Hip Chick Layout, Free Cutting File, Hip Chick File Set

Good afternoon Friends,
Hope you are all enjoying your day today! I wanted to post a layout I had made over the weekend. I had intended to post it on Sunday but due to some serious technical difficulties, I could not post.
But here it is:

This is a view of the entire layout.
I think it turned out really “HIP”. I used the following cartridges to create this project:

3 Birds
Hannah Montana
Rock Princess
Straight From The Nest.

All the die cuts and pieces are what I call “Straight” Cricut. In other words, I didn’t use any Design Studio or Gypsy “Magic” to cut these files.

Here is a close up of the groovy-licious “Chick” again ALL her pieces are from Cricut Cartridges.

Here is a close up of the flourish and “Chick” title.

By The Way: This project fits in with our current 3 Flowers Challenge. Be sure to take a moment and go to that post HERE. You still have time to enter your project!

So for those of you who don’t have those cartridges and or use the MTC and or SCAL programs in conjunction with your Cricut: Here is a cutting file set that I made that you could use to re-create this layout:

This set includes:

The “groovy-licious” Chick with her big lips, pumps and bow :-)
The 6pt flower
The 6pt Silhouette Flower
The Flourishes
The “HIP” Custom Letters
The Chick Title

If your interested in this set you can purchase it by clicking the button. This set is only $2.99

Lastly, Here is a “FREE” Flower cutting file. You still have time to download it and enter our challenge! This file will be available until Wednesday, January 26th, 2011 – midnight est. time.

Bloom Card For 3 Flowers Challenge

Good morning friends,

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend! Here is a quick card I made to go with our challenge of 3 flowers this week.
The bloom title and the flowers are from the Cricut and the butterflies are a couple of Martha Stewart Punches. The digital Stamp is one I created.

I used Stickles in the center of the three flowers. I also used a bit of Stickles in the centers of each butterfly.

I used my Copic Markers to color in the flowers and flower pot. I used a touch of dry decorator chalk for the cheeks of the skunk.

Hope it gives you some inspiration. Please be sure to join us in our challenge this week. You can click on the challenge link button on the left bar.

If you're interested in the Digital Stamp, You can purchase it through the link below.

The digital stamp is black and white line art in png and jpg format. Only $1.50

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a super cute…HIP CHICK layout I am working on!

Have a wonderfully Cricutlicious and Crafty Day!
