Design Team Monday


Hello everyone and welcome to another Design Team Monday over at MrCricutCrazy. Today I used one of his newest releases entitled PeeWee. I used A Child's Year cricut cartridge. This has been my go-to cartridge lately. It has some great features and of course some of the cutest cuts. I used the card feature because I loved the dog bone border it added to the side. The card is cut at 6 1/2 inches. The girl and dog is cut at 4 inches. I added the background paper, which I punched with the scallop border punch. I also added cherry twine, a button, and some brown sugar twine, the twine can also be found on Tanner's site. Make sure you check out the other designers awesome projects for today!!

Have a great day :)
Hugs,
Heather

Christmas Tag Blog Hop



Hello everyone and welcome to the Christmas Tag Blog Hop! You should have arrived from Tanner's blog. If not, please start there and move on throughout the hop :) Today we are highlighting different ideas for tags you can use for your Christmas gifts. We're also using the Christmas, Christmas stamp set, which is sold out BUT if you leave a comment on Sherri's blog at the end of the hop, you will be entered to win this fantastic set! She has 1 extra stamp set and she so generously giving it away!! I hope you enjoy the hop and have a Very Merry Christmas!!


The tag that I created today was inspired by a card that Gale, the Happy Stamper made a couple of weeks ago. I decided to make a set of those cards for my mom to use as her Christmas cards for this year. I don't drink a ton of pop so I asked my 4th grade students if they could start collecting their pop tabs at home. Well, one student brought in an entire gallon baggie, plus 2 sandwich baggies FULL of tabs, so I needed to find a use for them and came up with this idea. This tag is a basic full size tag. I covered it in red card stock, then cut a piece of white card stock that measures 1 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. I tore the sides, added the tab and black ribbon to created the "belt," cut Happy Holidays using the Christmas Cards seasonal cartridge, and stamped the To and From. I then added fibers and ribbon on the top of the tag.
I hope you enjoy my tag and the other beautiful tags the team has to share. You're next stop is Vicky.
Have a great day!!!

Hugs,
Heather

Design Team Monday


Hello everyone! Today I'm showcasing the new stamp set from Tanner entitled PeeWee. I love the images and the sentiments on this set! Please head on over to MrCricutCrazy to see all of his stamp sets including his 2 new releases, PeeWee and Friends, Friends. He's also doing an awesome giveaway. For every stamp set you buy, you are entered to win a Cricut Imagine. Look on his Facebook page, his YouTube channel, or his website for more information.
On to today's project. We can't forget our furry friends on Christmas so I decided to make a gift bag using Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. It is on page 115 called giftbag, and is cut at 5 3/4 inches. I used a strip of patterned paper, an image from PeeWee, which was colored with Bic Mark-Its (Tiki Hut Tan), a tag from Tim Holtz alteration die, and a sentiment from the PeeWee set. This bag was a lot of fun to make! If you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a great day!
Hugs,
Heather
