Project Forty-One and Peachy Keen Challenge

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Ours was a quite one ... our last weekend with out kids. We have one more weekend visit this coming weekend. Then the following weekend we pick up for for good! We are really excited! We thought we would do something romantic a dinner or something, but the weather is not cooperating with us.

OK so this was supposed to be posted for Monday .... but I finally figured out how to do the video. Was working on editing it ... but the video is like 18 minutes LONG!! So now that I know what I am doing ... I am working on a video today that will be less than 10 minutes. So yes I will be doing the video with a timer next to me. I hope to get "control" of the video this week so I can start doing video clips. YEAH!!

Today's project is a Thank you card for the "Let's Face it Friday" challenge over at Peachykeen Stamps Challenge Blog. I just love their stamps, yes even though they are not Disney. But the faces stamps are so much fun. And you all know I love taking a Paper Doll and give it a "Disney" look. So here is my project Recipe is below!!

The whole thank you card!

Close up of the face!!

I took the white peach image then cut off the stem and leaf leaving only the peach.

Project Forty and a Throwback Thursday Challenge

Happy Friday Everyone!!

I am sorry I am running really late with my Friday project...just finished it

So sorry the pictures are not that great! Will work on for next time!

OK so for today's project it is a challenge over at My Creative Time

Emma is great she challenges us to use some of our older cartridges.

So for today's challenge was a viewer's choice. We got to pick our own cartridge, but the entry

had to have a Valentine's theme to it or a heart!

I am hoping my hubby doesn't read this one post because it is going to be my Valentine's card for him.

His favorite Disney Character of all time is Donald Duck. We even dressed up as Donald and Daisey Duck a few Halloween's ago.

So here is my card I made

My Love Card!

A close up of Donald and Daisey. I drew them using the Cri-Kits then colored with copics.

A view of the inside of the card with the sentiment

Recipe

Basics

OK Card paper is all Stampin Up

Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Very Vanilla and pattern paper is there's also.

A2 card 4.25 x 5.5 in Cherry Cobbler

Very Vanilla is 4.15 x 5.4

Pattern Paper is cut 4.05 x 5.3

Ribbon on corners is Stampin Up Cherry Cobbler.

Now I just brushed the edges of the pattern paper with basic Black Ink to make them stand out against the very vanilla base.

Heart

cartridge: Martha Stewart All Occasion Cakes

cut at 4.06

The heart has little circle around the edge, I hide them for this project in my Gypsy

I then used LaJolle Glue and Basic Black Glitter around the edges of the heart

Paper is from  Stampin Up

The Ducks

Cartridge: Mickey and Friends

cut at 3.03 inches

I used my Gypsy you can use Design Studio also.

On one layer I used the Cri-Kits to "draw" the image

With the eye open on layer 1 I opened another layer

used the blackout feature and lines the black out perfectly with the image on layer one.

So I loaded my mat with the Cri-Kit pen in placed. Cut the first layer which is really drawing the image with details. Then DO NOT REMOVE MAT go back to design. I took out the the pen holder and replaced the blade housing. Then I hit cut. This is the black out which will cut around the edge of your image.

I then just colored the image with copics, added a shadow. Then used pop dots, to add dimensions.

Thanks for looking!

Project Thirty-nine

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!

So for today's project I am using the Disney Dreams Come True Cartridge.

The reason I love the Disney cartridges is there are some really cute hidden gems in each one.

This card being one of those little gems.

One of our nieces turned 19 this week, so I made a card for her.

Something girly but not to babyish.

Before seeing the pictures I tried to show a few snaps of the Gypsy screen to give you an idea how I use my cri-kit pens to align the sentiment up for the inside of the card, the images are a little dark. Will try to take better pictures next time.

A cake shaped card.

This is a picture of layer one in my gypsy. I took the cake Shadow image copy and pasted it, then mirrored it and pushed the two images so part of the cakes were touching, then welded it. You must mirror the second image or the card will not line up right.

Picture three is the 2nd Layer. I keep the eye for layer one open, this way I can see the actual card to line up the words for my sentiment. One I cut layer one, DO NOT UNLOAD you mat, just take out your blade, replace it with the Cri-kits holder then cut layer two, which doesn't really cut it writes.

OK Recipe for the card

Basics

Shape card

cartridge: Disney Dreams Do Come True

Project Thirty-eight and MPS Challenge!

I am so nervous and excited as I make this post.

I woke up this morning to find out that Robyn over My Pink Stamper is having an open call for two new members for her Design Team!!

OK so many of you may not of known this but I had be given my Expression last Black Friday. I took it out of the box set it up ... cut 2 mickey heads and there is sat. It then proceeded to collect a lot of dust.

Then one day many months later, by chance I found a blog about Cricut called .... yes you got it .... My Pink Stamper.

Well I started watching all her videos old and new ... became a follower .... starting finding more blogs to follow ... and that night I created my first card. Well then Robyn started saying words like "Stampin Up" "ATG Gun" "Mono Adhesive" I had no clue what these things were. So I order an ATG Gun, went to Micheal's bought a few cartridges ... yes full price .... that was before I found the great online stores ...

I then googled "Stampin Up" found a local demonstrator near me ... who I so so love .... Karen you are the greatest.

A month later I started this great blog ... so all my great creating started with My Pink Stamper

OK so for the design challenge we have to use three colors Pink, Green and Brown.

So I thought how to I try out for this awesome opportunity while keeping my Disney Spirit .... well this card came to me ..... so I design in Gypsy ...starting making .... well then my phone rang with a call from my dear friend who loved DISNEY just as much as I do. She is going through some stuff .... so the card no has a ton of meaning as I am sending it to her tomorrow!!

Here is my entry Recipe is below pictures!
