Everyday Cricut Day 2 ~ Masculine Birthday!

 

 Hello my crafty friends!  If you didn't see my post yesterday, I'm thrilled to be a guest designer this week at Everyday Cricut!  Crazy, huh!!! 

Today I wanted to make a masculine card.  I don't know about you, but I never have enough of them.  I used  my new cartridge, Suburbia!  This cartridge has so many masculine images, that it made it easy!  This is a great retro cartridge too!

 

 

After inking all my pieces, I cut a slit on the top layer of the typewriter to add the "paper" with "happy birthday to you" stamped on it.

 

I also added a some burlap and hemp for more texture.  Oh yeah, I managed to leave the glitter off this one! lol

 

Recipe:

Suburbia Cricut Cartridge

typewriter cut at 1.96 x 1.42 and layers to match

man cut at 1.24 x 3.23 and layer to match

Campin Critters Cricut Cartridge

label cut at 4.99x 3.27 and 5.17 x 3.39

In honor of my week over at Everyday Cricut I'm having a giveaway!  All you have to do is leave a comment and your contact info here and on Everyday Cricut!  I'll pick one winner for this Limited Edition Metallic Hemp on Saturday, October 20!

 

 

I'll be back tomorrow with another fun project for you!

 

Enjoy!

 

Yosemite Layout and Special Treat For You!

Oh Happy Friday Paper Lovers!

I am SOOO glad it's Friday!  How about you?   We've had a bit of a cool spell this past week.  Only in the 80's, however, this weekend it's suppose to get HOT again!  Thank goodness our pool will back in working order tomorrow.  We unexpectedly had to have some major work done :(   I'll post some before and after pictures next week.  I'm hoping that with this remodel, I'll be using it more frequently!

Now that I've bored you with my stuff, I have a special treat for you.  My Creative Time is having a Customer Appreciation Sale!  So be sure to use the code "THANKU" to get 20% off your entire purchase.  Emma just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers and well wishes for her son and family!

I also wanted to share a layout of my trip to Yosemite!  Can you believe I just went last week for the first time and I already have a layout completed?!

I added a bit of stickles to the mountains and to the bear's badge.

I just need to add the journaling!

Don't you just love these paper pins from Tim Holtz, I don't know if that's the correct name :)

I ran the badge and the letters through the embossing folder.

Monday Hop with EAD Designs!

Happy Monday, it's hopping time with EAD Designs!  You should have arrived here from my super creative friend, Lauren at Lauren's Creative!  If you just popped in to say hi to me, please head over to the start at EAD's blog, so you can welcome Rose our Guest Designer for the month of September!

Today I have a super quick card for you today, that's the great think about using stickerz, they're quick and easy!  If you've never used EAD's vinyl stickerz, you're mssing out!  Or if it's been along time since you've used stickerz you really need to to try again!  Because they are vinyl, you can carefully pull them up if you aren't happy with the placement.  I love that, since I'm not always happy with the first place I put something!

Campin Critter Cricut Cartridge

I just used the card feature and smaller layers to create the card.

EAD Designs ~ Farmer's Market Stickerz

My Minds Eye and Stampin Up Paper

Bakers Twine, Ink and White Pen

Make sure you leave a comment for everyone, including on EAD's blog to be eligible for this weeks giveaway!
