I'm On a Roll -- Creative Critterz Imaginations Design Team Call

Good Morning Everyone!!

I JUST finished another layout from our honeymoon made entirely with my Imagine. I will be entering this layout in the Creative Critterz Imaginations Design team call. The Imagine Critterz blog is one of the reason I decided to get my Imagine. I wasn't so sure about it in the beginning, but then I started following this blog and saw just how awesome the Imagine can be. I'm hoping to become part of the Design Team and inspire others to create with the Imagine machine.

 All of the paper in this layout (with the exception of the airplane) was plain white when I started! All of the patterns are from the Cricut Imagine Hopscotch Cartridge.

The title "Getting There" was cut at 1.5" from the Cricut Robotz Cartridge and flood filled with a pattern from the Hopscotch Imagine cartridge. I chose the title because it was a LONG trip to St. Lucia. We left at 7:40 on June 13, spent the night in the Miami airport, and finally arrived in St. Lucia at 2pm on June 14!!  It was completely worth it though!

The airplane was cut at 2" from the Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge using a scrap piece of cardstock.  The journaling tag was cut at 3.5" from the Cricut Imagine More cartridge. I "cached" a pattern from the Hopscotch cartridge onto my Imagine so that I could flood fill this image.

If you are not familiar with "caching" a pattern onto the Imagine, it's super easy! All you have to do is open an image and edit it. When you are choosing the pattern if you just hold your stylus on the pattern it will pop up with a box that says "cache." Once you cache the image you can then remove that Imagine cartridge, insert another Imagine cartridge, and mix and match your patterns and cuts! I hope that made sense! Maybe I will do a quick video of it for you soon!!

I hope you like my layout! I'm so excited with how these are turning out, and happy that I've finally got into the groove in getting them scrapped! Don't forget to scroll down to see my previous post for the My Pink Stamper Design team!

Have a great day! I'm off to bed!

New 40:31 Creations Stamps!! --- late post

****Update: Unfortunately the 40:31 Creations design team had to come to an end. Lauren is a busy lady and was unable to continue on with her stamp adventure. Let's hope that she will be able to pick it up again later, she's got some great talent! Good Luck Lauren!

Hi Everyone,

As this is posting we are currently closing on our first house and started to paint and move. Not to mention yesterday we got a new puppy! (English Mastiff)  I know, we're crazy!!!

But I'm excited to share a card with you that I made using 2 of the new 40:31 Creations stamps! Here is a picture of the 2 new stamp sets:

Now, onto my card. I have to admit this was a pretty fast card. All of my scrapping stuff was just about packed when I found out we were getting new stamps to play with!  I also appologize for the pictures, my camera cord was packed so I had to take pictures on my phone!

I made this card with the JT Imagine cartridge that I just got for my birthday. My parents are HUGE motorcycle fans, so this image is perfect for them. I know I will be busy for a while, so I decided to make it into a Fathers Day card and use the "#1 Dad" and "its your day" stamps.  I was also tempted to just have it say "Enjoy the Moment".... sooo many good stamps on these sets!!!  The image was cut at 3.5" true size, which turned out to be a bit big, but I decided to just go with it! Needless to say, it is really long so the card base measures 4"x8.5"!!!!!  It's pretty big, yet I really like it!

The background paper is a piece of Bazzill Dotted Swiss paper.

I hope this helps get you in the mood for Father's Day projects!  

Now head on over to 40:31 Creations to see how to order your stamps!

Baby card with the Imagine

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Today I wanted to share a quick and easy Baby card I made with my Imagine. LOVING the Imagine, makes it so easy to make quick cards/layouts that are completely coordinated. One thing I always hate is digging through all of my patterned paper trying to find stuff that coordinates, Imagine completely eliminates this!! 

I made this card for our friends who recently found out they are expecting! So excited for them!

This is a standard A2 size card.

The layer is a stock image from the Imagine cut at 4" and flood filled with a pattern from Imagine More.

The onsie was cut at 3.5" and also flood filled with Imagine More.

The stamp is from My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments" stamp set

Have a great day!

1st Ever 40:31 Creations Design Team Post!! And my 1st Ever Imagine Project!!

Hi Everyone!!!

What a crazy day here! Last night we got TONS of Ice!! My car was covered in about 1/4" coat of nothing but ice this morning! We are expected to get 2 more inches of this ice tonight...yikes!  Needless to say, I'm having lots of crafting time!!

Today I wanted to share with you my first project for Lauren's 40:31 Creations Design team showcasing her new Love stamps!!  They are awesome!! High quality clear stamps, they are super thick, so you don't have to worry about accidently ripping them! They come in great packaging and are as cute as can be! I just love them, can't wait to receive my other sets! Here is my project for the Design team post:

The Red heart was cut at 4.5" and flood filled with a pattern from Imagine More cartridge.

The heart is one of the Stock images on the Imagine

I used the Cut only option on my imagine and cut 2 Black hearts at 4.7" to make a card base.

I attached these with a brad that I colored black (it was previously blue)

The people were cut from the Sweethearts cartridge at 3"

 Here is a close up of Lauren's stamp!! They stamp awesome!!

The next card I made VERY quickly. The heart was the first print/cut I made with my Imagine, so I just made a quick card with it!

The heart was printed/cut at 3" and flood filled with a pattern from Imagine More.

Again, the heart is one of the stock images on the Imagine.

The card base measures 4x4 (a 4x8" piece of cardstock)

The base layer was cut at 3.5x3.5 from plain white cardstock that my image was printed on!

Here is another close up of one of Lauren's stamps!! 

Hope you like my projects!! Head on over to the 40:31 Creations Design team post to check out what the other designers made! Go visit everyone and leave them some comments, there are some awesome projects!

Have a great day!
