Calling Card for Ohio Circle Meet-up

Hi All! I can't believe that it is July 21st already! It has been a crazy month, and I have been crafting like crazy to get the two Ohio Cricut Circle meet-up items done before today.

Well Here is my Calling Card:


Most cuts were from Camping Critters, except the car which is from Locker Talk. I also used my Imagine and the Best Friends Cartridge to make the patterned paper used for the map.

For the cute deer, I used liquid applique on his belly and tail. When you heat it, it puffs up. I glues two different sized googily eyes on him to match the crazy eyes that are on the animals on this cartridge. I flood filled a large rectangle on the Imagine using a pattern from the Best Friends cartridge. I then cut the map/belly layer out on my E2, so the cut sizes would be consistent. I folded the map to give it some extra dimension.

For the sign I used the shift-cut on page 57 for the base of the sign, and the shift cut on page 56 for the top layer. I then used a small stamp set I have to stamp on Ohio and Illinois..

The Car was cut from Locker Talk. I only cut the front half of the bottom layer of the car, and the font bumper. The wheel is a random circle also cut from Locker talk. I used a regular hole punch for the hubcap. I added a little glossy accents over the headlight spot.

I did emboss the base of the card with the Seeing spots Cuttlebug folder, but you can not really see that, since I didn't take a picture of the back side of my card.

All paper used was Bazzil except the blue layer in front which is DCWV Adhesive- backed paper.

I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks on various pieces to add some definition. I just love using these inks. I am on a mission to collect them all!

I will make another post today to share the magnets I made to trade.

Then I need to get ready to leave for Ohio!

Have a Great and Crafty Day!

I am so excited that the Cricut Circle Magazine Staff chose MY ornament as the winning entry in the November Ornament contest.



Thank You Cricut Circle!

Here is the original post.

My Cricut Circle Bracelet

Here is a photo of my Circle Bracelet. We received the charm bracelet with the green charm for joining the Circle. When you attend a meet-up you are given a blue charm. I have been to three meet-ups so far, and I had received three blue charms so I altered them to say the location of the meet-up and the year, so I will always remember where each charm was from.

I used ink jet transparency paper, and Diamond Glaze dimensional Adhesive.

I printed the State/date on the transparency film. Then I cut it to fit the back side of the charm. I glued it on with the Diamond Glaze. After the back dried, then I put a coat of Diamond Glaze on the front to seal in the ink jet printing.

The white charms were buttons I received from the first meet-up at CHA. I used my Fiskars craft drill to drill the holes in them after I removed the pin shank. Then I attached them to the bracelet using jump rings.

French Manor Wall Art

Here is a project I did for a Cricut Circle Contest using the French Manor Cartridge.
Here is a close up of the peacock. I cut the tail layer twice, once in blue and once in green. I then used stickles on each layer for a little sparkle.

Cricut Circle Calling Card Book

I made a small book of all the Circle cards I collected at CHA last week.

I took 3.75 x 6" treat bags and cut them down to 4.25 inches. Then I cut a piece of Recollections Cardstock to 3.75" x 2" and scored it at 1". I inserted the calling card in the pouch, taped it shut and then taped the folded cardstock over the opening to give it strength. I cut a stiff piece of chipboard for the back for support. I then used my Crop-o-dile and punched two holes in the top for binding. I used two o-rings and some older ribbon to complete the book. I can open the o-rings and add more cards as I collect them. I look forward to adding more cards to my book.

Cricut Circle Calling Card

The Cricut Circle requested that members make Calling Cards, to share and to use for drawings. Their only requirement was that they be 3x3.

I made the Circle Logo using my Gypsy to weld the circle from French Manor and quotation marks on George for the antennae.

I used the Mermaid tag feature on life's a beach sized to fit inside the circle.

I colored the mermaid using Colorbox ink, LePlume II markers, and Sakura Gelly Roll star pens.
