Design Team Wednesday

Hello everyone...Happy first day of summer :) In honor of the start of summer, I created a card using Tanner's Summertime Fun stamp set. The sunglasses come from the Forever Young cartridge cut at 2 inches. I love the bright colors of summer and this Lime Twist paper worked perfectly to show off those colors.
Have a great day!

Part 3-Card

Welcome to part 3 of the Father's Day set. What better way to top off the set than with a card! This is an A2 size card. The shirt is cut at 4 inches. I inked around the edges with the Tim Holtz frayed burlap ink. The sentiment comes from the Mr. Cricutcrazy sentiment set, Dads, Dads. 
I hope you've enjoyed this set! 


Have a great day!!


Hugs,

Altered Picture Frame

Hello everyone! Welcome to part 2 of the 3 part Father's Day set. Today's project is an altered picture frame. I bought this picture frame at Michaels in their wood section for $1. First, I painted the back and the edges with Khaki Folk Art paint. Then I used some patterened paper from the My Mind's Eye Lost and Found collection to cover the front. I used Modge Podge to glue it down. Then using the Simply Charmed cartridge, I cut some ties out at 1 inch. The 2012 comes from George and Basic shapes using the shadow cut, also 1 inch. I inked the edges of all of the cuts with Frayed Burlap by Tim Holtz. 
Thanks for stopping by. See you on Friday for part 3.


Hugs,
Heather

Father's Day Gift Bag

Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by. Today I worked on a 3-piece gift set for Father's Day. I'm going to start by showing you the gift bag. This is a smaller bag measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I used the cartridge Simple Charmed to create the shirt. I used my gypsy so the measurements aren't exact, but it's roughly 8 inches long. I hid the face that is originally on the tie. I then used my Tim Holtz tiny tags die in my cuttlebug to create the tags. The sentiments come from the Mr. CricutCrazy Dads, Dads stamp set. All of the images are inked using Frayed Burlap distress ink. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Check bag on Wednesday for part 2 of the set :) 
Have a great day!!


Hugs,

Heather

For today's card, I used the Cricut cartridge, Sports Mania. I cut the trophy at 4 1/2 inches. The card is an easel card so the base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 and 2 3/4. The patterned paper comes from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found. I ran the cream cardstock through a Cuttlebug folder entitled Stars.

Play Date Cafe Challenge

Hello everyone! Today I'm participating in the Play Date Cafe Challenge and I had a such a great time coming up with a project. Mr. CricutCrazy is sponsoring the challenge and the prize is amazing. So make sure you head over to their blog to get all of the information. 

Here are the colors that need to be included in your project:





For my card, I used the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge. I had tried using the cartridge once and was very frustrated, but now I think I have the hang of it and I'm addicted to it :) 






I also used Mr. CricutCrazy's stamp set, Christ is My Life. I thought it would be the perfect card to give someone serving our country. I hope you enjoy my card and please participate in the challenge for the chance to win the amazing prize! 


Have a great day!
