Cricut Imagine More Cards Birthday Card...

Cricut Imagine More Cards Finished Card

Hallie finished the inside of the card using the Cricut Imagine Blast Off cartridge



Close Up Of the Cuttlebug Embossing 

Printed image from Imagine More Cards Cartridge before adding it to the birthday card.

 

This is the base of the card and I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder Spots & Dots.

One of my very best friends since high school called me last night and asked if I could make her 3 year old grandson a birthday card. Of course I was happy to do this for her. Her grandson Trevor is turning 4 years old in a few days so today Hallie and I worked on this simple but adorable card. We decided to use the Cricut Imagine More Cards Cartridge. We wanted to use the "Hope Your Birthday's A Blast" image it is and on page 11 in the booklet. We worked on this so fast that we forgot to write down the measurements for you. I am so sorry about that. After we printed the "Hope Your Birthday's A Blast" image we took a photo of it and you can see that above. Then we took the colors brown and matching blue cardstock for the mat and card base. For the embossing on the brown cardstock we chose to use the Cuttlebug Spot's & Dots embossing folder. Hallie and I felt it worked well with this image. Then all we had to do was layer each piece and add some ribbon and that is basically it. We made this card a bit larger then I normally would only because he is turning 4 years old and I wanted him to have a bigger card for his special birthday. We took some ribbon that matched the blue's in the card and added a ribbon on the top left corner. That was Casey and Hallie's idea. Hallie wanted to decorate the inside of Trevor's card and she picked out these images from the Cricut Imagine Blast Off Cartridge. The rocket ship is found on page 41 and we used the same layers as in the booklet. Hallie also wanted the words to say "Happy Birthday" and the number "4" since Trevor is turning 4 years old. I can tell you that the letters are about 1" each and I cannot remember what size we used for the rocket ship. I used pop dots to add dimension to the main image on the front of the card and mono adhesive for the Happy Birthday letters, the Rocket Ship and the number 4 for the inside of the card. All of the card stock, ribbon and any other products used were from our stash. I hope Trevor loves his birthday card from his grandma.

So we just wanted to share this little quick and cute card for you today. This was our first Cricut Imagine Card we have made since I got it. I have to say that it is very simple to use. Although we have made little things here and there but never a card.

Hallie made a little box using the Cricut Imagine all by herself today. Tomorrow we will post photos of her project so you can see what she did. She is so proud of herself and I am very very proud of her. Hallie is only 11 years old and I believe that including your children and encouraging them to use their creativity is such an amazing and one of the most important gifts you can do for them. Anytime my kids are around while I am making something I always try to include them. Creativity is a beautiful thing and I always encourage them to be as creative as they can be.

 If you have any questions about this card or any other projects please leave me a comment with your email and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for visiting Two Pink Peas.

Casey's Homemade Circut Board with Help From Cricut Imagine...

Casey got to do a special project in science because he is advanced and wanted a challenge to do. So his teacher gave him a circut board project for extra credit. He got 2 letter grades for doing this. Basically what this is all about is 7 elements which include Lead, Copper, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Zinc and Chlorine. Casey had to take speaker wire, brads and christmas tree light bulbs and make the lights light up when you take a 9 volt battery and place them on the 2 brads next to each element. The christmas tree lights were placed in a hole under each of the 6 elements in the chart taped on the cardboard. Then he had to take the speaker wire and an soldering iron and attach the speaker wire to each of the brad ends and the christmas tree lights. He did not solder the christmas tree lights. The wire was just twisted around them. The point of this project is when you take a 9 volt battery and place it on each element's brad the chart will light up.  He had a great time making this with his dad. Since it was around Christmas time he wanted to print out a christmas tree on the Cricut Imagine. I am very proud of Casey for being so advanced and for asking his teacher to challenge him. Great job Casey!! I am very proud of you!! Big Cricut Hugs.. ~Terri

Supplies Used:

12 Gold Colored Brads
Speaker Wire
Clear Packing Tape
9 Volt Battery
Soldering Iron
Element Chart
Cardboard
Cricut Imagine for the Christmas Tree

Happy New Year & Update from Christmas...

Hi everyone!!  Sorry that I have not been on here posting lately. Boy, it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Things have been pretty, well really hectic around here. How was everyone's Christmas? Ours was great as always. Den, my sweet husband went out on the 23rd while I was still sleeping in the early morning to buy gifts for Casey and Hallie. On his way home he called me because I had a doctor's appointment that morning and he wanted to know when I had to leave. I had no idea that he had even left... so I told him my appointment time which was in just about an hour or so. He had told me that he bought me a "prize" and he asked me if I wanted it now or on Christmas. First of all I had NO idea what he had bought for me and I was so excited like a little kid..lol so I said I want it  now..lol. He bought me a new computer and I was completely shocked and very happy because my computer was literally dying. We looked at computers when we went to Best Buy just the day or so before and they were out of stock. So when he came home with a new computer for me I was surprised...very surprised. He did not have to get me anything because he bought me the Cricut Imagine for Christmas. How sweet is he? Anyhow, our kids Casey and Hallie were happy as usual on Christmas morning. They got every thing they asked for. It is hard to believe that Christmas came that fast and now it is over. In just 25 minutes 2012 will be here then on January 3rd my sweet Hallie will turn 11. Now I really can't believe that. Anyhow, I hope you all have a safe & Happy New Year and I hope that your Christmas was just as great as it was for our family. Things should be calming down so I should be able to spend time getting back to my blog again. I really missed you all and posting things. Anyhow, just wanted to give you a quick update and wish you all a Very Happy New Year!! ~Big Cricut Hugs... Terri

A Very Cricut Imagine Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my wonderful blog readers and followers! I hope you got to spend a wonderful day with your family and friends. Today my husband Den surprised me when he came home from his family's house from Thanksgiving dinner and told me about the black friday at Walmart and how the Cricut Imagine was on sale for only $187.00 and it came with 3 cartridges. His mom was going to buy one also so I said "Yes, I want one"!! lol.. So I went up to our local Walmart about  3 1/2 hours early to wait in line since they only had 7 machines in total. Once I got there I grabbed 2 of them. One for me and one for my mother in law. They would not allow us to put them in our carts until it was 10pm on the dot. So we stood there all that time making sure that we would each get a machine. When we were leaving they ended up having 4 machines left. I could not believe that I spent all that time waiting in line and only 3 Imagines were sold. Oh well.. better safe then sorry.

I wanted to thank all of you who have emailed me in regards to the raffle that I am working on for my friend who is trying to get out of a domestic abusive situation. I am working on getting sponsors to add to the raffle. Once I have everything in place I will post all of the details and I will give you plenty of time in advance so you know when it will begin.

Hopefully you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend time with your families. I will talk to you all very soon.

Silence Hides Violence Raffle Announcement....

Every 15 Seconds A Women Is Abused In

The United States!

Sadly, One of my closest friends is trying to get out of a domestic abusive relationship and she needs help...

 alot of help.

Unfortunately she does not have any family that can help or assist her in this time of need.

So Two Pink Peas is going to have a Raffle for my friend and you will have a chance to win an amazing bundle of prizes.

First you will have a chance to win a

 $75.00 HSN Gift Certificate and on top of that included will be 5 to 7 Cricut Cartridges and

2 or 3 12" x 12" DCWV Mat Stacks

and I possibly will add more items as we go.

Stay tuned for more information as I begin to put this together.  This is for a great cause and Domestic Violence needs to be stomped out once and for all. It literally breaks my heart when I hear a woman tell me that they have been or are in an abusive situation. I am sure that you may know someone who has gone through a domestic abuse situation. Helping abused women is so important to our family that we donate money to our local Women's Shelter every single month. We also give them the clothes and shoes our kids have out grown, unused products, any other household items and furniture they may need. Putting an end to Domestic Violence is very important and dear to me! After hearing that my very close friend from high school is dealing with this I had to try and help.

By doing a raffle I believe we can raise some money to help this family and try to take some of this intense

pressure off of their shoulders.

If any of you wish to donate items for this raffle please email me or leave a comment below. Any and all help is very much appreciated and I know that this family appreciates every thing that I am doing to try and help her in this desperate time of need.  I will be announcing this raffle very soon and if you can keep this family in your prayers we would appreciate that so very much!

Big Cricut Hugs to you all,

~Terri
