Vinyl Project for a vehicle

Hello Crafty Friends,

Sherri here from Sherri's Crafty Place 

Today is my day to post here at She's A Sassy Lady,

Today I have a sticker I made from vinyl, I LOVE Vinyl.....

I must give you a little story on this prject.....

My son LOVES for me to make him vinyl stickers for his truck, bike, and well pretty much anything else he can attach them to...LOL he comes up with some pretty funny stuff.....and I create it....He LOVES to go Muddin' he has a 4x4 Toyota 4 Runner and loves to get muddy, well one day he hit a tree and put a pretty good dent in his back fender, he was upset for about a minute, then he came up with "chicks dig body damage" and said mom.....can you....and I said of coarse, so using my Cricut and MTC I found this great font ( it doesn't have a very nice name)......and was it time consuming to weed, it really looks like someone wrote it in marker on his truck....

here it is on my screen...along with some 4x4's for his friends atv.....

                 

here it is after a lot of weeding

 and here is the final project......
 I think it looks great!!!!! when we can see it...his truck is usually covered in mud!!!! and the Cricut Vinyl is so great!!!!! he power washes his truck 4 times a month.....at least, and some of these have been on there for months......( I have made all the stickers in the picture) 
doesn't the font look like someone wrote it in marker!!! I will put the name of the font in my comments.....I really don't like the name of it...

Thanks for stopping by today, and a big thanks to Sheila for having me......

Just A Super Quick Graduation Card

Good morning, I sure hope all is well with you!. Well last night my handsome hubby says, "Do you have any graduation cards?" No mind you this is 8:30 at night and I have to get up and get to work.... So then he says "could you make one real fast?" Well our little grandson Justin graduated from 5th grade and no one told me about it! Can you imagine? It was 6th grade when we were raising our children so I was really surprised. Anyway, you know I had to put something together real fast...
So I reached for Create A Critter 2 and made my first card using it, from scraps none the less!

By the time I got up to my craft room it was a little after nine and I went right to work.  In less than a half of an hour this little cutie card was complete!

 

And our little Justin loved the card... I remember telling hubby, just put a little cash in it and he will love it! But he loved the card as it looked like his dog so he was a happy camper!
Hope you enjoyed my little post today. Have a blessed day!

Thanks a Latte

Hey everyone! It's Candy here from Candy's Craft Corner!

It's my turn to share at She's a Sassy Lady! Thanks for having me again Sheila!

My card today is a super simple monochromatic card. 

I used the Stamps of Life stamps, bakers twine, kraft and chocolate cardstock and even made my own background paper. Super easy!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Take care,

Candy

Some more inky goodness!

Hi everyone.  Its Karon here from Karon's Krafty Korner sharing with you another new to me technique.

This is called Smacking Acetate or I would prefer to call it "Messing around with ink and water!" LOL!

You can make some fabulous background papers or papers that you want to cut and make flowers - the uses for this are endless, and you get a unique result every time.

Here is my finished card.

Firstly, you will need a piece of acetate, either some water based markers or some re-inkers.  I used CTMH  water-based dye ink markers.  Some white paper, I used the Recollections white paper, you want something that is a little porous - to take the ink and water. A mini mister or water spray.

I found this technique by Gina K on Stamp TV, she uses re-inkers and here is a link to the video for this method.

I do not have any re-inkers, as such, so I used the markers instead and was still really pleased with the results I got.

So, cut a piece of card stock a little bigger than you actually need.  This will enable you to trim to your desired size afterwards.

Take you acetate, and as many markers as you want to use.  I chose 3 colours, that I felt I could work with. Don't do too many, or I think you will end up with just a muddy mess.

Now comes the fun part.  Just scribble randomly over the acetate with your markers.  I have done two to show you.

Get you water mister and spray gentle over the inks until you see that the whole area is wet, but not soaking.

Place you piece of paper (smack) down on top of the inked acetate and press out gently.  Lift the paper away and wait to dry - or use your heat gun.  Your acetate sheet can be just wiped clean and used again.

Here are the two papers, and I even tried it with some doilies.

Now all you have to do is use them on your cards.

For my card I used a 6" by 4" base and then layered up my papers.  The designer paper is from a stack by Me & My Big Ideas called Forever Water Colour.  The ribbon flower was made by my daughter Shannon.

The sentiment is from a set call Hooray for Birthdays by Scrappy Mom's, stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black.

For the inside I used the same papers and stamped a little flower in two of the corners.

I hope you will give this technique a go - it is so easy and yet so effective and of course unique every time.

Have fun.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy crafting.

DISTRESS MARKERS NOTE CARDS

Hi, Everyone, this is Charlotte C, and thank you, Sheila, for once again allowing me to share a little project with your followers.

I decided to make some note cards for the moms of my daughters-in-law for Mother’s Day and I thought this might be a good time to try watercoloring with my Distress Markers.  I knew they’d be kind at my first attempt and I’m hoping you will be too. 

The stamps used are from Close To My Heart.  I stamped on watercolor paper with Ranger Archival Ink; then, using my craft sheet as a palette, I scribbled the colors on it and used a brush dipped in water to color the flower (thank you, Jennifer McGuire, for that tip) shaded around it in blue.  I used The Timeless Texture Stack of printed paper (it’s very lightweight) from DCWV for the green background layer and ¼” strips of chocolate brown textured CS on each side of the watercolored panel.  Doing this added no weight to the card, just texture.  For the folder I used double-sided card stock, fastened it closed with Velcro on dotted ribbon and added a quote from my stash of things I forgot I own. 

Thank you for stopping by here at She’s a Sassy Lady.   Hope you like this.  Have a happy crafty week.

Thank You Cards Designed On CCR Complete With File

 

Good Morning! It has been a while since I have been on and I have missed sharing with you. This week I am sharing a card that I made on the Cricut Craft Room... CCR. I actually had a little free time at work and designed this card at work. As I am still learning CCR I did find it harder to make than with my Gypsy. This is similar to a card I shared with you many time from my Gypsy and I found it harder to maneuver on CCR. But it worked and the card turned out great... I am sure it is a matter of just learning and playing with it more to hon in my skills.

 

This is what the first page looks like. As you can see I used a frame  and just hid the inside for the back of the card.

This is page 2. Remember you must have a duplicate frame for the top of the card if you are inserting plastic on the top of the card and this gives a nice finish to it. I have been using white as the base and then covering the top with colored paper and it helps keep the cost of paper to a minimum.

 

This is the third page and it is the inside of the card where you put the sentiments. I usually use some of my scrap paper for this as I have a ton of scrap paper in all different sizes.

 

 

Now wasn't that easy.... I know I got a little chatty but it has been so long since I have shared with you!  This card was really easy to put together

 

This is a close up of the front of the card... I embossed the plastic with the Divine Swirls folder and it just added so much shine to the card.... and you have to love that glitter!

 

Another close up of the card... I love it. And, you can see the writing on the inside but because of the embossing you can't read what it says.... just kind of makes you want to open it just to see that it says!

 

And of course the card isn't finished until I stamp the back! Love my little Sassy Lady Stamp!
