I haven't been blogging long so I really didn't know another way of using my font other then cut and paste as a jpg. I thought it was hard to see the link for Dana, so here it is again easier to just click & go

Have a great day!

Shark (ing) cupcake wrappers

2010-04-09T17:22:00.000-04:00

Hello All,

I've made some more cupcake wrappers. My granddaughter and her dad are going to be in a Shark cage. This is going to be her Birthday Present. He asked me if I could make cupcakes and wrappers in the shape of Sharks. This is what I came up with. I will post pictures of the completed cupcakes after the event.

I'm Back, Still in CupCake Phase

2010-03-21T16:51:00.000-04:00

Hello All, I'm glad to be back. I have been busy making cupcakes and have a few to show you. Also, I have been playing with Make The Cut. I love this program. It is easy to use and has inspired me to be more creative. I'm now creating cupcake wrappers for myself. First here are a few pictures of cupcakes I've made for my friends daughter for her confirmation

then onto Valentine Day Cupcakes for my bunco group.

then came St. Patrick's Day

And before I started the Easter wrappers I made Spring/Easter nest cupcakes.

And most recently working on Easter CupCake Wrappers.

Here are the wrappers I created using MTC and Cricut Expression.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Ornament for Donna's ChristmasTree

2009-12-15T18:13:00.000-05:00

Here is an ornament I made for Donna's Tree this year. (see Nov. 30th post) I used a plain glass ornament I got at Michaels. I used Pledge floor shine to coat the inside of the ornament, then poured out the excess. I then filled with a good amount of red glitter and shook it until it completely coated the inside of the ornament. I poured out the excess glitter. I tied a ribbon around the neck of the ornament and then placed the cap on it. I used SCAL2 and the font called "formal" for the name Donna and 2008. I then cut it out of white vinyl (provocraft vinyl) with my cricut expression. The blade was at 6 and the pressure at 2 and the speed at medium. The snowflake was from the cricut cartridge Joys of the Season.

Cupcake Phase continues

2009-12-13T08:48:00.000-05:00

I cut the cupcake wrappers with my cricut expression. I purchased the pattern from Visual Designs by Chris. http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/store/search.php?mode=search&page=1

And here are some more creations (non-cricut)

Holiday Ornament Iris folding

2009-11-30T11:24:00.000-05:00

Here is an iris folding ornament I made. This one is special to me. I lost my best friend Donna to cancer last December 9th. Christmas was her favorite holiday and she asked us to remember to have Christmas every year. I bought her family a small Christmas tree that they could plant in the backyard with an angel ornament after the funeral. I promised that I would send an ornament to her family every Christmas in remembrance of her and our friendship. I miss her dearly everyday. I will be making her a glass ornament too and I will post that at a later time. I made the cards with winter wonderland cricut cartridge and embossed the white card with the Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and added a blue gem to the middle of the snowflake. I used gold stickles to put dots around the red ornament and used Martha Stewarts gold glitter marker for the top of the ornament.

Christmas Card Challenge Entry

2009-11-30T07:41:00.000-05:00

Hello all, It's now time to get those Christmas cards going on their way. I entered a card challenge at http://c ricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/ to make a Christmas card with only pink & green colors using the cricut cartridges. I made this card with the winter wonderland cartridge. I did iris folding for the "o" and "y" in the word Joy. I used green and pick origami paper. I used green stickles to give it some bling along with a polka dot ribbon and pop up dots.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. As, I said my DH says I go thru phases. This is my cupcake phase. I cut cupcake wrappers with the cricut for Halloween

and Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I got the halloween cupcake wrapper from. I did purchase the Thanksgiving cupcake wrapper from Chris at Visual Designs http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/store/search.php?mode=search&page=1 I'm sorry if some of the pictures are blurry. I also created some turkey cupcakes of my own. As well as some of the halloween ones.

Iris Folding Cards

Hello Everyone,I made a couple of iris folding cards. My 1st card was "thinking of you", and a learning card for me. I tried to use the thinest cardstock I had. but with the amount of folds this pattern had, it really bulked up the inside of the card. So the lesson I learned was: Not to put the design so close to the bottom of the card and to stamp (leaves) the card "before" I added the folded papers. On the second card (car)I used origami paper. It was thinner and less bulky on the inside and gave a good result. The Flowerpot card pattern was really for a witches caldron. which you can see in this video on youtube. Here Unfortunately, the site where I found the pattern is no longer available.

My Latest Creation

2009-11-11T11:10:00.000-05:00

Welcome to Kitt's World. This is my first blog and post. As well as my current "phase" LOL. I'm trying to learn how,what, when & why blogging is a "good thing" . So please have patience with me. I will share pictures of things I created and my thoughts on things I find interesting that may be of interest to you. (or not). At this time or "phase" as DH refers to them. I have a new toy, a cricut expression. I like to make cards and with the holiday season approaching , its a good phase to be in now. I was inspired to make this shutter card by Mary of CardzTV. Click Here. She also encouraged me to enter the CardzTV Challenge, which means I had to do more then just give my blog a name. So, she has inspired me to new heights, as this will also be my very first "contest challenge" of any kind in many years. Besides, I needed a URL address to enter. Here are pictures (before I knew what I wanted to do) and after completion. I used paperdolls dressup and winterwonderland cartridges. I also embossed the white background behind the deer with the new cuddlebug snowflake embossing folder I purchased from HSN. They had a special bundle of 6 for around $19.95. Thanks for stopping by today. Stay tune to see new phases in Kitt's World soon.
