Newlyweds - CM Divine Wedding

Another Wedding on the way:
Our friends from New York will be celebrating their wedding and since we cant go and be part of the event, I decided to create a special card/invitation for them:
The card was cut in gray shine card stock,5 x 10, using the combination of white and black polka dots for the button and printed b/w designed.

To give some texture to the invitation, I add a white ribbon with a bow on the front.

Then I add Mr & Mrs from CM Divine Memory phrases and a black and gray artistic frame to highlight the names.  Also, this was mounted in adhesive foam squares.

On the inside a Reserve table sign with their names.

Using the computer I write our best wishes to celebrate this moment in a very special way.

Since the card became to large, I cut an envelope to wrap the card as a gift.  Using the same cartridge I cut newlyweds from phases in black and cut a peace bigger to be used as a border in polka dots b/w paper.

 

Many blessings in your new life together.

 

Birthday Card - Elegant Edges

Ok, this project was hard, because was the Birthday card for my friend Carmen the one that introduce me to the cricut world.  She made beautifullll cards.  Since recently we went to Washington DC to see the cherry blossoms, I used the Cherry blossoms inspiration for her card.

 

The card was cut 10" x 5".  To decorate the center I used Elegant Edges Cartridge cut in 4".  The 50 number was cut in 3".  The pink paper was used as a border to the line paper on top, decorated with the cherry blossom flowers around.

 

For the inside, I used the reverse of the paper that has flowers and wrote in the computer:  50 means, groovy, cool. awesome.  Happy Birthday BFF!  Many blessings and lots of fun!  I used pink font color to highlight the card.  Some of the cherry blossom flowers where place in the shape of the printer flowers to decorates more the inside.

 

Carmen, I hope you like it.  Happy Birthday my Friend, and Thank You for my new addiction to the Cricut World.!

• The anchor is was cut from Cricut Cartridge Mickey and Friends (3")

 

 

 Banner:

• For the banner I cut my friends name at 8" tall.
• Each letter was decorated with some nautical image from the Cricut Cartridge Life is a Beach.

Kids Valentine Card - Create a Critter 2

I'm so happy to be back to my Cricut.  This time I found a challenge from Fantabulous Cricut Challnge Blog, #148 be my valentine that gave me inspiration to create a card for my daughter and son for Valentine's Day. " Love is in the air."  I used Create a Critter 2, a great gift from my Cricut mentor Carmen.

Patty's Card: (Girl)

She loves Koalas, and Create a Critter 2 has the most cute Koala.  Also I used the wiggle tags to make more emotion and movement into the Koala.

Outside:
Koala - cut 2 1/2"
Card - 5 x 10"
Stamp - Just because
Inside:
Letters - Hugs and kisses, flowers cut 2 1/2"

Carlos Card: (Boy)
My son is a fanatic of hug and kisses, but specially if Hershey's Kisses are involved!  For Him I cut the cupid Hug n Kisses and make an arrangement of kisses from him.  (Also Creative Creater 2) 

Outside:
Card: 8 1/2" x 8" - in the center for folding I did some lines to make it easy to fold.
Hugs n Kisses letters - cut 2 1/2"
Flower bouquet - cut 5"
In this case it was not necessary to cut the flowers, since I was going to put the kisses.

My best friend daughter turned 20! OMG! driving, college, boyfriend, etc....I am not ready for that.  We celebrated her birthday with a Mustache Party.  It was super cool!  Everybody had a mustache including the card that I did for her.  Today I saw that Fantabulous Cricut Challenge has a new challenge about birthday cards.

 

Cartridge: Forever Young

I cut a 5" x 10" card and folded one half and the other half in two half. I followed the instructions from How to Make Easel Cards from ScrapTutor.com. Then I cut one piece 5"x5" to created the front of the card. On the 5 x 5 I embossed using the Happy Birthday stencil. To decorate the front I cut a female silhouette 5" with a short dress from Forever Young. I used her favorite colors, purple and lavender. For the mustache I used my Billionaire Cartridge. ON the inside I wrote: "Le mustache Glamour".

 

The mustache was from Billionaire, Cricut Lite.

 

The letters I used are from  Billionaire Cartridge.

 

I hope you like it.  We had a wonderful mustache celebration!

 

Halloween Candy Box-Tags Bags & More 2

Finally Halloween is here, even Xmas is on all the stores, but lets deal with one holiday at the time.  We are going to be out of town for Halloween, so I was thinking in a little gift for my children's cousins to bring.  I used Tags, Bags and More 2, to create a mini box, with Halloween paper (K&Company). 

Materials:  Cartridge Tags, Bags & More 2 and Happy Hunting's.
Additional materials:  Action wobbles, glue

This is the top of the box.

The first layer is a black paper mat to put the second layer with the carabellas on yellow.Under the black layer is the action wobble to give moment to the top.  I did various layouts, witches and hats.

On the inside, the paper has beautiful colors and I just put some M&M.

To put the final touch, the orange ribbon goes around and under the action wobble head.

 

I hope you like it! 

Treat or Treak!!

SKdigis-Tropical Storm Challenge - Playtime

It was funny to find a Tropical Storm Challenge just using an umbrella.  We were Sunday and Monday inside because of Isaac.   Well, apparently everybody had the same duties, shutters, cleaning and pick up the backyard and resting inside until the storm pass.

For this challenge they used digital images, but I'm not so good in that subject, so I used my inseparable Cricut to do my project.  Just thinking about the storm, I cannot used some theme more relaxing than a bath, sorry a shower....an umbrella.....

Cartridges: 

• Cricut Lite Playtime - for the bathtub, cut in 3" height.
• Cricut 3 Birds on Parade - for the umbrella
• Cricut Billionaire - for the text "Ready to relax" 

First I cut the bath 3" top two times, in brown cart stock and in blue card stock.  Then I cut the rest of the image, the bath top and the bubbles both in white paper.  For the bubbles I used Glitter glue white.  Then I used the Cricut stencil to create a designed and color the bath top with Studio G blue chalks.  For the umbrella I used the pink chalks.  To decorate I add a little pink bow on the top.
Just a piece of white ribbon will be used as a towel.

I hope in the near future I learn how to used the digital images, but for know I am having fun.

 

Are you ready to relax.?.....
