Card Set and Door Hanger

Here is a card set and door hanger I made for a swap that I am participating in.

I found the directions for this card box from Split Coast Stampers. I love this paper. I found it at Hobby Lobby. I used Accent Essentials for the scalloped squares and Opposites Attract for the "K".
I altered this door hanger for my partner. I painted this with acrylic paint in sky blue. I cut the snowman from Stretch Your Imaginations using the shadow feature. I added an orange gem for the nose and used Rain Dots for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. I added snow flakes using white acrylic paint. I used Modge Podge to glue the snowman onto the door holder. I then added snow using wall spackling. I just frosted it on and waited for it to dry. Once dry, I painted it with white acrylic paint. I then used Modge Podge to cover the whole thing and sprinkled Martha Stewart glitter while it was wet. Once dry I added a ribbon and snowflake. I really like the way this came out.

Saundra's BOAB

I am finally posting pictures of the items I made for the Box On A Budget swap I participated in on the Cricut message board. It is such a fun swap and really takes me outside of my comfort zone.

This a picture of the ATC, altered binder clips, book mark, card candy, tags, and altered notebook I did for my partner.



This is the altered door hanger for my partner's favorite holiday.

I altered a pop-top can and filled it with my partner's favorite goodies and I also alterd an acrylic picture frame to be a post it note holder.


This is an altered picture frame. I really love the way this turned out.

I made a note card holder and filled it with cards, tags, and small note cards.
This is a window frame card and cuts that I made for my partner.

This was great fun. Thanks for looking at my pics!

July MCPT Challenge

I made this card for the July MCPT challenge on the Cricut message board. I loved this image so much I went out and purchased the stamp! The only Cricut cut on this card is the tag under the sentiment. I cut the tag from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I used Prisma pencils and mineral spirits to color the image. I added some stickles to the flower and glass and I attached skittles with some glue dots. The sentiment is from Stampin Up!.

June MCPT Challenge

This was made for the June MCPT Challenge on the Cricut message board. I gave it to my father-in-law for Father's Day. The font is from Plantin Schoolbook. The paper is from DCWV Animal Cracker's mat stack and I used a little stickles in the water and on the letters.

Turtle Birthday Card

This is a card that I made for my niece. I love this turtle from the Pooh and Friends Cricut cartridge. Here is what I used to create this card:

• Pooh and Friends Cricut cartridge
• Pooh Font Criscut cartridge
• DCWV Nana's Kids mat stack
• Color Box pigment ink ~ Brown
• Martha Stuart pigment ink ~ spring green

I used Design Studio to weld all my cuts together on the shadow feature and then cut with my Cricut Expressions.

ZooBalloo Birthday Card

I made this for my nephew for his birthday. Here is what I used:

• ZooBalloo Cricut cartridge
• Design Studio
• K&Co Classic K McKenna Mat Pad
• K&Co Hopscotch Boy Mat Pad
• Color Box pigment ink ~ Brown

I used the monkey , grass, and vine cuts. I don't remember the sizes as I used Design Studio to lay it all out. The sentiment on the out side is computer generated. It says, "Happy Birthday" on the inside which was also cut from ZooBallo0.
