Man Up!

Hi Everyone, hope you had a fab weekend.

Today is my turn to host at BBTB2 and since I live in a predominantly male household and am always needing male themed cards and gifts  I chose the challenge of Man Up!

to make a bag, box or container with your cricut for that man in your life.

 

 

As you know our son is playing in the Junior Golf World Champs so I decided to go with a golf theme. We have trillions (and no...not exaggerating!!) of golf cards around the house and apparently some are too precious to throw away (and I include hubby in this!!). Problem sorted in the shape of a file folder to keep them in. I used Artiste  and cut it at 5.25" which was a perfect size for the cards.

 

 

I used TBBM2 to make a milk carton (cut at 6") and used a SU punch to make a slot before assembling. Thought this was perfect as a money box and since it is glued together the only way to get to the money is to rip it apart!

 

 

 

I used Life's a Party and my Gypsy for the words and Create a Critter 2 at 2" for the green.

The main paper was Bo Bunny - Noel Stripe.

Washi tape for the edging.

Lots of inking and 3D foam.

The label on the file is also Artiste at .5"

 

I am going to make more of these folders as I think they will look fab as a set.

I was on a bit of a role and I also made some cards but they don't fit this challenge so I will have a 'male' themed blog week!

 

My Design Team sisters really rose to the challenge and they have some wonderful inspiration for you so do check them out. I know you guys love a challenge too, so I can't wait to see your amazing projects.

 

 I am entering these over at FCCB in their 3D challenge.

Nappy Card and Exciting News!!

Good Morning. Hope you had a great weekend and are raring to go for the new week ahead!

We have had an exciting time and I have some great news to share at the end of this post.

 

 

 Monday brings a new challenge over at BBTB2 and the lovely Caroline has asked us to use our cricuts to Welcome  Baby.

 

 

 

I really like how this turned out!

 

I bought CTMH Artiste for this particular cut alone! I couldn't have shared the card with you as it was funny in my world (and my friend whom I made the incontinence knickers for (a special birthday!!)!

But yes....I know...I have a warped sense of humour at times!

 

 

Here is the card opened up.

 

 

I used Artiste for all cuts.

Card at 4"

Pin at .75"

It's a boy at 2"

I inked and machine stitched the card.

Glossy accents on the pin and mirri board for the pin itself.

 

 

I added ribbon and a baby tag - die and sentiment from My Creative Time.

 

 

 

There's a huge variety of projects for your inspiration from my DT sisters so do check them out and come and join in the fun.

 

*****

 

I don't share a lot of personal information on my blog but some of you may remember me mentioning our son, Ossian, took up golf last Easter. He is 12 and now has a handicap of 11.7

 

On Saturday he qualified to play in the  Asian World  Junior  Championships in Jakarta!

We are immensely proud of and excited for him.

It takes place at the beginning of June .

I will be round to catch up with you all this week.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

This is my second post of the day. For my FCCB card, click here.

 

Over at BBTB2,the fabulously talented Jeri has set this week's challenge.We want to see your cricut made Halloween treat containers.

 

 

I used Artiste and cut the coffin at 5" and the skeleton at 4.5".

 

 

The skeleton is layered up and Eek is cut at 1".

 

 

The sentiment is from Treats for My Sweet from My Creative Time.

 

 

I had a chocolate skeleton to add to the inside of this box but someone got to it before me!!!!

 

There's tonnes of inspiration over at BBTB2. I do hope you will come and play along.

 

Thanks for looking.

Here is my pumpkin bag....

 

 

The bag is cut at 4" from Artiste.

It's embossed,sanded and inked.

Good Morning Crafty Friends.

Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2. My very sweet and talented friend,Stephanie, is host and

has chosen a shaped card as our theme,using any cricut cart.

 

I have a plethora of Dad cards to make for next week (ok...maybe a slight exageration...but I need

a couple at least!!)

 

 

 

Photo removed for publication.

 

 

 

 

I used CTMH Artiste.

My card is cut at 4.5" and envelope at 4.75".

I cut the envelope slightly bigger because I add so much dimension to my card.

What wonderful projects!! I love the file folders - perhaps as I was hunting for something like that for my desk at work!! Nothing I found came anywhere close to yours! Great pencil box too!

My favourite stationary item is little notepaper - especially when it has a sweet little picture on it.

 

 

Congratulations Kate!

 

Thanks for stopping by.
