My Cricut Craft Room Letter of the Day - F

Today the Letter of the Day at My Cricut Craft Room is "F".


My project is a "F"airy card using Once Upon a Princess Cricut Cartridge.

My card base is 5.75 x 5.75 inches using purple American Crafts cardstock.  My image is from Some Odd Girl, colored with copic markers and cut out with oval nestabilities.

The sentiment came from Once Upon A Princess cricut cartridge cut at 3 inches.  I "stitched" around the star using a white gel pen.  I used start dust stickles to bling up the star on top of the "i".

Be sure to visit My Cricut Craft room for more projects of the day.

Have an awesome day!
Sheila

Card Day Tuesday-- Valentine Card

Today's theme at My Cricut Craft Room is Valentine's.

I made a 5.75 x 5.75 inch card using American Crafts cardstock as my base and as my green mat on the pattern paper.  The pattern paper is gorgeous.  I've always loved this Love paper.  My image is from Some Odd Girl's January clear stamp set release.  I used copic markers to color her.

My heart border came from Lyrical Letters and I cut it at 2.54 inches (I used my gypsy to get the correct sizing.).  I added the white dashes around every other heart with a white gel pen.  I used my sewing machine to stitch around the entire card.

Be sure to check out all the projects being posted today at My Cricut Craft Room.

Have an awesome day!
Sheila

My Cricut Craft Room- Letter E

It's Letter "E" day at My Cricut Craft Room. Our projects need to start with an "E" in some form.

My project is an "E"lf card!

I'm LOVING my Elf card!  It's the first time I've made this little guy and I adore him.  He is from the Jolly Holidays Cricut Cartridge.  I used my gypsy to design this card.  The Elf is cut at 4.5 inches.  I hid the face contours and used Peachy Keen Wide Eyed Kid faces for the face.  I colored in the white of his eyes with a gel pen.  I also used my copic E00 skin white marker to color in his face and hands.  My card is 6x6 in size.  I used a border punch along the bottom of my strip of green pattern paper.  The sentiment is from Some Odd Girl Christmas stamp set.

Be sure to check My Cricut Craft Room blog for more samples of today's project.

Have an awesome day!
Sheila

Some Odd Girl Gift Bag

This past Saturday was my monthly craft group day!  We did a secret elf exchange....was tons of fun!  I recommend elfster.com if you're having a secret gift exchange of any kind.

I decided to decorate my gift bag with a Some Odd Girl digi.  I made the digi fill my 8.5 x 11 page and then colored with copic markers. The background paper is from a DCWV holiday paper pack.  I made the rosettes by hand, something I recently learned how to do.

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day.
Sheila

Some Odd Girl- Dancin Mae

I'm so happy with how this card turned out that I'm actually going to enter it into SOG Guest Challenge!

The card itself is 6x6.  I printed Dancin Mae at 3.75 inches and colored her with copic markers and a little bit of glitter gel pens.  My Christmas tree is from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge and cut at 5 inches.  I used colored brads as my ornaments.  The star on top is golden rod stickles (and slightly wet still when I took this picture!  I know that because *it* accidentally touched me and I got wet glitter all over me.)  My background paper is from an old Christmas DCWV stack that I'm almost finished with.  The sentiment was made on my computer.  Notice I left off the "g" off in rockin' to match with dancin Mae! ;)  Think Kristy will give me bonus points for that?? LOL

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day!

Crafty Contagion Pumpkin Challenge

It's the 4th Saturday of the month and that means it's time for a new challenge at  Crafty Contagion!  Our challenge is pumpkin....pumpkin color, actual pumpkins, etc.  Anything goes as long as it's pumpkin.

I am EXTREMELY excited about my card!  I was sitting at work one day when I had this idea for a fall card.  I drive by a pumpkin patch three times a week and lately every day the pumpkins are getting bigger and bigger.

I used a variety of items on my card.  The stamp is from Some Odd Girl.  She's colored with copic markers and hand cut.  I *love* how her hair turned out!

The pumpkins are from a cricut cartridge Gypsy Wanderings.  I used the border function, used two different orange colors of cardstock to alternate my cuts.  I added diamond stickles to the pumpkins for some bling.  The pumpkins are layered on top of each other.

The grass is an A* Muse Studio die cut, I layered it with two different colors to get that look.

The background paper came from a DCWV fall stack from a year or two back.  I used my sewing machine for the zig zag stitch around the edge of the card.

I'm going to send this card to my Grandma with a happy fall/thinking of you message on the inside.

Now it's your turn to come play along!  Show us what comes to your mind when you think of pumpkin.

Have a great weekend!
Sheila

Like Cupcakes??

Stamp is from Some Odd Girl.

Stamp is from Kraftin Kimmie....and happens to be my favorite snarky girl stamp!

Have a great day!

Flutter By Wednesday Challenge-- Bu'Fly Tia

I have 18 minutes left to get my entry in for this weeks Flutter By Wednesday Challenge that I promised my friend Danni I would participate in this week!  Wooo hooooo, I do believe I'm gonna make it.

This is Bu'Fly Tia from Some Odd Girl.  I paired her with a sentiment from a Princess stamp set I got a Michaels a while back.  Tia is colored with copics and cut with nestabilities.  She is going to Operation Write Home for some lucky little girl to get from her daddy!

Thanks for looking.  Have an awesome day!
