Apple Tags - Doodlecharms

Today's post is a quick little project I did for Donna.  She had purchased Jacob's teachers a little gift in appreciation for the school year.  Her schedule has prevented her from crafting lately so she asked me to make some tags for the gift bags.  What better tag to use for a teacher than an apple?

I chose the charm feature on Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge (this is one of the older cartridges) for these tags.  I cut them at 3.5". I cut the basic cut in green & white and layered them so the little cut out would show up as an accent.  Before I glued them together I colored the back side of the stem with brown.  It bled through to the front so it gave the stem more definition.  Then I adhered the red apple to the front and added twine.  Super simple and easy.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  We love to read your comments.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  God Bless You!!! Peggy

 

Sweet Dreams Baby Book - LOTS OF CRICUT

You know there's nothing like a newborn baby to make you smile!  Jacob's teacher, Ms. Pennington, is expecting her first grandchild this week so I decided I would make her a brag book for some of her photos.  I don't know about you but I've never met a grandmother yet that didn't have plenty of pictures of their grandchildren to show you.


For this project, I used LOTS of Cricut Cartridges.  I found a Rusty Pickle Chipboard Album that I bought at one of the CKC conventions that Mom and I attended.  I used the Basic Grey Oh Boy Collection to cover the chipboard with 6 x 6 1/2 pieces.

COVER:Frame - I used Design Studio to make the frame using the George Cartridge.  I welded two squares together then welded stars inside the frame.

Clouds - 1 1/2", 3/4"

Ewe Made My Day - Thank Ewe So Much!! Designed2Delight Challenge

Hi Everyone!  I've wanted to make an easel card so I thought I would make one for the Designed2Delight Challenge using a free digi from their blog.  I printed the directions on how to make an easel card from the Splitcoast Stampers website.

I colored the digi with Promarkers.  I colored two sheep and pop dotted them together on the front of the card for dimension.

I cut the following using my Cricut Expression:

Fence - My Community Cartridge, page 39 at 2"

Sun - Doodlecharms, page 96 at 1 1/4" - I cut 2 and pop dotted them together for dimension

Grass - Plantin Schoolbook, page 69 - I used Design Studio to cut two layers of grass for the front and three layers of grass for the inside of the card.

I printed the sentiments off on cream cardstock and pop dotted them.  When the card is standing, the grass goes up around the feet of the sheep like he is really standing in a field. 

I hope this card provides you with some inspiration.  Thanks for visiting and please leave a comment if you see something that you like.  Until another day, God Bless You!!  Donna
