Great Labels Cut from Small Talk Frames & Tags Cartridge

Ah, finally after 11 hours of sitting down and at the same time cutting images, printing pictures and chatting with my RAK group, I finished cutting all the label images in Small Talk, Frames & Tags Cart.  I only cut my fave ones and of course I will be sharing some to my fellow RAKers at our FB group.

I really really really love the said cartridge coz so many images ... if not all ... are just perfect for Smashing and PL pages.  This is one cartridge that I don't regret buying at all.   Well actually I have no regret in investing with the Cricut Carts.  I still believe that I can work with it side-by-side with my Brother Scan N Cut and of course my Silhouette.

Here are the all the cuts I have made for 11 hours yesterday:

 Here's a closer look

 I had to show the finger pointing under the white paper so you can see it clearly.

Aren't they cute?  So useful for any paper projects! 

Ok, gotta go ....

Have a great evening and happy week-end crafting to all!

Playing with Long Forgotten Punchers

Eeeeewwwwww filled with dusts, so sad :(  Last 11 April, after reading one of the wishes of a fellow crafter in our RAK group, she mentioned that she wants cute embellishments.  As far as I know I already packed and sent the package but to date she hasn't received it yet.  Hopefully tomorrow or at least early next week she has it.

I know I'm a bad crafter coz I buy a LOT of tools and materials but it takes years before I think of using it.  It's a sickness that I'm doing my best to overcome BUt I know I'm not the only one, right?

Here are the cuties I punched and crossing my fingers she will appreciate the effort if not the items itself.

Looking at all my punchers, I noticed that ( aside from the accumulated dusts) my MS punchers ... most of them turned yellowish.  I hang all of it on a rod as well as my Stampin' UP and other brands but all my EK Success punchers are in a drawer.  I think I should keep them in one of my drawers.  Oh well, that's another story.

until then....

34 RAK packages =)

Before anything else I would like to congratulate one of the creative lady I have encountered in crafting world and that is no other than INKSTAINS =)  I believe as of this writing she already hit the 2.5million mark pageviews.  Awesome, right?   She is a very talented lady in all sorts of crafting and she is kind enough to pack some yummy goodies to one fellow crafter.  Go and visit her craft site and see how wonderful creations she has made all these years and it has loads of tutorial, too.  Plus, if you leave a comment you are entitled to the raffle =)  I tried my luck coz it looks like ANYBODY is welcome which means not only in U.S.A.  I always feel sad when yummy goodies are up for grabs BUT exclusive to US residents only but of course I understand how expensive mailing is.

Since we are talking about give-a-ways, I, myself was sssssssssssssooooooooooo busy yesterday checking the wishlist twice, pack, print address labels then adhering, sealing, and sending it out!  I belong to a RAK group at FB for Project Life and all members get to write their wishlist.  I know I have a lot of excess craft materials so I am fulfilling their wishes.  I have to do it in batches coz we are a LOT in the group.  I packed 34 packages and sent half of it this day and will send the other half by next week.  I had no choice but to divide it coz I have to hurry home since my son is alone and it was a llllllllooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg queue at the postal office.

Hopefully they will be able to get their packages within 2 weeks or less =)

 Happy crafting everyone =)

Have a blessed Easter week!

Polaroid Frames Cut from Cricut (RAK)

Good afternoon everyone!  It's a beautiful Sunday here in Sweden that I took a long walk 3x this day.  It would have been perfect if our dog Kasper is still alive.  This kind of weather he loves and would literally drag me for long walks.

Anyway, I still played with my Cricut today and once again made use of scraps and yes, I played with Small Tlak Frames & Tags Cratridge.  I just LOVE the cartridge coz everything is in it and perfect for Project Life pages.  Honestly, the reason why I am motivated to play with my Cricut lately is because I want to fulfill fellow crafters wishes.  Some of them don't have a machine and based on the wishlist they want particular cuts either from Cricut or Silhouette.  Going through the wishlist, luckily I have the carts to make some cuts =)

My project this day is just to cut some polaroid frames.  I did cut ALL the available said frames and will be packing it for mailing.  Here are the frames:

 Oh I even made some teeny weeny tags, too.  I had frustration when I cut these cuties so maybe I should buy the Cricut Explore so that small cuts are clean and crisp!

Here are the frames each laid down for easy viewing.  Something went wrong with the words but I did cut each of the same size.

Above frames were cut at 4" each

Now, the following frames were cut at 3 3/4" each:

 

I think I will be cutting more for my personal use =)  But now I have to cook dinner so no Cricut Play for an hour or so.

Happy Crafting =)

Mini Cameras from Small Talk Frames & Tags Cartridge

Last night while preparing dinner I played with my latest cart Small Talk Frames and Tags Cartridge.  My first cut was the camera.  I find it so cute and perfect for Project Life cards as an embellishment.  The cardstock I used are just leftovers so I had to cut it one by one instead of auto fill.  I made assorted colors and white to the size of 1 1/4" then added crystal stickles on the lens portion of each camera.  All in all I made 48 pieces.  It's a lot for a first batch so a portion will be given to someone lucky at a group for RAKers at FB.  But just in case you come across this blog and would love to have then just leave a comment and rest assured you will be included in the raffle =)

I will choose a winner on Saturday, tomorrow, 12 April 2014 at 10:15 a.m. (Sweden time)

The colorful ones =)

The white ones =)

See, I told you I only used scraps fro this play =)

And here's the set I'm gonna give as my RAK for this day =)  Oh yes, I'm including 3 washi tapes!

Ok now I really have to prepare for work.

Happy crafting!

My Give-a-way : A Set of Finger Stamps

I'm trying to find my new portable printer Canon Selphy CP810 which I bought mid-January this year but I just can't remember where I put it.  I have the tendency when I buy things either I just leave it in its plastic bag or remove from the bag and place it somewhere thinking "Oh I will check and try it later or tomorrow" until it's totally forgotten.  Yeah, it is a bad habit indeed coz I have tons of tools and materials that I haven't tried at all.

This is one example:

I bought this box filled with finger stamps in UK when I visited my brother 2011.  Each stamp is sealed so I opened one set and tried it out.  IT WORKS just fine!!!  What will I do with these?  Well, one set would be mine then 3 sets will be given to each teacher of my son then one set goes to my FB RAK Group then the last set is anyone who wants it will get it. 

How?  I will not force you to be my follower/friend here at blogspot.  It's your choice.  Just leave a message and by Sunday I will random pick one winner.  That's all you have to do =)

Here's a closer look of the images:

Happy Crafting =)
