I made this card using the BRAND NEW Create a Critter 2 Cricut Cartridge.
This was so cute. This is from page 29, the penguin was cut at 4" (the size I cut all of my characters, that way I never have to try to remember what size it was...)


I used some Bo Bunny Double Dot paper in Pink Punch and the
purple was Best Creation Team Spirit paper.




I do want to warn you about this cartridge the main image and the layer are proportional.... I thought that the Icon and Icon Layer and Accessories would also be proportional....
THEY ARE NOT.... So I had to cute those items at 2"




In purple below was cut at 4" and the pink ones were cut at 2"








Here is a familar face from the originla Create a Critter.
If you don't "dress him up" he would look just like the original guy....

I am only showing 3 projects today.... Tomorrow I have 17 projects to show you!!!!



I used the New Imaginisce Monster Mash Paper collection for this project...
As well as the NEW Trick or Treat Cricut Cartridge.... I cut the title at 2 1/4"
Everything else was just traced and cut to fit. The circle in the middle, I will show you how to make that tonight on Ustream 9:30pm EST
I will also be showing Pretty Fall Leaves from paper.
















This is too cute! Bella picked this out for $1 at Michaels.
I took it home covered it in matching papers, but the sensor on the left was covered up, so I cut a few punches and it didn't work so I had to cut more and larger ones. I thought this would be a cute game for Bella to hid them, they either have this sticker in it OR Candy, truly Trick or Treat!





I have to share this one, I was brightening the pictures in Photo Shop and I hit something wrong.... but look how cute it transformed to colors!!!





I used the Simple Stories Happy Harvest paper collection. I cut my papers to size and then decorated with the sticker sheet and added some Star Dust stickles and pop dots and Presto! A FAST and easy project.















I used the Best Creation Merry Christmas Paper to make this. It was made with the 12x12 set. I just cut my papers to size and used the sticker sheet for the rest and Holly Stickles for decorations!

I decided it was fall in my garden.

I used the Cricut Artiste cartridge to make this explosion box.

I did the fit to page and it came out to be 5 1/2" 90% of the leaves were made with Artiste, I also used the new Tablescapes Fall & Winter cartridge. I just cut various leaves out at sizes from

1" 1 1/2" 2" 2 1/2" 3" 3 1/2"


I used the Bo Bunny Apple Cider paper collection. I used one set of the Jewels, the dimensional sticker sheet. I bought the set of decorative brads but I did not use them.
I used 12 sheets of paper to make this. 2 cream, 2 yellow, 1 brown glitter sheet, 1 orange glitter sheet, and 6 of the Bo Bunny papers.

I used Star Dust Stickles, Cinnamon stickles, Hot Chocolate Liquid Pearls, Bisque Liquid pearls.
Zing gold metallic embossing powder, Antique Gold embossing powder, I used one pack of larger foam squares and one package of smaller foam squares. Some chunky Martha Stewart glitter in gold and orange. I used Tattered Leather Tattered Angel's glimmer mist.
I also used several gel pens

I will be selling this as a kit. You will get all of the peices cut out and the Stickles, liquid pearls and a small amount of the embossing powders. 2 Packages of foam squares, A small amount of the chunky glitter, 4 dew drop inks. You can pick to have the leaves embellished or not. This kit will be $25 plus shipping. You will be able to order this later in the week and it will ship out on Monday August 27, 2012. This is a first come first serve set, I will not be getting more in. Each week I will show a project and sell the kit and extra papers and embellishments for one collection of papers. Every Saturday I will post that week's project, then that evening on Ustream I will show you how to make it. Once you buy one kit you are then on the list to get the preview on the Friday before the project is posted. You can then order earlier than everyone else. If you have not ordered a kit before you can buy it Saturday night. There will be a limited number of kits each week. I will also carry the extras to match. But once its gone its gone.


Because this is the first kit, I have no idea how many to order. So they will be pre-sale now and will be ordered on August 27 and shipped on August 30.

On August 25th I will show a new kit and that night will be the class on Ustream for it. You do not have to buy the kit to watch the Ustream, it is open to all. Pre-sale will be Friday night and open to all to buy will be Saturday August 25.




I hand cut this girl from one sheet of paper. I then added Star Dust stickles to her hair, shirt, vest and boots.



Here is the top, the girl here was from the demintional sticker sheet



Here is the top view of the base of the box.





This bushel was so much fun to make. I used dementionla dots to make the leaves 3-D




Here is the box opened up




I cut out all of my leaves and I leave them on the cutting mat to embellish them with ink, it creates a lot less mess.






I aded Liquid pearls to the glitter leaves.






Here is the fun and messy part. I stamped in brown first then I inked some of the edges, then I prayed the tattered angels and intentionally let it spray large 'splatters' I also used Shimmer Mist in gold and sparkle.




Here are my leaves after I took of the excess paper.







I used Gold ink to stamps this design for the base.





Here are all of my leaves decorated.
I will be showing how to make them ALL on Ustream on August 25








Here is a close up of the inked and then glitter embossing on the paper.






I used several gel pens to outline the edges of the colors here on the paper.






Here is a little "tag" that I made for one of the sides.







Here is a close up of the girl on the inside. I cut her out by hand and then put the embellished leaves behind her.








Have you ever had trouble with adhesive sticking to glitter paper???
Just cut out a little hole on the back for the foam dots to go through, you do this from the bottom so the adhesive stick to the back of your top layer and the glitter paper fits around the adhesive.







Here you can see that I traced all of the lines on this paper to give it a richer look. YES it took FOREVER to do it. But so much fun!






Here you can see the tracing when just a little bit of it is done


Here is the little dome covered in adhesive to stick the leaves to. I used eyelets and brads to keep it attached to the lid.
