Golfing Good Luck!

Happy Monday!

Hope you had a good weekend.

Mine was slightly strange as the house is so very quiet!

The boys flew to Indonesia on saturday ready for the World Champs today.
Good Luck Ossian!

Laura has asked us to alter a cricut cut for this week's BBTB2. challenge.

It was the perfect opportunity to make a Good Luck card for Ossian.

I nearly always alter my cricut cuts ...inking, embossing, doodling or glossy accents.

(And that's just this card..lol!) Personally I think it brings the cuts to life.

A side view to show the dimension and  inside.

I chose yellow to represent sand and blue the water.

I curled the flag for movement.

The sentiment is from My Guy by Paper Smooches.

Wild Card 2 for the card at 5" and phrase at 2".

Create a Critter2 at 4" for the flag and green.

I have made a card for Oss to open each day whilst he is away with some 'Mum' encouragement in!

Just didn't have time to take photos . If the mini cards make it home I will share.

I hope you check out my fabulous DT sisters and find time to play along with us over at BBTB2.

Thanks for visiting.

                                                

Chocolate Bunny!

Hi, how are you doing?

This week over at BBTB2 the very lovely Brenda has asked us to make an Easter project.

When I finished making last week's bunny challenge I discovered this sweet bunny  and just had to use him!

I used Create a Critter 2 at 3.5" for the chocolate bunny and took a scalloped circle punch to his ear for the 'bite' mark.

The stitched journal die is by lawn fawn.

Check out all the fantastic inspiration from the DT ladies and come play along.

BBTB2 - Easter Chick Box

Hi, how was your weekend?

Is it me or do they fly by? lol.

 

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and we have a new member, Diana, to welcome to the team. Welcome aboard Diana!

 

 For the challenge we  were asked to use our favourite cricut cartridge to make any project.

Well this was a tough one as I have 3 favourite cartridges and 2 of them are really old and I still 'go to' them.

1. Doodlecharms

2. TBBM

3. Art Philosophy

 

Two of my most Pin'd projects are my triangular Santa Box and my Reindeer Treat Box.

So I pulled out TBBM and made this cute Easter Chick gift box.

 

 

Isn't she a cutie? The triangular box is cut at 6" from TBBM and the head is from Create a Critter2 at 4" and I cut the body off and saved the wings.

 

 

The face is from Peachy Keen Everyday Assortment. The sentiment is from Color Me Happy  by My Creative Time and the loopy leaf die is from Paper Smooches. I hand made the felt flower.

 

Easter Chickie has a friend...will reveal soon! Heehee!

 

Do check out all the inspiration from the Design Team and come and link up your favourite cart project.

 

 

I am entering this over at FCCB - Pick a Holiday.

Show it off Saturday - Little Scrap Pieces.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

 

BBTB2 CD Box and Sleigh!

Good Morning, hope you had a good weekend.

Mine was spent with family and then close friends for dinner followed by a family game of golf, Christmas tree decorating and a film. It really was a fun and relaxing weekend. It makes a change to have a weekend without schedules and racing round! Christmas party season has started!

 

Our lovely leader, Susan, is our host this week over at BBTB2 and has asked us to make a holiday gift container.
I made 2 projects, my first is a table treat holder....

 

I cut the sleigh at 4" from Create a Critter 2. I flipped the image and cut it again for the other side and made a simple box to attach the sleighs too and added chocolate.

 

 

The poinsettia is a die.

These are super quick and easy and I will add a name to each sleigh and have them as place setting/treat holders for my guests at Christmas.

 

 

 

My other project is a  CD box....

 

 

This was hard to photograph to show it's a box and not a card!

 

 

I cut this from TBBM2 at fit to page.

The DP is MME.

Do you like my little penguin...I made him too!

I love needle felting.

 

 

The parcel is cut at 3" from Create a Critter 2.

 

I know this is a CD box but as we download music I thought I would put an I-tunes card in here instead.

 

My fabulous DT teamies have lots of awesome projects to inspire you so do check them out and come and join in the fun.

 

Dogs rule!!

Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend.

This week over at BBTB2  we are asking the question...

Cats or dogs - Which is your favourite?

 

Well I am definitely Team Dog!

And in honour of my Cavalier King Charles - Pan ( yes as in Peter!!), I made her a treat bag.

 

 

I used Create a Friend and Create a Critter 2 and mixed them up a bit.

 

 

I debossed the glassine bag and filled with dog biscuits.

 

 

Here is Pan with her baby and treat bag. She'll be much more excited when I open it for her!!!

 

The DT ladies seem to be Team Cat as I uploaded my project so do check them out and come play along and swell Team Dog numbers!! Lol!

and the phrase at 2.75".

A little ink, paint and embossing later and there it is.

 

Can't wait to see your patriotic projects.



                                                    

It's a Bugs Life!

Hi, how are you doing?

 

It's Friday so it means it's time for another Fun Friday Challenge over at Little Scrap Pieces.

This week it is a Bug's Life! Use a bug on your project.

 

I used Create a Critter 2 to make this cute ladybird card at 4.5"

The paper is from Penny Black and I added a PK face.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time.

 

Looking forward to seeing your bugs!!!

 

Have a great weekend.



                                                          

Congrats!

Hi Everyone, where did another week go?

 

It's time for another Fun Friday Challenge over at Little Scrap Pieces and this week the challenge is Buttons and Bows. Use at least one button and one bow on your project.

 

I stayed with a golfing theme...

 

 

I made this card for our son. Art Philosophy for the card, Create a Critter 2 for the green and outfit (the colours my son plays in!) . Teddy Bear Parade for the teddy bear. I wrote his age on the flag.

 

Karen and the girls have some fabulous projects to share so do check them out and hope you come and join us with this fun challenge.

 

Have a wonderful weekend.

 

Man Up!

Hi Everyone, hope you had a fab weekend.

Today is my turn to host at BBTB2 and since I live in a predominantly male household and am always needing male themed cards and gifts  I chose the challenge of Man Up!

to make a bag, box or container with your cricut for that man in your life.

 

 

As you know our son is playing in the Junior Golf World Champs so I decided to go with a golf theme. We have trillions (and no...not exaggerating!!) of golf cards around the house and apparently some are too precious to throw away (and I include hubby in this!!). Problem sorted in the shape of a file folder to keep them in. I used Artiste  and cut it at 5.25" which was a perfect size for the cards.

 

 

I used TBBM2 to make a milk carton (cut at 6") and used a SU punch to make a slot before assembling. Thought this was perfect as a money box and since it is glued together the only way to get to the money is to rip it apart!

 

 

 

I used Life's a Party and my Gypsy for the words and Create a Critter 2 at 2" for the green.

The main paper was Bo Bunny - Noel Stripe.

Washi tape for the edging.

Lots of inking and 3D foam.

The label on the file is also Artiste at .5"

 

I am going to make more of these folders as I think they will look fab as a set.

I was on a bit of a role and I also made some cards but they don't fit this challenge so I will have a 'male' themed blog week!

 

My Design Team sisters really rose to the challenge and they have some wonderful inspiration for you so do check them out. I know you guys love a challenge too, so I can't wait to see your amazing projects.

 

 I am entering these over at FCCB in their 3D challenge.

Bring on the Bunnies!!

Happy Monday Everyone. Hope you had a fab weekend.

 

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and the ever so lovely Suzanne has asked us to make a project with a cricut cut bunny.

 

My little guy is from Create a Critter 2...

 

He was cut at 3" and the eggs at 1".

I used my super easy tent fold card for this card and added  some embossing and a MS grass punch.

The sentiments are from Happy Easter from My Craft Spot.

 

I have a video showing you how to make a quick and easy tent fold card. If you haven't seen it and would like to check it out, click here.

 

I added an extra fold to attach my bunny to.

 

I love that this is so dimensional but folds flat for posting.

 

The Ladies have outdone themselves with some extra bouncy bunny projects  so be sure to check them out. Can't wait to see your bunnies too!

Shamrock

Good Morning,hope you had a great weekend.

 

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and the very lovely Brenda had asked us to use a cricut cut shamrock.

 

My cuts were all from Create a Critter 2.

The sentiment I wanted to add is sat at the Post Office as my parcel was stopped by customs!!

So will add it when I've paid the ransom note!

 

Hope you like my cheeky chappie worm. There's lots of inspiration awaiting  you over at BBTB2 so do check it all out and hope you come play along.

Christmas Gift Bags

This is my second post of the day,for my FCCB post click here.

 

We have a new challenge over at BBTB2,the lovely Suzanne has asked us to decorate a gift bag or gift tag using cricut cuts. I love making gift bags so this was right up my alley.

I have 2 different projects to share with you.

 

My first is a vintage feel bag....

 

I used an old favourite, TBBM to make the bag cut at 4.5" and used a MS punch for the edge.

The DP is the Turtle Dove Collection by Kaisercraft. The wreath is cut at 2" from Dec 25th and has clear rock candy distress crackle paint on it. The sentiment is from Jingle All the Way by My Craft Spot. A wire handle and ribbon, hemp and a wood button just to finish it off.

 

 

My next bag I kept really simple and modern...

 

I added this cute little gingerbread boy from Create a Critter 2 to a plain gift bag.

He's cut at 3" and it didn't take many embellishments to  pretty the bag up. Just popped him up with 3d foam for effect.

 

There is lots of stunning inspiration for you over at BBTB2,so do check it out and hope you come and join in the fun. I am so pleased to have a couple of bags done ready for the festive season.

 

 

 Looking forward to seeing your bags or tags.
