January Monthly Challenge: Scraplift a Circle Blog Project.

Project should include:

2 or more Cricut Cuts

Use a project seen on the Cricut Circle Blog

Use products from 2 Sponsors

I chose to scraplift a cute cupcake card that I saw on the October 1st Blog. It was made by Charity Hassel. I cut it out following her specifications. It was from the Cricut Cartridge Straight From the Nest. Which I really like by the way.

The Sponsored products that I used were pink Bazzill embossed paper for the base of the cupcake and white for the tag and Imaginisce rhinestones as bling on the button on the cherry and 2 others on the front of the card.

I cut out some pink felt for the 2nd layer and some brown felt for the cherry stem and used foam to help it stand out. The cherry has some red glitter on it.

Seize the cupcake is a hero arts cling stamp.

Thanks for the Yummy idea.

Cricut Weekly Challenge # 15

This is the Weekly Challenge # 15: Feeling Frosty.

Brrrr! Winter is in full swing over many parts of the country . . . but even if it is warm where you are, you can use Winter-inspired elements to fuel your creative juices on your next Cricut project. We challenge you to incorporate white paint, metal, and a snowflake cut on your project this week.

These are the cartridges that I used:

Winter Woodland-Frosty

Winter Lace-Snowflake

And the scalloped ring from saved on the Gypsy

I flecked white paint on the card and then sprinkled glitter to give it the frosty look. I also added white paint to the metal star and tied it up with some silver cord. The snowflake was cut at 3.59 out of some glitter paper with an Imaginisce rhinestone in the middle. The snow flake shadow has some stitching around the edge. The scalloped ring is also stitched. So fun to make. Hope you like it.

Primary Bulletin Boards

I had a good time making these 3 bulletin boards for our ward. My husband was so nice to help me with them. We used the Cricut on all three of them. The first one has printing from the Cricut on the scriptures, and the theme was laminated and then cut out. The second one has some frames and a spinner and the last one has a lot of cuts from "Create a Critter" and the words in the theme are laminated and the scripture is printed. The creatures, sun and flowers have styrofoam used to give them dimension. They change out the scripture and the theme every month that are in the frames.

Lisa's Design Star Contest-Altered Box

Here is the Birthday Cake Box finished. The Primary is going to have the children come up and choose a bag of treats for their birthdays. They also sing a birthday song to them.

Cricut Magazine Challenge-Primary Birthday Box

The Primary asked me to make them a Birthday Box for the birthday treats that they give each child on their birthday. I thought that I would make it look like a cake. This is my first one. I am thinking of making two so they can have a choice. I found some really great drawer pulls at Hobby Lobby for the top.

I took the handle off the box and changed the closure on the lid and added some foam to the bottom of the lid so it would close properly. The box was painted with pink paint. Then it was covered with paisley paper in pink and blue. I sewed the border onto the paper. The border, the cupcakes, and the flowers were cut on the cricut. The top of both cake layers have gathered pink netting. The bling is plastic beading, some large sequins, and large stick on gems. The top layer pulls open with the drawer pull as a handle to reveal the treats. Both layers have some flower trim around the edges.

See the newer post for a look at the finished cake. So what do you think? Thanks for looking.

So how do you like my blinged up Relief Society manual. I get a lot of strange looks when it comes out for the lesson. Yes, those bumps are ladybugs on top and along the side. I also made a large book mark with a ladybug as well. I bound it with the zutter and put on some charms to make it jingle. Lol. I was so excited that I did the Old Testament manual too.

I saw the Cricut Challenge to use these colors but I was a week late.
