Spotlight blog hop
Luisa
Yay. My post is now up. Sorry it took so long. This months spotlight is reinkers. What I did was used reinkers to make a strong tiedye look with my stamps. I just added reinker to my stamp and misted with water to have the ink spread out. You could do this with ink pads, but this version is a more vibrant color. Plus the water will mix your colors for you. You can also do this on fabric. I hope you enjoyed the tut. Again next on the hop is Luisa

Sotm blog hop.- oct
Next in the hop is Casandra's blog
. This card, believe it or not, uses Oct sotm. I used the tree as a pennant and trimmed it so it was just the notes. The polka dot strip is also from the sotm. It's the top of the stocking. I just stamped a few in a row to make the strip.
I hope you enjoyed this. Sorry it's short and simple. Just not feeling this best today and I have been just procrastinating all day.
Again, next in the hop is Casandra's blog

Spotlight Blog Hop - Cricut Art Philosophy
This little guy didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. I saw a stamp of holly leaves and they looked like a bat to me, and I knew we had this in the cart. But its a cute way to dress up some suckers for halloween.
This card doesnt use any cricut cuts, but this was where the bat was suppose to end up. The card just took a life of its own. I love this card, its so pretty. Just wanted to show you since I made it.
You start with the pillow box. The Cricut perforates where you normally fold over to make the box. I highlighted these in black.
Trim off both ends with paper trim like shown.
Your box should now look like this.
You will follow the perforations on one side, the one closest to the lip you glue. Make sure you cut the same side. The back will be flat, and the front will be curved.
Your envelope should look like this when done and glued.

SOTM bloghop - Sept
This is the images from this months sotm. I know I'm gonna use this alot for my moms wedding, and maybe even mine. But for now, I was stumped. But I do love the tag.
I used typeset for the bag, with our awesome cricut cart. Then i cut out the tag again with the cricut. I love this cartridge. The tag was cut using sunset, that i sanded to mute the color slightly. Thanks is from A Little Thanks. My customer loved it.Sunday, August 14, 2011

I used the butterflies to do a random stamping. I used the words to stamp on the ribbon. this is so easy to do. The flowers and word 'love' were cut from the cricut. man i love that thing. The card uses Sonoman paper and the zip strip.
Now go check out what

spotlight blog hop - circle cards
Now I made all my cards with the new cricut cart so making the bases were super easy.
The card below was made with all scraps. Even the base was in my scrap bin. The ribbon was an accident. It somehow ended on the table and jest went well with the card.

This card i made for my aunt and grampa. they bought me some cricut carts. Even this card was scraps from the pair-a-phrase card. Its hard to see, but the sentiment say thanks a bunch from a little thanks.

No B&T birthday card
I used a lot of new products on this card. :) I took our new kraft 6x6 card and trimmed the scalloped edge off of it so i could use it further down on the card. And I stamped, Alot. I used 5 different Alpha stamps for my homemade B&T. I used headline alphabet twice, one with a kissing tech with the script stamp for universal backgrounds. The small circle alpha is new from the stamp set Vintage Type. the banners are from that too. I just cut them down so they were smaller. Also used our new cork alphabets, ribbon from the red collection and diecuts from the cricut collection. My three plus colors were kraft, Chocolate, Cranberry and Colonial White. I also used cocoa and Vanilla cream ink. I forgot to mention, I punched a cirlce and backed it on my button the give it some color.
While at the team meeting we made this card with the new Roxie collection, Love Life stamp set, Aug sotm Wicked, Bling buttons and Butterfly just blooms.

Even with all this new product sneak peek, i haven't even covered 1/8th of the new idea book. Come back on the 1st for the sotm blog hop featuring Wicked. Plus i know im gonna have alot of post with the new cricut cartridge. i am so excited to get mine. i get it today, sometime. hopefully soon. lately they have been coming before 2. hope they follow that pattern today.
