Happy Birthday Puppies Cricut Layout

Good day crafters!
Here is a layout I made for a challenge. The challenge was to use the colors: Brown, Red and Blue and to use the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. The only things that aren't from SYI cartridge are the lettering (those are from the Hello Kitty Font Cartridge) and the Happy Title Digi Stamp I created.

ALL die cuts came from Stretch Your Imagination!

INCLUDING THE PUPPY DOGS! That's RIGHT! We were told to Stretch Our Imaginations....
So in true Paper Piecing Fasion.....I DID!

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of the puppy on the left. I used my Pebbles, Inc. Dry Decorator Chalks to chalk the edges of my die cuts. For a tutorial on how I create my die cut faces, CLICK HERE

Here is the cake. I chalked it, embossed it and added a little glitz with my Stickles.

Here is the puppy dog topper. Even his hat is from SYI. You can see that I used my White Gel Pen as well as my chalks to give all my die cuts dimension. Of course, I had to add some touches of glitter too.

Here is an angled view to show the dimension on the page.

Here is the puppy dog on the right.

I almost forgot to mention....The Dogs are STRAIGHT CRICUT CARTRIDGE ONLY!

NO Design Studio

NO SVG FILES or third party software

NO Gypsy

I think it's obvious where the colors brown, blue and red are (as well as every other color in the rainbow...lol).  Well I guess that's it for today! Hope you have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Thank you for sharing your crafty time with me!

Father's Day Layout and Card Set

Good day crafters,

Here is a layout I did for the Pink Elephant challenge. I also completed a coordinating card. 

View of both projects

I used Fall Breeze Glimmer Mist to shimmer up the frame, Flowers and the flourishes. Please see bottom of post for Flower Tutorial link. I created the frame and the flourish for my digital cutter. I want to start sharing some of these files with everyone, but I am still really green in this area. I will update this post with a link to the free flourish file this afternoon hopefully!

View of the layout.

The flourishes on the border is the free cut file at the bottom of this post.

Closeup shot of the flourishes and flowers. FREE flourish file at bottom of post.

Here is a closeup of the card. This is the FREE frame cut file I will be giving to my newsletter subscribers. So be sure to sign up :-)

Different angle to show the raised frame. I will be giving this Digi Stamp Sentiment and the one on the layout to my newsletter subscribers as well.

The frame on the right is the one misted. The other is just the plain cardstock. I am trying to show how very pretty the glimmer mist makes it. It is just hard to photograph.

Here is a close up of the flowers I made. You can make these using a flower on the Forever Young Cartridge. Or you can use punches or a cut file. Whichever you have. I did color the brad with my Copic marker. It was originally a gold brad. Yeah Copics!

I have a quick tutorial on making these flowers on my website.

Father's Day Cricut-Digi Stamp Card

Hello Crafters!

Hope you're having a Wonderful Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by to get some inspiration!

I am sharing a quick card I made. Perfect for Father's Day. I think I will be giving this one to my brother.
So, as far as "Cricut"ing goes, there is only one element on here from our "bodacious bug". The branch die cut is from the Serenade cartridge. I cut it in brown cardstock and then put some Cinnamon Stickles on it. I designed the sentiment. That is the FREE digi stamp I referred to. Just sign up for my newsletter and I will send the link to download it in the newsletter.

(Be sure to remove spaces and put a dot instead of spelling out dot-those naughty spammers :-(

For the rest of the card, I cuttlebugged the tan paper, ink distressed it. You really can't see in the picture but I inked the brown and moss paper edges with some gold. That gave it some nice character. Anyway, hope you like it. Quick, easy and ready to roll!

Cupcake Box-Cricut and Template

Hello everyone,

Here is a cute Cupcake Box project I made. using the following items:

Cupcake Box: Cutting File (WPC, GSD, SVG)
Cricut Cartridges: Mini Monograms and Celebrations
MS Border Punch: Cupcake Border
EK Success Punch: Daisy Border

View of Top.

Side view 1

Side View 2

I used the Mini Monograms cartridge to cut out the scallop frame. I cut out a piece of transparency and sandwhiched it between the scallop and the top of the box. That way when you open the box, you don't see the mechanics on the inside.

I used the Celebrations Cartridge to cut out the tag, the word Celebrate and the cupcake. I inked the cupcake pieces with Lime Pastel, Orchid Pastel and Amber Clay Chalk Inks.

I used the MS Cupcake border punch and the EK Success Daisy border punch to create the borders around the box.

Finally, I used some Lavendar Liquid Pearls and some StarDust Stickles to create the pearl drops and the glittery effect on the letters of Celebrate and the frosting of the cupcake.
