Exploring Cricut and More - Vacation Challenge

Happy Monday and time for another challenge at Exploring Cricut and More! This week's challenge is to create a card, layout or project with a vacation theme. You will also need to use some kind of sign on your project.

I decided to create a layout at the beach using my Silhouette Cameo.  One of the features that I really like with this machine is that I can use any fonts that are on my computer. I used the Offset to create a shadow for my title. All the pattern papers were from Lori Whitlock's new stack Summer Bliss. The journal card and beach sign are also from this collection. The turquoise mat is Bo Bunny.

Thanks for stopping by and looking forward to seeing what you create!

Exploring Cricut and More Thursday Project

Hello! Glad you stopped by. I'm sharing at Exploring Cricut and More today. Summer has begun and I am loving this warm weather after the winter we had. Everyone is settling in to their jobs, activities and it's wonderful:)

I created a note card with cool blues and soft greens. It made me think of meadows and hiking in the mountains, which we don't have in the middle of our country. But, none the less that's was my inspiration!

I curled the flowers up with a stylus and added Stickles to the tips of the petals.  The banner behind the flowers was cut by hand. The center was rolled with a stylus to get as tight as possible.

Exploring Cricut and More - Happy Birthday

Good Morning! Today I have a birthday card I am sharing at Exploring Cricut and More. I can never have enough of these on hand and I wanted a clean look for this one.

I used my Gypsy to help me size the scallops from Plantin for an A2 card. I really like the look of aqua and red together. A nice combo that could be used for a guy or girl. I layered the scallops to the card front adding a gem and ribbon for some texture.

The sentiment cut beautifully from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake. There are quite a few different fonts to choose from on this cartridge!

Exploring Cricut and More - Father's Day Challenge

Hello! Glad you came over. It's a fun challenge at Exploring Cricut and More this week. You are to create a card, layout or craft for Father's Day. It will be here before we know it. I created a card using my Silhouette Cameo.

This is a fun card that came together in minutes. The base of the card was cut with white cardstock; so great to be able to write inside!

The top of the card opens just like a tool box. When adhering the black handle I left the red open a little at the top so the handle could slip inside. It makes for a nice finish at the back of the card. All the pieces for this card were cut to size for me making it super simple to assemble.
