Wintery Tucked Away

This cute little box is called the Tucked Away template from Papertrey Ink (created by Lauren Meader). They are so much fun to make, love 'em!

Cart. Exploration at the Chirper Challenge

Over at the Chirper Challenge this week we are exploring the cricut cartridges Plantin Schoolbook, George and basic shapes and Don Juan. All of the carts that may have come with your cricut machines.

My first card uses George and Basic Shapes. I cut the 2 star shadows at 5 1/2 and a star out of patterned paper. The oval is also from George and basic shapes. Stitching, ribbon, twine and a studio G sentiment finish it off.

This is the gift I made my husband for our 4th anniversary. The box is one of Lauren Meader's My Timeless templates, this is the small pack a picnic. I also made the large one for him for fathers day (it's a post or two ago). The cricut cut on here is the heart. I used the stitched option from Don Juan and it is so much fun. It just leaves little dots where I hand stitched with embroidery floss.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pack a picnic for CC #18

Here's my project for this weeks Chirper Challlenge . I used one of Lauren Meader's Timeless Templates that you can buy from Papertrey Ink. This one is the Pack a picnic and it's soo super cool because it comes with this template and a smaller version of the same thing and it's totally cute! These are so easy too because you just print them out cut on the lines and tape them together, easy peasy.

Anyways, this challenge was to include Brown, Brads and zig-zags. This was my hubby's fathers day gift. I would swear I took a picture of it when it was full with his Dad's day goodies and cards, but for the life of me I could not find it and had to take a new picture after it's been used for a while, ugh, sorry about that! Oh and it has a lid that of course is MIA, haha.
