Cowboy Onesies

Looking back through my blog posts I found several drafts that I had never posted.  So here is the first one!

I made these onesies foa a baby shower gift.  All cuts are from Cricut's Old West cartridge.

Thanks for checking in and I'll be back again soon with another one to catch up on!

3D Hot Air Balloon!

Hello and Happy Saturday!!   It's my turn to host the challenge at My Sheri Crafts and I went with "Nothing Flat".  I'd like to see 3D items, but anything that isn't flat will work.  

I've seen some of these Hot Air balloons and I've really wanted to make one, so when my mother-in-law asked if I could come up with some type of hot air balloon picture or something for her to give a friend, I decided this was it!  I bought the "High Skies" svg kit from svgcuts.com, grabbed some beautiful K & Co. papers and went at it!

For a first attempt, I'm really pretty pleased!  The only issue I had was that the score lines cut as a completely separate layer and then the base pieces of the balloon were cut with no score lines, so I took them to the scoring board.  Anyone have a suggestion as to why that happened and what I do about it?  On my mat it doesn't show them separate and look like they'll be done all in one cut, but then they split up when I hit "Go" in Design Space.  

Anyway.....I do like how it came out and I'd like to make more, but I'd really like to figure out the glitch first.

I hope you'll check out all the great inspiration over at My Sheri Crafts and then join in the fun!!!

A Ladybug Hello

Hello Sunshine!  This week at Tuesday Throwdown we are sponsored by

 

and our theme is "Welcome Spring".  I've used an image from our sponsor for my simple card:

I've colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and layered it up and popped it up with pop-dots.  The card base is a Cricut cut.   A little a bit of ribbon that I've had for years and there you go! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us! 

A Big "Howdy" from the Barn!

HOWDY!  This time at My Sheri Crafts Sheri has challenged us to make shaped cards!  Those are always fun!!!  I used a barn from Cricut's County Fair cartridge and made a card base with it.  

Inside I used the Board front from the Old West cartridge.  I love being able to do this with the Explore!  

This card isn't very fancy, but it's going to a little 7 year old boy that I'm just getting to know through the Zippy Zebra's Smiles and Hugs program.  This is a group that sends cards to children with chronic illness or special needs and their siblings.  No one gets left out!  I've got a drawerful of cards, so I thought this would be a great place to use a lot of them!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card!  I hope you'll join us in this fun challenge this week!

Monochromatic Mums!

Hi!  We are going Monochromatic at Tuesday Throwdown this week!  We are sponsored this week by
                                             and they were generous enough to let us select a digi stamp or digi paper set from their collection.  I chose "Mum's The Word" stamp set for my card.

The image is cut with a Spellbinders die and mounted with foam dots over a paper doilie, which is mounted on a purple doilie that is a Silhouette cut.  The inside stamp is one I've had for at least 2 years and this is the first time I've used it!  It's from Stampabilities and I believe I'll be using it some more!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you over at Tuesday Throwdown!

My First 3D Paper Flowers!

This week at My Sheri Crafts our new challenge is from Sandy and she's asked us to celebrate Moms by making something with flowers.  

I've been seeing so many of these spiral cut flowers and they all look so wonderful that I just had to try them.  Mine don't look nearly as beautiful as so many I've seen, but I really like this wreath anyway!  

All cuts are Cricut , the flowers are from Flower Shoppe, the fern type leaves are from Dinosaur Tracks and the others are from Heritage.

These were really fun and I love the little wreaths!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us!
