June Cricut Workshop

Welcome to the June Cricut Workshop at Craft Fancy. This month I thought we would do some simple cards. Just some basic images on white cards. I love the way they turned out and I hope you do to.

I saw a stamped version of this card on the Bella Blvd. Studio blog and thought that it would be easy to make a similar card with my Cricut. I used the baby onsie from the Cricut Sampler cartridge and then used my explore to write the sentiment and the little hearts.

This card is from the Close to My Heart Artiste cartridge. A pretty tag and butterfly open up to reveal a gift card hidden inside. And yes, those are more melted perler beads decorating the card.

This pretty flower is from the Four Seasons Home Decor cartridge. I thought it would be nice as a sympathy card.

This pretty flower trio is from the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge and will brighten someone's day.

Our last card is from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. A bunch of stars to congratulate someone on a job well done, or wish them a happy birthday.

Classes are: Monday, June 15 - 10:30 am - 12:30 pm and 5:30 - 7:30 pm

Happy St. Patrick' Day

Hi All - 

I know it has been awhile since I've posted here. I wanted to let you know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! We spent most of February in Florida and had a great time. I did come home with a monster of a cold, but I am finally feeling better and am ready to play with paper (and string).

I made this St. Patrick's Day wreath and thought I would share it with you. I love my Cricut Explore! It makes projects like this so easy. All of the images are in Design Space. The base of the wreath is a wooden embroidery hoop.  

For those of you who are signed up for my classes this month, I'm working on class samples today and hope to have them posted by the end of the week.

Thanks for stopping by!

January Cricut Class

Hi,

Welcome to the January Cricut Workshop at Craft Fancy! This month we will be making Valentine cards.

Our first card is a bowl of bleeding heart flowers. These flowers are from the Walk in My Garden cartridge. The bowl is from Pretty Pennants and Art Philosophy.

Our next card is from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I love the hearts and bow that look like a bouquet of flowers.

The Love card is from the Create a Critter cartridge. I know there aren't any critters on the card, but the hearts are part of that cartridge.

This cute koala bear is from Create a Critter 2. It kind of reminds me of the Valentine's we gave out as kids in elementary school.

Our last card is from the Cindy Lou cartridge. I thought this heart flower was perfect for a Valentine.

Class date is: Friday, January 23 at 10:30 am. Call Craft Fancy for more information.

Please Note: There won't be any classes in February, I'll be taking the month off. See you again in March!

June Cricut Class

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I am so glad to finally have some warm weather.

Here are the cards for the June Cricut Workshop at Craft Fancy. This month we are making Thank You cards. I really like the vintage look of the Pink Paislee Hope Chest paper line.


This elegant looking card is from the Lacy Labels cartridge. The letters are from the Artbooking cartridge.

Next up is a pretty trio of flowers from the Accent Essentials cartridge. I love the look of stacked, distressed flowers.

Sometimes you need a really simple card, and this is it. The flower is from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and the letters are from the Artiste Cartridge.

On the other hand, a little whimsy is fun too. The cute little sheep is from the Create a Critter Cartridge.  He looks like he has been having a good time playing in the dirt! The letters are from the Jubilee cartridge.

Our final card is a perfect Thank You for a new Mom. This cute little onsie is from the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 cartridge. The Thank You is from the Simply Sweet cartridge.

Class dates are: 
Friday, June 13 - 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Monday, June 23 - 10:30 am - 12:30 pm; 5:30 - 7:0 pm

Hope to see you in a class!

February Cricut Class

Wow it is time for February Cricut classes! Where did January go?

This month we have a couple of cards for the guys, a couple for the ladies and a St. Patrick's Day card.

Our first card is a flowery Thinking of You card from the Walk in My Garden cartridge. After I took the card to the store, I found some red twine that I tied around one side of the bread tag. I'll post an updated photo on Monday.

The first card for the guys is from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  

The St. Patrick's Day card is from the Accent Essentials and Paper Doll Dress up cartridges.
I like the gold circles (coins) and shamrocks, straight from the pot of gold!

I think the next two cards are some of my favorites. I wanted to see if I could make the same card in a male version and a female version. The tag border is from the Mickey and Friends cartridge. The flowers, leaves and stars are from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. 

Class dates are:

Monday, February 3: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm and 5:30 - 7:30 pm

Friday, February 14: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm

January Cricut Class

Happy New Year! 

This month in class, we are making Valentines. 

Our first card is a trio of Valentine cards sealed with a heart from the Doodlecharms cartridge. The glittery outline on the hearts is a silver Wink of Stella pen. I love the little bit of glitter that the pens add.

Our next card is a Frog Prince just waiting to be kissed! He is from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge. His crown is outlined in the gold Wink of Stella pen.

This card is from the Creative Cards cartridge, and the little banner is from the Create a Critter 2 cartridge.

The Love Stamp is from the Elegant Edges and the Artiste cartridges. A little bit of black pen around the edge of the letters makes them stand out.

Our last card is a sweet heart from the Artbooking Cartridge. The heart is outlined with the silver Wink of Stella pen. The flowers are from the Flower Shoppe cartridge.

Class Dates are:

Friday, January 17: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm

Monday, January 20: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm and 5:30 - 7:30 pm

Hope to see you in class!

October Cricut Class

Happy Fall! Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather and the beautiful fall colors.

We are making Thankful/Thanksgiving cards in classes this month. I love using fall colors in cards.

All the cards are made with kraft cardstock. It was a cloudy day when I took the pictures, so they didn't turn out as well as I would have liked.

Our first card is from the Artbooking and Cricut Sampler cartridges. Such pretty leaves. We will save the cut out word "thanks" for another card.

The next card is from the Accent Essentials cartridge.  The sentiment was done in the Cricut Craft Room (I'll provide that cut.) I'm kind of obsessed with hexagons lately.

The cute little owl is from the Straight from the Nest cartridge.   

A little turkey from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge.

The last card is a mix of cartridges. The leaves are from the Artbooking Cartridge. The "thanks" is the cut out from the first card and the acorn is from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge.

Class dates are:
Tuesday, October 15 - 10:30 am - 12:30 pm and 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Friday, October 18 - 10:30 am - 12:30 pm

Hope to see you in class!

May Cricut Classes

Welcome to the May Cricut Classes at Craft Fancy. This month we are using my scraps from past classes to make some beautiful cards. Inspiration for these cards came from several different places.

I was inspired by this card. I liked that it was a one layer card, but was still a die cut. I added some small pearls, because a little bling is a good thing! This card uses the Walk in My Garden cartridge.

Next up is a card I found on Pintrest (it is pinned on my Card Creations board).  The original uses washi tape, but this one is strips of paper. If you haven't found Pintrest yet, check it out. Lots of fun things can be found there. Anyway, this card uses the Plantin Schoolbook and Paisley cartridges. 

This card came from an ad I found in the latest Reader's Digest magazine. The hearts are cut from the Accent Essentials cartridge. Card inspiration can come from anywhere!

The next card is a pretty flower and some cardstock banners. I'm not sure where the inspiration came for this one, I know I saw something similar somewhere. Anyway the cartridges for this one are Plantin Schoolbook and Accent Essentials.

There will be one more card. I did all these last Friday and ran out of time and ideas for the last one!

Hope to see you in one of the classes!

March Cricut Class Cards

It's that time again, time for the next Cricut Classes. So here are some pretty Spring cards. I went kind of crazy with the embossing folders this month. (I just got a new Vagabond and had a great time playing around with it.)

The first one uses the Walk in My Garden cartridge. I saw a similar card on a website and simplified it a bit. I like how the paper peeks through the flower cut out.

The second card also uses the Walk in My Garden cartridge for the flower and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the tags. 

Last month we had a cat card, so this month we have a cute little dog using the Create a Critter cartridge. (This was also a special request from Janet.)

Next up is a Thank You card using the Preserves cartridge. Thanks Dottie for showing me how to double emboss! I'm hooked.

 Our final card is also a special request from Janet. She wanted a card and envelope from one of the card cartridges. This one is from the Wild Card cartridge.  I think I'll do some more of these in the future.

So, whose special request will be next? 

See you in class!

The Second Six

Hi All - Here are the rest of the 12 Days of Christmas Banners. Hope to see you in a class!

The First Six

First up, I must apologize for the pictures, they didn't turn out very well. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow.

Anyway, here is the first half of the project for the November Cricut Classes at Craft Fancy. This month we are making a 12 Days of Christmas Banner.

The flags and tops are from Straight from the Nest and the 12 Days of Christmas are from the Joys of the Season Cartridge. It is kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but the flags are embossed and distressed. I think this is going to be a great project. 

I know it looks like lots of cutting, but all you will have to cut out are the items on the ovals. I'll cut out all the flags, ovals and words/numbers. 

Class dates are Friday, November 4; Friday, November 18 and Tuesday, November 22. Hope to see you in class.
