Exploring Cricut and More Happy Birthday Challenge

This week at Exploring Cricut & More the challenge is to make a birthday card, but to have shimmer or sparkle on it. Here is my project-



This was made using the Nifty Fifties cartridge. All of the paper was out of my scrap stash. I cut the rocket and sentiment at 4". The sentiment was computer generated using a Retro font I found on the internet. The background paper was a deal I found at a local craft store for a dime per piece! It's called Robot #6 by Best Creations and has all kinds of sparkle in it.

I'm going to give one lucky commenter a chance at the blog candy that didn't get claimed last time-


And if I reach 110 followers, I will add this-

Wonderful Wednesday

Howdy! Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday from Exploring Cricut and More! I'm always trying to make masculine birthday cards for friends of ours, and I bought a new embossing folder to help with that!



The embossing folder is from Spellbinders, and is called Industrial. It's the M-Bossiblilties two sided folder, and embosses two different diamond plate designs. The background paper is Wausau Graphite shimmer paper, and it embosses beautifully. The motocross image is from Dude, cut at 4 1/2", and the sentiment is from Artiste cut at 3/4". Both the biker and the lettering were cut from my scrap collection.

Thanks for looking!

Exploring Cricut Back to School Challenge

Welcome to my project today for Exploring Cricut & More Back to School Challenge!



I use my Cricut Expression and SCAL2 to cut this SVG file from Treasure Box Designs. All of the cuts were used from my scrap paper supply (which I LOVE to use up!). The background paper is some old DJ Inkers paper I've had floating around forever.

I hope you enjoyed my card, and I can't wait to see what you enter in our challenge!

Wonderful Wednesday

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday at Exploring Cricut & More! My project today is my August Calendar, shown here-




My husband and I went to Reno, Nevada this year with our 1966 Chevelle 4 door hardtop. When I'm done with this months calendar the pictures of me autocrossing my car will be on this page. I had a blast ripping through the course at speed!

This was made with the following ingredients:
  1. Cars Cricut cartridge-both the car and the emblem were cut out of scraps at 5", and you need them at least that big to have big enough pieces to attach to the bases!
  2. Designer Calendar-All of the title was cut from scraps.
  3. I used the Cuttlebug Diamond plate embossing folder on the photo mats.
Thanks for looking!
