Pucker UP!

These are a couple plates I made for my pot shelf in my kitchen. I have a citrus theme going and when I saw these brightly colored plates at the Dollar Tree I knew I wanted to add some vinyl to them. I used Just Because Cards and cut the pucker up at 2.75 and the lemons at 2. When I first stuck the lemons on they got lost in the orange so I cut them again in white and then stuck the yellow over that and pieced on the green stem.

 For this one I cut the when life gives you lemons... at 4-1/4 and these lemons at 1-1/2. And again with the word "lemons..." I had to cut it twice once on white and once on yellow and layer it so it would pop more. I got lazy with the lemons here and only cut them out of yellow vinyl. Thanks for stopping by today!

Jenny's Big 3-0H! Birthday Blog Hop

 Hello everyone, welcome to Jenny's birthday blog hop. I am so excited she allowed me to be apart of her big day, THANKS Jenny I hope you have the best birthday ever and enjoy your thirties! :) If you arrived here from Kara's Sweet Creations then your in the right place. If you just happened to come across my blog and want to start from the beginning then click HERE. There are some great prizes to win so you should definitely hop along and check out everyone's blogs :)

For my project I decided to go with the big 3-0H theme! All Jenny asked was for us to use 3 colors and some bling. I knew I wanted a cupcake so I picked up Once Upon A Princess and used the one on there, cutting it at 3-1/2 inches. I added some bling for the sprinkles and some course glitter to make it look like sanding sugar. I also tied some Honeydew Twine around the bottom of the cupcake and adhered the cupcake liner with pop dots. The word "happy" is from Just Because Cards cut at 4 inches. I sent that through my Xyron upside down and then added glitter to the top. The "3" and "0" are from Sweet Treats cut at 1-1/2, I did the same thing with the glitter to the top of those and also the "H" that was cut from Cricut Classic font at 1-1/4. Paper is all from DCWV Sweets stack and other DCWV that I've had.

Teacher Appreciation cards!

What can 24 sheets of double sided paper, 2 boxes of pre-made cards with envelopes, some ribbon, a little tape and some foam squares get you......?????70 cards for Teacher Appreciation week!

I was so proud of myself! I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I tested myself on limited supplies and this is what I came up with. I used Just Because Cards for the shape the "thanks" is on, then I got out Opposites Attract and cut the "thanks" at 1-1/2, I added some ribbon with my stapler and rounded the bottom corners of all the card bases and the base pattern paper, then I popped that up with a couple foam squares and VOILA they were complete! :)

Good Luck- graduation card

I made this really quick the other day. I wanted to try out my new "Just Because Cards" cartridge so I just turned to the first page and made what was there. I didnt want the saying that comes with this so I used Opposites Attract for the words and welded them together with my Gypsy, they are 1-3/4. The car and card are cut at 3-1/2 and the scroll is from a Studio G stamp I cut out and pop dotted on, I also added some brads on the tires and pop dotted it on as well. Thanks for stopping by today!

Thank EWE ~ using Just Because Cards

This was a super quick and easy card I made entirely on the Cricut. I just got this cart. Wed. and had been dying to use it, last night I finally got to sit down for a minute and put this together. The bigger one is cut at 5-1/2 and the smaller is cut at 4-1/4. I didn't know how it was going to cut so I did the smaller one first and then tried the bigger one, the big one will fit in an A2 envelope! This uses Sonburn cardstock I got at Sam's Club about 2 years ago, the white is DCWV embossed then I inked it with grey wool from CTMH, yellow is also DCWV, black is Mark's Finest papers. I do have to say that I messed up on the words and they are both cut at 4-1/4. I love that you don't have to change the size on this cart. I cut everything at one size and it all fit the card just how it was supposed to.
