Love to Craft Challenge Blog- Anything Goes

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

We are in the heat of summer and what is better when you are on Summer Vacation but to craft and be creative.  I have recently been working on some Christmas ornaments and wanted to share my favorite so far.

I created this ornament using the ornaments from Dollar Tree. I then used Poly acrylic and white glitter to color the ornament white.  I then used permanent vinyl in black and red and cute the image out with my Cricut.

To finish the project, I added the red polka dot bow from ribbon in my stash.

I love the craft and hope you do too.  Let's see your projects. Join the challenge at Love to Craft Challenge Blog where anything goes. 

Also, please leave me a comment.  Thank you for stopping by.

Bitten By the Bug 2: Under the Sea

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

It is time for a new Cricut challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2 and the theme is Under the Sea!  This was challenge to lead and I have known for months what I wanted to create.  Here is what I created:

It is water bottle that says: Can't be a mermaid without water.  I purchased the file on Etsy and cut it out with my Cricut using permanent vinyl in purple, turquoise, white and blue.   

On the back and put the times and refill.

The times came out kind of crooked, but I love it.  First time trying to do something like this on a surface that was not flat.  

Now it is your turn.  Create a project with an "Under the Sea" theme and join us at Bitten By the Bug 2.

Bitten by the Bug 2 - May the Force be with you

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today we have a fun challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.  Are there any Star Wars fans?  The theme this week is May the Force be with you.  If you are not familiar with the phrase, it is a Star Wars play on words for the Fourth of May.  Instead of fourth, it is force.

I have only seen a few Star Wars and have never really gotten into the series of movies and things, but I know it is very popular.  I put an adult coffee spin on my project this week.

Anyone for some DeathStarbucks?

I found this SVG while looking through google.  I thought it would be the best image for an adult coffee mug.  I found the SVG at Editable SVG.  I cut the image with permanent vinyl.

Now it is your turn.  Create a Star Wars inspired project using your Cricut and share it with us at Bitten By the Bug 2.

Bitten by the Bug 2- Fairy Tale Challenge

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

We have a new challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2 with a Fairy Tale theme.  Think about all the stories you enjoyed as a child like Cinderella or Peter Pan.

Fun Fact: Did you know there are over 500 versions of Cinderella in many different languages and cultures.  

I chose to create a project for Peter Pan, because I loved these cute fairies.

I used a file from Miss Kate's Cuttables and cut the fairies from permanent vinyl.  I then added them to the side of a stemless wine glass to make a little light.

Now, it is your turn.  Create a fairy tale inspired project with your cricut and join us at Bitten By The Bug 2.

Bitten By The Bug 2- Easter or Bunnies Challenge

 

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome to a new project I created for the Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge for the next two weeks, with an Easter theme.  I love Easter and couldn't wait to create something beautiful. 

I used a free SVG from Love SVG to create the cross for the canvas.

I then cut the flowers from the Art Philosophy Close to My Heart Cartridge and cut them at different sizes.  The leaves I cut from the Spellbinders Foilage die set in different shades of green.

 

I placed the flowers on the canvas and glued them on with hot glue. 

 

 

To finish the project, I added some Stickles to the flower petals and cut and placed a few leaves inbetween the flowers.

I love how it came out and can't wait to decorate for Easter.

Thank you for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment, then create your own Easter or bunny project and share it with us at Bitten by The Bug 2.

 

Wrapping up 2020

Hello Crafty Friends,

What a year it has been?  I guess we can say that 2020 will never be forgotten.  

As I look to wrapping up this year and looking forward to 2021, I can say that this year has been a year of learning and reflecting.  Through this pandemic I have learned more about myself and those around me.  I have learned what my priorities are and what I want to see in the future.  My vision has been cleared by living through 2020.

I have one last project I created for this year.

These have been popular among my friends.  I never thought that something could be made to remember this year.

I bought the ornaments from Dollar tree and used PolyAcrylic to get the glitter inside the ornament.  I then used my Cricut and permanent vinyl to cut the image.

Here's to 2020, may we never forget what we have learned and only look forward to 2021.

See you 2021 with all new projects. 

Love to Craft Challenge Blog

Hello Crafty Friends,

Can you believe it is November?  Where did the last month go?  All I know is that Fall is in full swing and Thanksgiving will be here soon.

I have been doing more and more crafting with vinyl and wanted to share my newest project.

I took 3 pumpkins from the Dollar Tree and painted them off white.  I then used my Cricut to cut out the words Grateful, Thankful and Blessed out of vinyl.  I then stacked the pumpkins adding leaves inbetween them and gluing them together.  I then added a big bow with some orange flowers to the top.  

Easy peasy, but oh so fun!

I challenge you to craft something and share it with us at Love to Craft Challenge Blog.

Bitten By the Bug 2: Sports

 

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It is Monday and we have a new challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2.  Let's see your sports projects.

For my project, I created a sign for my brother's front yard.

 The sign itself I found at Dollar Tree.  The sign said Friends and Family.  I painted over them with White paint and started over.

I cut the Dallas Cowboys out of vinyl using my Cricut and a file I bought on Etsy.  I then sprayed it to seal it and added some ribbon to jazz it up.

He loved it and I was so glad he did.  It was a simple project and fun to do for him.

Now your turn.  Make something using your Cricut that is sports related and join the challenge at Bitten By the Bug 2.
