Halloween Match Boxes

EEK!!  I just love the SVG Cutting Files Match box (long) file! It's super easy to cut out and put together.  So far I have created two different looks with the matchbox.  Of course I had to use my Jaded Blossom Stamps & Dies!

For my 1st matchbox I used the Jaded Blossom Halloween Dies for the bats, spider, and web.  The trick or treat came from a die I purchased at a local scrapbooking store.  I used stone twine (The Twinery) to connect the spider to its web.

On my second box, I used a grass file from the cricut store and cut it the length of the box.  The ghosts are cut from the Halloween dies and their faces are from the new Spidey Senses.  The orange sign is from the card mat dies and the Happy Halloween is from the Halloween Poop stamp set.  

I just love how both of them turned out!!

I'm entering this in the following challenges:

1) SVG Cutting Files- Anything Fall Challenge

2) Jaded Blossom- Fall Colors

3) PDE Linky Party- 3D Projects

Hello Kitty Halloween Treat Bag

Halloween is just around the corner so I thought I'd try my hand at creating some Halloween treats.  After paper piecing all of C's superman birthday invites and then utilizing the print & cut feature on my Cricut Explore, I decided to just use the print & cut as it was so much easier and less time consuming!  Besides once Halloween is over, the treat bag will end up in the trash anyway! I was finally able to use my Jaded Blossom Label Dies and just love how it turned out!!  The Hello Kitty Witch came from a previous SVG Cutting Files blog hop and is not longer available. I also used the goody bag die and halloween candies stamps from Jaded Blossom.

The goody bag still needs something in the top left corner, I just don't know what.  If you have a suggestion, please share!!

Bronco Card

I had so much fun using the print and cut feature of my cricut explore on these cards!!  My Jaded Blossom dies make it so easy to make fun cards!  I used the card mat dies, good bag die and Supersized Birthday Greetings.

Sofia the First Cards

Phew!  What a busy week being back at work!!  I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to made some birthday and thank you cards the weekend.  I used quite a few Jaded Blossom dies on both of my cards.

First up is a birthday invite.  I started with a card base that I purchased from Hobby Lobby with the intention of adding a card mat die.  As I was putting it together, I realized the card base was not the correct size which resulted in me using the border dies on each side of the card.  I also used the scalloped circle and the stitched circle.  For Sofia, I decided to give the print & cut feature of my cricut explore a try.  (After this first try, I think I'm in love with this feature!!)

For my second project I created a thank you card.  For this one I decided to create my own card base by printing the thank you statement with my printer and then cutting the paper in the dimensions of an A2 card.  The design layout came from a Stamp Annie Thing blog post.  I again used the print & cut feature to cut out Sofia.  I again used the card mat die, as well as the mat for the goodie bag die, and the fancy topper die.

Music Birthday Card

I'm glad I participated in the Jaded Blossom  Sale as I was able to get some amazing products!!  I was able to make my sister's birthday card using only stamps and dies from Jaded Blossom.  Although I know I have some work  to do on my creativity, I enjoyed making it!  (And that's what matters right?!?!)

For the cover, I used the card mat die, scalloped circle die, stitched circle die, and the dimensional banner die.  I also stamped a white paper with the tape from music to my ears.  This was my first coloring project with copic markers.  All things considered, I think it turned out well! Since I have such a small collection of markers, I had to use a brown (E79) along with the colorless blender for the tape base instead of a gray shade.  I also used RV19, RV14, BG 57 and EV51.

On the inside of the card I cut another card mat and used the gift card die.  (Note to self, the card with fit horizontally and look better.) The sentiment also came from the music to my ears stamps.

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love to hear your thoughts on making this card better as I'm still new to the idea of making cards.  :)

Superman Lego Card

As my monster's birthday is fast approaching, I decided to craft his birthday invitations this year instead of purchasing them.  As a result, he will be having a superhero lego party.  I was able to participate in the SVG Cutting Files Charity Blog hop and obtain the Lego Hop Package.  I used the Superman file on the invite along with a card mat die from Jaded Blossom.  I found the speech bubble on the Cricut Design space.  "Party!" is a part of the Jaded Blossom Supersized Birthday Greetings.  Because I was making 15 cards, I decided to use my cricut explore to cut out all of the circles.  I discovered they blended in with the base so I edged them with a black marker in order to give it depth.  (or so I hope!)  My intentions are to use the batman file for the thank you notes.  Considering how long it took me to put the invites together, I'm not sure if I'm up for the challenge or not!!

I will be entering the invite into my 1st Challenges over at SVG Cutting Files June Challenge : All About the Boys and Jaded Blossom July Monthly Challenge.  Wish me Luck!! ;) And thanks for stopping by!

Happy 4th of July

My box of goodies (stamps / dies) arrived from Jaded Blossom today so of course I had to take a break from cleaning and make a 4th of July goody for my monster!  I used the Goody Bag die, Mini Tag Dies 2, Star Dies, and the Celebrate America stamp to create my project.  I do wish I had the Patriotic Candies Stamps to complete this project.  (Good thing there's always next year!)
