Sweet 16 Hello Kitty Album

Hello everyone

I'm back. I've been MIA for a long time but now I have some projects to share. I was trying to organize my hundreds of pics on my computer and I found a Hello Kitty album I made for my cousin's Sweet Sixteen long time ago. This album was featured in the Cricut Chirp Magazine back in 2010. I used the Hello Kitty cartridge for most of the embellishment. This Cricut cart has been discontinued and it's very popular on Ebay now. I also used  the following Cricut Cartridges: Blackletter, Lyrical letter, Accent Essentials, Mini Monogram, Story Book and for the album I used George and Basic Shapes using the Design Studio Program. Now ProvoCraft has the Cricut Craft Room, it's a free computer program where you can design and cut your project but it uses internet conection only. You will need to own the cartridges you want to design with or purchase the Digital Version. If you have any question let me know.

Have a good one :)

The last page is a mini album where she can add more pictures.

Merry Christmas to everyone

Hello friends.
Merry Chirstmas to everyone. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. Sorry I have been MIA for a while. I've been doing a lot of holiday projects for the family and haven't had time to post any picture. I just want to share one of the project I made for my DH co-worker this year. I decided to make some hot chocolate holders for them. I think it's a cute idea.

I downloaded the cup cutting file from the internet and I used my Pazzles Inspiration Cutter machine.

The top is a tag with the Merry Christmas sentiment and my DH name.

and of course I kept one from my tree. I hope you all like it and if you have any question let me know. Merry Chistmas!!!

My husband's 50th Birthday (Part 3)

Hello everyone. Are you ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow? This is one of my favorite time of the year. I can almost smell the Turkey and can't wait to get with the family to celebrate this special day. And after all that food and celebration head over blackfriday sales. Today is the last part of My Husband's 50th Birthday celebration. First I want to show you the decorations for the party. Remember the rosettes I made for his B-day (Part 1). I modified them a little bit with 70s cut files. I cut the peace signs using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutting Machine   I love the rosettes for Party decorations.

I also made a Disco Ball Piñata. It's the first time I made one and I really had fun. It was very hard to hide it from my husband.

And Finally I want to show you the cake. Everybody was taking about the cake. I asked a friend to make the cake with all the 70s colors and I decorated it using my Pazzles. Yes!!! you can also use the Pazzles Machine to decorate cakes, cookies, cupcakes, you name it (you don't need to buy a second machine). You just need a Pastry tool blade or you can also purchase the cake kit.

I decorated it using the same disco people I used for the invitation cards and I cut the letters with a 70s style look. Remember you can cut any letter you want with the Pazzles. I used sugar sheets for the letters and the disco people. I made the disco Ball out of Christmas Ornaments I found in Hobby Lobby.

My husband's 50th Birthday (Part 2)

Hello my friends. November is here and this year is almost over. I can't wait to start decorating my house. I'm a little behind with the Christmas cards but I hope to catch up later. Today it's the second part of my husband's 50th Birthday. As I told you before I wanted it to be special for him. I organized a surprise birthday party. It was difficult to make the preparations since I have to hide everything every time he got home from work, but I managed to keep it as a surprise for him.
First I made the party invitation cards. His surprise party was a 70s B-day theme. I couldn't find any paper for making the invitation so I designed the paper myself using My Memories Suite Program

I love this program. You can design any paper you want and any color your want. You only need a regular printer and you are ready to go. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollar on an expensive program to design your project. This is a simple program and so easy to use. If you are interested just click HERE and don't forget to use my code: STMMMS29935 and you will get $10 off the software (reduced price of only $29.95), plus you get a coupon for $10 for the My Memories online store. It is really fun! Go check it out.

I cut the Disco People using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutter Machine. This machine is amazing. I couldn't find any cut file related to Disco or 70s so I just downloaded this clip art from the Internet and cut it with my Pazzles. You can also make the shadow of any picture as well. I also used my Cricut Machine for the "You're Invited" sentiment. I purchase the Holographic Glitter Silver paper at Hobby Lobby. I like it because it's self-adhesive and also it's similar to a disco ball. Perfect for a 70s look.

Stay tune for part 3 (pictures of the party decoration coming soon)

If you have any question, let me know. Thanks

Halloween Wreath

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!  It's almost Halloween and today I want to share a wreath I made out of felt. I really had a lot of fun making this wreath, it's very easy to make. I used purple, orange and black felt. I cut the pieces by hand. You can do any shape you want, fold them twice and pin it to the wreath base, then open them and arrange them like flower. The bats are made with felt. I just cut a triangle shape with scalloped edges and then sewed them in the middle. I will probably make a tutorial later if you want. Also for some reason I couldn't get good picture of the beautiful purple on the wreath but here is the picture.

 I also made the "Happy Halloween" title using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutter machine . I totally love my Pazzles, you can make any title you want with any font and also make the outline or shadow for them. Isn't that amazing!!!!! I downloaded the font from dafont.com I can download any font I want and cut it with my Pazzles.

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed this project. If you have any question, let me know. Thanks

My Husband's 50th Birthday (Part 1)

Happy Fall everyone. It's finally fall and I love it. This month is very special because it's my husband's Birthday and this year he is turning the Big 50 so I wanted his birthday to be very special for him. The day of his birthday I wanted to surprise him and I decorated the table hanging some rosettes from the ceiling. I used Ribbon & Rossettes Cricut cartridge. I made them very big. I used Sentimental Cricut cartridge for the scalloped circles, Smiley Cards Cricut cartridge for Ha-p-B-Day, Life's a Party Cricut Cartridge for the 50 tag and cake and I also used Mickey font for the name Jerry. I welded the letters using my Gypsy.

I also made a Birthday Card using my Cricut Imagine. It was the fastest card ever. I made it in 15 min. I used Imagine More Card Cricut Imagine Cartridge.

This is my husband with his present. He liked the decoration.

My husband opening his present. He loves Fish tanks.

Very happy with his present.

And finally cutting the cake. I made his favorite pinapple upside down cake. Here is a the tip, if you don't have a candle with a number, just cut the number in cardstock, attach a toothpick in the back with hot glue and then use a regular candle. I cut the 50 number using Life's a party cricut cartridge  He had no clue that I was secretly planning a Surprise Party for him later that weekend (Part 2 coming soon). I hope you all enjoy it. If you have any question let me know.

Pinwheel Center Piece Gift

Happy Labor day everyone. I hope everybody is having a wonderful day. I can't wait for the summer to be over, It's so hot and I really want the weather to cool down a little bit. Today's project is a Pinwheel Center Piece gift I made for a friend's Birthday. I have seen these lollipop center piece before and I thought it was perfect for a Gift Card holder. But in this case I added some pinwheels to give it a more festive look.

First I printed the paper in my Cricut Imagine machine. Using the Cricut Imagine Hopscotch Cartridge I printed and cut a 8x8 square then a flipped the square over in the same spot and printed only the other side with a coordinated color. Now it's ready to cut. I decided to cut the pinwheel in my cricut expression but you can also cut it in the Cricut Imagine if you want.

If you don't have a cricut imagine, you can print any pattern paper in your regular printer. I used a wonderful software called My Memories Suite. This is a great program when you can design you own scrapbooking pages and it's easy to use. In this case I wanted a pattern paper to coordinate with my design and I didn't have any so this program has hundreds of different papers that you can use not only for digital scrapbooking but also for many projects like this one. Isn't that fabulous!!!! As you can see in the picture I printed an 8x8 square with a stripe pattern from the software. If you are interested just click HERE and don't forget to use my code: STMMMS29935  and you will get $10 off the software (reduced price of only $29.95), plus you get a coupon for $10 for the MyMemories online store. You can also make scrapbooks you can print at home or turn them into professionally printed books! It is really fun! Go check it out.

For the cut I used Teresa Collin Baby Boutique Cricut Imagine Cartridge. I love Teresa Collins designs, she is one of my favorite designers. I cut the pinwheel seven inches and put it together. Then I attached a wooden stick with hot glue and then cut a circle with a punch using the remaining paper and glued it down to hide the brad. In this case the pinwheels are for decoration and they won't spin.

Finally attached the gift card with hot glue. This is a Target Gift card which I thought it was perfect for my project because it's very colorful. I hope you have enjoyed this project and if you have any question, let me know.
