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.

 

Warm Wishes Bags - Doodlecharms & Tags, Bags & More 2

Hello:

Its being a wail since I posted my last project, but were being busy.  Today I will like to share with you the Holidays Bag that I'm going to give to my coworkers.  Its a great inspiration from Pinterest and a great Cricut project.

The bag is from the Dollar Store and includes:  Hot chocolate, 2 candy canes, 1 chocolate bar Ghirardelli and mini marshmallows.

 

The front card is 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches.  The phrase Warm Wishes is from Doodlecharms.

 

 

 

In the bag, I used Lettering Delight Chill Out font to write our message.

 

I think this project is adorable, easy to make  and low budget.

 

Happy Holidays!

 

 

Happy Birthday Mustache - Forever Young

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!!

 

FCCB's On the Job Challenge - CCR Image Obama Rommey

Hello everyone:

I will like to share another challenge sponsor by Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog - Challenge Me Monday #127.  We have to create an occupational career image in order to participate.  Being born and race in Puerto  Rico, the most popular career is politics.  Yes! everybody wants to be a lawyer to be in politics, and also being in an election year, I think politics will be part of the occupational career to all of us.

 

To create this card, I used the FREE images from  Cricut Craft Room from Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.  They are fantastic and very realistic images.  I cut both in 4" and follow the images colors to cut every detail.

 I've it, specially free, and I know I will used it again for any project for my kids school. 

They look so real!!!

 Enjoyed!!

Then, for the first time I published my bags in the Cricut page, WOW!!!! That is a major step.  If I win I will be able to used all the cricut images from the craft room for free.  The competition is really hard, but in the mind time I have fun!  I don't put too much effort in this project, since I wasn't to be able to used it for my children lunch:

Cartridge:  Critters 2
Materials needed:  red, black and orange cart stock, a piece of orange ribbon, glue and two paper bags.

 This is the image of the two lunch boxes together.

Folding the bag in two, then you glue the BOO sign to the front of the image to keep all the attention in one side of the bag.  Know is ready for lunch!!

 

Enjoyed!!

 

 

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.?.....
