Enchanted Layout, Free Cutting File(s)!

Hello everyone!
Happy, Happy Thursday! I am super happy to share my latest project with you!
I completed this layout last night and was just chomping at the bit to get it on here :-)
Here is a view of the entire layout.
Here is a closeup and angeled view of the "dress form" file I created. This beauty took me a while to complete. I create my own files from scratch and that can take awhile.
I added little punched flowers to it to decorate it. It started out as a plain white die cut and then I glimmer misted it with Coffee Shop Glimmer Mist. The shimmer is so nice but didn't photograph too well.
Here is the Enchanted title I created and cut. It is really small, but still cut well.
Here is a closeup of the corner flourish bracket I created. This too started out as a plain white die cut. I then Glimmer Misted it to match the dress form and to give it that antiqued look.
You can see the embossed mat closer towards the bottom of this photo. I used a larger 5x7 cuttlebug folder and then inked it with some Chestnut Roan chalk ink.

Here is a closeup of the Raggedy Edge Roses I created. These started with red Bazzill cardstock. I glimmer misted them with Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist. This served two purposes. First to give the flowers a little shimmer. Second to make the paper pliable so that I could shape the petals.

Scalloped Rose and Pass It On Cards

Hello everyone,
Hope you're having a great week so far. I have two cards to share with you today!


PROJECT 1
First up, I created this card with the 2 Timothy sentiment from the Cutting Cafe! I love how easy their files are to work with! Be sure to check out all the wonderful printables and cutting files they have!

I created the rolled scallop rose file and cut it out of some old Stella Ruby Basic Grey paper I had in my stash. This rose is like the one I gave away a couple of weeks ago, but the file is different. It has deep scallops that when rolled resemble the petals. I then curled the petals down so that the rose would "open up" and look more realistic. I also created the "wavy cut" border. I cut it out of the same patterned paper as the roses and inked the edges.

If you're intersted in the wavy border and rose files, please see the bottom of this post.
Here is a view of the card.
Here is another view of the card and Cutting Cafe Sentiment. An angled view of the roses to show their depth. Just so pretty and so easy!


Project 2
I created the digi stamp file on this one. I made it for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge this week. I used a EK punch for the border and a Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the white mat. I colored the stamp in with my Copics.
Here is a closeup of the digi stamp. It is words to an old Christian folk song I used to sing as a little girl in Sunday school. When I saw the challenge at Stampin' Sister in Christ, it made me think of this song. So I found the lyrics on the net and made this stamp.


This is just a shot to show the depth of the card, but it didn't turn out that great.

Mane Attraction Cricut Layout

Good morning everyone,

Here is my project for this week's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge. Our challenge this week was Zoo themed. I used the lion from Everyday Paper Dolls and the "Mane" letters are from Sesame Street Font.

Here is a closeup of the lion. I modified him in my Gypsy with the Hide Contour feature. This way I was able to give him my facial features.
Closeup of the title block. I created the background title block Word Art and then cut the "Mane" letters from my Cricut. I popped up a couple of the letters with foam dots for extra dimension.

I used the following Cricut Cartridges:
  • Everyday Paper Dolls: The Lion
  • Sesame Street Font: Cut the "MANE" letters @ 1.75" all upper case.
I did modify the lion in my Gypsy. I am still really "green" with my Gypsy, so bear with me as I learn too! But I did the "hide contour" feature and then cut him out twice in two different colors of cardstock. Then I cut the "inner lion" part out of the one and layered him onto the "mane" part.

If you would like the Gypsy file click to download: HERE

Reminder: You must have the Gypsy and the Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge in order to cut this file out on your Cricut.

If you would like the WordArt title block Digi Stamp I created, click HERE to download.
This is a pdf file that you will print and cut.

BFF Layout-Cricut

Here is my project for the Pile It On Challenge Blog. Plus we had to use either plastic or some other type of stretchy material in our projects.

For my plastic or stretchy material, I used Magic Mesh along the bottom of the pink borders and I wrapped the photo mat with it. This is something that has been around for a long time :-)
Closeup of the title. I used Songbird and Wall Decor and More.
Here is a closeup of the cute Bugaboo Stamp!
I printed these cuties out and colored them with my Copics.



Cricut Cartridges:
  • Songbird to cut the "My" title. Cut @ 2" both font and shadow.
  • Wall Decor and More. Cut the BFF title. Cut @ 2.25" Cut "B" with Monogram Feature.
  • Bloom. Cut the flowers @ 2" and 1.5". I cut the 6 point flower: 2nd row from bottom, 4th key from left.
  • Used Bazzill cardstock and DCWV, Nana's Kids Glitter paper and Magic Mesh.
