Halloween Treats

I saw these pop holders in several of the blogs I follow and even a Die for the holder on one. So I thought, Heck, let me try to make something in CCR and, well I think I like mine :) Especially cuz it cost me $0 !  talk about last minute me… while waiting for Hurricane Sandy to take her toll and possibly make me bring 1/2 my craft room area upstairs I decided I better get movin..

anyone who would like the ccr file, just drop me an email

I made the holder with shapes from George and welded them together :)

 

Happy Birthday to Matt

I put this little card together for Ashton’s BF. He LUVS FOOTBALL!!

I found these digital papers at this Etsy Shop. She has all different football teams colors! The little Football Nut is from Bugaboo Digital Stamps. I wanted to follow a sketch I had seen on this Blog that I follow. She has beautiful work!

The digi stamp is colored with copic markers and a white gel pen on the football. I used my new Spellbinders M Bossibiities :) on the 2 thinner pieces of paper. The inside ticket stamp sentiment is from the Ticket Talk set from Cardz TV Stamps.com

Happy Birthday Giraffe

Alison turns 30! Oh my gosh, I’m getting older! lol  She adores giraffes, especially since we went to Disney this past year and stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The giraffes would water during the day and bedded down right outside our room! She named them all Geoffrey (like Toys R Us). I found it fitting to do this little card for her. I used the Zooballoo Cartridge. The card is cut at 8.5 x 4.25. I then used some chocolate flocking for his spots and his ears. It’s hard to see, but I chalked the clouds with blue. Enjoy :)

Halloween Frame

Hi again! I made a mini album for a co worker who’s daughter just had a baby earlier this summer and she has decided to use the remaining pages I didn’t decorate for the holidays thru the end of the year. I came up with this little frame using the Happy Hauntings 3D freebies and a cute little pumpkin from the Artiste cartridge. The papers were from a DCWV fall paper stack and welded in CCR. I made this to fit the 5 1/2 sized pages. The frame is cut at 4.45 height and is 4.25 with the welded pumpkin. The opening will fit a  2 1/2 oval picture. I’d be happy to share the file, just PM me :) if you’d like. Thanks for looking

Bones

I cut these two fellas from the Artiste Cartridge. I was using the cart for the other little cuts on my cards(previous post) and they caught my eye! These are just very simple put on the mat and cut away. I wanted to have my daughter show her BF’s sister what crazy possibilites we (CRICUT/Imagine Fanatics) have to help her decorate her new classroom. She is a special needs teacher and just got an official teaching position in a local elementary school. They basically gave her an empty room, with no blackboards,desks etc, so its building a class from ground zero! We also found out she cut 150 leaves by hand!  totally not necessary!!!

anyhow, the Boo is at 1.6” for height in CCR and the skeletons,one flipped are at 11.15” height and the head is 1.569” height. 2 fit on the page.

I am finding so many other cool things on this Artiste Cartridge,  it’s becoming a fav :)

A few Halloween cards

I played with a few of the freebie pieces from Happy Hauntings that I had cut earlier this month. I did a banner cut from the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge for the Ghostly sentiment which is a stamp from CardzTvstamps.com. The Happy Halloween stamp is from The {Stamps}of Life. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the little mouse and grave border.The pirate Ghost has stickle on his hat and a google eye and a piece of ric -rac from my stash. Hope you enjoy  :) and Happy Halloween!

The Haunted House is a 5 x 7 card and the Ghost is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

Team Teddy Bears

I had so much fun doing these little fella's up! One is a take on the game outfit of the Patriots and the other is the Dolphins. I used CCR and the E2 for all cuts and stash cardstock. The Teddy Bears are cut at 4.5 as well as all their outfits TIP TIP TIP The one thing I found on this cartridge is that in hiding some cuts you really have to zoom as far in as possible or you will miss a few of the slash guides that the piece has! I got a whole page done and errrrrrrr slices through some of the cuts.

A twisted Mustache

watch those eyes following you.... gargoyle cut at 2.5 from A frightful Affair and the 2 mustaches,the freebie in CCR this week!(mustache, top bowl 3.39 wide) (mustache, bottom stand 2.81) with the E2 inked edges with black and glossy accents in eyes.Oh and the gauze pad for effect :) The sentiment stamp is from Cardztvstamps.blogspot.com thanks for looking and Happy Halloween!

Canning and gift labels to match

I did up some Mustard Pickle and made this cute little tag for it. I used the CCR and welded 2 canning jars together. I used swiss dots cuttlebug to emboss bumps for the pickles,branches to the gray piece I hand cut from a single cut of the jar to give it some ridges like the real twist caps have and circles for the jars to resemble pickles. I used Savory for the canning jar and Just Because Cards for the pickle if you would like the ccr file,feel free to email me :)

Easter Egg Parade

just a quick card I colored up with copics. The digi is from Hambo Stamps.com. I used the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge for the mat cuts at 3 and 3.25. The image is done with the center point feature of the cricut :) I used Elegant Edges for the little 1/2 inch  (x2 for each side) border pieces behind the mat and the ribbon came from Reasonable Ribbon. I think Mom will like this one :)  Oh and the sentiment stamps are from Stamps of Life
