Baby Shower banner and table decorations

I was asked to do some decorations for a baby shower and this is what I have come up with.  The banner was made using the SCAL program and my digital cutter. I welded the letters on top of the bottle so they would cut out of the bottle and placed green cardstock behind the letters. The top of the bottle was embossed with the Cuttlebug and the swiss dots folder.

The baby carriages were made using some designer series paper and cut out with SCAL.  The images on the flowers are from The Angel Company stamps and colored with markers, they were then cut out with Nestabilities scallop circles and embossed, the outer scallop is a Stampin Up scallop punch that was embossed with the Cuttlebug swiss dots folder. The images are mounted on wooden skewers that were cut in various sizes. I placed batting in the carriage to help hold them in place and topped the batting with felt.

Books are Fun SCAL project

These were cut using the SCAL program and the cricut. Each book cover was embossed with a sizzix texture plate.  The books are 7" are were made for a bulletin board at school to welcome back the Jr./Sr. high classes.  I had also made a book for the staff later.  The cricut has been an awesome tool cause I can cut anything out for any occassion.  Thanks for looking.

License Plate family sign

This sign was made for a dear friend of mine.  All pieces were stamped with the License plate stamp I found on clearance from Micheals and cut out. I glimmered all the pieces with my homemade glimmer mist.  In the first picture the fishing pole was cut using the cricut and I embossed the pole handle with a cuttlebug folder.  The fish and fishing lure background are from a Stampin Up set. In the second picture the flower was done using Accent Essentials cricut cartridge and the Tim Holtz flower technique, a placed a clay rose center in the middle of the flower. The music stamp is a background stamp from Stampendous (love this stamp).  In the third picture the panda is an Inkadinkadoo stamp and the tummy was flocked, the bamboo background is from Stampin Up. I attached the pieces to chipboard and covered the back with DSP.  I strung all pieces together with swivel barrels from the fishing dept. at my local store. The letters are from a Heidi Swapp stamp set.  I am very pleased at the way this sign has turned out. Thanks for looking.

Retirement pockets

So I was asked by my co-workers to create some pockets to put inside a book for each person retiring this year. I made each pocket unique to the person. The pockets are 4x5" and will be filled with a gift card, they wanted to keep the packaging on the gift card for the recipient that's why the pockets are a bigger size than the normal credit card size. My favorite is the Elvis pocket. I took apart a floppy disk and used the inside as the record and cut out a silhouette on my cricut using scal. The music paper was from the Elvis song "Love me Tender" which I had printed on my computer and distressed.

Elephant birthday card

This card was made for a friend who is turning 50. She loves elephants and also has a great sense of humor so this image was perfect for her. I cleaned up the image in inkscape and then cut out the image using SCAL and my cricut. The beer drops are done using skittles. She loved this card.

baby shower bootie - SCAL

For this project I had received a template from a fellow crafter Pinkcrafter99 for this baby bootie. I did not want to go through the hassle of cutting out by hand so I loaded the template into inkscape and created an svg for scal to cut on the cricut. I then cut out the bootie with scal. Because this is for a friends shower I wanted to incorporate the stamp used on the invitation with the bootie, so I stamped the image on shrink plastic and colored with permanent markers then I punched out with a 1 1/2" scallop punch, this made the button for the bootie.
Thanks for looking.
