Time for More Cards

Hey everyone - its that time again, new cards for the July Cricut Classes at Craft Fancy. I decided to use some different colors this time and picked a nice orange/coral paper. 


The first card is from the Walk in My Garden cartridge.

The next card is from the Simply Sweet Cartridge.

Next is a sweet summer treat from the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge.

A flower and lady bug from Plantin Schoolbook and Walk In My Garden.

And last a flowery fence/gate from the new Bloom Cartridge.

Thanks for looking, leave a comment if you like.

Changed Card

I wasn't really happy with the 4th of July card that I designed for this month's classes, so I created another one today. This one uses the Accent Essentials and Plantin Schoolbook cartridges. I like this one much better, hope you do too.

It's June Already!!

That means its time to show off the cards for the June Cricut Classes.

Up first is a cute butterfly using the Create a Critter and Just Because Cards cartridges.

Next is a Thank You card using the Simply Sweet cartridge.

The wedding card is from the Wild Card cartridge.

A 4th of July card using the Stand and Salute cartridge.

And the final card is from the Just Because Cards cartridge.

May Cards

Wow where did April go? It is time for the May Cricut classes already. This month there are four classes to choose from: Wednesday, May 5 at 5:30 pm; Friday, May 7 at 10:30 am; Tuesday, May 18 at 5:30 and Friday, May 21 at 10:30 am. So here are the things that we will be making.

First up a cute little box using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. The box is big enough for a small gift for a friend.

Next up is a Thank you card using George and Basic Shapes and Plantin Schoolbook cartridges. 

For the graduate we have a cute card using the Wild Card cartridge.

Next up is a card for that special guy - could be a Father's Day card or a Birthday card. I used the Wild Card Accent Essentials cartridge for this one (Wild Card has a Fleur di Lis on it too).

And last, but not least, is my favorite card. This cute little monkey comes from the new Create a Critter cartridge. All of the animals on this cartridge are so cute, you will be seeing more cards with them in the future.

Hope to see you in one of the classes.

For those that are wondering, there is some knitting and traveling going on too. More on those in another post.

April Cards

Here are the cards for the April Cricut classes.

This first card is a clear one. I used a piece of a transparency for the card. I love the way it turned out. The cartridges used for this one are Accent Essentials and Plantin Schoolbook.

This cute little bird was done with Wild Card, Accent Essentials and Plantin Schoolbook.

Next we have some nice, spring tulips. The cartridges are Accent Essentials and Walk in My Garden.

A trio of iris are next. These are from Walk in My Garden also.

Someone asked for a card for a little girl so here is a cute princess and her frog. The cartridge for this one is Paper Doll Dress Up.

I figured we needed to have a boy card too, so here is a pirate with his flag. Arrgh! This one is also from Paper Doll Dress Up.

Some good news, the classes have become so popular that we will be adding two additional classes in May. There will be two Wednesday night classes and two Friday morning classes. I will also be offering a basics class for those who are new to the Cricut.

A Sneak Peek!

Here is a first look at one of the cards for the April Cricut Classes.

I'm not sure if you can tell, but the card is clear. I used a transparency and glued a white piece of paper on the inside of the card for the message. The colors look a little washed out, the card looks much better in person. Check back later in the week for the rest of the cards for the class.

Here is a picture of the finished blanket for baby Xayne.

Some Things Are Finished, Some Things Aren't

First up, the last card for my March Cricut class. Something simple and easy to finish up with.

On to the knitting front...A finished a pair of socks for me. The pattern is Bremen Muster and can be found here on Ravelry. The yarn is Claudia Handpainted in the Watermelon colorway. I love them and the pattern is really fun to knit.

My favorite new top is the Josephine (Ravelry link) which I finished just before our February Cruise. It is knit in Berroco Comfort DK which is wonderful to knit with. I'm going to have to take a better picture that shows the detail more.

This cute little sweater is for baby Zayne who was born last Friday. It is the Five Hour Baby Sweater (Ravelry link), knit in Red Heart soft in a pretty red color.

And now for the unfinished. A baby blanket for Zayne. It is the Paneled Lace Afghan from the July 2009 Creative Knitting Magazine. It is also knit in Red Heart Soft in teal and brown. Hopefully I can get it finished by the end of the week.
