Blast Off Flash Cards

Hi everyone! For the last couple nights I have been busy with my Imagine machine creating some flash cards for my daughter who is in the second grade. She needs help with memorizing her math facts so I figured this was a perfect little gift for her and she's so excited to practice with them!

For this project the Imagine cartridge I used was Blast Off, a cool child-themed font with bright cheerful colours!

Boxes:

I used the crayon box cut from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More sized at 6.3" and cut and print with the Imagine.

The scalloped oval was cut from B is For Boy at 5".

The oval was also cut from B is For Boy at 4.5".

I then stamped "Addition" and "Subraction" on the ovals.

All other images were cut and printed from Blast Off and sized to fit in a 3" X 4" area.

Flash Cards:

I printed out four 12X12 sheets of patterned paper from the Blast Off cartridge and cut each into twelve 3"X4" rectangles.

The numbers were cut at 1.2" from Blast Off.

The "plus" and "minus" symbols were cut from Don Juan and filled in with Blast Off.

After writing the answers on the back of each card, to make them more durable, I ran them through my Your Story machine to laminate them.

I created these flash cards for the Monthly challenge at the Cricut Circle Blog. This month they asked us to create something for child that was not a card or layout. The prize this month is a gently-used Cricut Expression for the school of our choice along with 4 cartridges. I was already fortunate enough to have the Cricut Circle donate one to my daughter's school at the beginning of the school year but would be super excited to pass one on to another school in the area! Crossing my fingers!

Hope you like my flash cards and that you're having a fantastic week so far!

Holiday Gift Bag

Hi everyone! Today I have to show you a quick project I made for the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week! The task was to create a handmade gift or gift package. I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to create the purse and tag. The paper is my new favorite Christmas stack by DCWV - "'Tis the Season". I added a gold bow and gathered some ribbon to put on a scalloped border along the bottom.

If you have seen my posts from the past couple of days, I have been apologizing for my poor quality photos. Unfortunately it is difficult to see detail, but hopefully I will be getting a different camera soon! Please Santa...:-)

I am in a couple blog hops this weekend so please check them out and enter to win my blog candy!

Hope you like my project and thanks for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Blog Hop!

Hi everyone! Welcome to this Thanksgiving blog hop! Hope you are excited as I am to see what everyone has created for this 2- day blog hop! If you are arriving at my blog from My Fantabulous Life, then you are in the right place! If not, please start the blog hop at Amy's Digi-Scraps and come back here later!

For my first project, I chose to create this paper bag mini-album,which I am going to give to my sister-in-law for Christmas - I just LOVE how it turned out. The chipboard cover was covered in canvas which I had painted with acrylic paint and modpodged Cricut letters on.

The instructions I used for creating a paper bag album were from a video I found on Youtube by Laura from Following the Paper Trail - if you are not sure who she is, go find her! She absolutely a creative genius.

I used a ton of Cricut cartridges for this album, I wish I could go step by step in the detail or that I could have done a video to show all of the elements. There are just so many things that the picture doesn't show!

For your next stop on this blog hop, please go visit Time to Create and see what she has in store for you! And don't forget to come back tomorrow to see my next Thanksgiving themed project - it was something I had never tried before and it turned out great!

Dracula Treat Bag

Hi everyone! I love Peachy Keen Stamps and am so excited that they have added another challenge to their blog! In addition to their Tuesday challenge, they have added a "Let's Face it Friday" challenge where you are required to make use of your Peachy Keen face stamps. For the first challenge, the task was to create a Halloween treat container. I chose this Dracula card feature cut from the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge. The face was stamped with Make a Monster Face Assortment stamp set by Peachy Keen. The box was created from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

Hello Kitty Crayon Box

Hi everyone! This week at Fantabulous Cricut they have a fantastic blog hop going on - you should check it out! Lots of fun and tons of fabulous prizes! For their challenge this week, we had to create a school-themed project which included buttons somewhere. I decided to make a crayon box for my daughter as a surprise - I think she will love it! For the box I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and Hello Kitty Greetings for the cheerleader Hello Kitty. I was complaining on the Circle messageboard the other day about how awful I am at using glitter and one of the nice ladies on there suggested that I try running my cuts through the xyron first for a nice even glittery effect. WOW!! I still got glitter everywhere in my work area, but only where I wanted it on my project. I LOVE this technique! Thank you for stopping by - hope you like my crayon box!
