3D Strawberries

2012-01-25T14:57:00.000-08:00

Look at these adorable strawberries!! Just in time for valentine's day!

These were very easy to make. The step by step directions can be found at Whoopsie Daisy.

You can make these large or small. They will hold all kinds of goodies depending on the size.

I cut these at 5 inches and they hold 2 jolly ranchers or you can turn them upside down and they will hold a tootsie pop.

Whoopsie Daisy provides a template you can use or you can go to The Frugal Crafter and she provides directions for the sucker holder. She also provides an SVG file for those with Sure Cuts A Lot (that is what I used!)

These were quick and easy. I spent about 20 minutes on these 3 strawberries (not including cutting time!).

If you have the Cricut cartridge, Flower Shoppe. You could make this with the flowers on the cartridge. Just use one with 5 connecting petals.

Enjoy!

Paper Snow Flakes

Here's a great place to get the patterns for paper snowflakes. I'm envisioning 100's of flakes hanging from my ceiling since it rarely snows for Christmas here!!

Flower Shoppe Poinsettia

Here is the first flower that I've made with my new cartridge that actually turned out well. My main problem has been trying to figure out the spiral things that come with the cartridge.

I followed this youtube tutorial and it really helped alot!!

It is a bit time consuming to make these flowers but well worth it.

I'm very glad that I have design studio as that made it much easier to layout. I would imagine that the new Cricut Craft Room would do the same thing.

Hinge Technique

I was browsing around this evening and ended up at Clever Someday. She has a great tutorial for the hinge technique for cutting printouts. Take a look!

My Craft Room

Here's a picture of my craft room.

One day I hope to be able to move everything out, spend 100's of dollars on storage and actually get it organized.

My main problem is I don't want to have to get up to get something once I sit so everything needs to be within reach (makes for a very crowded desk!!.

I keep all of my stamp pads in an old wooden cassette tape holder. My husband fixed it to the wall so I wouldn't have to worry about it falling over.

Here's a picture of a cabinet that my dad made for me. Originally is was designed to hold loose stamps so the smaller drawers on top hold one row of wood mounted stamps or 81/2 X x paper. It's about 5 feet tall! I love it!!

Family Foto

2011-10-17T20:45:00.000-07:00

I had this idea for a great family "foto" Christmas card. The kids are on either end, hubby and I in the middle, even have the cat and dog.

I made the cut file myself with Paint.Net and Sure Cuts A Lot.

I would have been a great idea except cutting out all the hats and scarves took a long time because they are so small and hard to work with.

I also wish I had left off the 3d snow.
