Hello everyone!
Here we are back on the blog.
After opening my Cricut Joy the very first project I made was of course an insert card. Cricut has some great free projects you can use to make cards, home decor items, and iron-on projects with the Joy Machine. I’m working on making some labels next.
Hi Everyone,
I’m super excited to share with you a video on how to use the Sizzix Fold-A-Long Owl card die set. I love making shaped cards. Reminds me of a few year ago designing them on my Cricut.
Today’s video shows how to put the card together and includes an added touch of adding pattern paper. Love pattern paper shaped cards.
Enjoy and I apologize for the shaky camera. I think I have that problem solved.
You can find the list of supplies used below the video and after all the other photos.

Here are a few more photos.
This is the first card I made using the Fox die set. I die cut the set in white cardstock and then inked it with distress ink.
It’s pretty messing with adhesive overload, but I will try this method again.
and this one is my favorite fox done with pattern paper.
Here are the supplies I used to make these cards if you are interested in purchasing them for your own collection:
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed and see you back here soon. 
Hi All,
I hope you are having a wonderfully relaxing weekend. I’ve been having a ball, I’ve gotten some much needed crafting time. Lovin’ it.
Today is a “Miss You” card using the Home Decor Cricut Cartridge.
Supplies: Home Decor Cricut Cartridge, Oh la la pattern paper by My Minds Eye, Paper Trey Ink Aqua Mist Cardstock and satin ribbon, Paper Trey Ink Vintage Cream Cardstock, Bazzil Brown Cardstock, Fiskars Scallop Punch, SU! Word Window Punch, SU! Label Punch, My Pink Stamper Stamps, ATG Adhesive Gun.
Happy Tuesday. Today’s tip is 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock….
My favorite basic white card stock is by Georgia Pacific (found at Walmart). It’s great for the base of cards, making flowers and cutting with your Cricut….
For Copic coloring I prefer Neenah Cardstock….rich and creamy
For colored cardstock I’m Paper Trey Ink all the way. The quality is amazing and I love the color selection as well as being able to order 12 sheets for $3 or 24 for $5. They also have matching ribbon ;0)
Storage:
When I went to Ikea a few weeks ago I picked up these (2/$3.99) magazine files.
Inside the magazine files, I use file folders from Michael’s dollar spot to separate my cardstock by color. When I first started I was writing the name of the company/color on the folder, but found that if I just cut a slit in the plastic that they come in I can just slide my cardstock out and keep the label inside the original package. This way I don’t have to relabel the files if I decided not to reorder that same color.
I keep my scraps right in front of the original package, so I reach for those first 🙂
Stay Tuned next week for 12×12 cardstock and pattern paper 🙂
Hugs,
Happy Monday Everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend. Me…well when the Advil was kicked in to help my toothache it was good. I had to make a run to the dentist last Monday because I lost a filling in a wisdom tooth (long store on why I still have my bottom wisdom teeth) and ever since then the pain has been getting a little worse everyday…WAH! Needless to say I’ll be calling the dentist office as soon as they open this morning….
To keep my mind off the pain…I made these cute little Easter treat baskets for my nieces and nephews.
Hugs,
