Technique Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

Today is another "Show Me Your Technique" Tuesday on the My Creative Time blog. I thought that I would play along today too.

I'm going to show you how I make different sized tags with the scalloped tag in the Tag Dies set. I have a video tutorial below, showing how it's done.

I've been having so much fun with the new Beary Special Thoughts sentiments set. It seems like every new svg set or Cricut cart released lately, has bears on it, so this set is addition to my sentiment stash.

Papers: PaperTrey Ink, Core'dinations, and Bella Blvd
Bear svg: Treasure Box Designs
Card Base: Artiste Cricut Cartridge
Bear Face: Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-140 Teddy Bear and Reindeer Face Parts
Tag & Sentiment: My Creative Time, Beary Special Thoughts and Tag Dies
Twine: The Twinery

Here's my video tutorial.
Please excuse what a mess I am in this video. I sprained my wrist the day before and I had a really bad cold. Plus everything kept slipping because of the heat proof mat, but you get the concept. :)

Hello There

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? I ran around like a crazy person, all weekend, trying to get stuff checked off of my never ending "to do "list. Somehow, once again, several deadlines are sneaking up on me. How does that happen, when I am so on top of things? Ha!

I have a fun shaped card for you today.

I made this card for the My Creative Time's Designer Challenge. The challenge is to make a card with googly eyes.  Click the link above to find out more and play along.

3-D Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

Today is 3-D Wednesday on the My Creative Time blog. Emma asked us to create something that would display a photo, so a desktop stand or frame, or magnet frame for the fridge.

I made a mouse trap picture holder. I found the idea for this project here, but I changed it up a bit.

Really fun, right!?!
Gotta love Sigmond too! (Sigmond is the bat.)

I found the mouse traps at the $1 store. There are four traps in each bag.

I removed all the hardware, it's not to hard. Just make sure you leave the two middle loopy pieces, that hold the spring in place.

Once all the hardware was removed, I painted the edges and the backside black. Then I decopodged pattern paper to the front. I sanded the edges and inked, with black ink, all the way around.  Lastly, put just the arm and springs back on.

Then decorate the bottom and add some magnets to the back. I used my glue gun to make sure they were attached securely.

Then just add your photo!

Cutest Pumpkin!

Happy Monday

How was your weekend? Mine was hot and busy. The weather here in southern California as been crazy hot the last month or so. I am so ready for the cooler fall weather. While I was hiding inside, in the air conditioning, I was able to get some cleaning and organizing done. I also was able to work on some projects for my blog.

I found some cute 6 x 6 Halloween paper at Mike's a couple weeks ago. I love using the smaller patterns for cards.  

I love this little pumpkin svg. He's so cute! I thought he would look so fun on a card.

My Creative Time's Mini Release Sneak Peaks - Day 2

Happy Thursday!

Today is day two of My Creative Time's mini release sneak peak's.

I made a fun and easy Christmas favor or gift. Have you ever made "Snowman Soup"? It's kinda like smore's, a "must do" for everyone at least once! 

 

The test tube has hot chocolate, candy cane pieces, and marshmallows layered inside. The back of the tag, say's "Just add 6oz of water". You pour it into a cupp with some hot water and give it a good stir. Lots of fun for kids. Most of the "big kids"I now, like it too.

 The test tubes are from here. I bought the red ribbon from Liz's Paper Boutique and the paper is from PaperTrey Ink and My Mind's Eye.

The sentiment is from the new set called "All Around Goodies".
