All Baked Out

Hello crafty friends, 

It's Suzanne here from Cricut craftin grammy ready to share another amazing cut file from Paper Crafting World.  I created this page to either use with yummy Christmas baking pictures or for the pics of our yearly Gingerbread house decorating.  Can't you just almost smell the yummy fragrance of gingerbread or cookies baking in the oven?  

I thought the exhausted gingerbread cutie was perfect since this is the way you feel after a long day of baking and decorating.  

The paper was old Christmas paper I had in my stash.  I added inking to the gingerbread and a little white Pearl Pen.  I used a fine black Sharpie for the eyes.  

Thanksgiving Turkey banner

 Hello everyone- this is Suzanne from Cricutcraftingrammy here to share my Fall banner. 

I love the PCW cut file for the Turkey 1101 

 You can make this mighty fine turkey standing or sitting. 

I also had leaves and acorns left over 

 from my Wreath  Project I did earlier this month using the Fall Wreath Cut file.  

The turkey was cut, inked and glued together.  

The leaves and acorns were cut, inked and some were embossed.  

I found these Trick or Treat fabric doilies at Michaels for 70% off so used them 

as the base covering up the words with the turkeys and leaves.  

The Give Thanks ribbon is also from Michaels. 

Here is a closeup of  the turkey and leaves on the banner.  

I hope my banner has inspired you to join us for the November challenge.  Maybe you would like to create some decorations for Thanksgiving or create a layout or card.  It is up to you.  Check out all the awesome files at Paper Crafting World.  and link up on the PCW blogspot.  

Fall Wreath Decor

Hello everyone this is Suzanne cricutcraftingrammy here to share a project for Paper Crafting World. I love Fall Colors even though in Southern California we don't get a lot of them.  

So I decided to create a Fall wreath for some fun colorful decor.  

I had an old green 12" styrofoam wreath but you could use any size or a straw wreath for this  project.  I went to Michaels and found this beautiful Red Heart Supersaver yarn called Cherry Cola.  

It was only a few dollars.  

So I tied the yarn and began to wrap.  Keep the yarn tight and laid flat on the wreath.  When I finished covering the wreath I tied the end off and tucked it in.  

Here is what the wreath looks like all wrapped with yarn and believe me there was plenty of yarn 

left if you wanted to make another one or maybe even two.  

 I then cut a bunch of the different leaf shapes in various Fall colors using the 

Fall Wreath cut file .  My leaves are around 3 for the 12 inch wreath but you can make them larger or smaller for your wreath size.  I filled a page with a leaf  and also cut some out of scraps to get color varients.  I then embossed some of the leaves with various embossing folders to give them texture and inked the edges and some of embossing.  Then I cut out the acorns at 2 inches and embossed the tops and inked edges.  

Then I got out my handy glue gun and glued away till I was happy with the way it looked.  

I still have some leaves left which I will use in another project this month.

Hope you enjoyed my project.  

For November the challenge is Anything goes and the twist this month is to use the color red.

Check out the files at Paper Crafting World and the projects on the blog by the other designers.  

We would love to have you join us and link up your project.  

I Fall 4 U Layout

Hello everyone!  Are you having crisp weather with beautiful Fall leaves all around?  If so I am totally jealous.  I would love to be wearing a sweater right now, rather than taking the grandkids to the pumpkin patch with us all in shorts and flip flops.  It has been a little cooler but still warm even for Southern California.  

For my project for PCW  I just fell in love with this cute little cutting file Fall bear with his sweater and banner.  I also added the Fall pumpkins and leaves cut file.  

The sweater is actually cut from Halloween paper that had some little lines that made it look knitted.  

I inked all the edges and added some dimension lines.  

The pumpkins, acorns and  leaves were cut out, inked and then I drew lines with Copic markers to give them dimension.  I then used a punch to make the cute little banner with some scrap ribbon.  

They are attached with my Tim Holtz Tiny attacher.  

The paper is Doodlebug Friendly Forest paper from last year.  

 

Here is a closeup of the bear and you can see the pattern on the paper

 I used to make it look like a sweater.  

I hope you will check out the PCW Blog everyday to see what the design team has created to inspire you,  We are having a challenge for October which we would love to have you join in.  

Boy and girl birthday turtle cards

Today for PCW I created two birthday cards using the Birthday girl and boy turtle files.  These files are available in digital stamps.  You can print the color files or print them in black and white and color them in with your markers or colored pencils.  So either way your all set for a cute cute birthday card.  

For my cards I chose to print in color and add a cutout 3 and 5 in coordinating colors.  

For my cards I made a Twisted Easel Card.  You can find a video HERE.  For my base I used a 6 x 12 cardstock piece with a 6 x y piece for the diagonal front.  

I used coordinating papers with the colors one in boy hues and one in girlish hues.  I also added tiny buttons and ribbon and flowers.  

For the corners I used a Corner Chomper to make the corners fancy.  

Here are the two cards closed 

Here is the girl card with ribbon and flowers.  The Happy Birthday cake circle is from the turtle file and for this one I used the print in color.  I pop dotted it to hold the easel in place and added a Happy Birthday phrase using a Martha Stewart punch.  

For the boy card I added tiny buttons and used the black and white birthday circle that came with the file and colored it with markers to match the balloon colors.  

Don't forget we are having a challenge this month at PCW.  

You can create anything for the challenge with the optional twist of using a pumpkin or leaves.  

Check out the PCW blog each day for some inspiration and join us for the challenge.  

PCW Design Team project with Snow white and Pirate bears

Hello crafty friends- This is Suzanne from Cricutcraftingrammyblogspot 

here to share my first October for PCW.  

I am really excited to share the layout I created with Melin's awesome files.  

I knew I had some perfect pictures of our recent trip to Disneyland for the Halloween Party.  

We loved all the decorations and even were able to get the hard to find Snow Poison Apple mug 

(picture full of ice cream.) I am a huge Snow White fan so was thrilled to add it to my collection.    

I used the following cut files 

Bear as Snow White with Candy Cut file 

Bear Pirate with chest and candy Cut file 

Pumpkins corner vine Cut file 

I wanted to show you a few pics of how I put together the files like this that have a lot of pieces.  

I cut around the entire outside of the piece to get a base.  

Then I cut out the little pieces and place them on black paper so they are easy to see.  

The black pieces are on orange scrap.  

By using the base I can better get my arms, legs and other pieces in the right place.  

I ink my cut edges and or use chalk.  For the leaves I bent them some for dimension and used Copic markers to add veins.  I also used a white gel pen and black ink for the face. I used glitter paper to bling out the clothes and bow.  

Here is a closeup of the Snow White bear 

I followed the same procedure for the pirate bear.

Now I have shared my project I hope you are inspired to create a share a project with PCW.  

The October Challenge is Anything Goes with an optional twist to use pumpkins or leaves.  

Drop in at PCW each day for a new project by one of the amazing designers.  

Paper Crafting World- Count your Blessings

Hello crafty friends from Suzanne at CricutcraftinGrammy .  We can officially say it's Fall now, as of September 23, but it sure doesn't feel like it in Southern California.  
 I love decorating for Fall and all the fun activities that go with it.  

For my project I used Melin's file at PCW Count your Blessings.  I used Doodlebug  paper from last year called Happy Harvest and of course used a Fall color palette.  

The paper I used for the sign was wood look paper, and then I used the cute little leaves paper which matched the PCW design and the green plaid paper.  

I used scraps for the cute little pumpkins and leaves so I  had different colors of orange, tan, and green.  I embossed and inked each pumpkin and leaf.  For ink I used Quick Quotes Powder Puff Inks.  

The little tags are from the Doodlebug Happy Harvest sticker page and I matted then and them pop dotted them.  I added two little raffia bows with brown buttons, in my stash, 
at the top of the mat pages.  

Now I have a page ready for some pics of the grandkids this Fall.
