Cut It Up Challenge #12--Animation Domination

Happy Friday!! Today's challenge at Cut it Up Challenges is "Animation Domination". Create a project that showcases an animated character. (ie. Hello Kitty, Batman, Winnie The Pooh, Spongebob, etc.) If you do not have a Cricut cartridge or SVG's that have any of these type of characters, there are tons of free coloring book pages online that can be resized and used as a digi image. Must use a die cut.

Here is my take on this week's challenge:

I used DC Comics Superman cartridge to cut Superman out. He's pretty handsome as a die-cut, yes?? :D I mounted him on top of this black grid paper that has constellations on it that is from the DCWV "Natural" stack. Then I offset that with a small pop of red matting and the cardstock base is black. 

Then I stamped "You're out of this world" for my sentiment. This will probably be my hubby's Valentine's Day card as he really loves Superman and he's my Superman!! :D

My Paper Crafting Challenge 120--Hearts To You

Hi everyone! It's hump day once again and it's time for a new Crafting with Cutters challenge at My Paper Crafting!

This week's challenge is:

Create a project with a heart or a heart shape. 

Here is what I created.

I made this cute lil' mailbox from the Valentine's 3D Mailboxes cartridge and I cut it at 5" and then pieced it together. Once I pieced it together, I added this fun vintage-y Valentine paper on top of the red mailbox and then added the "Valentine's" cut on top of the paper. 

You could definitely make this bigger for an actual mailbox for letters but I kept it at it's minimum cut. I filled this mailbox with some tissue paper and then Valentine candy on top of that. 

I signed up for a Secret Valentine at the school I'm teaching at and I think one of the 4 days we are secretly leaving treats/goodies for the person we got, this will be one of my gifts to that person. :D

Have a great Hump Day!

Cut It Up Challenge #11--Love is in the Air

Hi everyone!!

Happy Friday!! Today's challenge at Cut it Up Challenges is "Love is in the Air". Create a Valentine's project--must include a die-cut.

Here is my take on this challenge. 

My die-cut is from the cartridge Victorian Romance as well as the banner. I stamped "How do I

 love thee?" on the banner and then added a layered green and flower in the corner. 

Super simple card!

My Paper Crafting IFTL Challenge

Hi everyone! Happy hump day!!

Today's Crafts with Cutters challenge at My Paper Crafting is:

IFTL stands for I Feel the Love and you can check out their blog HERE. This week's IFTL recipient is in memory of Victoria Soto.  As you may remember, Victoria Soto was a 27 year old first grade teacher who gave her life protecting her 1st grade students in the Sandy Hook shooting. Because of her actions, 6 or 7 of her students survived(number still to be confirmed). 

Being a teacher myself(music) and also 27 yrs. old, this really shook me as I'm sure it did many of you. Still praying for all those that were affected by the shooting and thinking of those teachers who did what they could to protect those little ones. 

So, in honor of Ms. Soto, we will be making Valentine's Day cards with hearts on them to send to the students that survived in her class. Here is my card:

 The cuts are from Create a Critter 2 cartridge and the paper background with the monkey border is from DCWV's "Animal Crackers" stack.

Then on the inside I cut the sentiment, "Bananas 4 U" and the bananas from Create a Critter 2 also. This is an lime A2 card with a tan mat and then the red patterned paper on top and then on the inside I added one more tan mat for the sentiment. 

To see where you can send your Valentine's card to be sent to the students, please visit Madison's blog, I Feel The Love Project HERE.
