Wow Wedding Weekend Blog Hop

By

Welcome to this weekends blog hop, hosted by My Cricut Craft Room.  It will be two days, both Saturday and Sunday so make sure you stop by tomorrow too!

For my project, I wanted to show you a framed layout for my cousin and her new hubby.  These are great to give as gifts by just putting into a 12x12 frame (bought at Walmarts).
  • I created this layout using her wedding colors, purple, teal, black, silver and zebra print.
                            
  • Cricut cartridge used is Plantin Schoolbook for flowers cut at 1.5" in purple and teal (I ended up making over 200 of these flowers for invited, and reception cards...NEVER AGAIN!)

  • Also used, is Sweethearts for wedding ring set, cut at 2" in white glitter cardstock

To give this gift in time, I made the layout ahead of time, leaving room for my picture.  I also got my gift wrap all ready to wrap the gift ahead of time. After the wedding ceremony, I took my memory card to Walgreens.  While the couple were taking their pictures in between the ceremony and reception, I got my photos developed.  I knew I wanted them black and white, and took a ton of them so I had a variety to choose from.  So the big thing is to make sure you plan your layout ahead of time.  I picked up the pictures, adhered to the layout, placed in the frame, wrapped and danced the night away.


 PS, the bride cried, so SUCCESS!!!!


Hope this gift idea inspires you. Your next stop is Julie.

    You always know it was a success if you make them cry (with happiness, that is!) I will definitely look into doing this same idea as my son is getting married later this year. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful project! ~ Marilyn

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
