My first Cut and Print with my Cameo

Hi everyone!  I just wanted to share my 1st finished Cameo Card using the print and cut feature!

After struggling trying to learn how to work with SVG

files for over 6 weeks I finally got instructions that I could follow!!

We all learn in our own ways and for me it had to be in Black and White. I love tutorials but with something like this it didn't click until I was able to get typed out instructions that I found on a great Facebook group. The Happy Birthday cut is available in the Silhouette Store. The Beauty and the Beast is a internet find.

I am still learning how to use the Cameo so I can't give you exact sizes of the cuts. My next post will have complete instructions!!

For a first card using the print and cut feature i am really pleased with how it turned out!! I will post the instructions I received later this week for those of you that learn better by seeing it in writing in front of you!

Thank-you for stopping By and have a great crafty week!!!

Anything Goes Blog Hop

   

Welcome to the Anything Goes Blog Hop!
I have to say that the ladies in this line up have amazing projects to show you!
I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did. I also have a nice blog candy package for 1 lucky person. In order to win the blog candy you will need to be a follower and leave a comment on each blog in this hop. I ship to the US only. I know that some of the ladies are also offering blog candy along the way. I will post a pic of the blog candy at the end of my post. As well as the full line up.
I have a card to share with you today. It is the 1st item I have made with my Cameo.

I have to say that the Cameo does beautiful smooth cuts.
 You can find the cuts I used in the Silhouette
store.
The card base and the orange cardstock are all from Papertrey Ink.
The teal is Bobunny double dot. The black  has a slight shimmer to it but I am not sure who makes that paper. The twine is Trendy Twine in Twisted Lime.
I used a cuttlebug folder on the light orange cardstock. Unfortunately that folder does not have a name on it.
 Now here is a picture of the blog candy. Remember to comment and be a follower on each blog along the way to win the blog candy. I will use random.org to pick a winner and again I only ship in the US due to the cost of shipping.

Countdown to Christmas, Snowman Theme

Welcome to theme day thursday with My Cricut Craft Room!

The theme of the day is Snowman :))
Here are my Cricut Craft Rooms screen shots!

This is the completed card:)

On this Card I used a craftroom exclusive card and it was Card 1 and I cut it at 7.50 inches.
I then used Santa's Village to cut the Snowman.
I took a white cardstock and ran it through my Creative Station and attached it to the inside of the blue card sticky side up. I then sprinkled glitter and patted it down and gently shook the excess off! It is hard to see but it worked great on the snowflakes. I then attached the snowman and he was cut at 4 inches. I used Liquid pearls to add a little dimention to him. The Merry Christmas is a sticker. Craft Room has some amazing individual cuts for the Imagine and Expression and they are really affordable!
Be sure to go back to My Cricut Craft Room to see what my design team sisters have for you.
This will be my last December post for MCCR so
Happy Ho;lidays!!!!

My IMAGINE-ation Monday Santa theme

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Rooms Santa themed Imagination Monday!!!

I have 2 Santa cards for you today but first you will see the screen shot in Cricut Craftroom.

I design all of my projects in Craft Room and would be lost without it. When it is down for any reason I come unglued:) No pun intended. Put it down to lack of sleep! Tis the season and I work in retail so I am always tired!!
On both of the Santa cards I started by embossing the card with a cuutlebug snowflake embossing folder.
The cuts are from Imagine cartridge Santa's village and the cuts were done at 4 inches. The Happy Holidays and Wishing you joy are stickers and not cricut cuts. The Naughty or Nice is a cricut cut. I did outline some areas with Liquid pearls. I love this Cartridge for Christmas projects!!!
Be sure to go back to My Cricut Craft Room to see all the great projects my Design Team Sisters have for you!!!
