Tuesday at Exploring Cricut and More

Hello! Did you get a chance to join in our Christmas in July Blog Hop? If not, you still have time to check it out and leave us some love! Today I am filling in for Mandy at Exploring Cricut and More. My sister has a birthday this coming week and since I had to go back home for a funeral, and  I decided to take her birthday with me. I love the box cards and this is the second one I have done now since I had my Cricut Explore for a few days. I used the SVG Cuts file Florals Box Card from the Boxed Card collection. I used the Echo Park pattern paper and cardstock from Bazzill and Michaels. I also used some pearls from Kaiser Crafts.  I love how they give you the measurements for the cards and elements so it is so easy to whip up!  Try one today!  Be sure to enter our challenge this week for lots of goodies!!!

Exploring Cricut and More Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome! If you have arrived here from Michelle S's blog you have reached the last stop before going back to the main blog.  I hope that you have enjoyed all the great projects our DT has shown you today.  Now, I am sharing a few things.  I am not trying to be an over achiever, but love Christmas projects and got a little carried away on this challenge lol.  I hope you will bear with me and look at all these goodies and maybe you will want to make some yourself.  At the end, you will see some blog candy I am giving away this week too.

For my first project I am sharing, I used my Silhouette machine and made these adorable Snowman box, Santa card, and small gift box from SVG Cuts Christmas Open House set.  The Snowman was not hard when you actually watch Mary put it together and not try to do it on your own.  One thing I like is she shows you exactly how each fold goes and makes it easier.  The hat comes off and you can fill with a treat.  The card was super easy and I used the cuttlebug to emboss his beard and mustache.  The box is actually one piece of cardstock and the band slides off and you can fill it with goodies.  Makes great boxes for some candy when you want to give someone a little gift without breaking the budget!!!

Now this is my favorite project of all.  I made this for my granddaughter Mary-Kate because she loves the Elf movie.  Now a few others in the family want one too lol.  I used my Silhouette Cameo for this project too and purchased the files at the Silhouette store.  I used the verse file#36164 and the elf feet file#23767.  I used HTV and my heat press.  The red is glitter vinyl which makes it pop.  Pictures do not do this justice at all.

Well this is a last minute quick project.  I got a Cricut Explore this week and made these two projects very quickly. I used the canvas design to lay out the bag and the picture which is a feature I like.  The bag the images are from Stretch Your Imagination and TC December 25.  The picture is cardstock and the images are from TC December 25 and the frame is from Dollar Tree.  Nice inexpensive gift for someone.  Since I had only done the card you make when you start the Explore, not too bad.  I then ventured with svg files that you saw in my Sunday project.

Now for a little blog candy.  Please leave me a comment and let me know which was your favorite project and be sure to be a follower of my blog to be considered for the prize.  I can only send in the US due to shipping cost.  Please make sure to post your email too.  Winners will be announce on Sunday, August 3.
Now you have finished the hop so go back to Exploring Cricut and More and leave us a comment.  I hope to see you enter the challenge too for a chance to win other prizes.  If you missed any of the DT blogs, here is the list to go hopping!

Sunday Project at Exploring Cricut and More

Hello and happy Sunday to all!  Today I have the post over to my other blog Exploring Cricut and More and I am sharing this adorable card I created with the Cricut Explore machine and SVG Cuts Box Cards Strawberry card.  I love all the cards in this set, but this might be my favorite, could be cause I love strawberries. I just used pattern paper from Michaels and cardstock too.  I did run the berries through the cuttlebug to give them the seed look.  I haven't stamped the front yet because I am not sure what I am going to use it for yet.  This card is so easy and it was done with no problems at all.  Leo and Mary tell you the size your cuts need to be and all you have to do is just go in and size and it comes out perfect.  I added a little stickles and called it a card!  Believe it or not, but this is the second thing I did with the Explore when I got it.  I first made the card they have you make and jumped right in.  I prepared myself with watching lots of videos and special thanks to Ken and Joy for making them so easy!!!  Be sure to join us tomorrow for a new challenge and we are having a blog hop too so don't miss it or you might miss out on some great prizes.

Blog Post for PPBN Designs today

Welcome! Today I have the blog post over at www.ppbndesigns.blogspot.com and I have created a couple of her new svg files.  The first one is a quick and easy shaped Birthday Girl card.  I loved how easy this was to cut and put together.  I used my Silhouette Cameo and just cardstock and added a little stickles.

My second project for today is a scrapbook page I created with a new file called Off to Kindergarten and used some elements from one of the older files called First Day of Preschool.  For this layout I used paper from a Me and My Big Ideas school stack, Michaels cardstock and added some ribbon.  My little granddaughter will be going to kindergarten in about 3 weeks so I am ready for that first picture.  I used my Silhouette Cameo for this one too.  I did receive my Cricut Explore today so I will be working on learning it and creating in both!!!  Love my toys!  Stop over to PPBN Designs and check out all the great files for the crafter on a budget!  Take a look at her fantastic club too!
