Another Mother's Day Card

I made another Mother's Day Card for two different challenges...Cardz TV (Make a Mother's Day card using the colors white, blue, green and purple) and Die Cuttin' Diva's  (use a tag cut). Here is my card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Blue, Green, Purple and Patterned Paper.
Cricut Cartridge Wrap It Up Flower1 page 25, (Tag and Tag Blackout)
Cricut Design Studio
Green Ribbon
Mounting Tape
Computer Sentiment

Fairly easy card to make. I cut the blackout tag in blue then cut to fit the sentiment and green leaves. I used mounting tape to adhere the tag onto the shadowed tag and again on the shadowed tag to the card. (I made the shadow by cutting the white blackout tag 1/4" larger than the blue one and used "Hide Selected Contour" for the hole in the tag).  I tied the ribbon through the hole in the tag and then tied a bow. I thought the background paper fit the challenge so well.

Have to run now...leave a comment (become a follower)...thanks for stopping by....

Easter Treat Boxes

First, don't forget about my Give-away from the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl last Monday (click here).

Here are the treat boxes...

and a little closer...

Now I wish I could take credit for these ideas but I actually saw a version of them on two different blogs...the Chicks are from The Bug Bytes and the Carrots are from Small Bits of Paper. I made the Bunnies myself. I would like to thank you Ladies for your inspiration.

I actually made 6 Chicks, 6 Bunnies and 15 Carrots (5 each in 3 different papers). I plan on filling them with Chocolate Kisses in the Chicks and Bunnies and Jellybeans or M&M's in the Carrots. (I just have to  get to the store and buy the candy).

Finished Chick and Bunny Boxes: 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" x 3/4"

Materials:
Cardstock: Patterned Paper, Cream, 2 Shades of Brown, Light Green, Purple, Yellow/Orange and Yellow.

I used 4 Screens in Design Studio: (12" x 12" mat)
First Screen...To lay out 4 Boxes. Cut them out 3 times with 3 different Patterned Papers.
Second Screen...6 Bunnies (3 1/2") (3 on one 6"x 6"side and 3 on another. Use "Hide Selected Contour" for all the inside lines in the Bunnies. Cut them out in Cream, Light Brown and Dark Brown. (I cut them out in Green, which I didn't use.) I also have one extra Bunny in the other colors for another project).
Third Screen... 6 Shift Base Chicks (3 1/4") and 6 Layer 2 Shift (bottom layer of egg). (3 Chick Eggs on each of the top 6" x 6" squares and 3 bottom layer eggs each on the bottom 6" x 6" squares of the mat. Cut Chick Eggs in Yellow and the bottom layer eggs in Green and Purple)
Fourth Screen... 6 Layer 4 Shift (top layer of egg) and  6 Layer 3 Shift (Beaks) on another screen (2 eggs each on 3 of the 6"x 6" squares and the beaks on the last 6" x 6" square of the mat.

Finished Carrot Boxes: 1 3/4" x 2 1/2" x 1 1/8"

I used Design Studio to lay out 5 boxes on the screen (four in the corners and one in the middle). They were 4 1/2" each.  I cut the Clear Craft Plastic to fit the on the inside of the boxes behind the windows.

 I'm planning on giving them to my family on Easter when they come for dinner. I'm so excited....I can't wait! (I hope they like them as much as I do.)

I hope I inspired you to make these boxes as much as I was inspired when I saw them. Thanks again Ladies.

Pretty Princess and 100 Followers

Wow! I can't believe it...over 100 followers. I'm so excited. Thank you so much.

I made this card for the challenge at Two Scraptastic Gals (use Storybook or Wrap It Up cartridges) and Die Cuttin' Diva's (use two different cuts from two different cartridges).

This is the inside:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Glitter

Mounting Tape

I don't normally have a chance to make a "girly" card (I have all sons), so I thought this cut would be fun. And since it is "girly", I had to add the glitter. I think it turned out really pretty.

I also thought I would share this other card that I made...not for any particular reason except to have it in my stash .

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Green, Brown, Cream, Pink, Orange/Yellow and Patterned Paper

Hope you like the cards. Leave me a comment. I would love to hear from you. Thanks.

Also, check out the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl here or just my part here. I have a give-away there. You have until Sunday night the 17th at 11:59 PM to become a follower and leave a comment on that post.  Good luck!

Pillow Boxes

One of the presents I received for Christmas was the Cricut Cartridge Wrap It Up.  It has the new handbook which, in my opinion since I am use to the old handbook, I think is harder to understand. I am sure that it will be fine once I get use to it. I do like that it shows you the location of the image on the overlay.

One of the images that I liked was the pillow box, found on several different pages. I cut the poinsettia one and thought it turned out really nice. (I don't have a photo of it, as I used it already). However, I thought that the pillow box would make a great gift card or money box even without the special image cuts on it. So I put it in Cricut Design Studio and used the hide selected contour to hide the inside cut design and then I also resized the box. I was able to get two (2) on a 12" x 12" mat. This is several of the boxes that I cut:

I thought that these would be great to keep on hand for birthdays.  I like the way they turned out either with "birthday" paper or with the solid cardstock and embossing. (I used Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Happy Birthday). Now all I have to do is make some coordinating tags.

Hope you like these pillow boxes...just imagine what you could do...
