Today is my last day doing Cricut demos. I'll miss hanging out with my crafty friends and cutting stuff out on the Cricut for hours and hours a day. I won't miss the being on my feet, lugging boxes, and Costco snack bar. Over the next couple of days I'm going to show you some of the cool things I've been making. The first day I focused on making these nesting dolls using the Paisley cartridge. That cartridge has a whimsical style and involves a lot of layering. I don't mind layering... more » -
Here is a little coupon book that I made for my husband three years ago for Valentine's Day. I used a few different Stampin' Up sets to make it. I'm pretty sure they are all retired now but I'm posting this now more for the idea and less for you wanting to make an exact replica. The inside used the Create a Coupon stamp set. Each coupon has a perforation on the inside edge for easy removal. I did that using the perforation tool from the Stampin' Up cutter kit. I layered the ... more » -
Punched paper flowers were all around at CHA Winter this year. Almost every paper, punch, and scrapbooking booth had some on display. The flowers shown in the picture above were made using Punch Bunch paper punches. I love all the detail you can get in a flower using just a few different paper punches. This last picture reminded me of the hanging bouquet I made for my daughter. I may need to do another one using paper flowers! It would certainly be less expensive. ... more » -
I've given you a few sneak peaks of the projects I completed for the Dinotalk booth at CHA. Now it's time to reveal all. I altered a total of four products. All of the products come "naked". They are blank canvases ready for embellishment. Each product also has a recordable device so you can put your own audio message inside. I think my favorite one was the frame. I love how it turned out. I might be a little swayed by the fact that I used an actual picture of my family inside.... more » -
Here's another peak at one of the products I made for the Dinotalk booth at the CHA trade show. The trade show portion begins today and my samples will be on display for all to see. I will be heading over there first thing to check out their booth and snap some pictures. Today is the day where I will be running around like a crazy woman trying to report on all the cool new things that will be coming to a craft store near you. I've also got an interview set up with Kathy Ireland this... more » -
When I was demoing the Cricut last week in Michigan, I made some Christmas cards for demos. We had the Winter Woodland cartridge and it was the first time I had the chance to use it. For the Warm Winter Wishes card I used the Winter Woodland cartridge exclusively. This cards looks really cool in person. I used Winter Woodland and Storybook. I put glossy accents on the corner swirls. You also can't really tell from the picture but the paper is sparkly. This is an in-progress ph... more » -
For the next several days I'm at a Costco in Grand Rapids, MI doing some demos for the Cricut. It's a lot of fun and when you spend over 11 hours a day with the Cricut, you come up with a lot of fun things to make! I'm going to be showing you some of the projects I've been working on over the next couple of days. The first thing I made was a mini calendar advent. How festive! An advent calendar hanging on boxes and boxes of Cricut Expressions. If I had made this at home, I would ha... more » -
I made this advent calendar last year before ChristyNelson.net was born. It is going to be used again this year and I'm really proud of it, so I thought I would show it off. First things first. Grammar. Yes, I know I don't have the other "l" on "til". If i had another "l" sticker, I would put it on there. Instead I'm going for the urban spelling. Now onto the crafting. I made this using the tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers (they also laugh in the face of correct grammar). The... more » -
How great is this project? This card organizer has pockets for each month and has a perpetual calendar so you can use it year after year. I used this tutorial with some modifications. I relied on designer paper for decorating the organizer and in this particular one I kept the pages white to save on cost (I eventually sold this at a craft show). This is the inside of one that I made using all double sided paper. I really love how it turned out. Instead of using a bind it all, I pun... more » -
This is a cute little box full of stationery. I made it for a wedding gift. You can find the pdf instructions at this site (we'll forgive her calling it a "stationary" box). Had I realized how easy this box was to put together, I would have made one a long time ago. Here is the box all closed up. I used a Simply Scrappin' kit from Stampin' UP called Petal Party. I chose this paper from my stash because the colors matched the wedding invitations. All the paper I used came dire... more »
