A BACK TO SCHOOL OWL CARD TAG

hello all,

this is the owl i had in my picture collage in the "previous post" that i couldn't use on my last project. remember i used

the cricut explore PNC (print and cut) feature and an svg's from the digi playground.

Back to School Card Tag

4.25"

i will try my best to explain the "how to" since i had some emails asking about the process.

step #1

-insert your images to the cricut design space-

step #2

-hide the back to school background by closing the eyes on the layer section to the right-

Step #3

-add two circles, change colors if desired, position them to the back of images (owl and back to school) , click "attach all" located at the top of virtual mat or by right clicking your mouse or touchpad, then click on "flatten" (see top right of pic) and

you will see the printer icon next to the layers sections instead the scissors for cut.

step#4

-click go and you will see the markings on your virtual cutting mat indicating it's ready to print-

***make sure you do not exceed the printing area. if you do exceed the printing area, go back and resize to a smaller size, hit go and print. after printing you are ready to cut in the explore.

if you have any questions, please contact me and i will try my best to help you.

here are some more pics of the card/tag:

-all the faux stitching was done with a white gel pen-

-the embellishment was made using a paper punch and a g studio clear stamp-

-the inside-

-cute little owl-

you also can cut the owl's layers individually or just some parts of it to add dimension and texture.

hope you enjoy my post for today.

see you next time,

A TRICK OR TREAT SCALLOPED PURSE TREAT HOLDER

for today's digi playground post i chose to make this cute scalloped purse and treat it as a trick or treat candy box. so easy to put together you do not even need glue because it has some nice tabs that you engage for the need of no glue at all, lol. 

cool, huh?

Trick or Treat 

(size around 5 inches in diameter and 2 inches in depth)

 the main ingredient here is the scalloped purse svg. it was designed by miss samantha walker and you can find it
here.
i know i keep saying this but it is really so easy to put together, it will be perfect for a get together kid parent project for halloween, school, birthdays, weddings and the possibilities are almost endless with these type of treat boxes.

anyway, i have to tell you the pretty cardstock is from an oldie dcwv stack. i do not know if you can find it anymore.
the tag is from a paper punch, the sentiment from a g studio clear stamp and the ink from prima.

this collage of pics i made to show some of the process and i know you are wondering about the "back to school" and "owl" pic. hehe.
well, i tell you that was what i had in mind.
i wanted to add them but i cut them too big. they will be saved for a round card tough because i love how they turned out.
i used my explore and design space to print and cut them and that is why i wanted to include them.
i wanted you to see you can print and cut too.
they are both svg files from the digi playground and i linked them for you if interested.

and...did you notice the tabs for a glueless project?
i think is such a nice feature.

this is it for today.
i thank you again for taking the time to visit and i hope you have a great week.
if you have any questions, please, do not hesitate to contact any of us.
we are here to help.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

hello all,

and happy holidays.

i want to wish you a very happy and healthy christmas and a fabulous and happy new year.

today is my turn to bring you some inspiration using some of the  fabulous little pretty studiogoodies i have and since it was love at first sight, i had no problems getting in the creative mood with this collection.

 my last card was whimsical and super cute with that so very pretty reindeer and the bright colors. for this project i chose to  take a nostalgic vintage turn. let me introduce you to:

Merry Christmas

 -lovely vintage owls here-

-some embossing on the red cardstcok and a banner and a feather attached with some tiny staples-

the base for my card was made using my cricut and the sentiment is piece of vellum from quick quotes. the color and translucency of it was a perfect match for my owls.

- i believe i achieved the vintage woody look side of this collection-

i am so very happy with it all and very happy with its versatility and quality.

if you want to see the entire collection it can be found here.

see you next time and thank you so very much for stopping by.

hugs,

HOO'S HAVING A BIRTHDAY

Hello everyone!!!

 This summer has been so hot we neglected a lot of yard work because we did not want to deal with the weather. Yesterday, I went around the house checking the grass and plants and our yard is a disaster. Hopefully, the weather gets better as we move into autumn and we can start getting things in order.

Later on I was looking at some photos for my son's marching band book and I saying to myself it is a shame I do not scrapbook more often. So I got all enthusiastic for a moment and made this layout. :)

Hoo's Having a Birthday

12 by 12 inch layout

using the

Hoot 'N Holler Lite 

Cricut Cartridge

 The base cardstock is The Green Stack from DCWV and the rest is from American Crafts.
The phrase was cut at 5.14" H x 8.96" W  and the party hat was tweaked a bit with the Gypsy. Finally, I decided to cut it at 3.5" high and 1.95" wide. I used the white pen for the doodling, some stickles, popped-up the hat and added a K&CO border to the photo mat.
Having such a beautiful paper as the base it was not much more I needed to do.
I hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
Hugs!

HOOT-ERRIFIC

The weather in the northeast has been 

Hot-torrific  

instead of 

Hoot-errific.

:-)

from the Tweetie Hoo Puns My Pink Stamper aka Robyn,  released last month. They are so much fun when you pair them with some cricut images. They work well too. I did notice they do get stained with the dye inks but not with the pigment inks I have. The stained ones keep performing as well as the non-stained ones; same quality on the stamped phrase. I thought to share this since I see a lot of you buying them and I wanted to share my personal experience with them. So do not get Hoot-errified if they get stained, lol.

Now I will introduce the card I made in this Hot-torrific weather  

(Thank You God for providing us with a central AC)

Hoot-errific

4.25 squared card

 I had a 4.25 squared card base already with the patterned paper on that I never got to finish so I made the little owl from Straight from the Nest. I cut him at 2.35 inches using my G and E. I also cut the branch from SFTN at 1.88 inch and put it all together. The owl cardstock is from Bazzill, a nice charcoal color and the wings, belly and leaves from some scrap MME papers I had. I did use Glossy Accents on the eyes and belly twirl but you can't see it on the pic. The branch base is from The Paper Studio kraft cardstock. All the shadow cuts are white from Wausau Linen cardstock and as I said previously, the stamp used for the Hoot-errific is from 

MPS aka Robyn.

Thanks for stopping by and please keep safe in this kind of hot weather.

It already feels like a 100 degrees and it is just 10:30 AM ET.

I still have to go to the gym but I will be back later on.

WILD CARD WITH LISA/OWL

HOLA!

Today is Tuesday and I can't believe is the third week of May already.This month was a Hi and Bye kind of month...like a doctor's 15 minutes visit, lol.

We are almost at the end of the Wild Card Series with this Owl Card being #41...9 more to go and it feels I have been doing them forever. You can find this card on page# 72 of the cartridge handbook. 

I also want to post here about Audrey's Showcase. 

Stop by her blog and see what is all the fun about.

Click HERE if you desire to know.

I also want to CONGRATULATE to all who graduate this school year of 2010.

A Big HOORAY for them.

Now, I will present my

My Owl Card

5 inches

 Isn't he cute?

Look at his little beak. I do not know how I am folding it to put it in the envelope. 

That is going to be a task, lol

I used American Crafts textured cardstock for the card base and eyes. The designer scrapbooking paper is from Prima Marketing: The First Blush Collection. The envelope again is from a construction paper pack I have in my stash.

The inside phrase is done with my new Cri-kits pens and filled in with an American Crafts glitter marker. 

I wanted these Cri-kits pens so bad and today was the first time I used them. I got the four packs: metallic, pastel, reg.& neon and the glitter ones. I used the black glitter one for the outline not that you can see the glitter at all in the pic. It does looks better in real life. To use these pens you need the metal carrier. I got all these pens and the carrier from Scrapbook Corner online store. I got free shipping with my order but I am not sure if they are still offering it. This is not a commercial...I paid for all of them including my carrier...they are not my sponsors and this is just a comment I am making in case any of you wants to know.

Lisa's Card

as we all know Lisa hasn't been posting hers due to personal reasons. 

Whenever she is up to it, she will be posting hers and then I will edit my posts to include her card.  

Let's wish Lisa the best with her pregnancy.

Thanks for stopping by and for the love you leave me.

Hugs!
