Sweet Treats Video Series #3

Happy Wednesday….
Today we are using the tag function key on the Cricut Cartridge Sweet Treats.
Here is a really simple tag you can make for Valentine’s Day…

Enjoy….

This will be the last video in the Sweet Treats Series. I know I promised 4 videos for each series, but I have several projects I need to get done this week and weekend. I’ll post pictures of the projects I’m working on as they are completed.

Wedding Mini Album

Hi Everyone,
I’ve been married almost 14 years and I still have not scrapped any of our wedding. I think about two weeks ago I was playing with K&Co. Black and Ivory paper collection and thought it would make for a beautiful wedding album. So finally after all this time I’m gonna scrap my wedding.

 I wanted to make a video and did last night, but it just wasn’t meant to be. I couldn’t think while I was taping. It was really bad.

So the next best thing is pictures…

I used the “top note” chipboard shape album from Michael’s. You can find them on the dollar section.

The last picture is a Tim Holtz grunge flower that I made using Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge.  

 

My Pink Stamper CHA Projects

Guess what….Robyn “My Pink Stamper” debuted her two brand new stamp sets yesterday at CHA. Robyn asked me if I would be interesting in trying out the stamps and making a few projects for her CHA booth. I’ve known about these stamps for some time now and I wanted to spill the beans. Thank goodness she also asked my sweet friend Teri to help out as well. Otherwise I don’t know if I would have been able to keep the secret. Once your done visiting here, head on over to Teri’s blog and check out what she made. I have some serious mini album envy….She’s got me hooked on making minis too.

Those of you who follow Robyn  know how much she loves to stamp and you know that she would only use the best stamping materials out there for her stamps. They are amazing.

Here is what I made….I hope you like them. Lots of pictures to show…

Here is my first project…This is a wooden frame that I painted off white and then traced, cut, and distressed the polka dot pattern paper by Cosmo Cricket. I also used UTEE on some Prima flowers and added a tag that I stamped from Robyn’s collection. The I love You is also from the collection as well.

Project #2: is a card I made…you know I can’t go without making some cards. I used white cardstock for the base of the card and brown Bazzill cardstock that I embossed using my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. the pattern paper is by K&Co. I added some really cute gauze ribbon that I had in my collection as well as this really cute metal heart from Making Memories. The scalloped heart  is from the Gypsy Wanderings Cricut Cartridge. I added two of Robyn’s stamps to the scallop heart. I love this card….
Project 3: Is a clipboard that I covered with K& Co. paper. I stamped the butterfly from Robyn’s set and cut it out. Then I used UTEE to give it that glassy look. The flowers are Prima that I glimmer misted and added a button. What isn’t shown here is the cute little stack of papers that I stamped with the butterfly image.
Project 4: You know I had to make a Wild Card as one of my projects. I simply love the cupcake card. I’ve done a video on this HERE as a part of the Wild Card Series. This time I added the Happy Birthday stamp from Robyn’s stamps.
Project 5: For this project I used one of those band aid tins you can find at your local scrapbook store. I covered it with Comso Cricket pattern paper and then used Robyn’s stamps to make coordinating tags.
Project 6: This is a flap card that I made using the “Thank You” stamp and a “Flower” stamp that is also included in one of the set. I added some Prima Bling to the center of the flower for a little added something.
Project 7 and 8: I did a double page layout for these two projects. I used a Martha Stewart around the page punch for the photo mat section. On one page I did the whole mat and the other just the corners. I used Cricut Cartridge, Accent Essentials to cut the flowers in three sizes then wrinkled and distressed them. The tags are Robyn’s stamps that are all being held together with a brad.

Birthday Card

Can you believe this card has nothing Cricut……

This is a quick birthday card I made for my borther-in-law.

One of the hardest cards for me to make are masculine. I struggle with cards for men all the time. I think this card is great for either a man or women. It’s a little Kristina Werner inspired. I love her videos.

The picture doesn’t do the card justice. I had a hard time getting a good angle that would pick up the stamped image.

The stamp is from a Birthday Sentiments collection by Inkadinkado. I think I got mine at Michaels. I embossed the candle with clear embossing powder to give it that watermark look. Don’t ya just love the “Earth love” paper collection by Cosmo Cricket, the colors are my favorites.

Enjoy!
