Birthday Card

 

This card was created using the Close to My Heart Artfully Sent Cricut art cartridge and the Cricut Craft Room. I used the Scene card and pocket card page 26 (hand book). Happy Birthday Wishes Scene card page 29 (hand book). Sentiment CTMH stamp Artiste collection. In the Cricut Craft Room for the inside of the card I used the hide contour feature taking out the Happy Birthday Wishes and the cut line for the pocket card then I added the frog cut. I cut the frog out using green glitter paper. I repeated the frog cut using pink glitter paper to cut the crown. The crown cuts first so I stopped the Cricut cut after the crown had cut. For the castle I hide the contours to cut out a solid mat. The castle was cut twice using silver and pink glitter paper. After assembling the castle I used pop dots to adhere the castle on the card.

Place in Time Calendar Photo Book 

 

I created this album using the paper collection Place in Time from Graphic 45 12 x 12 &; 8 x 8 paper packs, 6 brown paper bags, black 12 x 12 card, chipboard to cover the book, paper doilies, Kaisercraft crochet doilies (front cover)  lace border punch, lace with ribbon, black lace, Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations die (clock), Tim Holtz Distress ink black soot by Ranger,Tim Holtz Idea-ology Faucet knob, embossing powder clear, flowers and leaves, black pearl flourish, chipboard elements from the collection, metal book corners painted with Patina paints and adhesives Scotch quick dry and Wondertape.  

Each of the six pocket has a double sided photo mat insert for the month of January, March, May, July, September and November. For the months of February, April, June, August, October and December I made a double sided tag for each. To make the pocket for these tags I used Tim Holtz Alterations On the Edge die Brackets and Sizzix Card Edges 2 die.

Because I live in Australia our seasons, celebrations etc fall at different times of the year. So with that in mind you will notice some of the month themes from the collection appear in different months in this album. For example in this album I used July's paper for November and January's papers for June.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed viewing this post.

In the larger pocket there is a photo mat.To create the tags and the photo frames I used the Slice Elite by Making Memories. I used the 'Salutations' design card to create the tags for the small envelopes I used the 'Grandma's Attic' design card to make the photo frames. For the large tag I used the 'Basic Elements' design card. I used a Sizzix original die 'Library Card Pocket' for the small envelopes. To embellish the album I used lace ribbon, flowers, chipboard pieces, lace rub-ons, bakers twine, lace border punch and a Kaisercraft stamp set Miss Match-Bingo Cards.

7th January 1926 - 3rd January 2012

To create this scrapbook layout I used 'Times & Seasons' paper pack from Echo Park. I also used A C (American Crafts) cardstock for the base, tag and for embossing (red card) and ribbon. The embossing folder I used is from Tim Holtz Alterations. All the elements are from the paper pack. Just a note of interest - The photo I used was taken at Toombul Brisbane on the 25.9.1962 during band rehersal. Robert (Bob) Banks played the drums and melocida.

I made the tag using the image on page 7 (hand book). I used the layered feature and I changed the colour for the base of the tag using the pale pink. For the topper I used the pink & white dot pattern on page 44 (hand book). The tab was printed the same as in the hand book. I used a stamp for the sentiment 'Just a note to say...' on the tag which was stamped using pink ink. To embellish the tag I used a flower and button from Making Memories Blossom & Buttons 'Lemonade' and 3 flower stamens and white sheer ribbon. The tag was adhered to the pizza box with pop dots for dimension.

Welcome card (Baby Girl)

Cricut Imagine Hey Diddle Diddle

This easel card measures 5.5 x 5.5. To make the base cut a piece of card stock 5.5 x 11. Score the card at 5.5 and 8 3/8. Cut another square 5.5 x 5.5 for the front of the card. The image for the front of the card is on page 25 of the Hey Diddle Diddle handbook. This was printed and cut @ 5. I printed the image combined twice and then cut the layers. I embossed the fence using an embossing folder by Craft concepts Woodgrain. I printed the fence twice. I cut the post off one of the images so I could emboss them the opposite way from the railings and to also raise them by using pop dots. One of the full images I cut the grass section off then ran that through an embossing folder by Cuttlebug 'Caramelo'. I inked the embossing folder using Vera Color ink 34 Orchard and 134 Petal Pink. I used the deboss side of the folder. I coloured the centre of the flowers using a pink gel pen. I applied Glossy accents to each flower to add dimension. I used glitter from Pink Paislee to embellish the cloud, the body and wool layers of the lamb. I also used Glossy accents on the lambs face. To make the Welcome sign I used the layer feature on page 13 of the handbook and used colours from the color palette. The word Welcome was cut from the image on page 27 of the handbook. The word welcome was adhered using pop dots onto the flag. The left side of the flag was adhered flat onto the fence post and I used pop dots on the right side to adhere it to the card. I tied the bow using a bow maker by docrafts. The bow was adhered to the fence using high tack tape. For the inside of the card I cut a piece of card 2.5 x 5 1/4. The words Little One was cut from the layer image on page 27 in the handbook. The base that the words are adhered to I used the icons available on the cartridge and selected the light pink from the color palette. This was cut @ 2.3 and I trimmed the top and bottom for a better fit. I used pop dots to adhere this assembled piece onto the pink card. I adhered the pink card to the inside base of the card using foam tape. To finish of the card I joined two white flowers together with a pink split pin and then used a pop dot to adhere it on the card.

Cricut Art Philosophy

Sizzix Hero Arts Stamp & die-cut Framelits

I cut the tag @ 5 using the Cricut Imagine and the Art Philosophy cartridge. This tag can be found on page 60 in the handbook. The pattern on the tag is from the Cricut Imagine Greeting Cards Inside & Out. The pattern can be found on page 38 in the handbook. The diamond pattern border is from the Art Philosophy cartridge and it is on page 61 in the handbook. I used the pattern on page 37 and the blue from the color palette from the Greeting Cards Inside & Out. To assemble the tag I used pop dots to adhere the sentiment. The diamond borders are adhered flat to the tag. The flowers are also adhered flat onto the diamond border. Each flower has a small pearl (Hero Arts) placed in the centre.

Birthday Card

Kate's ABC & Mickey Font

This card was very simple to make. I just folded lime green card stock in half for the base of the card. I adhered a strip of brown card onto the base of the card. From the paper stack from My Mind's Eye 'Where The Heat Is' I cut a strip of the patterned paper with the houses and adhered that piece onto the brown card. I used the Cricut Expression 2 to cut out the pieces to create the little girl pushing the stroller. The number 3 was cut from the Mickey font cartridge. The Happy Birthday is a stamp. To make this element I just cut a strip of brown card for the base. Stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday onto a light brown card then cut that into a strip a little smaller than the brown card. Adhered the light brown and the base card together. To finish off the element I cut out the three little hearts from the same sheet of paper and adhered them on.

Merry Christmas (double page scrapbook layout)

Cricut Imagine Christmas Wish & Snow Angel
Cricut lite Jolly Holidays

Base card Bazzill white card. From the Christmas Wish cartridge I printed 2 12 x 12 sheets the pattern is on page 8 of the handbook. To make the mats for the photo's I printed 1 sheet of the green pattern on page 11. This was cut to make 2 mats 6 1/4 x 4 1/4, 2 mats 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 and 1 mat 4 1/4 x 3 1/4. The glitter card at the base of the pages was cut freehand.

The title Merry Christmas is from the Cricut lite Jolly Holidays cartridge and the title was printed and cut @ 2.5 three times. I selected the blue pattern on page 3 (Christmas Wish) for the base of the title. From the color palette I selected the darker pink. For the letters E R Y and the word Christmas I selected the green pattern (page 11). I offset these when I adhered them to give the title a shadow effect.

The presents are from the Cricut Imagine Snow Angel cartridge. The prints are on page 17 of the handbook. I used the layer feature for all the cuts. These were printed and cut @ 3.5, 2 @ 3, 2.5 and 2 @ 2. The rectangle present was cut at 4.5. The rectangle present in the sleigh was printed and cut @ 2.5. To create the large rectangle box/present I used the pattern on page 43 (Snow Angel). I printed this at a larger size then trimmed it to measure 3 X 3 1/2 inches. To embellish the present I used different sized blue & pink buttons and white string. All the round presents are adhered with pop dots.

The journal tag was printed and cut using the top note shape available on the Cricut Imagine. The base for the tag was printed and cut @ 3.5 the pattern is on page 8 (Christmas Wish). The insert was printed and cut @ 3.3 the pattern is on page 6 (Christmas Wish).

The sleigh is from Snow Angel page 15 in the handbook. This was printed and cut @ 4.5 using the layer feature. I adhered the sides and the bottom of the top layer using pop dots as this leaves an opening to slip the presents into the sleigh.

The tree was printed and cut @ 8 using the layer feature the pattern is on page 23 (Snow Angel handbook). For the pot for the tree I cut 2 using the layer feature and the pattern is on page 22 of the booklet. For the base pattern on page 39 (Snow Angel) printed and cut @ 10.5. The top pattern layer for the pot was cut @ 8.

Please note: For all the layered images I changed the colour for the border by going into settings and changing to Custom in the Border Preferences. Then clicking on Define color I used RGB codes R 255 G 206 B 250. Then I clicked apply. This put a soft pink around the images.

Did you see the 3D Christmas Trees in the first photo? I created these using the basic shapes available in the Cricut Craftroom and the Cricut Imagine. After I printed and cut the trees I folded them in half and adhered 4 different patterned trees together. I punched a hole in the top to thread the raffia to hang the tree. I also tied raffia to create a star.
