#1 Dad Gift Bag!

Good Morning, I'm so glad you decided to stop by, since Father's Day is just around the corner I wanted to share a simple and fast project I did.  Father's day is a very special day for me, not only because I have been blessed with a Wonderful Father, but because my children get to show their father, just how Special he is.  I also want to take this time to let my Father know that I love and appreciate him so very much. 

So for my project I decide to make a Gift bag and a matching tag.  This was super easy to make and I really love how it ll came together.  So I hope you will enjoy it.

The card for this project was cut at 5.5 height and 5.32 width.  The tie was cut at 1.06 width and 5.00 height.

The Phrase was cut at 5.49 width and 2.00 height, then I just link the tie stripes to the phrase.

All the cuts came from the Wrap It Up Cartridge.  I have included some pictures with the measurements for your convenience.  the paper used was some old paper I found in the clearance section at Hobby Lobby.  I purchased a plain gift Kraft bag and then just added the paper and the cuts.  I made a small tag to go alone with the bag.  Then just used some decorative tissue paper and this Gift Bag is ready to go.  I hope you enjoy this project and that you have a Wonderful Father's Day.  Thank you so very much for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the other Design Teams blog and check out all of the Great projects they have made.

Happy Graduation!

Wow!  I can't believe another Graduation term is here!!!  So my oldest niece is graduating and I just could not believe it!  I was not able to attend her graduation, but I did want to send her something special so, I made her this simple card.  I know she will enjoy it.  I hope you do to.

I used the Happy graduation Cart for this card and some black gems and a real tassel from EK- Jolee's. 

I hope the pics help with the measurements for this card.  I used the flip feature and the merging feature to create the card.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the card.  Have a Great day!

Memorial Day Centerpiece!

Good Morning!,  So happy to have you join me today.  For this challenge, we were asked to create a project for Memorial Day.  So this is what I came up with.  I used a new Independence day Cart with my  Cricut Expression 2 (E2). 

So , there are several cuts from that cart here, the banner  and the stars.  I have taken step by step pics so you can see how each one of the elements on this tree was put together.  The banner is easy, you just cut the different layers and then put them together.  The rosettes, I provided pics for that here.  

The circled flowers, you will punch four different sizes of circles, distress the edges and then layer them together to form your flower. I hope you have enjoyed this project. Thank you for stopping by.

HUGS,

Martha
