16th Birthday Fashionista Purse

I made this purse gift holder for my granddaughter's 16th birthday.  She's more goth than girly and her favorite colors are black and purple. I didn't mat the inside because she is going to use this as an autograph keepsake from her birthday party at Great America's FrightFest this weekend.  Here's some pics and here's the link to how to make the purse.

 I used a black ribbon to loop over a button for the closure on this bag.

 The LOVE Square is a weld Home Accents Solutions and George, The Ha-P-Day is a weld from Smiley faces.

"Things That Go Bump in the Night!" - Cricut Cardz Challenge #91

Hey, Cricut Cardz Challenge is at Mary's CardzTV!!! This challenge is a Halloween theme, so you know I can't pass that up.  The rules were  to make a card for Halloween with the spookiest, scariest image you can find on any cartridge(s), and using  any colors you’d like.  Here's my entry.

 There are actually five different Cricut cuts and a lot of bling.

Cricut cuts:

Martini Glass: From my Kitchen

Devil head: Smiley Faces

Witch with broom tag: Wrap It Up

Wave #1 Nickelodeon SpongeBob Squarepants (top of glass)

Wave#2 Nickelodeon SpongeBob Squarepants (middle of glass)

Hope you join the fun.

Cupcake Challenge at CardzTV

Sweet, sweet Mary is having a card challenge at CardzTV.  She wants cupcake cards.  Me, being a true friend and lover of anything sweet, felt really obliged to make her a chocolate cupcake - card that is.  Hmm, wonder if I could get a real cupcake to her?  Anyway here's my entry.

 I used the cupcake from Smiley Faces.  I had fun using all kinds of tools.  I used my corrugater to make the cupcake wrapper.  I used the Cuttlebug "Divine Swirls" to make the frosting and the surprise inside the card.  I used Glossy Accents to make the swirls, music notes and dots shinny.  The cupcake wrapper and frosting are mounted on foam tape.

 And what does make this cupcake sing?

Well, ice cream of course!  I used the frosting cut again in white for the ice cream.  The bowl is cut from the A Child's Year cartridge.  I removed the spoon from the image.  It was too small!  The cut makes a slit in the bowl which worked out really nice to slide in the ice cream.  I had to trim just a little bit from the bottom of the ice cream so it wouldn't show out the bottom of the bowl.

The papers are from the DCWV Stack #7 and Craft card stock.  The strawberry is a sticker from the Dollar Tree.  I inked the edges with a cocoa "cat's eye pad"  I hope you can tell the difference between the "Glossy Accents" papers on the front and the same paper on the inside that I did not enhance. It's really cloudy here - and snowing again, to the pictures are not the greatest.  Here are the Gypsy screen shots:
I removed the smiley face before cutting the pieces.

 Sorry, this one is so blurry.  I just wanted to show where the bowl was located on ACY; which is on the fourth row down and the ninth column over.

 

This is the actual image of the bowl.

So, Mary I hope you like this cupcake.  It was fun to make.  Now I have to go and bake something sweet!!LOL

Hugs,

Sue

Christmas Card #9

This is another card made from the Smiley Cards Cartridge.  It is using the star card which is found on the top row under the apple.  I cut the star card at 5 inches in green for the base.  I then cut a single 5 inch star in red for Santa's suit and hat, and one in black for his boots.  I used the Santa from Doodlecharms (pg. 68) for the face.  I cut one more star from designer paper that is covered with HO HO HO for the inside.  I will print a sentiment out on  white to put on that paper.  This is a little flimsy since the card is only connected at the top point of the star, but I think all the layers of paper will help hold it together. I added some texture with white ricrac, White Lace and Platinum Stickles, and white Liquid Applique for the beard.

Christmas Card #8

Wow am I behind in posting.  Sorry.  I've been working on scout and school projects.   Here's Christmas Card #8.  Not a Santa this time...LOL.  But a snowman.  When I updated my Gypsy last week, I received the free cartridges including Smiley Cards.  This is a card from that cartridge.  I really cheated on this one because Mr. Snowman is actually a design on the DCWV Christmas Paper.  I used the frame card on the Smiley Cards that's for the flower on the third row second image from the left next to the mushroom.  I cut it at 11 by 4.25 inches as the frame card, then I hide the window and cut another as the support card.  If you had thicker card stock and weren't using a sheet of designer paper as the window, you could probably skip the support card.  The frame is quite large, so the card base seemed rather flimsy to me, so I add the support layer as the inside.  I cut the square of designer paper at 4 by 5 inches and sandwiched it in between.  Then added the bling.  I really like these snowflake buttons.  I purchased a bag of 100 different sized ones, and they are really nice accents.  On these I used a gem, but I like to tie a floss bow in them also.  The silver flower is from a Christmas pick.
