Rewind Tuesday - Episode 2 - Blast Off & Wrap it Up

This week I am featuring the Cricut Imagine cartridge Blast Off with the legacy, or original cartridge Wrap it Up.

I don't have a video for this Tuesday's project.  But don't be sad, I have an awesome tutorial for you on Friday!  It is with Cricut Craft Room and the Disney Cartridges!  You are going to be thrilled for sure.

So with that said, on to this Tuesday's project.

I must be having a facination with the boxes on these cartridges because I made yet another!

For this project I used the box on page 46 of the Wrap it Up cartridge.  It has a car on it but if you use craft room you can just hide this part.  I filled this with the blue stripe from the Blast Off cartridge.

Cut the rest of the pieces the following size...

Cupcake @ 2.7".  Also cut one extra icing and cherry.
"4" @ 1.2"
"u" @ 1.1"
Rectangles @ 3 x 4.25" filled with orange pattern & 2.75" x 4" filled with yellow.

Use the cuttlebug folder to add texture to the yellow rectangle and I used swiss dots on the icing.

I use Stampin Up heat n stick powder to apply diamond dust to the cherry.  Love this stuff!
Next week I have decided to use a stamp set that I purchased and have yet to use.  There are several in this set by Great Impressions and they feature one of my favorite animals....the cow.  I don't know why I like them but they look so cute and innocent.

So keep a look out for that one! 

Don't forget to stop back on Friday!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Everyone.  It's Kris back with another project to celebrate Valentine's Day.   I created this for my DT project at Creative Critters Imagination.

I used a few cartridges for this project...A Child's Year, Heirloom and Craft Room Basics.

My card base is 4.25 x 4.25.  I used my Imagine and a color from the Heirloom matching palette to create the base. 

The base layer is approximately 4x4 and I flood filled it with a pattern from Heirloom.  The scallop heart is from the Craft Room Basics and filled with a cream color from the same cartridge.  This is placed on the base layer and I just used print to get my base.

The red heart is also from Craft Room Basics.  I used the shadow feature of the image from A Child's Year and welded it to the heart.  It is flood filled with a coordinating color.  After printing and cutting I ran it through my Cuttle Bug with the Damask Tim Holtz texture fade folder. 

The boy and girl are printed in black and cut out.  I sprayed them with Iridescent gold glimmer mist and glued them to the red heart.  It is then popped up with dimentionals.

The camera didn't pick up the sparkle.  I looks much prettier in person!

On the inside I used a stamp from Stampin Up and the word window punch and frame punch.

You inspired me and now I am writing down my list! You know my biggest problem is when someone asks me if I can do something crafty for them I almost always say "yes" so then their project hits the top of the list and my personal stuff get left in the lurch. Maybe my New Years pledge should have been to focus on my half way finished projects instead of taking on new ones. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm off to tackle #1 on the list.

Finish it Friday - Episode 2 - Organizing Bling & Small Stamps

In this episode of Finish it Friday, I'm bringing you a little organizational idea that I use to store my small packets of bling and stamp sets like Studio G.

I've been organizing, as my husband would say - Still organizing!, but it's a trial and error.  You try something for a while, see if it works, and if not, try something new!

This idea though is something I'm going to keep.  I like how it works for me, I can put it away and keep it organized, and well....you'll see.

Leave me a comment and tell me your unique way of storing something in your craft room.  Maybe one day I'll be done and can share my room.....maybe!  LOL!  I'll include a linky if you want to link to a post or video you would like to share with something you organized.

Don't forget to check back on Tuesday for another episode of Rewind Tuesday.  I'll be using Blast Off and Wrap it Up!

Rewind Tuesday - Episode 1

This is the first episode of Rewind Tuesday.  On Friday I picked two cartridges to use together and make a project.  The lucky two cartridges were Freshly Picked and Nursery Tails Imagine cartridge.

I used an awesome product from Stampin Up called heat n stick.  This stuff is incredible.

I didn't seem easy at first but, here's what I came up with.



Here's the video with instructions.



Don't forget that I have a giveaway for the first episode of Finish it Friday.  Leave a comment on Friday's post to be entered!

Next Tuesday, I will feature the Imagine Blast Off cartridge and Wrap it Up.  This should be a good one!

All hail the New York Giants!

My team is in the superbowl AGAIN!!!!  Yea Giants!

Play hard and win!
