Cooking with Cricut #79: Make us laugh

Hi everybody and welcome back to another fun challenge at Cooking with Cricut! This week we are celebrating April Fool's Day by making projects that will make you laugh.  I hope you find my project funny- I don't do funny very well, but I saw this sentiment and thought it was pretty funny! So here is my card:

The crab is cut from Life's a Beach. Create a Critter also has a cute one, but this one won out! I used a white galaxy pen to draw in his cute smile and placed some additional black cardstock behind his eyes to give them some more definition. I printed the sentiment on my computer. Here is the interior of the card:

The sentiment stamp is from Whimsical Designs. I thought this would be a cute design for a belated birthday card as well! I hope I made you chuckle a bit today, and can't wait to see all the funny and inspiring things you all come up with! Please come join us!

Pin It

I love the bright fun colors on this paper from SEI. I colored the cute image with Copics and added some liquid pearls and stickles to accentuate.

The sentiment is from the Everyday Sentiments Set. I find myself using this set a LOT. I love the bright orange.

I hand cut the little banner.  Here is a copy of the set I got the sentiment from:

Cooking with Cricut # 77: St. Patricks Day

I am simply thrilled to be continuing on with Cooking with Cricut!  This group is an amazing bunch of talented crafters, and we are welcoming in some talented new members. I hope you take the time to check out all of their fantastic projects. This week we are celebrating St. Patrick's Day with a rainbow theme! I have to admit I was a little at a loss with what to do with my project until I realized all the different ways you could utilize a 'rainbow' on your card. In this particular card I was inspired by one I found on Pinterest here. Here it is:

I used some patterned paper for some of the butterflies, and added some embossing and ribbon. I REALLY love clean and simple (CAS) cards. I think less is more sometimes! For the butterflies I cut them from the Storybook cart and used the 'flip' feature on my Cricut to get the butterflies to 'fly' in opposite directions. I popped them up on foam dots so they could stand out a bit more. The sentiment stamp is from Whimsical Designs.
I hope you enjoy my card and can't wait to see the colorful creations you all come up with! Please come join us!

Whimsical Designs Design Team Post

Hi everyone, and welcome to my FIRST post for Whimsical Designs!! This week our project theme is "Time Flies" so your project should have a clock or wings!

I chose wings, with this cute image from Tiddly Inks. The Whimsical Designs sentiment went so perfectly with the image. I cut a strip of vellum, and stamped, and then heat embossed the sentiment on the vellum, so some of the colors in the back would show through. This sentiment is from the Everyday Sentiments line.

Here is a close up of the image from Tiddly Inks. I added some diamond stickles to the wings to emphasize them. I cut out the circles with Spellbinders dies.

I tied a bow and secured with a brad:

Here is the stamp set. I think this one is my favorite because it has so many sentiments for everyday occasions, and can be adapted for almost any type of project, you can purchase your own set HERE.
