Zoo Layouts

Zoo Layouts

I made some layouts of our trip to a zoo. There are too many layouts to share all the directions too. I made the path going through the park so when you line up all 16 layouts that the path continues on from page to page. It looks really neat once you lay them out to see the full spread.

Supplies:

Cricut Cartridge - Animal Kingdom - goat, turtle, Dog

Cricut Cartridge - Easter 2010 - Bunny Cricut Digital Download - Monkey that I print and cut with the Imagine. Jolee's stickers - Peacock
Silhouette Cameo - ram and mountain goat
Cricut Cartridge - Create a Critter - grass and trees
Cricut Cartridge - Designer Calendar to weld a Calendar grid for the fencing.
Squares from the walking path are from the center of the fencing.



5" x 7" Embossing Folder Storage with matching Border

I recently got some of the Anna Griffin embossing folders and cricut embossing folders.
Some of these have matching borders to go with the 5"x7" folder.

I purchase several Really Useful Boxes 3L capacity. They work perfectly for storing these embossing folders. I created folder files in Cricut Craftroom design software. I used From my kitchen cartridge.

 

 

 

 

For the cuttlebug companions I numbered each file folder to coordinate with the companion embossing folder sets.

 

 

 

 



 

For the Anna Griffin embossing folders I put the name of the folder on the file tab.

These folders have the names of the embossing folder right on the folder.

Then in the file folder divider I made a pocket in back to hold the coresponding border folder.

I store other Cricut embossing folders with matching borders this same way.

 

I absolutely love these Really Useful Boxes!!

 

Happy Crafting!

Monkey's and Puppies Layout

My Granddaughter went through a phase where she just loves Monkey's and Puppies.
She still does love them. But, when she was 2 she had such a fascination with them.
She would say ahhh Monkey's and Puppies all the time. So I made up a layout of her with her Monkey and puppies.
I love the cute monkey face she made. It is just so cute!!

Cartridges used: Create A Critter - Monkey 1.833" x 2.5" - Vine (welded)

New Cricut Circle Cartridge Charmed - Making Shrinky Dinks

I recently rejoined the Cricut Circle Group. This year's newest cartridge is called Charmed.
It is used with the new universal overlay. The handbook is a new 3-1/2"x3-1/2" size.(Sold Seperately)
The new box size is 3-3/4"x4" box.

This cartridge images are designed to make charms. I received my cartridge yesterday and couldn't wait to get started making Shrinky Dink Charms.  I love Halloween images so I made these 3 charms for Halloween to test everything out. I am so happy with the results!!

 

 

These charms were cut at 4".

I used Frosted Shrinky Dink Material

I colored the Spinder and Pumpkin with Sharpie Markers

I colored the Ghost with a white colored pencil.

 

They were all cut on the Imagine machine at 4" real dial size multi cut 3.

When I cut the shrinky dink material I put the side you color face down on the mat.

 

I heated the oven to 350 degrees. I placed them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

I didn't time it. I just waited for them to shrink and then flatten out again.

Then removed from oven. It probably took a minute or two.

They finished out at:

Pumpkin - 2" wide - 1-1/2 Long

Spider - 2-1/8" Wide - 1-3/4" Long
Ghost - 1-1/2" Long - 3/4" wide (hand to hand)

 

I can't wait to make more charms with my Granddaughter!! I had to test it out first though.

Everything went perfectly!!

 

 

This is the packaging from the Shrinky Dink Material.

 

 

 

 

Happy Crafting!!

A Mother's Day Card

National Scrapbook Day - A Mother's Day Card

Mother's Day Card

I've been getting in on some challenges for National Scrapbook Day. I have never made an easel card and thought that would be a good challenge for me. I made my mom's Mother's Day card for a challenge. It was so much easier then I thought it would be.

Supplies:

Cricut Cartridge - Close To My Heart Artiste - Banners and Shape.

Close To My Heart - Chantilly Paper Collection.

The card fold up to be a 5x5 card.

I added buttons for embellishment.



Teapot Plaques and Decorative Holders

Well I had to go back to the drawing board. My daughter liked the teapot plaque so much she asked me if I could do another one. Only flip the Teapot the oposite direction. I said I could do this.
Then she asked if she could have my decorative holder. I said I could make another one.
I'm just happy she liked them so much. I do have to admit 2 teapots are better then one.
I had my GD help me with the 2nd one. She really enjoyed painting the teapot plaque.
Here is my daughter's house warming present. 2 teapot plaques and a decorative holder.
I think these 3 pieces look good on stands too.  So now it is settled this is my daughter's house warming present!!!  She is very grateful and appreciative that I made these for her.

 

 

These decorative holders I made for myself. LOL

I'm keeping them for decorative Craft room storage!!

I'm might bling up the 2 side holders more. I just have decided yet.

I know sometimes when I post things on my blog.

I see things in a different light and make some changes.

So don't be surprised if you see me posting more about these pieces. LOL

 

 

 

Enjoy!!!!!
