Stampin with Carol Read

MDS meets CRICUT EXPLORE!

By Carol Read Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator July 29, 2014 Cricut Explore, Flower Patch No comments

I finally managed to sit down and pair Stampin'Up!'s My Digital Studio with my Cricut Explore Machine! Love the results! I used the Flower Patch digital download to create an iron on design for a T-Shirt. If you would like to see how I made this happen, there is a very BASIC walk thru video posted Here I'm not set up very well to do vidoes but you should be able to get the gist. Hope this helps you. ;)

Rock your Creativity with Fun Folds or 3D Projects

By Carol Read Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator July 25, 2014 Hello Love 8 comments

This is my first blog hop, So exiting! I chose to do a 3D project. This is a fun creation I found on Sam Donald's blog, I just love her creations. Be sure to check out her blog Here

This is a mini milk carton and carrier. Isn't it just cute?? I used Daffodil Delight card stock for the main color and then added some Designer Series Paper from the Moonlight paper stack. I used one of the new hostess sets called Hello Love. I just love the little bird in this set! I punched out the label using the Curly label punch, stamped the sun on it in crushed curry ink, then stamped the sentiment in Island Indigo ink. Added the little bird with demensionals to make him pop! I punched a handle out using the Word Window punch then I used White seam binding ribbon to finish off the handle. I used a small strip of DSP over the top of each carton and stapled them close. (after adding some yummy treats of course) Really happy with the way this came out. (Thank You Sam for your wonderful Blog and all the hard work you put into it).

Thank you also for the VC Blog Hop and giving me the chance to be a part of this fun group!

Burger Box

I would like to start off by saying I LOVE MY CRICUT EXPLORE!! That said....here is a little box I made from a template that I uploaded into design space and cleaned up then cut with my Explore!!
I used pink pirouette card stock from Stampin'Up!, silver ribbon (also from Stampin'Up! ) along with the Work of Art stamp set for the sentiment and background. Jolee's stickers for embellishments. Such a cute little treat box. And because I used my Explore I can easily change the size of the box to suit my needs!!
