Walmart and were able to get Cricut Lite cartridges for $22.50! I don't have a Menard's here but thought I would pass on the information. Here is the link to the ad, MENARDS AD, but you will probably have to have the original ad in order to get the price match! The ad runs from 9/5 to 9/12.
I absolutely love mine!
and will be the last from this cart for a little while. Again I don't know what the paper is that I used for the matting of the card, maybe Cosmo Cricket...and maybe not.
YOU SEE STICKLES! *okie rolls her eyes and sighs deeply* You know I love Stickles and will use them on anything I possibly can! And for those of you who don't like Stickles...I think you are seriously disturbed! Again with the Stardust this time and then I used Black Diamond on the raven. I inked the edges of the moon with some orange ink.
and I think I got it probably over 2 years ago. I thought it would look good because of the bats but I think I needed to cut the Jack O' Lantern smaller...but too late now!
I inked the edges using Pumpkin Pie Stampin Up ink and used the same color marker to do the lines on the pumpkin. Old Olive was used for the leaf and swirl.
patterned papers on the witch and moon to give the cut a more whimsical look. And of course I love polka dots so that is the paper which I chose to use on the witch *okie laughs at her nerdiness*.
Little Yellow Bicycle.
My friend Linda, aka Lguild, was over this past weekend and when she saw it she said there was too much work involved for her tastes. But....what does she know? *okie cracks up laughing knowing Linda is gonna comment on that one*. Since I couldn't do inking on the tiny letters I did add some Stickles to the green letters and then faux stitching on the orange. I used purple thread to stitch around the mat of the card. I think I do prefer the zig zag stitch over a straight stitch most of the time.
shocked by that *okie can just see the eye rolls with that statement*.
I do like this one better than yesterday's card, but it is still not on my "love's it" list.
the Great American Scrapbook convention when I went to Arlington Texas in June. I was able to get a pizza box full of paper for $20. My only regret is that I didn't get another box full! My friend Linda, aka LGuild..aka my partner in crime, are looking forward to going back next year!
know how I love dimension! I actually do like the colors on this one and I think the patterns of the paper give it a sophisticated look but yet the balloon adds some whimsy.
lighter color but since I was using scrap I used what I had. I do think it looks better in person, and it would have looked better had a lighter color to use. The sentiment is a little lame too! It reads "Happy Birthday to my beary special friend" *okie sighs and rolls eyes on how unimaginative she was with this one*.
better keep my doodling in practice for other things *okie laughs at the word doodling because it is just a fun little word*. I do like the polka dot ribbon on there and think it might be the only redeeming quality on this card.
I used some hot fix gems on the bears eyes and maybe should have used a different color for those also.
*okie really thinks the next two are stinkers but will post them anyway* I like the colors, patterns of paper and the design of this card. I rarely say I like things I make but this one I do.
NOT surprised! LOL I used some 3/8" ribbon that I got at Walmart for the bow and strip. My Walmart does have some nice ribbon but I still prefer to order from Ribbon and Bows Oh My! because of their prices and selection.
You guys know how well I love my pop-dotting! And if you are new to the game and don't know I do have a video on how to MAKE YOUR OWN POP DOTS. It is a lot cheaper than buying them...fo' sho!
wonders if she has a traditional bone in her body...and decides it is probably the ones with arthritis* I know some of you might remember this sunflower paper. I have used it on quite a few cards and that is because I love it! I am almost out and will be sad when it is gone. It is by Pinecone Press. The cardstock is Stampin Up Summer Sun I believe.
that Janome Sew-Mini and it stores so easily. I can't remember who posted a comment about using "invisible thread" for the bobbin so you don't have to switch colors but THANK YOU! I did have some nylon thread and even had some on a bobbin. It is making it much easier to switch out colors because I am not having to switch my bobbin now.
"Just remember, once you are over the hill you begin to pick up speed" which I thought was totally appropriate and rather genius of me to use *okie sighs and wonders when she will ever convince everyone she is a genius*. I just wish I would have set the font larger *okie realizes maybe she isn't quite the genius she believes herself to be and hopes no one notices*.
have on yesterday's card too and tries to think, but then decides not to bruise her brain and stops thinking*. One little trick for this one that I will share is that for the small cuts of the sleeve, headlight, steering wheel and hub caps I used white paper and then colored with my Stampin Up markers. It seemed just a bit easier to do it that way than cut them multiple times or hide contour so many times.
I am not sure I care for the patterns of papers I used on the card. I like the concept...just not the card so much. However, my daughter being the precious child she is, said she loves it! *okie wonders if her daughter says such things hoping okie will do daughter's laundry*
to give it some dimension and then lightly inked the edges and swirls. The patterned papers are from a DCWV Spring stack from a few years ago.
Living quite a distance from Hobby Lobby I don't always get to hit the ribbon when it is on sale and I refuse to pay full price. My Walmart does have a small selection of ribbon but of course there are always colors I need that they don't carry.
I sat down and examined her work and then happened to look up and saw that she had used Design Studio as well! *okie's heart warms with pride* At that point I didn't care that she has used some of my polka dot ribbon that I won't use because if I use it I won't have it anymore. I didn't care that she has used some of my Prima flowers. I didn't care that she had used some of my precious Prism cardstock. I was just proud that she had made a project that she felt proud of!
And my daughter laughed when she read this one, saying she forgot about him saying it until she read it.
course you guys know my feelings about Stickles! I use Diamond the most because of how it looks when used on colored cardstock. I do have quite a few of the colors but I always grab the good ol' Diamond!
due to his stripes wanting to move around when gluing down. So if you do cut him this small I suggest start at the head stripes and work your way down. I seemed to have better luck with that method.
some red eyelets in the corners. I also used the Numbers Cuttlebug folder on the blue strip of paper. You can't really see it too well but it does look nice in person.
was holding a present, and luckily there is a present on the Pooh and Friends cartridge!! *okie thinks she is so lucky to find these little things out so she doesn't have to switch out carts while cutting*. I did have a booger *okie giggles because she said booger* of a time cutting the present and I am beginning to think that cutting with the Cricut is much like sewing.
the answer is of course YES! I really couldn't find any direct birthday quotes from Piglet so this is just another one that I thought would do for the situation.
ld have been before the balloon that Piglet had taken to Eeyore for his birthday had busted *okie winks and nods head at her cleverness*.
Eeyore for Eeyore's birthday but since I am not a Pooh fanatic *and okie means that in the best sense of the word* I didn't know where to look for such a thing.
