Cricut Meets Cork

So I had this thought that it would be so cool to decorate a plate with cork.  I pulled out my Cricut and my adhesive cork and set out to see if it would work.  I used a file that I found on The Free SVG Blog.  It cut pretty well, although I did have to clean up a few straggly pieces.  I cut it with the multi cut feature set to cut twice using the deep cut blade on 6, the pressure on 5 and the speed on 3.  I wouldn’t advice cutting it three times, as it was starting to crumble the edges a bit after the second time. 

After I cut it, I used some Angel Wings Shimmer paint to give it a little shimmer.  It looks great and I really love the texture!

I would love to see what you cut with cork.  Please leave a comment and share your link.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sock Cupcakes

I have been making the most adorable sock cupcakes.  They are so much fun to make and are wonderful gifts.  I purchased the SVG cupcake wrapper files from the Studiofrog Etsy store and cut them with my Cricut.  They fit perfectly in the treat bags you  find in the baking aisle.  I just tied them with some ribbon,  made a tag and attached it with some baker’s twine.  (I love The Twinery’s bakers twine!)  So easy to make for gifts…or sell.

Thanks for stopping by!

More Vinyled Chargers

And a plate

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.  We are taking the kids to the Gingerbread Celebration today.  They are attending the workshop and will get to make gingerbread houses with the chefs.  I love it because there is no mess for me to clean up. :)

Thanks for  stopping by.

Thanksgiving Plates

 

Some charges that I embellished with some gold vinyl using SCAL.  I used Michelle’s cornucopia SVG for the cornucopia plate.  All other designs are mine.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

The Right Pair of Shoes

I saw a tile like this on the Cricut board a while ago and had to make my own version of it.  In pink, of course!  I designed the file in SCAL.

Have a  wonderful weekend!

Anything But A Card

Isn’t this saying just beautiful?  After 22 years of marriage, this is still the way I feel about my husband. 

This is a 6 inch tile that I made.   I used SCAL 2 to cut the vinyl from an SVG file I purchased from My Vinyl Designer.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Anything But A Card

It’s that time of year when we start thinking about Christmas gifts, so I thought I would use Saturday blog posts to share some gifts that I have made.  This is a dinner plate  that I vinyled.  I created this design using SCAL 2 software and cut the vinyl with my Cricut Expression.  I think this would make a wonderful Christmas gift, what do you think?

Have a blessed weekend!

Vinyl Crazy

It has been way too long since I have posted.  School has started in the Murray household and we are getting back into a routine.  A very welcome thing for everyone!  I am hoping to get back into my regular blogging schedule soon.  In the meantime, I thought I would share what I have been up to this summer.  I have been falling more in love with my Cricut and vinyl everyday (or at least every time I use it.)  There are infinite possibilities!

I have recently been asked by a local store owner to sell my cards and gift items on consignment, which is very exciting for me.  So…here are some of the things that have been keeping me busy.

This first item is actually a tile I made for my husband for our anniversary.  He loves for me to make him gifts he can put in his office.

Here are some things I’ve made for the store.

I have some others that I have made recently that I will share after I get some photos taken.  Just wanted to let everyone know I am still alive and kicking. 

*For my fellow bloggers on my blogging groups- I haven’t forgotten you, I just haven’t spent a lot of time on the computer blog hopping.  I hope to get by all of your blogs in the next few days.  I am so sorry!

Have a blessed day!

More info-The anniversary and “real men” designs were designed by me.  The other three in the middle were designs I purchased at www.myvinyldesigner.com.

Summer…and vinyl

It’s summer, and in the Murray household that means getting doing everything I don’t find the time to do during the school year.  I have been busy decluttering, reorganizing, rearranging and redecorating.  The work is hard, but I am loving the results and I thought I would share some of the what I have been up to so you don’t think I have fallen off the face of the earth. 

I LOVE my Cricut and cutting vinyl and all the fun stuff that I can do with it.  I have been wanting to add some sayings to my walls for such a long time and decided this was the summer I was going to make it happen.  This is what I’ve done.

My family room.

I added this saying above the pictures.  I absolutely love this saying (scripture).  What more could a mom ask for than to have all her children walk in truth!  I updated all my pictures and converted them to black and white using my new software Lightroom.  I have been teaching myself how to use Lightroom this summer, and I really adore this program.  I realize all you can see in the pictures is reflections, sorry about that.

This is actually the same room, but the lighting is different, so funny.  I added the vinyl around our wedding picture.  I can’t believe we will be celebrating our 22nd anniversary this Thursday!  I guess I need to get busy and make my hubby a card.

My craft room.

I love this saying and knew I had to have it in my craft room.  Stamping vs. cleaning, which one would you choose?  I need to figure out a way to have the best of both worlds.

I love this saying, too.  I thought it was so appropriate for my craft room as it really is those little details that make a project a WOW project.

And last but not least, my bathroom.

A reminder to smile!

I have one more saying that I put up in my kitchen, but the vinyl that I used is so light that it doesn’t show up on my wall.  So disappointing…so I need to do it over…someday.

It is time for me to change modes and gear up for the school year.  I have schedules to make and lesson plans to prepare and the school room still needs to be decluttered and reorganized.  I am really dreading that project, but I know the results will make it all worthwhile…and it is a necessary thing for a successful school year. 

I will try not to be MIA so long this time.  I hope to be back to my regular posting schedule and have some new WORDart in September.  Til then I will check in every so often to share what I’ve been up to.  Thanks for being patient with me.

21

My oldest daughter turned 21 this week.  It is so hard to believe 21 years have passed since the day she came into this world.  She has matured into quite the young lady and I am so proud of her.  She is so sweet and beautiful on the inside as well as the outside and I feel so blessed to be her mom.

For her card I used the Shapes by Design set (PTI) on the bottom in Hawaiian Shores ink.  On the top portion of the card I used Dot Spot in Pure Poppy and Hawaiian Shores ink.  I cut a strip of pure poppy cardstock with the Medium scallop border die and used score tape to add the strips of glitter.  The numbers are cut with my Cricut using the Base Camp cartridge and run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I added a little bit of Pure Poppy twill ribbon tied around the number 2 and then adhered them to the card with foam tape to make them pop up a little.   The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Shapes by Design set. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a blessed day!

a wedding card and gift

We attended a winter themed wedding, so I made this winter themed card.  I used the snowflakes Cuttlebug folder and added some adhesive gems to it.  I matted it onto Spring Rain cardstock and then tied some satin and organdy ribbon around it.  I then adhered it all onto the white card base. 

For the gift, I once again used my Cricut to make my favorite personalized gifts.  I love making these. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Christmas Rewind – Framed Monograms

Ok, this is it.  After this post, I am officially finished posting Christmas gifts. 

I had so much fun making these.  Once again, I used my Cricut. The designs were purchased from www.myvinyldesigner.com.  I love my Cricut!
I hope I didn’t bore you too much with Christmas gifts.  I know people have moved on to Valentine’s day already.  I still have my Christmas tree up…can’t seem to find the time to take it down.  It’s weird, you know.  You can’t find the time to put it up and then you can’t find the time to take it down.  Am I the only one?  Guess what I’m doing this weekend?!?! 
Have a great day.  Take time to be thankful!

Congrats, Son! You did it!

My son graduated from high school this past Sunday. I am so incredibly proud of him! The graduation was held at the Historical Gettysburg Hotel and the ceremony had a historical atmosphere with period music and a speech by a President Lincoln impersonator. He graduated with 43 other homeschoolers. It was a really great time.
This is the card I made for him. I typed the scripture and printed it, then used a Labels One die to cut it. The numbers were cut with my Cricut using the Street Sign cartridge and the graduation cap is a Sizzix die. I made the tassel using embroidery floss and wrapped it around a button. I adhered the cap with pop dots to give it dimension.
Have a blessed day!

What I've been doing with my Cricut

I love cutting vinyl with my Cricut. I used the Sure Cuts a Lot software to make these floating frames. Sure Cuts a Lot is awesome. You can cut any True Type font or dingbat with your Cricut. I've had so much fun playing with it.
My niece is very into drama, so I thought I would make her her own "name in lights sign". The lighthouse picture was a gift to my brother-in-law from my husband. He wanted me to make him something using lighthouses and this saying. The lighthouse was a dingbat that I simplified in Photoshop Elements and then cut with the Sure Cuts a Lot software.
I used the Cricut cartridge Street Sign and the Cricut Design software to make this street sign for my nephew.
Have a great day!

Home Decor

I made this saying to go in my foyer with my Cricut. I have been wanting to try this for so long. The truth is, I was scared to death. I was so afraid I would ruin my only 2 pieces of vinyl. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. The only real problem was that I am such a perfectionist and had to get it just right. Looking at this picture, I can still see some imperfections, but, since I am not going to be staring at it for long, I think I can let it go.
I could not find the color that I was looking for to make the word "Christ", so I decided to try making my own. I used white repositionable contact paper that I bought at Walmart and applied Adirondack Alcohol inks to get the color I was looking for. It worked perfectly, and added a really nice textural interest to the letters. I tried to capture it in the picture below, but I am not really sure how well you can see it. I am really happy about the way this turned out and can't wait to make more.
