Fun with ....

my Cricut!

I splurged for myself and bought the new Cricut Debossing and Engraving tool tips. Still playing around with them so here's my first try at the Debossing tool.

I made a dragon from the Cricut Design Center and it puffed up nicely thanks to the deep groove from the debossing, however you can't see the detail as well.

I filled in with glitter glue lol, oh well next time might be the charm.

Back to having fun, blessings and hugs, Lori m

Scor-Pal.....

and Imagine That Digi Stamps, card and gift box.

Here, I used my Scor Pal to make the adorable box, the pattern is by Beate Johns called Tiny Takeout. Isn't it the cutest?

Along with the adorable box I added a Giraffe with coffee... card, from Imagine That Digi Stamps. Too cute.

Here's a few closer views...

There you have it, a quick... cute... little gift box and card set. 

The Tiny Take out box can easier hold a couple coffee pods, packets of sugar or sweetener or even hot cocoa.

Under the sea....

there lives all kinds of sea creatures and cute Baby Mermaids from Imagine That Digi Stamp.

Here's a quick card I put together using an adorable Baby Mermaid, my We R Memories Quill Pen and gold foil. I added an inside pop up for a little fun. The inside background fish were from my Cricut Design Space.

The beautiful sentiment was the perfect addition to my card and very much enjoyed freebie from Donna Ellis. Thank you Donna.

So here are the few things I dabble with.

1.  Maka 
2.  Valko
3.  A6 Pink Equinox papers
4.  Tree Scene

Exciting news....

I'm doing the Happy Dance, back on the Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge.

Gosh I missed being on this team and it feels so good to be a Design Team Member along with the wonderful ladies over there.

This challenge runs for two weeks starting July 30th-August 13th. We hope you'll join us.

Here is the pretty monochrome yellow challenge inspiration photo.

Here's my DT Challenge entry: I chose a Z-Fold card style which is hard to see from my photo. The digi stamp is one from A Day For Daisies which I acquired awhile ago. 

Well that's it for today, off to dance around, I'm still on cloud nine being part of this wonderful team.

Blessings and hugs, Lori m
 

A new

challenge site for me. I'm giving it a whirl over at Lavinia World Challenges.

Using one of my Wolf stamp Maka and glossy accents here's my first attempt. I love wolves and this stamp had my name on it, glad it finally came back into stock.

Here's my card:

The other stamps were from stamp sets I had on hand. Enjoy!

Had a little hiccup on my blog this morning with a new post....stay tuned for great news tomorrow.

Blessings and hugs, Lori m

Its time

for Double D's challenge. So many ideas and so many good challenge choice to choose from the design board. Stop over and check out all the beautiful DT inspirational cards and member entries.

Here's my take and as you see I chose the black and gold theme. Using my Cricut Maker along with my We R Memories foil quill pen and foil this is what I came up with.

 

Really loving the this foil quill pen it almost looks like metal on the card.

OK that's it for today, blessings and hugs, Lori m
