Peaches and Cream!

Tina Gale here from tiggersscrapplace.blogspot.com with another Disney layout. If you hop over to my blog you'll find lots of Disney layouts. Our challenge was travel and where better to travel than Disney! LOL

This is a great little ice cream and burger joint on the Boardwalk. The ice cream is fabulous. My kids had root beer floats and then helped their Daddy finish his hot fudge sundae! 

The ice cream sundae was cut with From My Kitchen cart. I used the swirl and dot embossing folders to give it some added dimension. I think it looks yummy enough to eat don't you.

I used the Mickey Font cart for the title and then embossed it with the swiss dot embossing folder.

Supplies:

DCWV paper

From My Kitchen cart

Mickey Font cart

Swiss dot embossing folder

Divine Swirl embossing folder

Disney Blog Hop!

If you arrived here from Kim then, you are in the right spot!  I am honored to be a part of this blog hop that Shawn and Melissa so graciously are hosting.  If you arrived at my blog first, please after enjoying my project, go to Shawn's site.  I know you will not want to miss any of the amazing projects that all the creative and tallented bloggers have created over the two days.

For this hop, I created a 12x12 scrapbook page layout titled "Here Comes..".  I am working primarily with the colors of yellow, black, white and red.  I did however throw in some blue this time around. 








I used cricut cartridge sweethearts for the font and my trusty hide contour that is on the Gypsy. I really like this feature. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a shadow feature. I cut out one in black and yellow. To mimic a shadow feature, I off set the two and viola! The clear rhinestones gave some additional bling to the title.







I took the straight candy striped ribbon from my stash and made a bow.









I cut three shadow Mickey head icons an inch smaller than the next. This cut is from the cricut cartridge Mickey font.










On the bottom left hand side is a candy stripe journaling tag.









Above is the full 12x12 layout. Doesn't he look dapper sporting his hat? He's just waiting for three photos for the black mat.

Can you guess which Cricut Cartridge was used to make Mickey's hat?  I bet you know how to search for that now.  If not, the secret is on Shawn's site.  I can tell you that from my personal experience that while the Gypsy has a search feature, mycutsearch pulls up more choices. 

Papers:
Ek success Mickey paper pad
Creative imaginations black streamer and Red star sheets
Pinecone press papers happy memories
Stampin up Crushed Curry cardstock
White cardstock

Disney Autograph Pillow Cases

Hi ~ Lori here from ScrappinMyStressAway with a Disney project to share.  I was in the Disney Hop with Sweet Sassy Diva last weekend and you can see my layouy HERE if you like.

We are getting ready for our first ever Disney Cruise!  We have been lucky enough to go to Walt Disney World several times with our boys, but I was shocked when my husband suggested a cruise.  He does not really like the water so I figured a cruise would be a girls vacation or no vacation for me!

Mike is a researcher and he read on the Disney Message Boards that you can bring a pillow case on your cruise and the characters will sign it while you enjoy the cruise.  I decided to make two of them and here is how I did them:

I opened a 12 x 24 mat on my Gypsy and used Disney Mickey Font for my letters to spell out APGAR FAMILY DISNEY CRUISE 2011.  My original plan was to letter the top of the pillow case on both sides so I sized my letters so the words would fit a 20" length (the width of the pillow case).

Then, I flipped the letters so they would cut out in reverse.

I took Freezer paper and cut a piece to fit my mat.  I cut it shiny side up.

I pulled the freezer paper "stencil" off of my mat.

At this point, I changed my mind and put all of the words on one side of the pillow case.  I put APGAR FAMILY at the top and the rest at the bottom and ironed the stencil on the pillow case.  I added in the center pieces for the D, R and A's and ironed them in.

I used fabric paint and a sponge brush to paint my letters.  ***Don't forget to put something in between the pillow cases so the paint doesn't leak to the back side.  I did not have any cardboard long enough, so I used the back of my cricut mat.

After the paint dried, I carefully peeled the stencil off the pillowcase.

Here is the pillow case all painted up!  I decorated the next one with blue paint.

Don't forget to peel out the center of the letters!

Here is the blue lettered pillow case.

I added Nemo ribbon (found at Wal-Mart) to the edge of the pillow case.  I don't sew very well so I am having my MIL sew the ribbon on ~ I just tacked it down for the photo.

I used this ribbon (also found at Wal-Mart) for the black lettered pillow case.

I can't wait to see it filled up with autographs!!  Thanks for having me here again Bobbi Jo!!

OH BOY!

Hello everyone and welcome to the Sweet Sassy Diva Blogspot.  This week the

design team was asked to do a project with Disney/Pixar.  There are so many
carts to choose from.  For this project I decided to do a twisted easel
card and use Mickey and Friends and Mickey Font to decorate it.

Believe me once you try making a twisted easel card you will be hooked.

The papers are from a Disney stack I got at Joanns.  

So here are the directions:

1.  Cut 2 pieces of cardstock- one 6x6 and 1 6x 12.  

2.  Fold the 6 x 12 in 1/2  

3.   Fold the left side of large piece across to form a triangle.  (I

goofed and folded the wrong way but that is fixable as it will be covered with
the other piece).  I use my ATG gun to adhere the  6 x 6 piece to the
triangle.  Mke sure to line up at bottom so card will close.  Test now
before you can't remove it.  I guess I forgot pic of this step but see
picture 8.  

4.  Here is my mat with cuts from Mickey and Friends page 108 cut at 5

inches.  I did not cut the shadow.

5.  Here is my mat with Oh Boy cut with shadow at 1 inch from Mickey Font.

 This was an already designed phrase so I did not have to make words.

6.  I glued my pieces together and added Glossy Accents to eyes and nose.

 To the words I did dots and dashed with a Sharpie.

7.  Next I stamped my birthday sentiment and placed it on a 3 1/2 inch

cardstock piece.

Then you use pop dots so this piece will hold the easel portion up.  

8.  Place the sentiment piece on the bottom of card back so it holds easel

in place.

Add other cuts - Doesn't Mickey look so happy.  

This is card closed 

I added two Mickey buttons I had in my stash.  

 

Sorry this pic is so blurry.  

So now you know how to make a twisted easel card.  This is the link to

where I got my directions and you will also find directions for double and
triple twisted easel cards here.

I can't wait to see what the rest of the Design Team has made this week.

 How about you?  Make sure to come back each day to check it out and

Disney Pixar Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Disney Pixar Blog Hop!  I am honored to be a part of the hop that is co-hosted with Shawn and Melissa.  If you arrived here first, be sure to stop by Shawn http://craftychicsblog.blogspot.com/ to see the whole hop.  I hope that you find inspiration along the way. 

If you arrived here from Kim http://uscrap2.blogspot.com/ then, you are in the right spot. 

I decided to work on a two page layout to add some disney pictures later.  Below is a picture of it before I glued it all down.  I love to use my scrap'n easel to work on my cards and layouts before I glue it all down.  It makes the process easier.  In fact, she is having a sale on them now and you can see more on her site just Click here!







It all began with a mouse but, I find that I like to begin my layout on the gypsy.







I used Mickey and Friends, Mickey Font, Accent Essentials and Cursive 101.

I used the cutterpede to cut a red and yellow border.






I positioned mickey between the two pages cutting him just to the left of his eyes.







Here is the left page:







And the right page:







I cut some additional Mickey gloves to hold the photo mat.






I used the gypsy and welded the shadow layer and font for the title.






The irock added some bling to the title.








For the "Mouse" title, I used Mickey Font.









I used a few different papers on this layout including EK success Disney Mickey paper pad, Sandylion Mickey Characters and Creative Imaginations magic.  Oh and of course a number of solid cardstock in coordinating colors.
What is your favorite disney title for a layout?  I have a few on my list but, I would love to hear your ideas. 

Please continue on your magical journey to Jenny http://jennyplace26.blogspot.com/ next.  If you get lost, along the way, you can find a complete list on Shawn's site.

Vinyl on your Cricut!

This is Misty from the Daily Scrapper.

My picnic project is to alter my igloo. We have lots 2 of these things at various events because they were not labeled well enough. I decided this would be a great way to make our look different than the others. Plus, it just looks cool!!!!

I used my gypsy to design the decorations.

I used Mickey Font for the letters and doodlecharms for the decorations. I decided I did not have enough room for the watermelon so it was later deleted.

I used vinyl from a local sign shop that is weather resistant. It cuts beautifully at blade depth 5, pressure, high, and speed medium.

Cutting time.

All done cutting

My creation. I am really happy with the way this came out. It will be very unique.
