Valentine Heart Wreath

  

Valentine Heart Wreath

I bought this wreath at Walmart. I decide to add my favorite bear cut to it to decorate it.
It was a really super fast and easy project to make.

Supplies:

Cricut Digital Download - Valentine Sweets - Bear Cut at 4"

3D Valentine Mailbox

  
3D Valentine Mailbox

I purchased a couple of digital downloads for Cricut Craft Room 3D Valentine Boxes and Valentine Sweets.I have been wanting to make mailboxes for so long. Every where I looked the tin mailboxes were sold out.  I went ahead and tried the 3D Valentine Boxes from Cricut.com. The bear on Valentine Sweets is just so adorable and I really like the mailbox too.

Supplies:

Cricut Digital Download:

3D Valentine Boxes - For the mailbox: Cut at 6" -  

Valentines Mail: Cut at 3.917 x 1.597

Digital Download:

Valentine Sweets - For the Bear: Cut at 4"

 Love - Cut at 1.972 x 0.972

Close To My Heart Cricut Art Philosophy - for the label behind Valentines mail : Cut at 5.944 x 2.361

Finished Size -  5-1/2" L - 4-1/2" H - Door Opening is 2-1/2" W - 4" H

I made this box with some alterations of the image.

I welded the 2 sides and top of the mailbox together in Cricut Craft Room. Making it one piece. I found it much easier to work with the top of the mailbox by doing it this way.

I cut all the pieces out in chipboard first. Then I cut all the pieces out with pattern paper.

On the pattern paper cuts, I cut off the tabs. Then I adhered the pieces(not the tabs) to the chipboard.

I used terrifically tacky tape to hold it together. I tried other adhesives and terrifically tacky tape worked the best.

I took 2 strips of pattern paper and applied them to the two end seams of the mailbox for a more finished look.

Cricut Cartridge Storage Solution

I have my Cartridges and handbooks organized. It has taken me a full week to do this whole operation.  I modified the way I was storing the handbooks because I have lack of space to keep them in.

I have my cartridges in these bead boxes.

I like my cartridges separate from my handbooks because many times I just need the cartridge.

I made file folders and labels and alphabetized the handbooks in these crates.

I decided to store the handbooks on end at the end of my scrap table.

I bought these crates at Walmart. They are the DVD crates.

When the table skirt is closed you don't even notice they are there.

That was what I was trying to achieve.

I didn't want these DVD crates noticeable or on my table.

Imagine - Design - Create - Inspire Project . I am entering it in the Circle Magazine Contest.

I cut my letters using Tie The Knot and Blackletter cartridges.I designed my cuts in Cricut Craftroom and cut with my Cricut Mini. I cut my butterflies with the Sophie Cartridge. I modge podged my pattern paper to the back of the frame. I arranged my design and embellished with pearls and floral accents.
 
 

Craft Table Skirts - The Easy Way

 I made 2 craft table skirts today and it is very easy to do. I first picked up some Kitchen curtains, hooks and curtain rods. They were 36" long so I had to hem them up to fit my tables 30" high.  I'm not really a sewer but I can do some basics. This was just a straight stitch across. I folded the fabric from the top 2 times where the rod pockets are since I couldn't hem the from the bottom. I sewed at the edge of the fabric keeping the rod pockets in tack so I could still use them. I drilled holes in my table and screwed in the hooks. I attached the rods and slide on the curtains.  Easy, Easy! I was surprised it really didn't take all that long.

Hope Card

 Supplies:

Tim Holtz - Sizzix Snowman die Tim Holtz 
- Pine tree die Tim Holtz 
- Hope movers and shapers die Tim Holtz - snowflake border die Liquid applique 
- Pine Trees

I put Liquid applique on the pine trees then took my heat tool and puffed it up like snow.

The flowers I took a 1-3/4" and a 1-1/4" circle punch and hand cut it into a spiral.

Then rolled up the flowers.

Wood Spool Christmas Tree Ornament

This project was made by me and my 3 yr. old granddaughter.
This is my granddaughter's gift for her mother.
My granddaughter glued the decorative paper onto the spools.
She then glued the spools together with glossy accents.
The decorations on the tree are mini pom poms
I did the cutting of paper and hot gluing the ribbon, holly,felt skirt and presents under the tree.
I like it so much I think I'm going to make some for myself. 

It fit perfectly in an empty cartridge box for wrapping.
