FCCB Cricut Crawl

Welcome to a New Year and to our new  FCCB Design Team for 2014

If you arrived here from Pamela one of our newbie Design Team members then your in the right place. I made my card for today using the Cricut cartridge Celebrate with a Flourish.

I used silver paper for my card base at A2 size. I cut the image at 3.00" and embossed it with silver embossing powder. I then inked a doily with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and adhered the image on top. The hat layer is cut from Coredinations paper. The banner 2014 and the New Year Sentiment are glitter stickers. For a little bling I added the gemstone and the white and silver ribbon.

 Hope you will join our challenge this week and create a card with a sentiment.

Enjoy all the Design team projects on our Cricut Crawl.

The next DT member on the crawl is Lynn B.

CHALLENGE #184 AT FCCB

The challenge this week is Signs Of Fall at FCCB. Fall is finally here in the south. It's time to visit the pumpkin patch.  Here is my pumpkin card, a sure sign of Fall.

I used kraft card stock for my base.  The pretty fall paper is from DCWV, All Seasons.  I used a stamp and die set from MCT time for my sentiment.  I placed some burlap behind the sentiment for texture and added an  orange sheer ribbon from Offray.  

The pumpkin was cut at 2.00" from Happy Hauntings.  Instead of cutting the pumpkin from patterened paper I cut it out of white card stock.  Remember our summer challenge were we used digital images from The Paper Nest?  Well I have been practicing coloring and I think I did a much better job coloring this pumpkin. I used watercolor makers from Inkadinkadoo in terra cotta and olive green.  It really helps if you have a water brush to do the blending. I found one at my local Joann's. I used a 50% off coupon so it wasn't too expense. 

Hope my fall card inspires you to join our challenge this week. Link up at FCCB and have fun crafting.

CHALLENGE #167 at FCCB

4th of July Cricut Crawl Challenge # 167 Red White and Blue

Welcome to Kim Kreation's and the 4th of July Fantabulous Cricut Crawl - Fantabulous Cricut's version of a Blog Hop!!

In honor of the 4th of July holiday, we're having a Red, White and Blue Crawl.  Each Design Team member has created a fabulous project using Red, White and Blue as the main colors, and of course at least one Cricut cut!

If you've come from JoNeita at Create with Joneita, you're in the right place!  If you've just happened across my blog and would like to see all the fabulous Design Team creations head on over to Fantabulous Cricut HERE  to start at the beginning.

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog!  There will be Blog Candy along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, and there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant who submits a "Red White and Blue" project at FCCB!

Here is my project.

 I love my country and am very patriotic. The card I made is to celebrate Independence Day.

I used Storybook cartridge to cut out the four in blue. The shadow feature was used to cut silver paper from DCWV Metallic Stack.  For the center I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 x 5 1/2".  This left a 1/2" border on both sides of the silver A2 card base.  I then cut the blue and punched stars. The red and white strips are 1" wide . I put glue on the white base and alternated the strips.  When they where all stuck down I trimmed the overhang.  I attached it to the card and then glued the strips of ribbon on each side.  The four is pop dotted and so is the banner, which is cut and embossed using a Spellbinders die.  Using a silver glitter pen I wrote Independence Day and July 2013. The blue glitter star is from a sticker pack.  I also used the silver glitter pen to do the faux stitching.

Your next stop is LB at Cool Beans By LB.  Make sure to visit all the stops along the way and when you get done, make sure you link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post!!

FCCB CHALLENGE # 161 OH BABY!

The challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog is to create a project for a new baby. My project is a rosette for a gift bag.  I used Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge to make this rosette.

The paper I used is some I had leftover from my niece's baby shower scrapbook. I cut the rosette at 2.50" and used 4 cuts pieced together to get this shape. I used a scalloped circle cut at 2.50" and the inner circle cut at 2".  I used hot glue to secured everything together.

  The rocking horse is one of the stickers from Martha Stewart and so is the felt borders and stars on the white satin ribbon.  The bling is something I purchased at Tuesday Morning. 

I hope you will join us at FCCB for this fun challenge. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.  I try to visit the blog of every entry. Good luck!

FOR THE GRAD

As you might know I had no computer last week.  I tried posting my Design Team project for the Graduation challenge on my cell which by the way is also having issues. Any way I thought I might post and share my project with everyone.

I used Wild Card for my cuts.  The local HS colors are red and black.  I do not have a grad this year, but still made a card for the challenge at FCCB. I used a piece of gold paper for bling and elegance. The black rhinestones are from Michael's. The ribbon is Ollfray from Walmart. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Loving my new computer now that I have everything loaded, (pictures, etc.). Will probably be posting again later, lots of catching up to do.  While I was computerless I did have more time to craft.  Have some projects I want to share.

BYE BYE for Now,

COWBOY VALENTINE

OK Another post for today.  I made a cute Valentine for a little boy.  I used my Paper Doll cartrige to cut the boy at 3 ".  The card is A2 size.  The papers I used  for his clothes are scraps from my stash.  The denim background is Jolee's boutique stickers.  The hearts are cut at various sizes from the Doodle Charms cartridge.

I used my Simply Live stamps from MCT for the words.  I was thinking of those little candy hearts that have sayings on them when I stamped them.  I used a red glitter pen to outline the scallop edges. Of course I used Peach Keen Everyday Faces for his smiling face.  I used my white gel pen for his eyes and rouge Colorbox chalk for his rosy cheeks.

The denim twine I used for his "lasso" is from the Twinery.  I wanted it to look like he had lasssoed the large heart. So here he is.

I am entering this card in the following challenges.

SHAPED CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE AT FCCB

I have been busy crafting Christmas cards and when I saw the challenge at FCCB I thought I would enter with a card I made using the Noel Christmas cartridge.

The door is cut at 5 1/2 " out of textured red card stock. The shifted cut is white card stock for the panes.  I used a silver glitter pen for the door handle.  The acetate wreath is from K&Company. To make the card I cut the shape in white on the blackout feature twice.  I glued the two pieces on one edge for the hinge so it would open.

Back to crafting working on a stickpin swap.  I'll post them when I am done. 

Bye, Bye, for now

I'm BACK with a project for FCCB

Finally moved and unpacked the essentials, my craft room. Missed my Cricut while it was in storage.

The challenge for this week at FCCB is snow.  I used my Christmas Noel cartridge to cut the snowflake at 2" out of vinyl. Since it was sticky on the back it adhered real well. It was flexible too so it fit around the ornament. I bought the ribbon and ornament at Walmart. I also bought the bells as a necklace and took it apart.   The jewel embellishments are from my stash.

The trick to coating the inside of the ornament is to use Glitter-It by Beacon. I used Martha Stewart glitter blueberry slush.

I made several and it didn't take long at all. I will be giving them as gifts. Now that I have everything unpacked I will post more often.

Have a great crafting day.
Bye Bye,  Kim
