Kawaii Krafts

Good afternoon everyone!!:0) Here are a few decorations I have been working on. I am not sure if you can see, but I used the plastic cover to the mat to make the wrapper for the candy. I set the cutting speed to 4, to make sure the plastic did not tear. If you to try this.....make sure to use a very sticky mat.;0) I will try and go back in a bit and label what cartridge the shape was from. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.:0) Paper used: (old) SU, Recollections, DCWV, and K&Company Cartridges used: +Winter Frolic Snow much fun girl skating boy on sled girl holding gift christmas tree +Create a Critter reindeer +Simply Charmed stocking candy candy cane happy holidays santa mitten and cap +In your kitchen platter cookies gingerbread men +Everyday Paper Dolls boy with skis girl with snowboard

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. I know we did.;0) It's so nice to visit family and ALSO have family come and visit us as well.:0) I am so excited!!!!! I was curious to see who won the challenge (this am) and found out I was one of the top three winners on Cooking with Cricut.   http://www.cookingwithcricut.com/2011/11/winners-announced_25.html#comment-form My cute little blinkie is on the  top of my page:0)

Good afternoon!!! Here is my updated version of the rosette turkey. If you would like directions, I followed the Pumpkin Rosette directions and then added my own details. For the pumpkin rosetted directions, please go to the Turkey Rosette post previouslly posted.;0) This is what I did to alter the Pumpkin Rosette: I did not make the first rosette (2 strips of 1 1/2 x 12 inch-top layer),  instead I made two of the bottom size rosettes (2 strips of 1 3/4 x 12 inch) ,  one on top ... one on the bottom. For the tail: I cut a scalloped circle and glued the paper to that, making a half rosette. If you pinch the inner part of the paper it is easier to (hot) glue to the scalloped circle. Ingredients: Recollections paper                     (old) SU paper (red and orane)                     oval shapped Wiggle eyes (Michael's)                     1 3/8 circle punch (I think) SU                      scalloped circle punch (Marvy)                      Create a Critter (ca

Good afternoon!!!! I realized I never posted a picture of my first rosette pumpkin. If you are looking for instructions on how to create this cute project please look below at the previous post: Rosette Turkey. I posted a blog page that has a video tutorial;0) I used all Recollections paper on this project. I let my 3yr old paint the pumpkin. It looks rustic, I thought she did a good job:0)

Good afternoon everyone!!! I made a rosette this morning. I was wanting to make some sort of Thanksgivng decoration for my son's teacher and this is what I came up with. I found the directions for the rosette here: http://mrsbscraftroom.blogspot.com/ Go check out here blog if you haven't been there before. She made a beautiful pumpkin rosette.:0) AND she made a video to show you how to make it.;0) I followed the instructions she had and made the brown rosette. I added an extra rosette on the top, I believe it was 2 1/2 x 12 (2 pieces). What I added: 3 strips of 4 x 12 scored at 1/2 inch intervals. I made a 1/2 rosette. At the bottom (to hold it together) is about a 2x12 strip of the same cardstock glued to the rosette. The cartridge I used was Create a Critter. The cardstock I used was: rosette and turkey (Recollections) and the rest was (old) SU. Let me know if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!!!:0)
