Inchies

I have not blogged in over a week! I thought for sure this would be something I could do daily. It's hard! Before blogging my crafts I could create like nobody's business but now I have like "crafters block". I did finish up some inchies for a swap so I will at least post those. These were super simple thanks to my Cricut! An "inchie" is an inch block or shape decorated however you want. These are great embellishments for just about any paper craft. The theme that I just finished were "school inchies" Next I will finish up "birthday inchies". I joined a swap for these so I made 50 of the same ones and will get back 1 of mine and 49 other ones. This was a big swap! Swaps are fun because you get to see other peoples talent and it feels good to make something and KNOW all your hard work will be appreciated. Here are the "school" inchies:


Blackboard with an apple and chalk:







This one is a notebook paper and pencil. I printed the blue lines on the paper with Microsoft Publisher then cut it out with my cricut. The pencil I cut out with my C then colored it with crayola colored pencils and then covered it with Glossy Accents.





~Enjoy~

Email Subscription 2

Testing to see if I get my email subscriptions. I haven't been getting them with the widget I have so I decided to try feedburner directly to see if this corrects the problem. If it does (I'll let you know) you will need to re-subscribe with the new email subscription box, I deleted the old one.

Back bug flourish thinner version

I do not really like the flourish on the back of my bug because it's too thick. For those that agree with me I made it thinner. If you like the thick one you can download that one still too. I'll post pics of the both.

This is the thick flourish




This is the thinner flourish:

Pink Bug decorated.

As you know my original Cricut Expression I painted pink. I wanted a pink one REALLY bad so I painted it. Then Provo Craft decided to come out with a pink one. At first I wasn't going to get one but my DH got it for me for Christmas (yea!). I put vinyl flourishes on it that I made using inkscape I then cut it out using Sure-Cuts-A-Lot. If you have SCAL you are more than welcome to download and cut the flourishes for yourself. This is the flourish that is on the front of my bug. The little pieces at the top are scraps.







This is the back of my bug. It has another flourish I made. You can get that one here.





On the side of the Expression are little cricket bug heads. They aren't colored I guess they're embossed. I was able to get a StoreFront cricut cartridge and on it has the bug head. I cut out two of those with the pink vinyl and placed it over the embossed white one on both sides.







On the curves of the flourishes I'm going to put rhinestones. They look like the bling on the bottom right corner of my bug.

Email Subscription

Testing to see if I get an email when I do a new post. This means if you enter your email address everytime I write a new post it gets delivered to your email. Now you don't have to check my blog daily for updates it will come to you!

My First .scut file!

I made a practice flourish for my bug. Now I am testing to see if I can share the file. The black is the preview of the cut and the pink is the actual cut on pink vinyl, placed on my bug. I'm not that fond of it but I wanted to practice with inkscape, SCAL, media fire and clickable links .

Just Cricut!

During "My Pink Stamper Live" (www.mypinkstamper.com) someone made the comment on singing "just cricut" instead of "beat it" (by Michael Jackson). I couldn't get it out of my head so I decided to write a song lol

and a one and a two and a one, two three, four:

V1-
They told her all about this really cool thing
One that cuts paper, it's a cool machine
It slices and it dices, it's so addicting
Just cricut, just cricut

Her mouth began to water, her finger to twitch
The cut button bright, she had to just touch it
The sparkle in her eye, paper by her side
Just cricut, you know you want to

Chorus
Just Cricut, cricut
No one wants to lose their cricut
Show him how fun the cricut can be
You can get one at Hobby Lobby
Just cricut
Just cricut
Just cricut
Just cricut


V2
The cartridges so great, she had to have 10
Her husband said "Dear that ain't happenin"
She looked him in the eyes her words were very clear
Just cricut, just cricut

"I'm getting base camp and winter woodland
Pleeaase no lip from you Mr macho man."
With fire in her eyes, his wallet in her hand
Just cricut, she had to have it!

Chorus
Just Cricut, cricut
No one wants to lose their cricut
Show him how fun the cricut can be
You can get one at Hobby Lobby
Just cricut
Just cricut
Just cricut
Just cricut

Chorus
Just Cricut, cricut
No one wants to lose their cricut
Show him how fun the cricut can be
You can get one at Hobby Lobby
Just cricut
Just cricut
Just cricut
Just cricut

Just thought I would share how weird I am. I LOVE being weird!!

Fun with Spray Paint

So before Provo Craft came out with a rainbow of Cricut colors I painted mine. I also painted some other things (come on I had an ENTIRE can of spray paint lol). I thought I would show the end results. After I posted a picture people wanted to know how so I did a video. I think I will post that here too....maybe...

Very First Post!

Very first post!!

I hope to use this blog to show my creations, mostly cricut (hence the name ;)). This is mostly a test to see if I can even blog!
