Create a Critter Layout!

Hi this is Misty from The Daily Scrapper.

I had fun using my piecings from the Imagine swap for this layout. My Imagine will only print so I had to be creative for the swap and make the papers and then cut them from my Expression using a regular cartridge. It was fun to do. I used Create a Critter for the cuts and Hopscotch for the papers.

Thanks Guys Have a great day.

Congrats!

Hi Everyone!   It's Liza from Hoo's
Crafty!  I am still so excited to be a part of this Team and working
with AMAZING ladies.   The DT was asked to make a "Graduation" project, and
while I do not have any High School or College Grads, I do have one cute little
PreSchool Grad!!    I am so excited for her to be entering
Elementary School next year, she has been so ready for it!


Here, all my supplies are gathered.




A2 card cut and scored to size from Recollections Ice Cream Social
Yellow cardstock from scraps cut {4" x 5.25"}
Patterned Paper was printed and cut using my Imagine. {2" x 5"} and Hopscotch
Cartridge
Because I wanted the print size to be smaller, I filled a 5.5" square with
this print, rather than the full page.Kraft cardstock {1.75" x 5"}
Yellow satin ribbon
Inchworm cut from Create A Critter {3.25"} and filled with Hopscotch Cartridge
I cut the base layer and the 2nd feature layer onlyI added brown behind the head only, so that the body holes would still be
open.
Cap was cut from Everyday Paper Dolls {3.75"} and filled with Hopscotch
Cartridge



Here we are all put together!

I decided to emboss the kraft paper using the New Arrival embossing folder with
my Cuttlebug.
I layered all my mats, and wrapped my ribbon around before adhering it to the
pink card.
Added buttons, made a bakers twine tassel, and stamped with TPC sentiment




I inked all my edges of the inchworm, and popped him up for some fun dimension.
I love that this cap already had a slit in the cut, his little antenna fit right
in perfectly!




The blank white inside needed some color, so I added a strip of the letters cut
from the Hopscotch printed paper.


Thanks for stopping by, feel free to join me over at Hoo's
Crafty anytime!

Hey Ladies
This is Summer from Cricut Diaries, and this week Bobbi Jo from Sweet Sassy Diva asked her DT to make a project other than a card or a LO for Valentine's Day using our Cricut or Imagine. So I wanted to make a Banner using both my E and I.
Recipe:
Birthday Bash
Create-A-Critter
Hopscotch (pattern cartridge)
2 Sheets white 12x12 card stock
2 Sheets pink glitter paper (DCWV)
Brown/Pink tulle
White Gel Pen
Clear Stickles


I started my Banner by cutting the 1st layer of the banner on my E using Birthday Bash. I cut them at 4 1/2 and when I hit auto-fill I was able to get 4 banners per 12x12 sheet. My paper was a bit thick so I also used the multi-cut option.

Then on my "I" I cut the 2nd layer of the banner (same size 4.5), the letters were also from Birthday Bash (cut at 2 inches) all colors and patterns were from the pattern cartridge Hopscotch. After my banners and letters were printed and cut I switch out the cartridges and cut the bee from Create-A-Critter again with colors from Hopscotch, the bee was cut at 3.5. Since I only used a small part of the 2nd 12x12 white sheet of card stock I hit the "load last" button and was able to have the bee printed and cut on the same sheet!


Once my bee was all put together, I added some clear Stickles to the wing and used my white gel pen on both the bee and the letters.

I used my Pink ATG to adhere the 2 layers of the banner together.

The Bee was pop doted on!

Again I just used my ATG to attach the letters.


I took strips of tulle twisted together and the knotted through the holes in each banner to string them together.



Hope you enjoyed my project, My girls and I always love Valentine's Day, what can be better than tons of PINK!

Sweet Cupcakes!

To me Valentine's Day is all about CUPCAKES! This week at Sweet Sassy Diva Bobbi Jo asked us ladies to make a Birthday or Valentines Party Item. I found the cutest cupcake wrappers on the Sweet Treats cart.


Recipe:
Sweet Treat Cartridge
Hopscotch Imagine Pattern Cartridge
12x12 White Card Stock
Clear Stickles
Toothpicks
Stamp (I used "Be Mine")
Versamark Ink
Stamp'N'Bond
Brown Glitter

I started by printing and cutting the wrappers at 5.5 inches using patterns from the Imagine hopscotch cartridge. I also cut out 4 hearts at 5 inches from the same cartridges.

I then inked all the edges of my wrapper with Distress Ink "Walnut Stain". And simply folded along the perforated lines. I used my tape gun to fold and hold my wrapper together, it was very easy to figure out.

For my toppers I stamped a "Be Mine" stamp with my Versmark Ink pad, added Stamp-N-Bond and heated it up with my heat tool, then I quickly added brown glitter to make my words sparkle! I brushed off any extra glitter with a fine paint brush once it had dried. Sorry I don't have another close up of the toppers but none of then turned out very clear. Once the hearts were decorated I glued them together with a toothpick in the center.

When you hit shift on any of the cupcake wrappers you are given a decorative cut-out, this is the one that I picked, I then choose a pattern that matched my toothpick toppers. And again for some more sparkle I added stickles to the center of my cut out!

So just drop a cupcake in the wrapper and pop on your topper for this super cute and easy Valentine's Day project!
