Mini Tutorial using Once Upon a Princess

Here's a quick mini tutorial using the Cricut's Once Upon a Princess cartridge showing how to layer the dolls.
I used my Peachy Keen Everyday Character Stamps to create the faces on some of these dolls. You can find them here. The sweet patterned papers I used for their clothes are Bisous PDQ from their Rainbow collection and you can find it here.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #25

For this PKS Challenge #25, I made a birthday card for my niece. She's turning 3 (I can't believe it!).
I used my new Once Upon a Princess cartridge. There are some super cute cupcakes on it. I also used my Peachy Keen Christmas Character Face Assortment. I used one of the elf faces, but it was perfect b/c the little nose looks like a sprinkle!!
The pp's are gorgeous Bisous from their Hot collection!

It Came!!

My Once Upon a Princess cartridge came today! OH MY Gosh it is the cutest cart ever!!
Here is my first creation using it!! Bazzil Cardstock, Prima Marketing Papers and Sakura Gelly Roll Pens...tfl

2 St. Pat's cards

I had fun making two little St. Patrick's Day cards today. These little leprechauns are from Cricut's Paper Doll Dress Up. The large shamrock is from A Child's Year and the pp is Prima Marketing (not sure what the small green dots patterned paper is). The little faces on the dolls are Peachy Keen Stamps Everyday Faces Assortment (my favorite).

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #24

Here's my card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #24. This challenge was a sketch challenge and also you need to use a PK stamp somewhere on the card.

I cut this little Easter basket and eggs with my Cricut using Doodlecharms. I stamped the eggs with my Peachy Keen Stamps Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment using the 3/8 inch stamp. I cut the eggs at 1 inch set on real size. I decorated the Easter Eggs using Sakura Glaze 3D Glossy Ink pens. Love these!! I painted the Easter basket using Sakura Koi Watercolors and Waterbrush. These paints are really lovely!

The patterned paper was from Flair Designs Easter Surprise Collection.

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #23

Here's my card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #23! I really wanted to use my Penguin Doll Set and I thought how cute would he look holding a little green shamrock. This shamrock cut is from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge. It had a longer stem than the shamrock I used on my last card, that shamrock was from Paper Doll Dress Up. The background paper I used is Prima (I can't remember what company made the green with tiny circles patterned paper) and the green paint is a Ranger Ink dabber in Citrus.
tfl!

Cricut Cartridge Review Series #3 Sesame Street and Friends

2 quick cards

Here are two cards that I made using my A Child's Year and Design Studio. Both cards, together, took about 1/2 hour to make, start to finish. I used the rectangle from George and Basic Shapes to create a connecting piece between the two welded shapes. I did this for both cards, as you can see below.

Cricut Cartridge Review Series #2 New Arrival

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #22

It's Leprechaun time!! Cricut's Paper Doll Dress Up has the cutest leprechaun with a shamrock cut! I had to use it for this card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #22. I found this little scrap of leprechaun pp by Provo Craft. I've had it for years and it sparked my interest to make this card. Then I knew the little "winking" face from PK Everyday Face Stamps would be perfect!!

Cricut Cartridge Review Series #1 A Child's Year

I'm really excited today because here is my first video for my Cricut Cartridge Review Series. My plan is to review all of my Cricut cartridges and any new ones I may get along the way. The twist is that my reviews will cover all the the function buttons on each cartridge. I love watching cartridge review videos but I have yet to see one that actually shows you cuts of each function button. So, I thought that would make a great series!!
Hope you like the video and if you have any questions, comments or requests leave me a message or send me an email!!

thanks so much,

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #21

I loved this challenge!! Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge #21 was to create a project in any format! So, I choose a scrapbook page...of course. My vintage item was the photo of my mom, a torn page from an old book that I bought at a book barn and some old buttons I found in a bag of buttons at an old estate sale. My stamped item are the stamped snowflakes that I also glittered with stickles. They are Peachy Keen Large Snowflakes and faces. I love these stamps they are super versatile and Ive used them in so many different ways!! This time I stamped the bottom layer in pink and purple and the top layer in silver. Oh also, the corrugated piece of cardboard to the right of my photo is the inside of a light bulb container. I almost threw it away then I thought, oh, this would look cool with stickles on it for a page...
Hope you like!!
