Sweater Weather

  Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and I'm sharing this card using the Diana-Sweater Weather stamp set.

I started this card with a standard A2 card base and added the circle mat cut from the Shaker Basics 1 die set.

I added some ribbon around the middle and stamped the sentiment.

I stamped and colored Diana with Copic Makers and added her to the card on pop dots.

Technique Tuesday

   Hello my crafty friends!

It's Candace from Candi O. Designs to share with you a Technique this Tuesday!!!  I'm going to show how you can use your stencils to emboss paper.  The background paper is embossed using Falling Leaves Stencil.

 

I cut down a piece of cardstock paper and put it through my Gemini die cut machine.  

I sandwiched it:

-clear cutting plate

-rubber embossing mat

-cardstock paper

-stencil

-plastic shim

-clear cutting plate 

To add to the embossed cardstock, I inked with vintage photo distress oxide.

Next I used the rectangle die from Shaker Basics #1 and cut pattern paper from Autumn Life pack.

I also cut out the Give Thanks Die with the leaves and stamped, outlined Krissy.

Hope you enjoyed this technique and have a great day!

Treat Holder Tutorial

 Hi everyone! This is GiGi from The Cricut Bug and I'm sharing this treat holder tutorial.

I started this project using the tag shaped die from the Shaker Basics 2.

I lined up the die on one edge of the paper and ran it through the cutting  machine just to the end, not going all the way.

Then I took the die off, flipper the paper, and lined the die up again on the side of the paper, cutting to the end but not all the way through.

After I got both sides cut, I trimmed the centers where it was still connected with a pair of scissors.

Using my score board, I scored in each side at 3 7/8 and added the mat layer from the Shaker Basics 2 die set.

I cut the banner pieces using the Banner Dies and cut out the center swirl from the Candy Cane Frame Die.

I punched a 3/4 inch circle and 1 inch circle and glued all the pieces together, adding Stickles over the entire thing.

I stamped the sentiment onto the banner using the Stacey-Sign Board stamp set and used a hole punch to punch the hole for the ribbon closure.

I stamped and colored the Sweet Christmas Wishes Digital Stamp and added Stickles to her dress and bow.

I added the bag of M&M's to the inside and tied it closed with some ribbon, adding the candy onto the ribbon with pop dots.

To finish, I added the banner die and pop dotted the girl to the front.

I hope you all liked my project for today and thanks for visiting!
Have a great day!
