Exploring Cricut - Daily Post

Happy Wednesday.  Hope your week is going good so far and it is nice and warm where ever you are.  I just got home from Disney yesterday where my daughter was swimming in the pool most of Tuesday afternoon.  Today the high here is going to be 17!   Brrrrrr!

Today's card is one of those I am proud of.  You know how once in a while you get those cards that just makes you happy?  This one makes me happy.  I thought it came out pretty cute.  I think I may make an extra one just to have in my stash.  ;)

I used:
Carts:  Plantain Schoolbook, Mini monograms, Christmas Cheer and Create a Critter
Sentiment stamp:  My Pink Stamper
Face Stamp:  Peachy Keen Critter Large face
Paper:  coredinations, SU and stash

For you Pipsqueak!

 Happy Tuesday!  Two posts in one week!  Is the earth shaking?  ;)   I was practicing this weekend with Make the Cut and my cameo.  I have seen so many cute SVGs out there lately that I just can't stand it.  I am determined to figure this combo out so I can cut these files.

I decided to start with this cutie!  Isn't she just precious?  It is the Pip Squeak Flower file from SVG Cutting Files.  My daughter had a student teacher start in her class yesterday so I wanted to make her a quick card to welcome her.  Took me a few cuts to get everything out, but I am starting to get the hang of this software.  Just guess I need more practice.  ;)

Baby it's cold outside Challenge

Happy Monday.    Today is a new challenge at Exploring Cricut.  Our challenge is called "Baby It's Cold Outside".  You are to create a card, layout, or papercraft with anything to do with snow or winter.  Just remember you must use a cricut machine and cricut die cuts for this challenge.  What reminds you of winter?  You can link your project by Saturday, January 19 at 10 pm eastern time.

It is hard to think of winter with the temps that have been here in the past few days, in the 50s and all the snow we had is snowing.  Big winter thaw going on here.  But I have a feeling the cold will be back soon.

I wanted to go with a cart I have not used in a while and I think I have only used Smily Cards once.  I rely so much on my books for the color layers that I have a problem if I don't have a booklet.  ;)  Luckily I found something on the web and was able to put my little snowman together pretty easy.

Supplies:
Carts:  Plantain Schoolbook, Smily Cards and Elegant Edges
Paper:  SU and Coredinations
Snowflake embossing folder
Happy Winter stamp:  My Pink Stamper
Ribbon, inking
