Cricut Circle Card - Cup of Tea

Hi Everyone! I know it has been forever since I have posted anything...I sure have missed you all! Here is a circle card I created in Cricut Design Space. I used the Print then Cut feature in this card. I think this would be a sweet Thank You or Thinking of You card.

2016: Ready to Get Started

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I am ready to get back to crafting. Here is a sneak peak of my upcoming winter card. I will be making a video tutorial on how to assemble this cute card...so stay tuned and share with a friend. I have a lot to share with you in this new year.

Hocus Pocus Card ~ Halloween Card Series #2

I wanted to share the second card in my 2015 Halloween Card Series. She is a glittery witch brewing up some Hocus Pocus. I created this card in Cricut Design Space and used my Cricut Explore to cut out all the elements; except for the card base. The card base is a standard A2 portrait card. All images are included in the Cricut Design Space subscription. I will be giving a card kit that includes all the cut pieces and bling featured in this card. Details and Cricut Design Space link for cut file at end of post. There is also a YouTube video tutorial to help you recreate this card...

 

Giveaway and Finally my first tutorial ~ Sunflower Box Card

Hey Everyone,

This post has been a long time coming. I created my Sunflower box card back in July and my goal was to create a video tutorial for this particular card since then. I had purchased Pinnacle Studio 18 video editing software shortly after and have worked here and there to learn how to use this program. It was overwhelming at first but I love it to say the least. The video is a 2 part series and is a little long but I didn't want to miss any details. I would appreciate your feedback on the my tutorial. I would love for you to become a subscriber to my YouTube channel 'The Electric Poppy Creates' https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngF9lrEBPNbcedErvNxuiQ

Giveaway...we all love a giveaway! I will pick one winner (must be a subscriber) in the next 2 weeks - you will be receiving a Sunflower Box Card Kit.

Sunflower Box Card

Hi Crafters! Here is my Summer project I created for the Aldina Rose group on Facebook. Since it is now August, I thought of late Summer for inspiration. And naturally sunflowers came to mind; they are my favorite. I also gave this to my mother as her birthday card.

Please, become a follower and e-mail to this subscriber to my blog. Why...I will be sharing directions and the Cricut Design Space file I used to create this box card this upcoming weekend.

The base I created from objects in the Craft Room cartridge. All items are free or in the subscription in Cricut Design Space. Please tell me what you think. I really appreciate your comments. All pictures belong to The Electric Poppy and Kimberly Sisco. You may share but please give credit.

Hot Air Balloon Redo

Hello Crafters! Have you ever made a project and were just not completely happy with it? Happens to me all the time. My last card was a perfect example. I was not happy with the background, the clouds, etc... It was not as I had imagined. So, I made a new card and I am much happier with the results. I added some extra clouds to create balance and heat embossing. Again, I used my Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space to create this card. I share my Cricut Design Space link at the end of this post.

AFTER

CRICUT CARD: HOT AIR BALLOON & GIVEAWAY

Hello my crafty friends. It is a cloudy, rainy day here in Southwest Missouri. So what is a girl to do...get crafty. I decided to make a card I have been thinking about for a while...a hot air balloon card. I used my Cricut Explore and Cricut Design Space to help me create this little card. At the end of this post I share the link to the Cricut Design Space file for this particular card. Also, I will be giving this card away...details at the end of this post.

Simple and Easy Cards #1

Hello Crafters,

I have been away for awhile due to changing jobs and going through extensive training for the last few months. But now I am finally making my way back to the craft room...Yea! I wanted to share some simple and easy cards I created recently. I love my Cricut die cutting machine but I am falling in love with fussy cutting. This is challenging to me so I have been practicing. Also, I am trying to come up with ideas to create simple and easy cards from simple supplies. And I want to share these ideas with you on this blog and on YouTube. So, I will be starting a series on these types of cards.

I am also excited to see my subscribers increasing. So when I reach 100 subscribers on my blog, and on YouTube I will be having.....Yes....a GIVEAWAY!!! So, share with your friends and fellow crafters.

Enough chatter - on with the cards.

This first card is a simple Hello card with a few elements that I fussy cut from a scrapbook paper. I used kraft cardstock for the base and rounded the corners. And the stamp 'hello' is from Heidi Swapp (a Heidi Swapp stamp set will be in a giveaway, see above).

Changing It Up

Hi Everyone! I wanted to share a new card that I have created but I did something different than my standard die cutting. For some time I have wanted to challenge myself with coloring stamped images. So I took a deep breath and jumped in....now I am hooked. For this card I used the cutest stamp "Fairy Girl" by Pure Innocence. To start this process I chose to use colored pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits (Mona Lisa brand). I have watched several videos on this technique and I must say I love how it turned out.
