Baby Girl boxed card.

I made this card for a co-worker last summer.  The cut file is on Cricut Design Space, if you search boxed cards you will find it.  It is quite simple, if I had had more time I would have embellished more.

Cricut Tool Caddy

For my birthday this month I received a bottle of wine in a wooden box.  I was about to throw the box away when I had a great idea, turn it into a cricut tool caddy.
I created a template and then asked my neighbour (who has a dremel) to make the cuts.  I still have to decorate the box but this is what it looks like.

Shimmer and Shine Birthday

Last year I was asked to make a Shimmer and Shine birthday card as well as cupcake toppers.  I really just printed the picture for the card, added some watercolor background  and mounted on a 6 x 6 card base.
For the toppers I printed and then used a scallop punch and put them on cake pop sticks.

Hockey birthday card

Thus year is all about using supplies I already have. So to make this card I dug into my scrapbooking supplies. I found this jersey it was perfect because the recipient of the card is a Toronto fan. I thought of cutting the sticks and puck on my Cricut but found some stickers for them. The background papers came from a SCT sampler.
The inside of the card had a Stanley cup (Close to my Heart) which I stamped with stazon in. We had already signed the card when I took a picture of the card so I am not showing the full inside.

Christmas album

I can hardly believe that I have finished my Christmas Album already.  This year at Crop and Create I purchased an album kit. It is the first time I have ever done one of these.  I finished the album before Christmas so all I had to was plop the photo's down.
Thanks to Catherine and her gang for this.

Wine and Cheese Birthday

This card was made for a co-worker, who like me loves wine and cheese.  I used stampin up Half full stamp set for this.  I colored the images with Spectrum Noir markers.  I used paper from the SCT sampler packs I recieve.  I added the piece of cheese by doing a draw then cut on my Cricut Maker.
Inspiration came from pinterest, unfortunately I can't find the link for that.
I changed the Sentiment stamps, they both come from Stampin Up, and the cheese was an addition.

Bra card

This is a card I made for a co-worker last month.  I saw similar cards and created a cut file for it.  I used paper from a wedding pack I purchased at Michaels.  I used jewels from Michaels as well, the butterfly stamp was from Close to My Heart.  the base of the card was done on my Cricut Imagine because I didn't have the right color of cardstock.

Life

I bought some canvas from the Dollar store so I could try the reverse canvas technique.  I cut the canvas off the frame using an exacto knife.  I then put Gesso on the canvas as I was working with water.  I used some Vicki Boutin art crayons to create my background, then added some "scrunched plastic" to put splotches all over.  I used cricut Iron on vinyl and a cricut sentiment.  I heat pressed for about 25 seconds.  I then painted the frame and placed the canvas back onto the back of the frame with a staple gun.  This was a lot of fun and hope to make more of these.
