For newbies to my Cartridge Checklist, here's what it looks like:-

Enjoy! :-)

Rein-Beer

Made this for one of  hubby's presents:-

Saw something similar on Pinterest (LOVE that site!!!!) and just had to re-create it.  I put my "spin" on it, w/ coloured antlers.  :-)


Very simple to make:-
Antlers are pipe cleaners.  Couldn't find the brown ones but I think the coloured ones bring "whimsey" to them.  The eyes are googly eyes and the nose is a sparkly pom-pom.


Sentiment was computer-generated.


I think hubby's going to get quite a kick of out it.

Glue – ATG; Zig Two Way

This was a really simple card, which came together quickly, using the Imagine More Cards cartridge for the Happy Bird-day design.  Added ribbon, flower, and a butterfly-punched sentiment. 

I’m discovering the Close to My Heart stamps, which are really fun.  I used the Tender Tags stamp for the “designed by”, on the back of the card.

Birthday Card for Hubby

Made this card for my hubby.  It’s his birthday today.  Happy Birthday, Sweetie!  J

 Inside:-

He really liked the pirate card I made for a friend’s BD, so it only seemed apropos to make him a “Buccaneer” BD card, too.

Had a ball making this card, adding all the cute li’l designs found on the Imagine Buccaneer cartridge.  I LOVE that cartridge.  Such vibrant pix.  Everything is pop-dotted but it doesn't really show up in the pix.  I tried to get side shots of it, but they turned out blurry.  

Tools/Items:-
Cricut Imagine

Cricut Imagine Cartridge: – "Buccaneer"

Cricut Cartridge – "Simply Charmed"

Glue – ATG; Zig Two Way
Cardstock – red for the card base; white (for the Imagine)
Patterned paper

Corner rounder – Ticket Stub

Rhinstone - for the pirate chest
Pop dots

The entire card was created using the Imagine "Buccaneer" cartridge.  However, the sun w/ sunglasses was from the "Simply Charmed" cartridge.  Love the li’l octopus, wearing a pirate hat. J

I learned a li’l trick whilst  pop-dotting the sunglasses on the sun.  The white popdots were  too visible, so I colored them w/ a black BIC marker.


The sentiment was computer-generated.


Also made the 3-D pirate chest which is found on the Buccaneer cartridge.  It looks so realistic.   Filled it w/ gold doubloons.  Actually, they're chocolates.  LOL

Hope hubby likes it!  J
