ColorArtz and Cricut Stencil

Good morning and TGIF! I am relieved it is the weekend once again. I need a bit of R and R! We have dinner plans for Saturday, but otherwise no other commitments. Sometimes the running around starts to wear me down!

 I have a card today that seems a bit out of place for this time of year, but I hadn't posted it and wanted to make you aware of a new product by ColorArtz. It works in conjunction with the Cricut Stencil cartridge and works great on fabric, glass, paper etc. I chose to create a card, but I've seen many cool home decor projects done with it! You simply cut the image using your Cricut and use the negative space on the paper to create the stencil.  Then the fun part begins.  Place your ink in the ColorArtz tool and spray your colors on! It's super easy and gives such fun results!

The frame was cut using the Elegant Edges Cartridge and popped up with dimensional foam circles.  I added some machine stitching, rhinestones, and seam binding.  The tag was cut using the Sentimentals Cartridge. I added another rhinestone and a small piece of twine to finish it off!

I hope you have a wonderful relaxing weekend!  Thank you as always for popping by!  I am hoping this weekend to repay your visits! : )

Hello Thursday!

Today is Hello Thursday! The day Provo Craft releases their brand new Cricut cartridges! I had the pleasure of working with two of them for this month's release, Paper Trimmings the new exclusive Circle Cartridge, and Cricut Stencil.



This first card uses the Paper Trimmings Cartridge. It is full of lacy borders, circles, squares etc. To see the cuts be sure to visit the Cricut Blog for pictures! The acorns also came from this fun cartridge! I layered my cuts and did a bit of glittering and embossing to my pieces. I added a satin bow and a tag that was cut from the Sentimental's Cartridge.

My next two projects uses the Cricut Stencil Cartridge. Again, to see the cut page be sure to pop on over to the Cricut Blog! This cartridge has such fun images that are intended for stenciling, and an airbrush system. But it is fun to use the "postive" images as well! For the title I used the "negative" space and used Colorartz airbrush system in pink.

The crown and wand were created using the "positive" images and glittering them up!

Oh! and the little cutie pie is my little niece, Katie. She is definitely a little princess who is headed for diva-hood! ; )

My last card uses the wood grain cut and muslin fabric to create the background panel for my giraffe. The giraffe was cut using the Everyday Pop-up Cards Cartridge.

And because even giraffes should have a little glitter......... ; )
