Cricut Christmas Swapertunity-Christmas or Winter Sweets Recipe Box

I would like to Thank my cricut sister Jasper for the nice recipe box that I received last week. Our cricut swap was Christmas themed and we also made recipe cards to go with them. I have not receiped the recipe cards yet but will post the pictures later. Here are the pictures of the recipe box that I received.

Great Uncle Ernie's 92nd Birthday Card

Here is Uncle Ernie's 92nd Birthday Card!  I used Every Day Pop-Up Cards for the tractor.  I used Every Day Paper Dolls for the Sun and Clouds.  I inked the blue background, grass, clouds. sun and party banner with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Vintage Photo.  I used Martha Stewart fringe scissors to make the grass.  I added the Martha Stewart Party banner to the tractor.  The tractor was double pop dotted to go over the folded down grass.  To the front of the card I also added the wobbler mushroom and ladybug from Martha Stewart Gnomes and Woodland Stickers.On the inside of the card I added the tractor pop-up.  This was a much easier pop-up than the elephant was.  Only took a minute to figure out the pop up.  Thanks for stopping by and have a good day!  E

College Graduation Card for DSD

Since my DSD is a music major, I used black music paper from The Paper Studio and layered with white music note paper from Scrappin Sports and More.  I also added music note embellishments-I think Jolee's.
I cut a 3 1/2" black square and added a brad in the center with the Jolee's white tassel which I trimmed to fit the card.  I stamped Congratuations Graduate and added a black 1/4" background to it.  I added red flowers from Jolee also.  The card needed some color.   

And Here is the Graduate of the Music School below in front of the infamous college fountain.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you liked my card.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013-July



Above is Tim's tag for July.

Here is my tag.  Loved using the distress crackle paint.  I did not have Tim's flag die so I used a die cut from the Stand and Salute cartridge.  The stars are from the Teresa Collins cartridge-Sophisticated. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013-June

Above is Tim's tag for June.  Love the watercoloring technique with the distress pens. 

Here is my tag.  I didn't have Tim's dragonfly stamp so I used my InkaDinkaDoo stamp.  This stamp is so cool with the 3 bird designs inside of it. The rest of the stamps are Tim's except for the clock hands going down the left side of the tag.    Next time I will use less paint on the tag and more ink and stain.  My china blue paint kind of took over and it was watered down.  Well live and learn.  I do like the blue color though.  Looking forward to the July tag!

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013-March

Hi Everyone and Happy Easter!  Wow it is a nice day today and in the 50's.  No flowers in my garden for Easter which is a first.  No Daffodils or Hyacinths yet. It has been too cold I guess.  But the Easter bunny has been to my house and left lots of chocolate and of course peeps!  I also found a few crafting supplies in my easter basket.  Yeah! 

Onto the tag.  Here is Tim's Tag:

Here is my tag:

I had all of the supplies except the stamp, the grass and banner die cuts.  I used an easter stamp I had.  For the grass I used my Cricut and Paper Doll Dress up cartridge.  For the banner I used my Cricut again and used the cartridge Artiste.  I did not have the distress paint either so I used Americana acrylic paints.  I enjoyed painting the metal flowers.  I will definately paint metal again on other projects. 

I made a tag for my Mom since she is crazy for Tim Holtz!  I put Mom's tag on her Easter goodie bag below.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Easter!
