Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #260 - Kids

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #260-Kids
Make a project for a Kid 

This Weeks Sponsor

Bugaboo Stamps

The prize is 7 digital stamps!

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

And, if you submit a project in our challenge that isn't a card, you will get two entries for a chance to win the prize instead of one!

This is what I created for this weeks challenge.

 

Here I added foam squares to add some dimension

A very special little boy I know is turning 3 at the end of this month. I found out from his mother that she was having a snowman/winter theme for her son's birthday party. I had just received my Frozen Cricut cartridge for my birthday last month so of course I had to make an Olaf card. I also wanted to try a different type of card, a card that I hadn't made before, a tri-fold shutter card. I can tell you this, I will only be making these types of cards for very special occasions...there are a lot of layers and places to fill. I do though love the fact that this type of card allows you to put it on display. I wanted to add more images but I didn't want to hide the pretty pattern paper too much. I love the way this card turned out. I know the little boy I made this for will love it too but I think his mom will love it more.

 

I used these items to create my Olaf Birthday card:

• Frozen Cricut cartridge - Olaf
• Create a Critter 2 Cricut cartridge - party hat and blowout
• Mickey Font Cricut cartridge - 3
• Bazzill cardstock: Diamond and Glitz
• Black, white, orange, blue and brown cardstocks 
• foam squares
• foam tape

I am entering my Olaf Birthday card in the following challenges:

•  Decorate to Celebrate - Challenge #108 - Anything Goes
• CardzTV - Card Challenge #1 - 3 Colors Only (orange, blue, and brown) * black and white are exceptions*
• DL ART - Thankful Thursday - September Linky Challenge - Anything Goes

I really do love the way this card turned out, I hope you do too. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my Olaf Birthday card. Please head on over to Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and enter your own project for a child.

 



Jaidyn's Disney Memories/Autograph Book

We are taking our very 1st vacation as a family this October to the "happiest place on Earth"...Disneyland!!!  Many years of personal hardship have not allowed us to take any vacations.  I had already planned on making a memory/autograph book this summer but when I saw that Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge was "All About Disney" I just had to get a jump start on it.  I've been working on this for a couple of days now and am so pleased about how things are coming along so far.

I used a (2 bag) Cap'n Crunch Berries box to make the front and back parts of the book.  I cut 4 pieces of the box at 6 1/2 X 10 1/2 inches.  I attached 2 pieces together to make them more sturdy.  Then I just covered them.  Then I added a ribbon to the front.  I used Disney Mickey Font and Disney Mickey and Friends for the front cover.  I used Martha Stewart glitter on the letters and Glossy Accents on the heart and Minnie.  I then began constructing the inside pages.  Each page measures 6 X 10 1/4 and  has a 4 1/2 X 6 1/2 piece of cardstock to place a picture and an autograph in it.  As I get more Disney Cricut cartridges, I will be using my Cricut to cut coordinating Disney characters for each page.  I used ribbon to close the book.  I purposely did not finish this project for the simple fact that I know I will have to make more pages for other characters after we have gone on the vacation.

Here are the inside pages so far:

I will be creating more as I said earlier, this is just the beginning!

Besides the Getting Cricky challenge, I am also entering this project in the following challenges:

• DL Art - Thankful Thursday Challenge - Anything Goes - open til 6/9

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Disney Memories/Autograph Book.

Love You - Minnie Valentine

Today I share with you a valentine I made for my 2 year old daughter Jaidyn.  Recently she was introduced to Mickey Mouse and Friends and she always says, "Minnie, Minnie, Minnie," when she sees Mickey or Minnie, so I just had to do Minnie for her.  Yes, I know another easel card, well I just can't help it I love this type of card.

I used these items to create this valentine:

• Design Studio
• Disney Mickey Font Cricut cartridge - for Minnie
• Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge - for the "Love You"
• Martha Stewart punch set
• DCWV Nana's Kids printed cardstock - the polka dot paper
• Cuttlebug - for Minnie's bow
• Swiss Dots embossing folder - for Minnie's bow
• white gel pen - for Minnie's bow
• conversation hearts ribbon - I cut the hearts out to use in the corners

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

• Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Cartoon Characters - make a project using a cartoon character...Disney, Looney Tunes, Hello Kitty, Scooby Doo.... any cartoon character will do!
• Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #46 - Any Occassion (MUST use Polka Dots)
• Shopping Our Stash Challenge #35 - use a border punch or create a border detail
•  More than Favors Wacky Wednesday #63 Let's Get Animated - create any project as long as it has any kind of animated character on it.

Here is an up close look at the individual parts of my card:

I can't believe it I actually got a valentine completed way in advance...WHOO HOO!  Now I must get some other projects going.  I have my oldest daughter's Valentine's to make for her class of 28, invitations to my oldest daughter's birthday and decorations to make for her party too!  I'm gonna be a busy little bee for the next month and a half...wish me luck!
