Single Photo Layout

I really need to get moving on my Cartridge Challenge.  But after today's postings I will be able to mark off  four (4) more cartridges.  I was asked to do a layout for a single photo of three friends that was found from several years back.  I made it really simple.  I used some Rub-on's that I got from Big Lots, bling that I had in my stash, and the Cricut Cartridges Art Deco (lettering), Forever Young and Paper Dolls Teen Scene (silhouettes).  And yes, I inked the ends of the paper with gentle strokes of the ink pad.

HAPPY CRAFTING,

GRADUATION CARD AND DECORATIONS

Graduation season is finally over in my family.  But I wanted to share with you the Card I made using the Silhouette Cameo, and the graduation cap decorations.

I was looking through the CardMaker Magazine and found instructions on how to make a slider card.  But I didn't want to have to cut the template over and over again by hand, every time I wanted to make that type of card.  That's where my Silhouette Cameo stepped up and it easy.  I made a cut file using the Silhouette Studio software to make the sliding mechanism.

 The graduation bear on top of the card, is a cut file I purchased from the Silhouette Store (Design ID #42817).

The Card opens up so that you can leave a sentiment or hand written message on the inside.

Now for the cap decorations I used the my Cricut Create (which traveled very well as carry-on luggage).  The Best of 2008 was used for the Soccer themed hat.  Cricut Craft Room Basic (digital) was used for the lettering on the other hat.

HAPPY CRAFTING,

GRADUATION TIME!!!

Hey Crafters,  I know it has been awhile, since I last posted here on the blog or the YouTube channel.  Life has been busy with work and you guessed by the title Graduation Time. I made a couple of cards for my nephews and I figured I would share them with you.  

This will also mark off at least three more cartridge from my self-imposed Cricut Cartridge Challenge.  The end of summer is going to be on us soon, so I need to get moving.  Lucky for me I got some requests for  layouts and thank you cards.  Those projects should help me marked off some more cartridges.  So keep your finger crossed and check back to see if I make the deadline.

For these two cards I used Paper Dolls Teen Scene, and some K & Company stickers that I found on clearance at one of the craft stores.

The watermark background was made with a stamp and some clear embossing powder.  The Class of 2013 ribbon is by Simplicity.

For this card below I used the Everyday Paper Dolls & Phrases Cartridges.  And since the class of 2013 is only this year,  I used the ribbon from Simplicity again.  I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Everyday face, from the assortment set.

HAPPY CRAFTING,
