Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone is enjoying their 4th of July celebrations. We just finished watching the Arlington Heights parade, which goes right by our apartment, and are going to see the Spiderman movie this afternoon. 

I realized that I haven't posted the cards for this months Cricut Classes at Craft Fancy, so here they are.

A nice cold glass of lemonade would be a great thing to have on a hot day like today. This one is from the Savory Cartridge, with the scalloped rectangle from the Accent Essentials Cartridge.

The next card is from the Picturesque Cartridge. I love the paper from the Simple Stories Summer Fresh line. So pretty.

 Craft Fancy is celebrating Christmas in July, so I added a Christmas card to the mix. This one is from the Freshly Picked Cartridge and is a little whimsical. I've been wanting to use this gnome for a while, so I thought this was the perfect time!

Finally, someone asked for a wedding card, so here is one from the Wrap It Up and Elegant Edges cartridges. 

There will be one more card using the Country Life cartridge, but it isn't quite finished yet.

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

April Cricut Class

Here are the cards for the April Cricut Classes at Craft Fancy. 

The first card is from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

Card number two is from Everyday Pop Up Cards, Walk in My Garden and Serenade.

Card number three is for Lu who likes folded cards. This one uses Elegant Edges, Home Decor and Accent Essentials.

Next up is a cute little poodle from Create a Critter.

The final card is from Accent Essentials.

A note about classes this month. Due to our vacation, the classes are at the beginning of the month. The dates are: Wednesday, April 4 10:30 am-12:30 pm and 5:30-7:30 pm and Friday, April 6 at 10:30 am.

I would be happy to make a class kit for anyone who is unable to attend either of these classes. Just send me an email, or call the store and let them know.

We will be back to the normal Tuesday and Friday class schedule in May.

Decorated Message Board

Hey everyone, I've got a new class coming up in a couple of weeks.



We will be making this Message Board. The flowers are super easy and fun to make (and you'll get your fingers all inky too).

The class is Thursday, March 29. Times are: 10:30 am-12:30 pm or 5:30-7:30 pm at Craft Fancy.

Hope to see you in class!

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!
