Exploring Cricut Daily Project

Hi Everyone!!

Today is my daily post for the Exploring Cricut blog! I have a quick little card for you today. I really wanted to cut this cute little giraffe from Create A Critter, so I decided to make it into a baby card.

The card base is 4"x4"

The giraffe was cut at 3"

All of the paper were scraps that I had!

Hope you enjoy this quick and simple card!

1st Exploring Cricut Challenge

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the very 1st Exploring Cricut Challenge!! Our first challenge is using the Art Philosophy cartridge. We were to use "square 3" on page 43 of the handbook, along with any 2 flowers on the cartridge. I knew EXACTLY what pictures and paper I wanted to use when I saw these cuts! I even ended up making 2 different layouts because I liked them so much.

This first layout I really challenged myself and only used 1 photo! I NEVER do this. I always have so many photos I want to scrap, so this was hard for me! I have never used an enlarged photo, in fact I usually crop them down! This is a 5x7 print, but it is one of my favorite photos, so I really wanted to make it stand out.

The square was cut at fit to page

The flowers are "flower 5" and "flower 6" p.29 cut at 2", 2.25", and 2.5", with the layers

 I knew these flowers, along with my background paper, were perfect for these cute pictures of my nephew, and ring bearer. Isn't he the cutest?!?!

Hope you enjoyed the first Exploring Cricut Challenge! We can't wait to see your submissions, so once you've finished checking out everyone's projects get creating!

Birthday cards for a guy

Good Morning Everyone!

Ok so if you're like me, sometimes it just seems really hard to make a card for a guy. Well let me tell you, I've been on a roll with guys cards lately! We have alot of birthdays right now. This post I will share 3 different cards with you, 2 are somewhat similar, they were for my Father & Brother-in-law.

This first card is a "flip flop" or "swing" card. I had never saw this card style until I went to CHA in Chicago, I love it! This is going to be a long post, so I will post details on how to make this later.

The Gun was cut from Old West at 1 3/4"

The stars were cut at 1 1/4"

The stamp is from My Pink Stamper Fabulous Phrases stamp set

This next card is a standard A2 card.

The gun on this card was cut at 2"

The "wanted" poster background was cut at 4"

The stamp is from a 40:31 Creations stamp set

While at CHA I also stumbled upon Raisin Boat stamps. Have you heard of them? Not only do they have their own stamp line with over 200 sets, but they offer a "Netflix" type program for stamps!!! How cool is that?!?!?  Head on over Here to check them out! You will love them!

I made this A2 size card for my Brother-in-law using their "Born to Ride" stamp set, as well as their Brick background stamp. I love how this card turned out, and can you believe it, no Cricut! That doesn't happen very often!! To get the coloring of the brick I first covered the entire stamp in red ink, then went over it in spots with brown ink, I think it turned out pretty cool!!

The Happy Birthday sentiment is from a 40:31 Creation stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed these "guy" cards! 

Stayed tuned for a super cute "flip flop/swing" style Baby card!

Have a great day!
