"You Da Bomb"...

Hi there..... Today I am stopping by to share this ADORABLE, "You Da Bomb" card. I created this card using a pattern file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

This card measures 6x6 and is made using Bazzill & Recollections card stock. The patterned paper is from Roylco.

I uploaded this file to my Cricut Explore to cut out all my pieces. For the three(3) bombs, I used the All Mixed Up font on the Cricut to write out the sentiment using a white gel pen. After all pieces were cut and chalked, I pieced them together and added highlights with a white gel pen.

I also added a piece of satin ribbon from American Crafts as an extra embellishment.

I hope you enjoy my creation for today! Feel free to leave me your feedback and follow me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/chbcreations)

Autumn Fun...

Happy Monday everyone!!!! This morning I would like to share my "Autumn Fun" layout that I created using two files from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

I used a mixture of card stock and patterned papers from Bazzill, Recollections, American Crafts, Crate Paper & Momenta Paper Pads to complete this layout.

This layout holds two (2) 4 x 6 photos.

I used my Cricut Explore to cut out all of my paper piecings. Once cut out, all pieces were chalked and pieced together.

To add a bit of texture, I ran all of the leaves through my Big Shot machine as well.

I used my Cricut to cut all of the page borders as well as the Title. The title was made using glittered card stock.

I hope you enjoyed my Autumn Layout project for today. Thanks for visiting and I will see again soon!

Autumn Wreath

Hello there. I am super excited to share this Autumn Wreath that I just finished. Isn't just the cutest!?!?!?

The Wreath itself is made using hand cut craft foam leaves. My cute little scarecrow friend, pumpkin patch sign, fence and pumpkins were created using a file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I uploaded this svg file to my Cricut Explore to cut all the pieces. Once cut, the pieces were all chalked and inked and then assembled.  I ran both the fence and the small patch pieces from the scarecrow through my Big Shot to add some texture.

For the sign, "Pumpkin Patch" was printed using the Cricut and then colored in using Recollections markers.  I added some extra highlights to the pieces using a white gel pen and Recollections Masterpiece Markers. Once attached to my leaf wreath, I then added a pretty two-tone bow at the top for the finishing touch.

I just love how the whole project turned out!!! Feel free to leave me your comments and feedback. Have a great evening and I'll see you all again real soon.

Warm Autumn Wishes...

Good Evening!!! I'd like to share this latest creation I've made using a file from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  This card measures 5 x 7 and is made using Bazzill card stock and patterned paper from Momenta.

I used my Cricut Explore to upload and cut my svg file of this adorable squirrel. I also cut the patterned paper and printed my Autumn sentiment using the Cricut as well.

After chalking all my pieces, I assembled my little squirrel friend and added some highlights using a white gel pen as well as a few Recollections Masterpiece markers.

I added some "Autumn" sequins which I received from Craftin' Desert Diva's to each of the corners for some added color and to give it that extra "special something".

I enjoyed creating this card and hope that you all like it as well.  Thanks for stopping by. I will be back with another creation for you all soon!

Birthday Celebration...

Hi there.... I'd like to share this shaker birthday card that I created using the picture inspiration for a linky party which is currently being help at Craftin' Desert Diva's.

This card measures 5 x 7. I used Recollections card stock and patterned paper for my cards base.

Of course, I had to make it a shaker card and love to use non other than Craftin' Desert Diva's beautiful sequins.

I used a mix of the Cotton Candy Sequins which you can find here:

as well as Springtime Flower Power Sequins which you can find here:

I also added a light pink satin ribbon and three robin blue flower brads to the bottom of the card for a little extra embellishing.

Inside the card (which you can see through the acetate), I used the birthday stamp from the Celebration Wordart stamp set which can be found here as well:

It was lots of fun to create this super cute card!

Thank you for stopping by!!

You're Turtley Awesome..

Hi there! Today on the blog, I have this adorable fall themed turtle card.  This card measures 5 x 7. I used Bazzill and Recollections card stock for my paper piecing and as the base of my card.  The patterned paper is from Lilybee Designs.

My cute little turtle friend is a file pattern from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs which you can find here: http://www.littlescrapsofheavendesigns.com/category_22/Weekly-Freebie.htm. Please understand that he is currently listed as the weekly freebie right now.  I do not know how much longer he will be available as a freebie though.

I used my Cricut Explore to upload the file and cut him out. I then chalked each piece before putting him together.  I wanted to make him different somehow and I thought it would be a cute idea to make a "shaker" out of his pumpkin shell.  I used an oval punch to create the cut out and then adhered acetate and foam dots.  I used a mixture of sequins that I had from Craftin' Desert Diva's and Stampin' Up!  After my shaker was formed, I then added two small leaf embellishments (also ReCollections) and a small orange button for an added touch.

Now onto my sentiment..... I used the Natural Tag & Twine Kit from Recollections to created my sentiment tag. And thankfully, I have the Totally Turtle Stamp Set from Craftin' Desert Diva's which you can find here: http://craftindesertdivas.com/totally-turtle/

It was lots of fun making this card. Hope you all enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by!!

Best Buds

Hello and Happy Monday!! Today I'd like to share this cute Best Buds card that I created using a svg file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. I have to say, I think I am obsessed with the Super Hero Kids files. They are just too cute and there are so many different ways to use them.

This card measures 5" x 7". For the card base, I used paper from the Recollections Comic Heros Paper Pad. Batman & Robin as well as the sentiment is made from Bazzill and Recollections cardstock.  

Batman & Robin have been cut and chalked and highlights have been added with a white gel pen. I also added some glossy accent to Robin's mask and the Bat on Batman's emblem to give it just a bit of added texture and sheen (Sorry the pic doesn't show it that well). I added star sequins to the sentiment as well to give it that added shimmer and shine.

It is a very fun file to work with and the possibilities are endless.  I hope you enjoyed today's creation. Have a great day and I will see you all again real soon.
