One Scrap at a Time

I just noticed it has been awhile since I post any of my projects to my own blog. This is a teapot I made using Lunch with Mom svg files and modified it just a bit to hold a plant. I still plan on making the teacup card to go with it so I can give it to someone special on Mother's day. ~Tee

Each week I do a Cricut class at my LSS and need to come up with a project that can be easily recreated by 55 to 60 Students that teach them new techniques using the Cricut. This week I am teaching them how to FLIP - I had a tough time coming up with a project so I decided to make a birthday card with a window cut out of the center and make the Ice Cream twice (one flipped, so it would be a mirror image) and glue them back to back so you have the ice cream on the front and inside.... Not the cutest project I have ever made but it works! ~Tee

I am offering another class at Hearts-n-Crafts on making these roses using the Cricut Flower Shoppe Cartridge... I made these using white smooth cardstock and inked each with a different color. Yellow is 2 1/2", Purple 2" and pink is 1 1/2" and by far the most difficult to make because of the size!

I have been playing with my Hello Kitty Cricut cartridge for my design team and my weekly make-n-take.  I first made this car out of the Echo Park Happy Days for my design team at Cutter Creek. See below   I cut out the Hello Kitty imagine using black cardstock at 5”, repeated using the blackout feature in both black cardstock and Retro patterned paper. I then cut the inside of the car and wheels using Bottle Caps patterned paper . Hello Kitty, her bow, steering wheel, inside of the wheels is cut with cardstock. I used a rhinestone for the headlight and stickles on her bow and the lines on the pink patterned paper ( Bottle Caps ).   I wanted my car to be 3D so I could add a gift before I gave it to my niece. To do that, I cut a piece of black cardstock at 9x4 – scored using my Scor Buddy at an ½” on each side and scored at 2” and 7” as seen in this picture. I then cut notches to make it easier to fold.  I folded ...

I finally had the chance to play with my newest cart, Ribbons and Rosettes. I made a 6x6 card by cutting the rosette 5 times at 2 1/2" I do love how it turned out.    If you are in the area Tee this coming Wednesday I will be offering this card as a make-n-take $5.  No need to register, just come on in between 10:30 and 1pm and join the fun.     Supplies to bring: Cricut 12x12 mat (if you have one) Adhesive (Tee used her ATG Gun) Score Board or ruler and bone folder Brown Ink (if you have it)

I have a new class using this beautiful paper from Teresa Collins. The class will be on April 12, 2012 from 6 to 9pm for $12.00. If you are in the area, come join me!  

My students challenged me to make a 3D Easter Egg for this week's Cricut Tips with Tee. I wanted to use Create a Critter but couldn't find an egg to use until I have the caption using special feature "phrase" found on the image with the Cow... The stamp is from Bunny Love by Shabby Chic Stamp Co. If you are in the area - come join me this Wednesday! Class is being offered on March 14th 10:30am to 1pm. ~Tee

Who doesn't love shoes? I made these shoes for my "Cricut Tips with Tee" at Hearts-n-Crafts. I used the Princess Party Cricut cartridge cut at 5 1/2. I also cut 3 flowers at (real dial size) at 1 1/2, sprayed with Tattered Angels and topped with Stickles.  In the area? Come join me on Wednesday, February 22nd to learn how I put this together. Cost is $5.00

I had a customer ask me to make a Scarecrow using the Shopping Bag on TBBC cartridge. This is what I came up with - everyone loved it! Another sold out successful class. Eyes, nose, cheeks and flower are from Plantin Schoolbook.

I saw a door hanger like this someone online (sorry I can't give you credit for the inspiration). I made the sample while at the store where I volunteer and before the end of the night I had sold 24 kits, all I had paper for. So, instead of ending it there - I grabbed different paper and sold another 24. I am so blessed to have such amazing customers.

Join me this Wednesday for another session of Cricut Tips with Tee and make this door hanger. Just $5 - bring your 12x12 cricut mat and basic tool kit!

I cut the flower out of Paisley (page 41) at 3.5" three times. I used a tooth pick to score the petals. The center of the flower was cut at 1.5, 1.25 and 1" and curled with a tooth pick. I love how this turned out.

I am teaching a class on Aug 11th at 6pm in Covina California -there are a few spots left if anyone is interested in coming. It is 4 cards and two purse gift card holder for $18.00 - Kits are also available and we do ship. :)
