Not knowing who had what carts I made one CHEESECAKE BOX WITH GEORGE and another CHEESECAKE BOX WITH PLANTIN SCHOOLBOOK. I have circles in the lids but as always feel free to put what you want in there! As you can see from the pics *Lacy was sweet enough to take pics to share* there is some bottom showing that way you can see the pretty paper there also. You can probably add some scallop to the lid edge if you wanted to. Just decorate it up ladies and enjoy! *SMILE*
I resized it to fit into a standard invitation envelope *keeping fingers crossed*. It might just be a nice card for any farmers of lovers of tractors! I didn't put a lot of detail into the body of the tractor that way there is room for a greeting. The red circles show where there is a cut out. The base of the card will show through the red circles so make sure you have a base color you like for the hubs of the tires, or you can just cut some circles of any color you want and put in there, let your creative juices flow!! There are 4 mats 1. card base, 2. tractor body, 3. steering wheel and tires and 4. exhaust pipe.
This first one is pretty simple but has room for quite a few pictures. I do like the colors. I used K & Company paper and embellies. I made two of the circles with lines for journaling.
I got the stickers at my LSS a couple of years ago and never knew what to use them for. But I think I found just the right LO for them. The title is ALWAYS REMEMBER TO - and the stickers say things like - imagine, inspire, create, dream, enjoy, etc. I think this one was the hardest to do because there was so much that was going through my mind while making this LO.
you", and has a double title as the I Love You stands out also. I heat embossed the 10 with copper powder. I used Walnut stain for the simple tags and also on the I LOVE YOU letters. I laid the tags with Herma Dotto removable adhesive so she can pull them off for writing.
Chelle posted a challenge for a card and I was able to make one for a MB member who is under the weather. The stamp is Rain or Shine made by My Favorite things. I got it at my LSS but you can check it out at MFTSTAMPS. I was stamping images for a stamped image swap I joined and thought I would make my sister a card since I was on a roll. Not so happy with it but knowing my sister she will think it is the best thing since sliced bread! LOL
Each set comes with several stamps in the theme and sentiments. I was able to get them for 40% off with a coupon I had. DEFINITELY worth the money in my opinion! HOWEVER, the ladies without heads kinda freak me out at first but now I love the whimsy of then not having heads! I really love them LOL.
I had asked about the Whisper's Ink Caddy set because my LSS has them and I was very intrigued by all the ink pads. I am really pleased with the quality of them!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SCRAPPER!! Let me tell ya gals, this woman is a hoot when she has taken her sleep medicine! And the best part...she won't even remember it the next morning!! ROTFLMAO
The regular RAINDROPS range in size as you can see from the picture. I might even use these on a LO! I think they would be cute as a border or just all over the LO base. Also I would probably shade them to add some dimension. After saving the screenshot I haven't been able to get Prince's song Purple Rain out of my head!! I so had that tape when I was in high school and listened to it so much! Man was that a long time ago or what?? *shuddup now okie ya are tellin your age*
The RAINDROP FRAME can hold a picture about 3 x 2 1/2 inches. Great for those school wallet sizes *at least I think....can't remember of hand*. There are two to a 6x12 sheet. In the screen shot you will notice the purple oval, that will cut out leaving the hole for the pic to be placed behind. That is a good idea for classroom bulletin boards! The area for the picture can be edited easily if needed.
There are two mats. The first mat ya need to cut in white, the dots will cut out. The back mat will be cut in black, which will show the dots. I think you might want to shade the sides to add some dimension which could easily be done with some chalk, not so sure about ink. Maybe I am feeling lazy today or it is all the rain *can't believe 5 inches so far since last night* but I didn't feel like resizing the dots to make a side with 6. But feel free to change it if ya need to!
I didn't have a chance to work on it until now since I was busy with company and going to the convention. There are a total of 5 mats, well 6 if you count the preview mat which is blank. The mats are top layer, pistel, stem, second layer and base. I inked the edges to add definition. Again this is one that I didn't take my time inking since I probably won't use this one, but I did want to show how it can be inked. Due to the curve in the top layer I think chalks might work better *gotta get me some of them there chalks!*. The over all measurements are about 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches. I didn't want to make it too big. There are a lot of shapes to it so if you accidently move a shape remember you can always close and when it says "do you want to save changes" click no. Reopen the file and it should be back to normal. Anyway, hope ya'll enjoy it!
I answered a lot of questions about the Cricut and Design Studio. There were several ladies that had Cricuts there. I couldn't figure out how I wanted to place things on the page. I probably would have worked a lot faster at home but I kept being distracted by all the people *is a total people watcher*. I finally finished the page around 5 pm or so! I still have to do the journaling box and I think I will do it on vellum.
I had bought the musical note vellum the previous day at the garage sale. I used music notes I had designed with DS a few months ago. I still need to do the journaling and think I might add some black stickles to the music notes. The flowers were some of the prima's I got from QVC. I really didn't know if I would like the black and white flowers but they were great with this LO!
I still have to do a title and journal boxes for 
them. We cut the flowers out of the flower paper and then just used them to border the wood looking paper. We inked the edges and I smeared ink on the base paper. The pictures I used were take at Lake Eufaula in 2006. The water level was down so bad that year! The girls had smeared mud all over themselves and had a great time. Even though the temperature was over 100 at 7pm. They pictures just seemed perfect for this paper!
I LOVE THE PAPERS SHE USED!! I think I have the final adjustments made for it to work right. You will need to score the folding lines. The folding lines are pretty easy to figure out since they just go from a corner to the parallel corner. Since it was on the baby bug there are a total of 4 mats. And there is probably a little bit more assembly required than that of the big bug version.
I didn't add any cut outs as I figured people have different tastes and can add their own if they download the file. And I thought that some might want to write on the ends of the baby crib, something like "Help welcome so and so's baby" or something like that. Anyway, ya can decorate it up however you want! I will say that when I did the cut with the bazzill it was much sturdier! *looking over at the huge pile of flimsy cardstock failures on my craft table* You can score for easier folding. I just used a ruler and embossing tool. The whole cut is done on ONE piece of 6x12 card stock. I did have it on two mats and then when I started figuring costs I thought I needed to try and put it on one mat.
The bottom of the bed is showing and should have enough room to write information about where, when, etc. Here you can see how there are cross tabs that keep the thing from falling apart. Very important if ya don't want a baby fallin to the floor! And NO ONE wants that to happen!! And if ya do want that to happen.......well I am called Child Services on ya! SHAME ON YOU! *cracking up laughin*
This shows how the tabs need to be folded in. Fold in the cross tabs and then the slot tabs. You then slide them into the slots and unfold to keep it together. I guess you could also write in the bottom of the bed if you needed more room to write. Such as if you wanted to write the suggestion I have at the end of this post.
For the receiver to put it together remember to fold in the cross tabs and the slot tabs. And WAH LAH! You have a 3D baby shower invitation! Since my friends and I are past the baby stage and we are hoping it will be a long, long, long time *it dang sure better be a long time!* before we need it for grandchildren I don't think I will be using this one anytime soon. However I thought it would be a cute idea to ask all the guests to bring their invitation to the shower and fill it with small goodies, like booties, pacifiers, (or anything that will fit in the crib) for the expectant mother!
She is working on a LO of her father and says he loved the scratch cards. I couldn't figure out how I wanted to do it until she sent me a picture of one. This is what I came up with! She said she loved it!! Anyway if there is anyone else who likes them I am offering the cut file! There are 5 mats to the whole file. The ovals, numbers, stars, main background and star background. I told her I thought it would look awesome with some stickles on the stars! But if you don't know already I am a TOTAL stickles nut!! I would paint my car with stickles if i could figure out a cheap way to do it! HA HA HA HA Okay maybe not that bad....but pretty darn close!
I decided to cut it and see what it looked like. I think it turned out pretty good. I cut mine in pink since I had scraps of pink. There are couple of mats to it. The base, the seat and the arms and also the bucket and toilet paper. I thought by doing the extra cuts it would add more dimension. Of course it can be decorated up to your own preference! So ladies, train away as you now have a potty chair to scrap! *LOL*
