New Paper Die Cuts at Miss Kate Cuttables

Hello Everyone,

Thank for stopping by today. This is a special post for Miss Kate Cuttables because the Design Team has been asked to use these new paper die cuts. They are FABULOUS! You get a pack of various diecuts ~ all by theme. No need to print or cut yourself. How easy it that. The most difficult part is choosing which ones you want.

I chose the Baby Girl Paper Die Cuts. You can make a bunch of cards and/or layouts with this one package. I have a couple more laying on my desk ready to be adhered together. I wanted to get these done because we have a baby shower at school on Thursday for a 3rd grade teacher.

I had a few of these MFT die cuts in pile on my desk, so it was meant to be. I just added the stamped sentiment from my stash.

Another pink one! I used foam dots to add dimension to all the pieces.

Hope you will check out all the paper die cuts at Miss Kate Cuttables. They are perfect when you need a last minute card, you are in a hurry, or you want to make a bunch.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Welcome Polka Dots and Chevron

Happy Tuesday!

It's Die Cuttin' Diva day!

This Week's Challenge...

~ Polka Dots and/or Chevron ~

Here is my Design Team project...

A co-worker asked me to make a baby card, but she loves them personalized. I love polka dots and chevrons, so what a great opportunity to combine the two.

I used My Favorite Things dies ~ Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames and the onesis was cut on my Cameo. The personalized info was printed on my computer then cut with a MFT stitched circle die. The stamp  ~ Scrappy Moms Stamps, the bow, and sequins were added last.

I hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Polka Dots and/or Chevrons" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team projects.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

Welcome Baby! (No Baby Here!)

Happy Wednesday! It's Hump Day! 

For me...that means it is getting closer to cruise time (I know we just went during Spring Break, but we couldn't pass up this deal.). Hubby and I are going on a cruise without the kids. First time ever! It will sort of be like a second honeymoon...23 years later. I am very excited since it will be fun in the sun and we have a couple excursions planned. 

Today I want to share Project of the Day #19. Not to bad...I have been posting almost every day! Sharon...I think this was the best challenge you started! Another goal I set for myself was to try a bunch of different sketches and here is a new one I found. I made a baby card because it always seems to be baby season.

I used the following sketch by Atlantic Hearts.

I used papers from my scrap pile because I now have two places that they are accumulating. I have a problem with throwing even little pieces away since you might need it one day. You just never know! The rattle is from KaDoodle Bug Designs (Precious Baby Girl set) and the stamped sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps ~ More Mini Messages.

Challenges:

Crafty Creations ~ Anything Goes

Little Scrap Pieces ~ Show It Off Saturday

Hope you enjoy your day! I have a list that I need to tackle, so I can feel as if I accomplished something today. Be sure to stop by Mee Mee's Creations, so you can see who inspired me to do a project a day this summer.

Today is the last day...Stop by my FB page for a RAK giveaway. Winner will be announced June 22nd (this evening).

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Girl Blocks

Happy Saturday!

I am enjoying the day while trying to get caught up with Design Team projects. I can't wait to share what I created. I have to take a few pictures still and

 then load them for cropping. In the meantime I am going to share this baby shower card I created for a co-worker.

This file came from KaDoodle Bug, so it is super easy to cut and assemble. It is also available in the boy format.

I selected the pink and lime green papers first since those are the baby colors, I embossed the pattern paper with a paisley folder, added the baby's monogram (I used Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge for the initials), and then added sparkly green gems.

Love the green bows and pacifier (although my kids never used a pacifier).

Challenges:

2 Sisters Challenge ~ Baby

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Embossing

Hope you enjoy your weekend. Soon I will need to take a break from crafting to do laundry (if only we didn't need to wear clothes, huh?) and grade some essays (not the fun part of teaching!)

Stay Creative,

Georgiana 

Fantabulous Guest Spotlight and New Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends (and Cricut Users),

 

Today I am a Guest Designer at Fantabulous Cricut. What a great honor to be asked to share your creativity with others. Yesterday I was featured in the Sunday Spotlight, today I get to share the new challenge, and next week I will be in a final inspirational Cricut post.

 

This week's challenge....

3 Pattern Papers

That is SUPER easy for me! I love to layer paper!

I made a set of personalized baby cards for a co-worker.

This first card is for a new baby boy and I used 3 Birds on Parade for the darling little chick.

I added Aqua Splash crinkle ribbon by 3 Girl JAM, a handmade stick pin that I created, yellow skittles by Carri, and his name. 

 

I typed his name on my computer at 12 font (Lucinda Calligraphy) and used a 1 inch circle punch so it would be centered.

 

This second personalized card is for the big brother.

Other Materials:

SEI paper ~ Chick-a-doo assortment pack

teal and white card stock

Lacey Circle Spellbinders

teal gems

wiggly eyes

 

Hope you will join us at Fantabulous Cricut for this week's challenge...

Use 3 pattern papers.

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

It is Baby Season Too!

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Not only is it Christmas time, but it must be baby season. I just made a couple baby cards for a co-worker and here are a few more for another. December seems to be a busy month...my sister and two of her girls have birthdays this month. How many people do you know with December birthdays? Do you know anyone expecting?

 

Baby Cards...

Each card is personalized with a Tiny Tag from My Craft Spot.

 I used Nana's Nursery paper by DCWV for this card. I do not have too many sheets left from the stack, but there was enough for this sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The crinkle ribbon bow is my favorite and that Trendy Twine color (Watermelon Taffy) matches that polka dot paper perfectly. The 2 1/4" onesie was cut from Wrap it Up.

I like this sketch, but have the tendency not to make square cards because of mailing them. What size can you use for regular postage?   

Here is the other card, which was fun to create because I wanted to use a stroller and I found this 2 1/4" cut with a baby girl on Simply Charmed. It fits inside the inked circle, which was cut at 3". Such a cute baby smile!

I used my bow maker for the double bows.

Other Materials:

K&Company paper

black and cream card stock

Lacey Circles Spellbinder

yellow pearls

pink gems

pink and yellow buttons

pink and yellow crinkle ribbon

  

Unfortunately, there are not any challenges for baby theme right now. If I missed one, please let me know!

 

This weekend I will be part of a festive hop, so come back for some Jolly Old St. Nick projects!

 

Happy Holidays,

Georgiana

New Baby for a Proud Family

This past weekend I was busy working on LOTS of holiday treats, but I had to take a short break to make a couple baby cards for some new parents and grandparents.  I wanted to share the set and hope you like the design.

 

Baby...

I used the same sketch (see below) and papers, but alternated the layering. All the patterns seem to flow together quite nicely.

 The cuts are from All Mixed Up, Elegant Edges, Potpourri Basket, and Wild Card Cricut cartridges. Pink pearls were added to a couple of the corners.

Stella Says Sketch

 

Other Challenges:

Allsorts ~ Anything but Christmas

 

I am FINALLY going to try our new camera and explore some of the features. I really want to improve the quality of my pictures and lighting. Does anyone use a photo light box or recommend one? Do you just use natural lighting? Looking for suggestions so I can improve the quality of my photos.

 

Happy Holidays,

Georgiana
