Exploring Cartridges- Lifes a beach

Today my friend Susan and I are exploring the cartridge LIFE'S A BEACH.

Here is a project I came up with:

Recipe:

Cricut

  *Lifes A beach Cartridge

Paper

  *SEI, DCWV

Brad, Button, Twine, Black Gel Pen

What I liked about this cartridge was:

I really really love the font on this cartridge!  It is super duper cute.  I also love all the

fun cuts this cartridge has.  It is really simple layering and very kid friendly.

Look what my friend Susan created with this cartridge:

Recipe:

Life Is A Beach Cartridge

Computer generated sentiment

Sandy Lion stickers

Eyelet Outlet brads and flower grommet

D.C.W.V, Core'dinations, Echo Park (For the Record) & The Paper Co.

My Minds Eye Lime Twist Twine

Stickles & Glossy Accents

Peachy Keen Stamps

What Susan liked about this cartridge was:

I love Life Is A Beach because it's light hearted and fun.  This cartridge is so versatile.  You can make a fun card or you can make one that is more serious and pretty.  It has a really neat font with it too that kind of reminds me of a tiki hut.  I hope you enjoy this little octopus.  I have been wanting to cut her out for awhile. 

Be sure to stop by Susan's blog for lots of great projects:)

Teach Me Tuesday- Using Hello Kitty Cartridge

I totally forgot to make sure this posted yesterday, good thing

I checked today (even if it one day late)

Question-  How do you layer cuts from HELLO KITTY GREETINGS cricut cartridge?

First off, this cartridge is super cute!  I love all the cuts on this cartridge, great cuts for every season!

When I first got this cartridge, it was a little confusing on how to layer because all the cuts seemed to have a weird shape and didn't look like they were sized right.  After a little playing I realized how super easy it is.

The trick to make it easy when layering is to remember:

TREAT EVERY CUT AS IF IT HAS A SHADOW

I cut the basic Hello Kitty Face out of my cricut and here are all the pieces.

I added the big white face portion remembering that it has a shadow...

Same with the bow pieces

Same as the nose and ear

I cut out the cute butterfly and did the same steps.

I made this super quick layout with these cuts.  Sorry for the lighting in the pictures, I had just a minute to hurry and snap pictures before I had to run errands.

Items Used:

*Hello Kitty Greeting Cricut Cartridge

Paper:  SEI, DCWV

Stamp:  My Pink Stamper (Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set)

I hope this answered some of your questions about layering cuts from Hello Kitty Greetings.

Have a how-to question you want answered?

Send me an email with your question and my friends and I will answer it:)

My Pink Stamper Design Team Day YAY:) Layouts

Today is design team day over at MY PINK STAMPER:)

For our project today, Robyn asked us to make a LAYOUT!

For all my followers, you know I have a Love Hate relationship

with layouts. I don't do them often because the scare me... It is so

much easier for me to make a card. Once I finish a layout I always

tell myself, "That wasn't so bad. I will make them more."

Once again I said that after I made this layout:)

Here Is My Layout:

Recipe:

Calligraphy, Storybook Cartridges

Paper- Nikki Sivils
*I love finding paper lines that take the guess work out of trying to match and coordinate colors.

That's why I love this paper line so much:)

Ribbon

Gems

Gel Pen

Stamp- My Pink Stamper (Faithful Sayings Set)

Be sure to check out the rest of the design team and see all their amazing layout creations:)

I dedicate this post to my facebook friends that challenged me to do a scrapbook layout...

Layouts are hard for me, cards just seem a lot easier to create.

My goal is to make one layout each week (we will see how long that goes;)

Are you more of a card maker or a layout maker?
