Cuttin' Up! - Acrylic

Image
By
I wanted to make a little purse to hold chocolates with the acetate.  I wasn't quite sure if it would work, as I have never cut acetate with the Cricut before.  All I can say is WOW!  I loved it!

I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge and set the size to 4 3/4".  I had the cutting blade set at 6 and used the muti-cut option to have it go over it twice.  It was wonderful.  The purse popped right out with no problems.  This handy dandy little cartridge is on the retired list, so be sure to grab one while you can!!! It's one of my favorites :)
I then ran the flap of the purse though the Cuttlebug with the Daisy Flower folder.  To highlight the little flowers I used Painters markers by Elmer's, then added little plastic beads for the handle and a paper flower to top it off.  Add the yummy chocolates morsels and we are off for girls' night out!

    Hi Wanda me again. Could you send me an email with instructions on how to make this purse card and the lampshades you made out of vellum for a wedding challenge?

    I was to make these if it is ok with you. I just started paper crafting this year in feb/march, so I need all the inspiration can get.

    Thank you and I am now a follower too

Wow!  Hello everyone.  I know it's been a very long time since I posted.  I've had to deal with some personal issues and couldn't dedicate my time to crafting.  But, I'm back!  I have been doing some really fun activities and having lots of fun with Betty from Bettybrett.blogspot.com .  She has amazing Friday try days. Her crops are the greatest.  I'm looking forward to the November one. It is called Candy Cane Lane. I'm even going to teach a class of my own in paper piecing. This class will be the 23rd of November.  More details on this to follow.    I've so missed crafting and I've missed my followers.  I always said " I love my computer because my friends are in it".  LOL  I will be posting pictures soon.  I just need to get this computer set up to do it with. Huggles,  Wanda

Wedding Affaire Lamp Shade

By
For our big Wedding Affaire on Cuttlebug Challenge Blogspot   I chose to make Crystal Goblet Lamp Shades. I first made the pattern in the shape and length that I want the shade to be. I used velumn to for the shade it self. To hold the ends of the shade together I used Tear-ific tape. It really holds well. Using the heart Cuttlebug Folder I dry embossed the heart in the middle of the shade. I made the cross hatch with using the pergamano technique. The K is cut out of Core'dinations gemstone with the Jasmine cartridge. I sanded the K to give it a softer look. The cute little butterflies are cut out of the Core'dinations pearls paper. I used the MS Pop Up Butterfly punch. They are the "cast off" pieces which left me a wonderful border for latter use. (LOL) I found this wonderful lace with pearls weaved through it at Joann's in the material section. Using the Tear-ific tape I laid it all a long the bottom of the shade then placed the lace over tape. I then cut the

Cuttlebug Challenge #48

By
Cuttlebug Challenge is having a month long celebration for their 1 year anniversay. This weeks challenge was a gift bag and card. For my gift bag I used a clipart from Daisie Company. I burnt around the edges to make it look old. (Little hint here. Don't do it in your kitchen even though there is water so if it get out of hand. It does set off the fire alarm. OOPS LOL ) Then I made the tag with my favorite folder for this project the Houndstooth. Tied it on with my twine to keep it in the same theme. My card I used Dustin Pike Digi-art Colored it with Bic pens and Gel pens. The inside of the card I used Clip art from Daisie Company and used the houndstooth folder again to distress the scroll.
