would you ever guess in my cricut craft room

happy wednesday ! today is would you ever guess wednesday at My Cricut Craft Room and our challenge is to make 1 project using 7 different cartridges.

i'm anxious for my favorite season fall to arrive and i thought id make a wreath for my front door. i havent decided if i want to put the word welcome or what yet. when i finally decide it will get adhered on the bottom under the bird and flowers.

i started with a grapevine wreath

for these flowers ( and the ones inside the flowerpot) i used walk in my garden crpsis at 2 inches. and for the stems i used zoobaloo branch cut at 2~1/2 inches

 the bees are from pooh and friends cut at 1 inch. i wrapped some wire around a pen to curl it then adhered the bees to that. 

i used walk in my garden for the flower pot cut at 5 inches and spade at 4~1/2 inches.

the flowers are from accent essentials (accent 33s) cut at 1~1/2 inches. i adhered buttons in the centers. the branch is from stretch your imagination flourish2 (s) cut at 5 inches.

and for this flower and the other one like it i used cindyloo flower 4 cut at 2 inches down to 1 inch in 1/4 increments then layered and scrunched them. i used plantin for the leaves behind these cut at 1~1/2 inches.

i hope you like my pretty wreath im anxious to get it hung :)

i made this card for my stepdad

i used george for this. 

the heart and star were cut at 1~1/2 inches

for the banners i used tag2 (letter L shift) two at 2~1/4 and two at 2~1/2

i roughly hand drew and colored  the letters i wanted to keep the sort of rustic look i wasn't aiming for perfection here. i finished off with twine and buttons.

and here's another. thanks for being so patient :) 

                                   
                         
                                           i used baby steps for this sweet baby boy card

the boat ,duck and star were cut at either 1 OR 1~1/4 inch. i adhered them to 1~1/2 inch panels.

baby and  boy were cut at 1 inch. i inked everything up and finished with a couple of buttons and stamped the word sweet.

this card i actually cased from myself from awhile ago. one of my old daycare girls loved it so i decided to remake it for her.  i used indie art for the ice cream cone cut at 4 inches

i used jasmine cartridge for the corners (rectangle shift blackout) i believe i cut them at 3 and also 3~1/4  inches and layered them. the ones around the cone frame were cut at 4 inches.

and heres the back to school box. inside ive added the tiny ruler and a box of crayons .

i cut the box 2 times at 5 inches. then blue cardstock, using the box/shift key, at 5 inches twice. then cut the patterned paper once at 4 3/4 inches. assembled the box then adhered the blue to the front and back.then adhered the patterned paper atop that.elmo was cut at 4 inches. i used thin pop dots under him

the word school was cut at 1 inch. once in black for a shadow effect.

the word box was cut from the word lunchbox  at 1~1/4 inch (abby3 word) i just cut off the word lunch.again i cut in black for a shadow. the numbers were cut at 3/4 inches.

i hope ive inspired you to get out those cartridges and play :)

i made 2 projects for this challenge. i used "little ghost" for both of these

the first is a test tube holder. you can find directions on splitcoaststampers or utube.

i added googly eyes to the cutelst lil ghosties :)

and added mini marshmallows for the edible ghost poo.i thought i had seen white m&ms which i thought woulda been cute but guess i was wrong because i searched high and low at wallyworld and target to no avail..

the second candy holder i used my cricut and walk in my garden cartridge using the bread tag envelope.i forgot to write down the size sorry about that. i also used a punch to create the scalloped edge. i made the spider by using a hole punch, glued that to the handdrawn spider trail using a white pen for eyes.

here it is opened. i just used a glue dot to hold the candy in place and another glue dot to keep the front closed.

thanks so much for visiting me today i hope ive inspired you to pick up a digi or two and join in our fun challenge :) your sweet words always make me smile thank you for that :) happy crafting!xxxshelly

cricutcardzchallenges color play

happy wednesday! this weeks over at CCC mary has chosen the theme color play . use any cart BUT only use the colors red blue and yellow. (you can use black and white as accent colors.)

 i made a tag. for whatever reason the red photoed pink but its really a muted red. 

my plan is to go to the farmers market and see if i can find some honey from one of our local growers, buy a few jars, put them in a small crate or basket and give as a gift with some sort of bread, with this sweet tag attached. 

i used walk in my garden for the bread tag, and create a critter for the bees and hive. i just adore the critter cart. 

i used my signo pen for some dots on the word happy. i also drew a door to the hive opening.i used colorbox fluid chalk for my inking. 

super simple but i think cute :)
