EAD Designs Color Challenge~Call Me!

*** This is my second post of the day...if you're looking for

My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge,

please scroll down***

Good Morning!   Welcome to EAD Design's Color Challenge!  Today's challenge is all about the black and white!  I have to say this is one of my favorite color combos, I wear it frequently!  However, I usually have a pop of color with it, so I had a hard time not adding a pop on my card!  lol

For today's card I used my favorite houndstooth from Teresa Collins, how could I not! :)

I first used My Creative Time XL Label die to cut out EAD's Vinyl stickerz sheet.  It cut it out beautifully!  I then cut a plain white sheet with the label die.  Once cut out I placed the cut sticker on the cut label.  Now here's the best part...it didn't match the first time I tried to stick them together.  But that's ok, because with EAD vinyl stickerz you can carefully pull them off the paper and try again.  Second try was perfect!!!  You just couldn't do that will all stickers! 

The other awesome thing about the newsprint vinyl sheet is, that it's printed on clear vinyl.  This way a color would show through!

Hello!  Are you enjoying your week so far?   I am, however, since getting back from CHA, the ideas have been swirling around in my head.  The hard part is, I can't seem to get them out!  lol!

I used Build a Banner Stamp and Die kit for the tag.

MCT ~ Monday Madness...Imagine That! Get Well

***this is my second post of the day***

Happy Monday and Welcome to My Creative Time ~ Monday Madness...Imagine That!  I hope that you had an awesome weekend!  Mine was filled with cleaning, laundry and a little crafting!  Silly as it sounds, it's really satisfying for me to have my home in order!!  I 'm so excited because I'm using my Imagine.  Now before you ask "why can't you use it anyother time?"  I can, I'm just not that comfortable with it.

For today's project, Emma has asked me to use her "Pain Pain Go Away" stamp set along with the Imagine!

I printed and cut the label with the Imagine.  Then I printed squares for the flowers and leaves then ran it though my Expression to cut them out.  Now, I know that you can use the Expression carts in the Imagine, however I use my Gypsy for everything.  So it was WAY easier for me to do it this way.

After cutting the flowers, I inked the edges with pink ink.  The leaves were inked with "old paper" ink.  I also added a little stick pin.

recipe:

Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

flowers cut 2 at 2.18 x 2.10 and 1 at 2.43 x 2.35

leaves cut 4 at 1.67 x 1.31

Vintage Damask Imagine Cartridge

label cut at 2.5 and 3.0

Monday Hop with EAD Designs ~ Stache Time!

Hi Everyone and welcome to EAD Designs Monday Hop!  Well this hop is a special one, because it's the first one with our new HUGE Design Team!  You should have arrived here from the ever creative Lauren's blog!  If not, please head over to the start at EAD's blog, otherwise you will miss all my new DT mates!  Also you will want to leave a comment along the way for this weeks giveaway!

For this week's hop I decided to showcase something completely different.

 

My daughter usually has Acrylic nails and has decided to go natural.  Now part of getting your nails done at a salon, is getting the art work.  So I decided to surprise her with EAD's mustache nail rub-ons!  She loves them!

I use "shellac" which requires a UV light to dry.  It didn't even phase the vinyl at all!

Your next stop is Rose! 

 Please give her and the other new DT members a warm welcome!
