Kawaii Krafts

Good afternoon everyone! I am wrapping up all Valentine's Day treats/holders for my kiddos today. I made a little Valentine's Day treat holder out of a tag from the Cricut TBBM (Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More) cartridge. I measured the bottom portion of the tag and cut a piece of Kraft cardstock and had sewn that to the tag. After I added the grass (used a Fiskars border punch), lake, grass, lily pad, and frog (all from Create a Critter) I used the We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper to round off the bottom of the tag. I used a stamp from Stampin' Up from the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and then attached the dragonfly I cut from the Create a Critter cartridge. The little eyes on the dragonfly are bling from iRock. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend everyone!;0) I am entering this in a challenge, here is the link: http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2012/02/throwback-thursday-challenge-episode.html

Good evening everyone!!! I got a little crafty today and made TWO projects.:0) The first is a little shadow box that has been sitting around my craftroom for a while. I am so glad that I finally made something to put in it.:0) My thoughts for this is.....try and make a seasonal shadow box. I know it isn't that close to Spring yet....but the weather in south TX tells me otherwise. lol Ok.....here is what I used for the shadow box.... Spring Shadow box shadow box: Michael's cardstock: Recollections, (old) SU, and DCWV Nana's Nursery (has the cutest designs!!!) border punch: Fiskars Cartridges: Spring Fever Holiday (SPRING) and Create a Critter The second project I worked on today.....is a paper heart ornament I am pretty sure I picked up at Michael's. I was "going" to put the frog, lily pad, grass, and lake in the shadow box....but it was too big...so it is here on the ornament. Here is what I used in the project: paper heart ornament: Michael...

Good Morning !!! Here is a bag I decorated for my son to take to school for Valentine's Day. I used (patterned) DCWV paper as well as (plain) Recollections paper.

Good evening everyone! I found some super cute brown envelopes a few weeks back at Archiver's. It was $2.99 for 12 envelopes (4 x 3.75 in). I thought it would be cute to put the little envelopes inside the treat bags for my daughter's class. I am linking this up with http://www.pinkcricut.com/2012/01/to-link-party/ What are You up to?

Good evening everyone!!!! I just finished making some Christmas Memory Cards for my son's class to use at their Christmas party.:0) I purchased two sets of chipboard coasters at Michael's; they were in the $1.50 bin. I attached the cardstock (Recollections) with double-stick tape. After that I sanded the edges of the cardstock down with a foam sanding block. One side of the coaster is white...I used that side to place the shape. The Christmas theme was the side I covered with cardstock. Here are the cartridges I used to create this. From My Kitchen: gingerbread man Hello Kitty Greetings: snowman Winter Frolic: tree and mouse with gift Doodlecharms: Santa Create a Critter:reindeer Paper used: K&C Company and Recollections Have a great weekend everyone!!!;0)

Happy Monday morning everyone!!! Here is a little (last minute) table place setting/treat holder I made this morning. Here is all the ingredients I used.... paper: Recollections carts: TBBM and Create a Critter Wishing you all a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!: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)                ...

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)

Good afternoon!!!! Yesterday I made some cards for my son's teacher. I found a cute (old school) white pencil box at Michael's. It cost less than $2.00. I decorated the outside of the box using the same paper I put on the notecards. I really wanted to use the Cuttlbebug apple emobss card....that is what motivated me:P Here is what I used for the project: Printed cardstock: DCWV Grade School Stack Plain cardstock: old (SU) Paper punch: Fiskars Raffia: Wal-mart Cartridge: Create a Critter

Here are a few tags I worked on yesterday and today. I have been using the Marvy round scallop and round paper punch on a lot of the tags. All the paper used is (old) SU. The pumpkin, leaves,  and tree are from the CAC (Create a Critter) cartridge. The caveman and alien are from Paper Doll Dress Up. The rooster is from From my Kitchen. The snake is from Campin Critters.

Here are two cards I made today using the Create a Critter cartridge. The alligator was used with all (old) SU cardstock. The zebra was used with (old) SU cardstock as well as Recollections (black) and GP (GeorgiaPacific-white) cardstock. I used the cuttlebug to emboss the cards.

Here are two cards I was working on this am and last night. One is a little more plain than the other, it doesn't have embossing or glitter. Both cards I used (old) SU cardstock. I used the cuttlebug to emboss the water and fish. All shapes were cut using the Create a Critter cartridge. The glitter used was from MS.
