What I loved about CutCardStock paper was that the gold glitter paper, as well as the solid green and white shimmer papers, cut like butter on my Cricut. I have often had trouble cutting glitter because other brands can make a mess, clogging up my cutting blade and leaving glitter on my cutting mats. My machine was as clean as the cuts.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAGrUieZS0tTUP4Vgymbfd1br3cq-OTiCAXpgAk0fR82DVgfFY0QqjRemc3RvjbGE5Sg0efxh0NsD7-iHyJ5Fqt7D3EARF2KIlm8IYCLTqo6OknqrHtjhoimOD7vRGcXfrzL9nep10I8bSiEBLu9LRC92KWLjqRywG8ZSKF8Evw9sN7BWSxBSmtM1z0gw/s1080/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20gold.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAGrUieZS0tTUP4Vgymbfd1br3cq-OTiCAXpgAk0fR82DVgfFY0QqjRemc3RvjbGE5Sg0efxh0NsD7-iHyJ5Fqt7D3EARF2KIlm8IYCLTqo6OknqrHtjhoimOD7vRGcXfrzL9nep10I8bSiEBLu9LRC92KWLjqRywG8ZSKF8Evw9sN7BWSxBSmtM1z0gw/s320/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20gold.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEF9JT1t8kOT0HIv42ES2P_23KgXG_oD6FxS4t2Y7_UtEr1uzjDJyM4vBwVBiK6VEBs0SE-wVxNLBUu9tw8I_WkJ7QZ9LHSufc6fi4LImz9p0Yx5kOPvE19vdTN1pf3igWJcPfxwqVn2aA9TK62zuzyWTZScIKYzUtjVw5DrhQ_cfSgSW_B03PurgIT3Y/s1080/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20guy.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEF9JT1t8kOT0HIv42ES2P_23KgXG_oD6FxS4t2Y7_UtEr1uzjDJyM4vBwVBiK6VEBs0SE-wVxNLBUu9tw8I_WkJ7QZ9LHSufc6fi4LImz9p0Yx5kOPvE19vdTN1pf3igWJcPfxwqVn2aA9TK62zuzyWTZScIKYzUtjVw5DrhQ_cfSgSW_B03PurgIT3Y/s320/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20guy.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXZnz4439T7ltoDtpchONim63nj0yiZAT_y2l82I2cefHE2PqiqiCuVpEDy0EDjbyb5mVUq5WPad_DMVSdATtihQheEeH1xc2olWRj1We3fB1ERaLH51DKzmY1UBN6T8vXMOA8StG7BnwUXry48EvxyAgf2CeigrbsK6VIl8MY2WlmCuUlfTG4UdwBN00/s1080/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20rainbow.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXZnz4439T7ltoDtpchONim63nj0yiZAT_y2l82I2cefHE2PqiqiCuVpEDy0EDjbyb5mVUq5WPad_DMVSdATtihQheEeH1xc2olWRj1We3fB1ERaLH51DKzmY1UBN6T8vXMOA8StG7BnwUXry48EvxyAgf2CeigrbsK6VIl8MY2WlmCuUlfTG4UdwBN00/s320/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20rainbow.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2LPcvGLVsgo2M-UFgzWBL0-2Z3bGlpkUU_tV0b57Qts4OM7LcIDTXvwNNvvmQXT_4hDHT4CDTAWCUf0URIxkBWkn5m-1qHM16QLbcTMcgnnCHVU5qBhzDTa7fvHromXo6xrPUFdxo5lm9gJe60uooFc3fcicequdMKpl7vQCsp9NcNGxiRzb6Ht77eD8/s1080/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20ring.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2LPcvGLVsgo2M-UFgzWBL0-2Z3bGlpkUU_tV0b57Qts4OM7LcIDTXvwNNvvmQXT_4hDHT4CDTAWCUf0URIxkBWkn5m-1qHM16QLbcTMcgnnCHVU5qBhzDTa7fvHromXo6xrPUFdxo5lm9gJe60uooFc3fcicequdMKpl7vQCsp9NcNGxiRzb6Ht77eD8/s320/St%20Pat%20Box%20side%20ring.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>

I created what I think is an adorable graduation box card. I just love the little girl graduate and the owl. The patterned paper, believe it or not, are old left over scraps that were laying around, begging to be used! The card stock is American Crafts. The metallic card stock is from Hobby Lobby. The background patterned paper is the sky - a fun element in the throwing of gratin caps into the air.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been working on quilled paper flower shadow boxes lately. They are very time intensive, but I love the final result. The shadow boxes are 8x8 and from Michael's. I used Recollections card stock - the ombre colors were in a pack, but I changed one color group with another Recollections paper pack's gray, so there was more of a contrast between grays. The cricut-cut "friend" vinyl is "My Best Friend" image from the <i>Phrases</i> cartridge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How did I make it? I followed the instructions from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awj4dwOY91Y" target="_blank">this video</a> by CrystalAnn and tweaked a few things for my purposes (for example, I needed one extra flower per row and had to make the flowers tighter to make it fit the frame). </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">CrystalAnn</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> provides the cut flower image, so the sizing is correct for an 8x8 frame. I used a regular (old) quilling tool and then switched off to using the tool in a drill. It did not work! The flowers were way too loose, not to mention getting a hideous paper cut. You need highly wound flowers to fit in the frame, so I had to rewind them. I also ordered new quilling tools after making this lol! I used a glue gun and adhered white card stock to the shadow box backing. Overall, I think it came out nice, even though some flowers are not quite the same size, but that's a beauty of handmade, right?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let's celebrate all things <a href="https://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2019/03/its-easter-anything-goes-theme.html" target="_blank">Easter</a> at Bitten by the Bug2! From Easter eggs and bunnies to religious sentiments, create a project with your cricut on this theme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my project, I cut some Siser vinyl using the Skinny font from dafont.com. It was such a fun project to do! The words that I used for one set were: Happy, Easter, Faith, Risen, Jesus, and Blessed. For the other set: Happy, Easter, Bunny, Hip, Hop and Peeps. I think that they will make great gifts!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For Bitten by the Bug2 challenge, <a href="https://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2019/02/valentine-hearts.html" target="_blank">hearts</a>, I used the <span style="text-align: center;">Sweethearts and Holidays Through the Year Iron-On cartridges and free SVGs. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: center;">The hearts on my card are found on the tiny flowers from Sweetheart's Three Heart Flowers -- as are the wings on the love birds (a free image of the day from Miss Kate Cuttables). Such </span>dainty images - I cut them on the intricate card stock setting and they cut beautifully! And the tiny stems glued on to the card base hold nice too. The silhouette couple was a free image that I saved last year. I don't remember where I got it though. The girl was supposed to be holding a flower - but that was too thin to save, although it did cut.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been holding onto these scraps for a long time because of I love the coordinated colors and the patterns. I also love seeing the different cards that are made with this challenge. And I think that I am going to make some more using more of my coveted scraps. My stamp is from a Stamping' Up! retired set. It's such a great birthday sentiment go-to, and the stamp is die cut with their new rectangular stitched framelits, which is fast becoming a go-to also.</span>Laura Pizzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18210509822172672420noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872838480078128538.post-59503469006124363772019-01-28T07:00:00.000-05:002019-01-28T07:00:04.890-05:00Everything's Coming Up Daisies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We're hosting a <a href="https://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2019/01/snow-challenge.html" target="_blank">snow challenge</a> at Bitten by the Bug2, so pour yourself some hot cocoa and turn on your cricut machine. For this project, I used images for the following cartridges:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Winter Frolic: Snowflake, North Pole and Snowman (M38124)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When its Cold Outside: Snowman "There is Snowman Like You" (M38BD5)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the tiny title, I used the intricate cardstock setting for most of the cuts, especially for the tiny title -- I am surprised that it cut so well. For the glitter paper, the glittered card stock setting. The paper still tore, but I blame the soft paper not the cricut machine. I also used a new glue (to me) for the tiny cuts -- On Point Glue from Joanns Stores. The tiny nozzle worked nice - But I hope that it doesn't become clogged like other brands have. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a cute card for Valentines Day or a just thinking about you.</span><br />

I also added stickles, and I liked the coffee bean texture that it gave the card. Here's a few more, in different color schemes, with different Stamping' Up! sentiments:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the season for giving, time to create some gift tags! Bitten the Bug2 is challenging you to create some <a href="https://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2018/12/holiday-gift-tags.html" target="_blank">holiday tags</a> - from simple to fancy, from Hanukah to Christmas (and any other holiday), show us what you can do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The three tags that I have made include images from a "Christmas" cartridge: a </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "helvetica neue";">Reindeer</span><br />

I used the cricut cartridges </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">Quilted Christmas and Winter Frolic -- and an SVG box card image. Far from perfect, I have some </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">random cuts on Mary's mantle and St. Joseph doesn't seem to have a face because the cuts were too tiny to glue on. But overall these 2 inch cuts came out pretty good. I drew a star in the far corner, and used glitter paper on the angel's wings and the sentiment background.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Decking the halls, and decorating the tree -- make an <a href="https://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2018/11/ornaments.html" target="_blank">ornament</a> with the Cricut for Bitten the Bug2's next challenge. From an actually ornament to card or layout with one (or more), show us what you can make! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I Used Winter Frolic for the Ornaments (labeled Ornament) and merry and bright was an SVG that I either got for free or bought -- I don't remember. I just love the whimsical font! I cut both out of foil card stock, using the foil paper setting. Think that my next card will be these images against a white background. Hope that you will do the challenge with us!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Bitten by the Bug2 challenge for this two week period is to use a <a href="https://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2018/10/use-fall-word.html" target="_blank">fall word</a> in a cricut project. And it can be anything related to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Autumn, Halloween or Thanksgiving. I used Mini Monsters for the Spooktacular title and the rickety fence. The cemetery hill is Happy Hauntings - it's <Grvyrd-s>, and you can't find it under a "graveyard" search. The photos mats are dripped goo - thanks to my old Martha Stewart border punch.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made a bridal shower box card for my husband's cousin. I used a lot of reds and purples because those are the color theme for her wedding. I also matched the couple's hair and skin tone - a fun way to customize a die cut. I added a rhinestone for the engagement ring - and it looks like a big rock! I hope that she likes it!</span><br />

This box card was made using </span><span style="text-align: center;">Simply Charmed (chimney), Winter Frolic (Santa), and a Quilted Christmas (sleigh). I also have my own "Santa Stop Here" SVG file and the box card itself is from SVGCuts.com. I am just in love with this card -- not even sure if I could part with it! What I love most is how the cricut cut the glitter paper so beautifully and there is such detail even in a two inch die cut. I use the Cricut Air and used the intricate cut setting on the gold </span>sleigh and Santa belt buckle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's a two-week long <a href="https://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2018/09/labor-day-career-of-choice.html">Bitten by the Bug2 challenge</a>: in honor of Labor Day, let's create some projects that celebrate what we do and how we do it - from a last day of summer BBQ to what we do for work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's what my husband has been "working" on -- a new bridge to replace an old one. It's hard work, and I am proud of him -- working in all sorts of weather in a physically demanding job. Not for those scared of heights, for sure! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used a "</span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">System Font," which is Arial Black for the title, and the Handy Man (for the tools, construction horse and tool box) and the Destinations cartridges. I cut the bridge and title on silver foil paper. I also used intricate cut on the cricut settings - shocked that the toolbox lines cut so well (my glueing, not so good, lol).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope that you will join in on this challenge. And Happy Labor Day!</span>Laura Pizzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18210509822172672420noreply@blogger.com0
