Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells Album in a Box

Hi everyone,
Today, I am sharing a fun project using supplies from the Cutters Creek Store. The owner, Kim had a pre-order of Graphic 45's new Halloween paper Steampunk Spells. I used the 12x12 for this project. I also used a pre-made cardboard book box that I got from Michaels - it was found in the unfinished wood section.

To prepare the box, I painted it with Gesso and then black paint. After the paint dried, I rubbed Gold leaf Rub n Buff streaking it in places so the black would show through and I think that it looks aged. I cut the cover images from the paper and attached it to the book box using Glue n Seal. The flowers are also cut from the paper and I used gold stickles on it.

Many of the products that I used for the mini album, I received as part of the Cutters Creek Store Yahoo Group. If you click on the link, you can join the group and get information on how to join the many clubs available. What is nice about the clubs is you can grow your collection and get new supplies monthly in an economical way.

I created the album using scor-tape, Basic Grey magnets and Velcro from the adhesive club. I hope that you like my project today. Be sure to watch the video to see everything in action.

Thanks so much for visiting today,

Vinyl Project #1

Hi everyone, I was lucky enough to receive some fun vinyl from Cricket Vinyl Supplies. The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog team will be making projects using vinyl in fall colors for the FCCB Challenge on September 9. . We encourage everyone to join in the challenge and Cricket Vinyl is giving all of my readers 15% off their order so that everyone can join in.

 I made a project using the vinyl sent to me.

 

I started off with this wood plaque that I got from Joann's. I painted it with Gesso and then black acrylic paint. I used this fun purple and white vinyl to make my sign. The font is CTMH Art Philosophy.

 

 

There are tons of videos on how to cut vinyl with your cricut. Christy Nelson has a great one that will help you get started. I hope that you will all join the challenge there will be a great prize so order your vinyl if you don't have any.

Paperbag Tag Mini Album

Hi everyone,

I have a project to share that is just plain fun. I am a practical crafter. It's really hard for me to just craft and not have a plan on what I'm going to do with the finished project. I recently purchased some Prima doll stamps and tag pad and made some really fun tags using washi tape and lots of bling and flowers from my stash. I used paper pads from Cutters Creek 6x6 paper pad club to paper piece the doll dresses (Authentique Remembrance and Echo Park For the Record 2 Documented.

 The doll stamps are quite large, about 7 inches long and they were so pretty but what to do with them? I watched a tutorial on a Paperbag Tag album from Live with Prima. I decided that it would be a great way to scrapbook my daughter's dance year and also include my fun tags! I used a 12x12 paper pad from my stash as well as the Authentique Remembrance paper pad. The closure is a Basic Grey magnet that I received in the Cutters Creek adhesive club. Other products I used include Scor-tape, ATG, Rosa Anna Griffin embossing folder, stickles, copic markers and my Cricut.

I also made my own crinkle ribbon using seam binding and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in pomegranate.

It's so much easier to show you my project in a video so I have all of the details in there.
