Summer Fun

 Two kits made for the store... both sold out!  Wow.

Whoo Loves You?

Yesterday, we had a cricut swarm at the store and it was a lot of fun.  We had prizes, make and takes, and a technique spotlights going on all day!  I made 5 limited edition kits for the event.  This was the first to sell out! Thanks to everyone for coming and making the day extra fun!  Can't wait to do it again!

gift card holder

 This is a die cut our store has... IT'S adorable.  The gift card holder opens at the bottom and it just the perfect size.  Since June was a month for weddings... this is what I came up with.

 This card was a quick throw together card... 5 minutes and viola...  Love scrap papers.

Reality is Good!

 Used my cuttlebug folder to emboss Cordinations Cardstock and sanded down the high spots.

 Also, really LOVING Pearl Pens!  Adds just the right bling!

Princess of the Pool

This Saturday, I am teaching a class on the cartridge Life's A Beach.  The class members will get to choose between Prince or Princess of the Pool.  The kit turned out darn cute if I don't say so myself.  We will also be completing a card project to be posted at a later date.  :)

Handbook Pictures

I told my friends in the last gypsy class of a blog where you can download the cartridge handbook pictures.

Happy Cricutting!

Another Gypsy card

Last Saturday, at our Gypsy 102 class, we learned how to weld shapes together to make cards.  There are lots of posts below that show examples as I had way LOTS of fun preparing for this class.  Below is another example.  I welded a scallop square found on Gypsy Wandering cart to a regular square.  Then added a rattle from New Arrival to decorate the front.  

What I love about this card is that it is such a basic shape that you can change the paper and middle charm to make it a TOTALLY different look and feel. See below:

Gift for you!

Another welded card.  Used the present from Gypsy Wandering cart and then flipped one so they would fit back to back.  One trick I have learned:  Make the card base out of the shadowed image and then you can layer the regular shape on top.  Also I love to take the regular image and hide all the lines in the center to make the inside of the card.  

Love You Layout

Our 1st gypsy 102 class did this project.  The heart shaped lock with the key above started from an oval keyhole.  We hide the lines of the oval and put a heart shape there instead to fit our theme.  I LOVE the hide lines feature on the gypsy.  It is so handy!

You are my sunshine!

This was a layout we put together in our last Gypsy 102 class.  We practiced welding, hide lines, and all the other cool features on the gypsy.  I love these bright colors.

Oh, baby!

Another Gypsy welded card.  Lovin it!

Card Making Fun!

Gypsy Class alert!  Gypsy class on 4/9/11 will be a card-making bonanza!  We will be welding lots of shapes together to create fun cards.  You will not want to miss out!

Busy, busy!

 I've been busy, busy making cutesy things with my cricut.  These two pages I threw together pretty quick one afternoon.  The bird above is from the Create a Critter Cartridge and the St.Patrick's Day page below used images from Simply Charmed Cartridge.   I have also been excited about some cards I have created using the  gypsy for an upcoming class and can't wait to share them.  Will post pics soon!

Copic Certified, Baby!

Just a quick post to tell you some exciting news...  Teran and I are now Copic Certified!  Yeah!  So we will be practicing, practicing for a line of upcoming classes.  I am SO in love with Copic markers and can't wait to show you what we're working on.  Promise more posts soon!
