Cards made from KanBan Kit from HSN

These are cards I made on Saturday and finished blinging them today, used lots of pop dots on these, they were so fun to make I couldn't stop myself so made an even dozen.  All but one are just the card fronts, will put them on a card later when I send them out.  They are made from a kit from KanBan Crafts that I purchased from HSN.  I left some of the labels blank so that I could add sentiment when I get ready to give them to someone.  The butterfly is from a Martha Stewart punch.  The edge punches are also Martha Stewart.  The papers and punch-outs in this set are exceptional and the cardstock is nice and heavy.  I ordered another kit just like this and also the black and white set with the same designs.  I want to use my cricut and some of the girls from Forever Young to design some more cards.  KanBan also has a bird cardmaking kit that I ordered today so look for some more cards in the next month.  Hope you enjoy looking. 

New Cards

This is a get well card made for my daughter who is recovering from knee surgery.  The images are from PC Crafter, I love the images from that site.  I have made a lot of cards with many of the images.

This is another owl card that I made for my parents.  Going out in the mail tomorrow, they are snow birding in Arizona this winter.

My sister is a nut over shoes and I love making her cards with them on it.  More images from PC Crafter.

 

Miss You card made on the Imagine for my BFF, Vickie, she moved to another town last year and I miss her terribly.

Frog card made for my youngest daughter, she like frogs.  The inside says "Wouldn't It Be Great If You Could Eat What Bugs You" and has another image of the frogs.  Images again from PC Crafter.

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!

Got some Spellbinder dies from JoAnn's this weekend, they had 4 sets sold as one set and I bought 3 of them, will try to get some things made from them as soon as I can find my C plate for my Cuttlebug!! Just can't figure out what I did with it!!  May have to buy a new one.  That's what I get for constantly reorganizing.

Imagine Birthday Card

This is a birthday card made for my granddaughter, Alexis.  She will be 11 years old in May, how fast they grow!!  Cartridges used for this card are Cricut Imagine Blossom and Cricut A Child's Year, designed everything but the background on the gypsy.  The background is cut using the Imagine preloaded scallop design cut at 6 inches, turns out to be 6" x 7" apx.  I tried designing this on the gypsy but no matter what I did it kept printing with a black border. The card was cut at 7 1/4" x 12 inches, scored in half and folded.  Edges of both were inked with pink.  The letters and the numbers for 11 were cut at 2".  The candle was cut at 3" and the balloon was cut at 4".  I inked the edges of everything with pink, blue, green or yellow.  The face on the balloon is from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-460 Happy Lashes Assortment, I used the 1" size.  Then mounted the ballon using Action Wobbles.  And the bling is Stickles Star Dust and Yellow.  Enjoy and thank you for visiting.

Cat Card

This is not my original design I saw it on another blogspot, I cannot remember where I saw it but will keep looking and post the blogspot when I find it (if anyone knows please let me know)  I just got hooked on making this little kitten card, as you can tell I made a few.  Before you could design and save projects for the Imagine I used to make several of each card, after all the time spent designing I felt making only one card was a waste of my time.  I love now that we can design and save on the Gypsy for the Imagine.  I made this little girl about 5 inches tall.

Owl cards

I had a day where I just could not quit making owls, just got hooked on them, everything is easy on the Imagine.  I must have made a dozen of them.  I then had to decide what to make with all of them, they were just so darn cute.  So I made a base of a  round scallop card on the gypsy, added a scallop layer and then a round circle made on the Imagine, added the owls with pop dots and then of course bling, I added 3 pearls to the bottom of each card which seemed to just finish them off.  Enjoy looking.

Elephant Card

Elephant card made using Animal Kingdom.  Used my Gypsy to weld the card base together.  Made the head a little lighter shade of purple, embossed the tusks, tail and feet with white embossing.  Then added bling with stickles and added a jewel on the head.  I love this card.

Wobbly head Easter cards

I used wobbly head stickers on these Easter cards, Imagine cartridges for the egg colors, cricut cartridge for the egg itself and Martha Stewart punch around the page.  The faces are stamps from Peachy Keen stamps, love these stamps!!

Imagine Baby Shower Invitation

Imagine Valentine card

Tri fold Birthday card

Folding card

I try to make these folded cards so that all the designs off set each other and then the receiver can lay them flat and use them in a scrapbook.  I have made dozens of these cards and have yet to tire of making them.  I love using the Cricut Imagine with my other cartridges.  I think that the Imagine cuts so much better than the Expression, don't get me wrong I love them both, just that the Imagine cuts better.  Still waiting for the new cartridges to come out, hurry hurry!!!!

Doll house continued

Another picture from the doll house, these are the 'kids' that live here.  My granddaughters have so much fun playing with this.  Alexis got them all dressed up in their finest for the picture.  I then took that picture and used Cricut Imagine Blossom and Cindy Loo and made a frame for the 'family portrait' and hung it on the back wall of this room.  One of the dolls in the kitchen.  I printed the all the wall decorations from Kate's Kitchen Imagine cartridge.  There is the 'chef' on the right side wall, the clock on the back wall and then I printed some of the other designs and hung them as pictures on the left wall.  That is a Polly Pocket doll in the kitchen.  I still need to touch up around the window.  When I put up the wallpaper I then used an exacto knife to cut out the window, much easier than trying to measure and cut it out before I hung the wall paper.

Doll House renovation

I found a doll house at Goodwill for $5 and totally redid it, it was originally two different colors of pink.  I used white spray paint to paint inside and out and it turned out to have a light pink hue.  I used my Cricut Imagine cartridges to print wallpaper, ran it through the Xyron and placed it on the walls.  It turned out so cute.  I will post some more pictures later.  The kitchen in the bottom right of the picture was printed from Kate's Kitchen Imagine cartridge, it is one of the images on the cartridge.

This is a card I made last year for our grandson who was turning 2 years old.  The paper is from DWV, the robot is cut from the cricut cartridge Robotz and the Imagine.  I love these cards and they are so simple to make.  The Imagine is my favorite Cricut machine now.  Can't wait for new cartridges to come out.

First day blogging

Hi I am Candy.  Today I created this blog so that I can post some of my creations.  I own a Cricut Expression and Cricut Imagine and I have been busy making so many cards and creations that wanted to have a place to post some of my creations.  I also am the proud owner of a cuttlebug, I love embossing as you will see from many of my projects.  Some of them are what I have learned from watching others and some are my original designs.  Have fun looking and let me know if you have any questions.
