Mix It Up Challenge Blog- Anything Goes with a 3D twist

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Mix it Up Challenge Blog.  We want to see your 3-D projects.  No flat projects here, we want to see the dimension!

Yesterday, I shared a baby banner I created for a Baby Shower that never happened because of the pandemic.  Today, I want to share just a few pages of the almost 29 page album I created for the family with the continued theme from the banner.  

Here is the cover.  The theme was hot air balloons. 

  

On the front cover  I created the background using my Cricut.  I then ran some rose ribbon around the far left side.  I cut and assembled the hot air balloons from Miss Kate's Cuttables and placed them in the right top corner.  To finish it, I added some pink and white flowers around the bottom.

Here is a few pages. 

I made them kind of generic since I did not know the Mom-to-Be, but I wanted them to be easy for her to just add her photos.

I had fun making this project.  Now it is your turn to create something that is not flat, and has some dimension.  Share it with is at Mix it Up Challenge Blog.  Also, please leave me a comment.

 

 

Bitten By the Bug 2: Family/Heritage

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

When I think of November, I think of gratitude and family.   This challenge is perfect for the month of November.

I created a scrapbook layout of our Thanksgiving impromptu picture shoot.

Here is the layout I created.

I created the layout from a pattern paper pad from Michaels.  I then cut out the title using my cricut and a svg from Miss Kate's Cuttables.

Here is a close up of the title:

Bitten By the Bug 2 Recycling Challenge

 

 Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a unique challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2 Challenge Blog.  Let's see what projects we can come up with recycling.

I reused a Folgers Coffee Container.

I painted the container and created a Halloween candy container.

I used a cut file from Miss Kate's Cuttables to create the face and cut from vinyl.  I had to fussy cut the hair to fit the container, but used the rest of the file as is.

 

I even put vinyl bolts on the sides.  I drew with a Sharpie the stitches and the smile. 

I can't wait to use this container to give out candy this year.  

Now it is your turn.  Create something from something else and share it with us at Bitten By the Bug 2 Challenge Blog.

Bitten by the Big 2- Country Fair

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a fun new challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2, the Country Fair.  I decided to create a scrapbook layout for this challenge.

I created the title with an SVG from Miss Kate's Cuttables cut with my Cricut and cardstock.  I then used pattern paper from Doodlebug's Down on the Farm as well as the icons.  The red shape was from my stash and was an old cutout from Creative Memories.

I added some yellow bakers twine and wooden star to the left hand side.   I then added my pictures.

Bitten By the Bug 2- Graduation

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Graduation season is upon us and our new challenge is Graduation.  I used my Cricut to make a Congrats banner.

I used Close to My Heart Art Philosophy to cut the banner pieces and the letters.  Then I used cut files from Kate's Cuttables to cut the diplomas, hats, "You did it!" signs stars and swirls.  

Here is a closer look at the banner pieces.

 

 

To finish the pieces, I added some black enamel dots to each piece.  

 

Now it is your turn.  Create something for graduations with your Cricut and share it with us at Bitten By The Bug 2.

Bitten By the Bug 2: Halloween

 

 Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2 and the challenge is Halloween.  I tried my hand at a bigger vinyl project this month.

 

  I started with a blank pizza pan from Dollar Tree.  I then cut the file from Miss Kate's Cuttables with my Cricut in the different colors of vinyl.  I changed the order a little bit to accommodate the pan shape.  

I then added a black, orange and purple bow to the top.  I hot glued the ribbon tails to the sides of the pan so you could read the words.

This was a time consuming project to get everything so straight and out together so they all fit on the pan, but the results are great.  I will definitely be trying this type of project again.

Now it is your turn.  Break out your Cricut and create a Halloween project and share it with us at Bitten By the Bug 2.

Bitten by The Bug 2: Wedding or Anniversary

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a new challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2.  The challenge is to use your Cricut to create something for a wedding or anniversary.

I decided to create the first page of a wedding album I am going to start working on.

I used a file from Miss Kate's Cuttables file for the flower embellishments on either side of picture.

The cardstock for the letters and the matte for the picture are cut from Pearled Basics Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.

The lettering is from DJ Inkers cut with the Pearled Basics cardstock.

Simple, but great for a title page.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.  Then join the challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2 and show us your Cricut makes.

Hello Bug Double Easel Card

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are having a great week.  Today I want to share with you another double easel card.  I think these are so fun and so easy.

I used Doodlebug Designs paper for this card.   The jar was cut with my Cricut and a svg file from Miss Kate's Cuttables.

Here is the card standing up with both easel parts.

Everything is from one sheet of Doodlebug paper.  It was the full sheet icon page, that I just cut up to fit into each area.  The hello was written just below the jar on the sheet.

The base of the card was created with Whip Cream Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment.

I used the svg cut files from Miss Kate's Cuttables to make the title and the dolphins.
The paper pack is from Echo Park, which I used for all the pattern pieces across the bottom of the layout and the circle on the left side of the layout.

Here is a close up of the title.

I used cardstock I had on hand to mat the pictures and to create the journal box in the top right corner.
