12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 1

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Theresa's blog.  You can start the hop from the beginning at Lisa's blog.



It's day 1 of 12 fabulous days of holiday projects.  I made a Snowman Wreath for my Grandma.

I used three different shades of blue felt and white felt.  I cut my felt into 2 inch squares, folded each square from corner to corner and then pinned into my foam wreath.

I used Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge to make my snowmen.  This one is cut at 4.06 inches.  I hid the face cuts using my gypsy, and stamped the face with Peachy Keen's Happy New Year 1 1/8 inch face stamps.  I doodled with a white and black gel pen.  I used a copic W-1 marker to outline the face stamp.  This snowman has been into the spiked hot apple cider!

This snowman is cut at 3.71 inches.  I used a white gel pen on the mittens, scarf and earmuffs.  The stamp is a PK Snowmany Faces, 1 1/8inch.  I used W1 copic and a pink copic (oops, didn't write it down!) for the rosy cheeks.

This snowman is cut at 4.53 inches.  White gel pen used on the hat and mittens.  PK Snowmany Faces stamp, W1 copic and pink copic for the cheeks.

The snowflake is from the Cricut Cartridge "Christmas".  It's cut at 3.71 inches.  I cut the shadow and the main cut.  Then I flipped the snowflake (using my gypsy) and cut the reverse.  My snowflake is now 2 sided. I used blue and white twine to hang my snowflake from the top of the wreath.  In the center of the snowflake, I put a clear jewel.  I also inked the edges a bit in blue ink.

Up next is Jillian!  

See you tomorrow with another new Holiday 2012 project!  Have an awesome day.

Theme Day Thursday- Peachy Keen Theme

Today is Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room and the theme is one of my favorites, Peachy Keen!

I used Mini Monsters to make a couple of birthday cards.

I cut both of these Mini Monsters at 3 inches.  I used Peachy Keen Monster Face assortment for their faces.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from A|Muse Studio.

Be sure to check out My Cricut Craft Room blog for more projects.

Have an awesome day!

Theme Thursday- Winter/sports Activity

Welcome to Theme Day Thursday!  Today's theme is Winter/Sports Activity.  I chose winter, and what's more winter than a snowman??

My card base is 5.75 x 5.75, I used American Crafts Cardstock.  My snowman is from Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge, page 29.  I cut the snowman at 4 inches, I used the shadow feature as well as the initial cut.  I used Peachy Keen Snowmany Faces and colored the "carrot" with an orange gel pen.  The sentiment is from TPC Studio and it's popped up with foam tape.

Be sure to check My Cricut Craft Room for more projects.

Have an awesome day!

Today's theme is Snow.  I am showing a project using Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is my project..

This card is 5.75 x 5.75 inches.  I started with a blue cardstock base.  I added a red mat to my blue snowflake paper.  The snow angel and the winter fun sentiment are from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge.  I cut the sentiment at 2 inches and the snow angel at 3 inches.  I used 1/2 inch wide eyed kids face from Peachy Keen for the facial features.  I sewed around the entire card in a zig zag pattern.  I embossed the white cardstock with cuttlebug swirl pattern, tore and inked the edges and stacked them on each other.  My attempt to make it look like snow.  :)

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day.

Today's 25 days of Christmas project theme is Animals.  I am showing you two different projects.  A card and a food items.

Here are my projects....

This is a 6x6 card.  I used dark blue cardstock for the base, a green cardstock matting my pattern paper.  The dog house and the dog are cuts from Every Day Paper Dolls.  The house is cut at 4 inches and embellished with stickles.  The dog is cut at 2.5 inches, Peachy Keen Critter Stamp and embellished with stickles.  The Christmas lights are from Create A Critter and cut at 1 inch.  I made the Yappy Howlidays sentiment on my computer.




My second project of the day are homemade dog treats!

I made these treats using oil, water, peanut butter, wheat flour and oats.  *My dogs LOVE these!*


Since I am giving these treats away as gifts, I made a tag to go with them.

The Wag-O-Meter comes from Paper Pups and is cut at 1.75 inches.  I used stickles to make the centers of the a, g, o and e's.  I used pop dots to raise up the arrow.  The dog face is from the Cricut Cartridge Doodlecharms and is cut at 2 inches, decorated with stickles.  I used clear acrylic stones to make the paw print.

  
My package turned out great!  I used paw print bags, and stapled my tag in the middle.  Here's a look at the whole lot:

Stinkin' cute!!  Hope you enjoyed my projects!  


Have an awesome day,
Sheila

25 Days of Christmas- Sports

25 Days of Christmas,

with 25 Cricut projects a day.

and every day in December.

http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

Today's 25 days of Christmas project theme is Sports.  I am showing you a project using Peachy Keen Stamps.

Here is my project....

I started with making a Paper Doll from Everyday Paper Dolls, cut at 4 inches.  I used my gypsy to hid the facial cuts.  I made her face using Peachy Keen 1 inch basic Paper Doll Assortment.  All of the papers are American Crafts Cardstock.  I used a white gel pen on her shoes and innertube, a black gel pen on her hat and scarf.  I colored in her skin with a copic marker.

I used Spellbinders Creative Book Pages for the Grand Caliber to cut out my purple, gray and patern paper backgrounds.  The white cardstock is embossed with the snowflake cuttlebug folder.  I hand wrote in a white gel pen in the bottom left corner of the gray cardstock "winter 2009".  

I placed my creation onto a 12x12 piece of pattern paper.

Framed my project.  I'm planning on adding in some snowflakes onto the frame in the near future.

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day!

I (heart) 2 Bake-- Everyday Paper Dolls

I simply love Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge.  Every time I make a new character I think it turns out better and better.  This one is just too cute!!  My paper doll is cut at 3.5 inches. The face is from a Peachy Keen Stamp.  The solid yellow is embossed with the cuttlebug.  I sewed around the polka dotted pattern paper.  The I (heart) 2 Bake stamp and the Kiss the Cook stamp are from a set I got at Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for looking.  Have an awesome day!
