Drinker Bell

Here is a shirt and card I made for my daughter.  She loves wine.  (She's not a wino though!  lol!) The inside reads:  "I Tink you should have a Happy Birthday!"   It was an idea that came from Facebook:  Let's Learn Cricut Explore by Heidi Varden.  The designer paper and sentiment are from Kaiser Craft "Violet Crush".  I used a Recollections card base and envelope.  These are so easy, I use them a lot! 

My first Drinker Bell was a bust.  The first OOPS was I put in "glitter vinyl" NOT "glitter iron on vinyl"!  What a nightmare it was to weed.  Then, after taking the time to weed and put everything together, line it up, center it, wash it, blah, blah blah, I managed at the last moment to flip the bottle onto the body of Tink and iron it together!  Oi!  All of the work, not to mention having to buy another shirt, was toast!  PLUS I didn't have any more HTV!  I went mooching and found one piece I could get.  Phew, saved by the bell!  This was for her birthday and she needed to receive it today!

I am so loving the Design Space and Explore.  I can't wait until they make it usable off-line as well!

TCDream

I just got the Everyday Moments 6x6 paper pack from Teresa Collins yesterday.  I just love this paper and couldn't wait to make something with it!

I had no purpose or plan, I just wanted to use this gorgeous paper!

I used a corner rounder to round the edges of the main mat.  I cut the fancy mat from Elegant Edges.  For the bee I used Home Decore - and added glitter.  For the flower I used  Mother's Day Bouquet.  I used a popsicle stick put the flowers on the mat and "drew" a line down the center to create the veins in the middle of the petals.  I then added a large yelow brad, and the stem from Kate's ABCs.

I added some word stickers, an October Afternoon sticker and ribbon,  7Gypsy's fabric tape under the main mat.  I added bling and outlined the fancy mat with faux stitching.  

Oh, how I wish I had a decent camera and skills to use it so you could see the colors well!

I decided to enter this in a couple challenges:

Tuesday Alchemy - Anything Goes

Bird Cage Swap

I made these bird cages for a swap that I am in.  I used A Child's Year, French Manor and Kate's ABCs for the images.

First Imagine Card! Woot! Woot!

Here is my first Imagine card.  I used Kate's ABCs for the butterflies and made them look as if they were watching the TV.  :)  I used Nifty 50's for the sewing machine and TV.  How funky are those!!!  Designer Calendar and Base Camp were used for the fonts.  On the inside of the card I put the needle and thread from Happily Ever After.  The papers for the TV, sewing machine and bees were made with my I and the Blossom cart.  I love the dotted paper for the TV!!!

More carts used in my journey!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy

I made this card for my mother for Mother's Day.  She loves her cats!  I used my new absolutely gorgeous cart:  Kate's ABCs.  I could hardly wait to get this cart!  I love everything about it!  I also used Mother's Day Bouquet for the sun and Sentimentals for the mat.  I used SU! punch for the "Happy" label.  I slipped a little lace under the dress.  I think it added a little extra dimension of cuteness!

Three more carts used (although two new lol!) in my "Use Your Carts!" journey!

Since beginning on the journey to use my cart I have become  inspired to use my embellishments, etc.  as well, so I will be trying hard to put a few "little extras" onto my cards.  Although, I am sure If I used 10 items each time (I used 23 on this one!)  I still would not be able to use them all up in the next 20 years!  lol!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a royal day!
