Finish it Friday - Sports Wall Hanging

I had this project and pieces together just not done.  The base of it is a chipboard license plate I got at a scrapbook show last year. 

One side will be for football and the other baseball.  Then when the season comes around, my son can change it from one to the other.

The video is short and I appologize for the bad lighting.  It was dark when I filmed.

And I'm sort of sick again.  I started Zumba at our local VFW.  They don't use the building much and since it's closed up it smells musty and moldy.  I'm really allergic to mold and I think it triggered some allergic reaction.  And to think I slid past all the sickness in my house!

DT Project - Kiss Me I'm Irish Pin

This is my DT Project for Creative Critters Imagination.

 For today's project I used the new digital St. Patricks Day image set available under Craft Room Exclusives on cricut.com/shop.



Size the pin to your liking and color accordingly.  For the banner I used a pattern from the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge.

The pin itself is colored and cut as one image.  This video will guide you through how to layer an image with all it's pieces and cut as one piece.  It works great for those tiny pieces like you get in the Disney cartridges.

The video demonstrates the Goofy character but applies to any layered image.




The shamrock is glittered.  I used Stampin Up heat n stick to apply the glitter.  It keeps the glitter from coming off once set.  This stuff is WONDERFUL!  Glitter is Martha Stewart and has green and gold in it.

I cut an oval from craft room basics and sized it approximately the same as the image.  It is cut from cereal box and used for stability of the pin.

I added a pin back to the image with liquid adhesive.


Thanks for joining me today.

Finish it Friday Project

This week I'm going to be posting my finish it Friday post on Saturday.  This is my week to do my project for the Creative Critters Imagination design team.  I don't like posting 2 project videos on the same day, sometimes they get missed.  And I don't want you guys to miss anything.

So stay tuned on Saturday for that post.

Frog Card - DT project

This card is for my design team project on Creative Critters Imagination.  It was posted on the blog on Friday, Feb 10 and I wanted to share here as well incase you don't check out that blog. 

If you don't visit Creative Critters Imagination and you have an imagine...you really need to stop over.  The designers are fabulous and there are a TON of great ideas.  Click my link to the right to head on over.


For this project I used the Elise Imagine cartridge for my pattern and colors. 

I created the border from a piece of orange and edge die cut with Stampin Ups new Edgelit scallop die.  I then embossed it with the matching Stampin Up edge embossing folder.  I inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress Ink and rough upped the edges a little.

The faux ribbon I created in Cricut Craft Room using various widths of rectangles.

The frog is cut from Create a Critter and mounted on the front with dimentional adhesive.

For a little more detail, I used glossy accents on the leaves of the flourish.






Thanks for watching.
