A Bug for My VW

Posted on July 20, 2011 by apieceoflifespie

So, I must admit, I am in love with my Cricut Expressions. Since I am already on a kick with vinyl, I decided to make a vinyl sticker for my back car window of the Criuct mascot. I think he turned out pretty cute! This was the first time I ever cut vinyl on my Cricut and it cut like BUTTER! Super easy and fun project!

Recipe:

Cricut Cartridge: Potpourri Basket
Settings: Blade 5, pressure high, speed medium size 4 1/2 inches.
Lime Green Outdoor Vinyl from http://www.expressionsvinyl.com/(it was $1.49 a 12×12 sheet – a total steal!)
Cricut Design Studio (totally not necessary to have. I just got it and this was the first project I did with it) – The size of the Cricut Mascot is about 4 1/2 inches.
I did have transfer tape on hand, but did not need it – it may have made placing the eyes simpler.

A Hip Cowgirl Kind of Card

Posted on July 10, 2011 by apieceoflifespie

I just made this card per request for a hip cowgirl that is named Jane (hence the “J”).

Supplies:

Cricut Cartridges: Create a Critter (under horse setting size 3 inches) and Storybook (scallop) – Shift/Shadow/M size 2 inches and 1 1/2

Paper: Michael’s bulk individual sheet for the embossed light pink daisy

Paper: Zebra print and solid dark pink – Anna Griffin Payton Collection Stack – Michael’s

Stamps: Stampin’ Up whimsical lower case alphabet

Stamp Ink: Stampin’ Up Classic Black

Card Base: $ bin at Michael’s. They came in sets of 8 with envelopes.

Ribbon. Celebrations line from Michael’s.

I used the faux chipboard technic from My Pink Stamper for the horse shoe and added “bling” on the nail cutouts.
