FCC Halloween hop

Happy Halloween and Welcome to the "Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Design team card swap Blog Hop"  That is a mouthful isn't it? Not everyone on the team swapped cards, but those of us that did decided to do a blog hop sharing our cards with you. The first card is the card we made and the second card is the card we received. I had so much fun creating this card. I am very pleased how it turned out. For the front of the card I used Miss Kate Cuttables' Web Alphabet, Core'dinations Pearl paper and Cuttlebug embossing folder. For the inside I used cuts from  Simply Charmed  for the Ghost and Bat;  Disney's Pooh and Friends  for the pop up pumpkins. I created stencils using pumpkin cuts from Create a Critter to create the shadows.  PKS stamps and MCT ticket metal die. For the little pumpkin on the ticket I used a homemade "enamel" dot. I altered the shadow of the pumpkins and the lower body of the ghost to create the pop ups. Inte...

Last minute Halloween tip.

Hello friends!  I hope your day is going well. Just wanted to pop in quickly to share with you my way to fix the "Nose Flattening Costume Mask problem". If you got little ones dressing up for Halloween and got the uncomfortable face mask they would LOVE to wear but dislike when wearing it, here is a super quick and effective way to solve it and you probably have these materials at home already: Super glue that dries quick and does not have a lingering smell. please make sure it is completely dry before allowing your child to wear the mask. I used Loctite and hold pretty well. Heavy duty scissors, Thread, needle, muslin fabric, high density foam or densified batting ( such as the one used on chair pads). I am crazy about washing everything before my kiddos wear it, so I washed and dried the foam thoroughly ;) I hope this tip is helpful. Please note that the foam might pose a choking  hazard for little ones so is best to cover it with some sort of cotton fabri...

PDE Party: Easel cards

Hello crafty friends! It is time for another fun linky Party over at PDE . This weeks theme: Easel cards.  Here is my CAS card. This will be part of a set I will be giving my dear friend Tonya for her upcoming BD. What do you think? For this card I used a square cut using MCT 4" square stitched die and an 8" x 4" rectangle out of kraft stock.  The sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping: Big Notes II, stamped using red memento ink.  The adhesive bling squares are from Darice.  The tree is debossed from a Darice folder and colored it in with markers.  This is a 10 minute card easy to mass produce. I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by, I cannot wait to see what you create! Please visit the rest of the team's blogs for more inspiration! Have a wonderful day!

FCCB Challenge me Monday #234: Fright Night

Welcome to another Challenge Me Monday...  Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge! Challenge #234 Halloween Projects This Weeks Sponsor Stamp set from Kitty Bee Designs Be sure to visit our sponsor! ~This Weeks Challenge~ Halloween Projects To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.  For mine I used Create a Friend, Create a Critter 2 and Type Candy. I started by cutting a journaling tag using MCT 3x4 stitched metal die. place it on my Cricut mat and using a red pen at Speed 3 Pressure 1, yes 1 you read it right :) wrote the words using Type Candy font. Since some of the letters lost their shape due to the size of the font, I used a thin black marker to add simple highlights so the words are more legible. Use heavy weight cardstock if using the red pen so your ink does not bleed thru. Cut the create a friend at 2.5" tall an...

Have you heard?

Hello friends! I hope your weekend has been wonderful! I just wanted to stop and share with you - in case you have not heard ;)- that Tombow is having a DT call. Of course I had to jump at the opportunity, and in doing so I am sharing with you three projects. First, a set of pillows created using Gypsy Wanderings and Cricut's Gold Glitter Heat Transfer: This were fairly easy to create. I just sized the words from  the "Leaf 1" cut to 11"x 9" reverse and cut it. I was very careful to weed the negative cut to use it for another pillow :) No waste, love that! It took a little bit of time to place the negative back together, but is well worth the time. For the pillow shams I used 1 1/2 yard of  43" wide fabric. Created simple envelope covers by cutting (2) rectangles  and used store bought pillow forms. Next, I created this Treat holder using CCR Basics and my E2. Paper is from Core'dinations and the sentiment is from Inspired by Stampin...
