TEXAS San Antonio Alamo Tag

Used Destinations Cricut cartridge and Cricut CraftRoom to design the TEXAS San Antonio Alamo images. Designed in the Cricut CraftRoom and then exported it/uploaded it to my Gypsy. Had not used the Cricut Craft Room since it was first created. Received the email indicating that Cricut CraftRoom now worked with the Gypsy which I was waiting for. Gave it a try and after a couple of tries I got the file on my Gypsy. You have to save the file in Gypsy format onto your computer. You have to close the Cricut CraftRoom. Then you start Cricut Sync program and export/upload to the Gypsy.

Background stamped the Tag with a deadbeat Designs Texas stamp. Stamped the sentiment 'TEXAS' with a deadbeat Designs stamp that has alot more on the stamp but only needed the word 'TEXAS' part. Used faux stitching to border the word 'TEXAS.' Used Spellbinder Star die for the Stars. Recycled some string/rope for Tag.

Cricut cartridge: Destinations 2 1/2" San Antonio Alamo
ink: Memento - Rich Cocoa

Lighthouse Card MFP Simple Salutation Ch#5 Bldg

Today is my start of 2nd month being part of Mark's Finest Papers team hosting the Simple Salutations challenge. This week Challenge #5 is Buildings.

Again,  I challenged myself to create a card using a sketch and on a new technique which is to mask part of a stamp.

Sketch is from House That Stamps Built (see below). Used MFP Lighthouses stamp and masked off the trees. First time for me masking off part of a stamp. Used a small piece of cardstock held over the part that I did not want stamped on card; thus masking it off.

Used Kraft cardstock as base. Used Paper Pizazz scrapbook paper that had a Lighthouse image on it. Scanned the scrapbook paper onto americana off-white Kraft cardstock for two 5" x7" pieces (one to be used on front of card & 1 to be used on inside of card). Trimmed the americana off-white Kraft cardstock with scanned image. Stamped the MFP lighthouse. Added Spellbinder pennants. Stamped "Happy Birthday" sentiment on one of the pennants. Punched/embossed the Martha Stewart (MS) Sand Dollars. Added the Sand Dollars to front of card. Added a 2nd piece of americana off-white Kraft cardstock with scanned lighthouse image to inside of card. Added the Starfish that are punched out of center of MS Sand Dollars to inside of card.

Front of card:

Inside of card: 

ink: Memento Rich Cocoa

sea/ocean scrapbook paper
sand paper scrapbook paper
2. Life is a Beach Cricut cartridge 4 1/2" Lighthouse Square Card cut 4 times - red core'dinations cardstock, DCWV yellow cardstock, white cardstock & sand paper scrapbook paper
3. 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" plastic from Cricut cartridge - for window placed inside on left side behind the Lighthouse with an opening on left side near bottom to slide the pocket card piece thru
4. cut Lighthouse light piece in larger size using scissors out of white cardstock
5. hand calligraphy of 'pull her for light" on white piece cut in step 4
6. place the "pull her for light" white piece thru the opening in the plastic & when you want the light you pull it thru the opening
7. add sea/ocean scrapbook paper to inside right side to view thru plastic
8. Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners for tag sentiment
9. Memento Tuxedo Black ink
10. MFP Lighthouse stamp - sentiment "Light the Way!"
11.  Darcie's JCS165 - sun stamp
12. add sun to inside right side above the sea/ocean, did not put it all the way at top since I wanted to represent the sun going down and the Lighthouse light coming on
