Totally Tags 'n ATC's - GEMS

Today I am showcasing a tag that I made for a tag swap back in December.  I chose to use all purple and used glitter and gems to bling it up! Now to break down the process I used to create these tags: I used TBBM 2 for the kraft paper tag and inked the edges with a purple ink. I chose lots of shimmery purple papers! Here is the tag cut out with the solid layer and the filigree layer that was cut from Paper Lace. The filigree layer up close. I just ran these through the xyron sticker maker to adhere them to the solid layer.  Since the sticker maker sometimes leaves some sticky residue, I used it to my advantage by adding some glitter in those spots!  I apparently don't have a pic of the snowflake by itself so here it is on the finished tag. This snowflake is cut from the CTMH Artiste cartridge, as is the little label in the middle of it. I finished the tag off with some bling on the edges of the snowflake and some ribbon! I made 15 o...

Craft With Cutters Challenge #138 - All About Dear 'ole Dad!

Hello everyone!! I'm here today to share a simple calendar page with you and all of my friends over at  CRAFT WITH CUTTERS  !  I'm revisiting this project to share it with my new followers - You may remember that I did it last year as one of my regular blog posts. If you have seen any of my previous posts, you probably know that I do a different calendar page each month to showcase on my fridge and then add it to my scrapbook in front of all the pics I took that month.  This month, I decided to show how you can make a calendar grid if you don't have the Designer's Calendar cartridge.  Here is my finished page: Let's break it down a bit. To make my grid, I used my Gypsy, (forgot to take a pic of my screen), and lined up 35 - 1.5"squares to form my calendar. The squares I used are from Art Philosophy because I wanted squares with a little scallop on the corners but any square will work.  After the cut, I trimmed the extra off the edges. ...

Craft with Cutters Challenge #137 - Any cartridge that starts with the letter "S"

Hello everyone! Wednesday's challenge over at CRAFT WITH CUTTERS  was to use any cartridge that starts with "S". My post didn't get completed until today because, for some reason, I couldn't get any pics to upload through Blogger! It finally worked!!  I chose to celebrate summer with a summer layout!  I created my page using the Summer Vacation seasonal cartridge and the Pack Your Bags cartridge. Hope everyone is having a great start to your summer! Mine is packed full of activities but I'm loving it! Hope you found time to hop over to  CRAFT WITH CUTTERS  to see other fun projects made using lots of different Cricut cartridges!
