Mailbox from Lovestruck Cartridge

Hello Everyone- I have to say I love this project....

This is the mailbox from the Love Struck cartridge.  Ok-if you cut it out in just regular designer paper the mailbox is not sturdy.  So I just cut it out in red cardstock also and attached the two together as one.  It makes it very sturdy and I was really happy with it.  When I cut it out I used my fit to page feature.  I believe that it cut it out at 11 1/2 inches.

For the label on the side I used Lacy Labels from the Cricut Lite Cartridge and the bird is a punch from Stampin Up

Hope you enjoyed this project.. Come back as I will be doing a Blog Hop this weekend and these ladies are talented. 

Have a great day. 
Wendy

Need a graduation gift idea?

First of all the Card was made using Hello Kitty Greeting (Graduate Hello Kitty) cut at 3.5 in. and Beyond Birthdays for (You did it) cut at 1.5 inch. I distressed it with Tim Holtz "Black Soot" ink and stickles in a few places. I gave the tassel a 3D look using embroidery floss. Add a little ribbon and a pop dot under the graduation cap and your done. The paper is by SU

This is a gift card holder that was cut from Just Because at 3.5 in and the diploma was cut from Hello Kitty Greetings at 3 in. I just used the SU paper I used for the card for the background.

This is just a paint can. I covered with card stock that matches SU paper that I distressed using the same black ink. I used Locker Talk for the word graduation. 

The graduation cap was made by taking my Crop-a-dial to punch a whole in the center. I then cut the square with rounded corners from George at 5 in. and used my I-top to make the brad. And last but not least is the tassel. 

 This is exactly how I made the tassel.  I tied it off knoting it right under the band (two times).  I then cut about 1/4 inch above the knot.  As you can see by where I placed the scissors this is where I cut to make it the tassel.  For the black ribbon I just ran it up thru the floss and put a little glue inside to hold.

It is a little difficult to explain-so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me directly.

Altered Purse & Frame

I love to alter items

This was a Bare Elements Maria Purse-Half Moon (made by Creative Imaginations)

I covered the purse with the New Websters Paper Line "Life's Portrait" and distressed it with Tim Holtz "Black Soot" distressing ink. All of cuts were made with my bug using "Forever Young" cartridge. A few items were embossed with my cuddlebug and various folders then give dimension using pop dots. And for the final touch on is the black cording purchased at Jo-Ann's.

The frame was covered the same way using the distressing ink and cording. (Frame was just $1.00 at Michaels)

Etching with Vinyl and my Cricut....

I etched these wine glasses for a friend. I used the Cricut cartridge Don Juan. The glasses read Naughty & Nice. I gave them with a bottle of wine. Yummy!!

Gotta love my Cricut-Tags Bags and Boxes

I used 12x24 papers and cut at the max size. I used some of
Stampin Up's beautiful christmas paper. Can you believe it the red and white paper is flocked...... I love this paper.
