New Cutting Files & Digi’s @ PCW

Good afternoon crafty friends,  

I just wanted to share a card I created with one of the new files available at PCW.

This card was created using the Bears Under Umbrella Digital Stamp. It goes perfectly with our Die Cut and or Stamp Challenge, HERE.

Here is  a close up. I used the “pre-colored” stamp. I then used my Copic markers: RV13, B32, E30 and YR02 to color in some shading, etc. I then used some Stickles for the raindrops and for the hearts.

This goes with the challenge as the song I had in my head was the one by Neil Sedaka...Laughter in the Rain. It makes me think of my wedding day to my hubby. It played during our dinner reception and I was married in April...so to me it is a spring song classic :)

Here is a version of it. Take a moment and enjoy such a wonderful classic tune :)

 

This Digital Stamp Features the Pre-Colored and Uncolored versions in both png and jpg formats as well as the two sentiments in png and jpg format. A total of 4 stamps for one low price! LINK

Here are a couple more new digital stamps at PCW.

Cartridge Showcase: Sesame Street Seasons

Hey Everyone,

 I hope that you have been having a crafty week so far! Today Jenny of Crazy About Cricut has 3 really cute projects to show you! She has really done a fabulous job showcaseing the Sesame Stree Season's cartridge! I hope that she inspires you as much as she has inspired me! So without further ado here is Jenny!

Hi Everybody! Today I'm excited to share my project for the Cooking With Cricut's Cartridge Showcase.  Twice a week a member of the Design Team features a Cricut cartridge of their choice and projects we've made with that cartridge. We hope you'll be inspired to pull out your cartridges and find new ways to use them!   

Today I am showcasing the Sesame Street Season's cartridge.                                                                    

I fell in love with this cart when I first saw it.  The variety of projects and figures on it was amazing!!  Here are a few projects I made with this cartridge:

*For my first project, I used the Cookie Monster puzzle cut to make this card.

*I thought this sentiment was so perfect for this cut!

*My second project is using the Prop feature on this cartridge.  All of the character cuts on this cart have a something as a "prop".  These are super easy to put together, and are only 2 - 3 layers.

*Isn't this CUTE doodlebug so cool??  He is ready to indulge in some sugary treats :)

*My last project is using one of the 8 3D objects you can make on this cartridge.

*In addition to these cute flowers (how cute would a bunch of these look hanging everywhere!), you can cut a sun, pumpkin, snowman, sign, backpack, frame, and card box holder!   

I hope you enjoyed my projects and will give this cartridge a try!  TFL :) Until Next Time,

Jenny ~ Crazy About Cricut

Didn't she do  great job! Pleasee feel free to leave her some bloggy love in the form of a comment!
