Love Exploding Box- Die Cut reveal-HEART

Hello Fellow crafters..  

Us girls over at SOUS have another Friday Die Cut reveal for you and for our challenge this week you are to use a HEART shape on our project..  

I have wanted to make one of these exploding boxes for the longest time now and today I was inspired to finally get one made..LOL

This is a little naughty box I made for my husband.. His birthday was last month and I didn't get him anything since he has everything.. So, this is a late gift, but I'm sure once he opens it up, he will be one happy camper, men are so easily ammused..LOL

So, here is my project:

 It turned out more girly than I had wanted it to , but I just could not think of what to add on to the top of the box.. So, I grabbed my stash of flowers and here it is..LOL

and for a few photos of the inside:

So, the hearts come in as they flutter when you open the box.. I have attached them to strips of acetate 

which are glued underneath the center..  Then added a big pink flower with a heart shaped brad that says "The One!".. Aaaaaaw..LOL

I found a bunch of  love quotes online today and printed them onto the white cardstock, then cut them down and glued them to a bunch of pull out tags.. and there is an added bonus to this box, there are also little naughty tags in there as well just for my hubby.. LOL

and for the supplies that I used:

Cricut Imagine

Cricut Cartridge: George and Basic Shapes (hearts)

white cardstock

papers by. Bringmann (romantic collection)

large pink flower: Prima

large white flower: Petaloo

small colored flowers: Petaloo

Leaves by: Iamroses

acetate strips

glue dots

light blue lace ribbon

large heart brad

I think that about does it for me again for today... Do stop by SOUS and check out what the other design team members have created for our Die cut reveal..

thank you all so much for stopping by today.. I hope everyone has a wonderfully creative weekend..

Dream Big- Die Cut Challenge-SKY

TGIF Ladies!! us girls over at SOUS started our Die Cut challenges the Friday before last and this week's challenge theme is "SKY".. I wanted to think out side of the box and didnt' wanna make your regular "sun shining!" type of sky layout..LOL  dont' get me wrong, those are all beautiful but I just wanted to make something a little different, even for me..LOL

One of our very favorite times when my kids were younger, was to sit and watch Disney Movies while we had lunch and some down time.. rarely did any of them take a nap once they started walking..LOL

this layout was inspired by one of those times and who doesn't like Peter Pan ?.

here is my take on our SKY challenge:

I will admit that this is by far, one of my all time favorite die cut layouts that I've created..  and the photo is of my boys, when they were just babies.. My eldest son would climb into the crib of my youngest and steal his bottle, go hide behind the couch and drink it..LOL  I luv memories like that now that they are in their late teens..

Here are a few close ups of the layout:

 the ship I cut using the "Paper Doll Dress Up" cartrige.. black cardstock and did some doodling on it with white gel pen..

Tinkerbell sitting on the cloud...I had a hard time with her face, even though she isn't cut very small.. and then the city below I also found on the "Paper Doll Dress Up" cartridge.. used my DS to weld it all together..

and a close up of my boys.. Aaron has the really surprised look on his face " o-ohhh, mommy caught me!"..LOL

and for supplies used:

Dark blue, yellow, white, red and black cardstock..

Cricut Cartridges:

Pooh and Friends : Clouds

George and Basic Shapes: Big circle (moon) and title font

Tink and Friends: Tinkerbell and stars

( I used my imagine, white cardstock and the color wheel to create my tink)

Paper Doll Dress Up: Ship and city

pop dots (clouds)

white gel pen for doodling

well ladies.. that does it for me for this Friday Reveal... I want to thank you all so much for stopping by today and looking at my take on our die cut challenge.. do stop by SOUS and check out what the other design team members have created to inspire you with.. just click HERE and you will be re-directed to SOUS..

Being Adorable is Dogs Play-SOUS die cut reveal

Suprise!! well, us girls over at SOUS have been pondering up some new ideas on how to get the most out of our die cutting machines and we thought to start having die cut challenges in between the sketch challenges.. Brilliant, yes I know..LOL

You can stop by SOUS for more information, but just quickly wanted to share what I have created for our very first dye cut challenge.. Our theme for this challenge was "PLAY".. you can interpret that  anyway you want to, I used the word "PLAY" on my layout and tried to make it fun.. 

Here is my take on our very first challenge:

The photo is of our pup, Jery aka little Fckr..LOL  and yes, he answers to that name everytime, comes running with his bushy tail a wagging..LOL

But, my daughter snapped this photo of him begging to go out in the back patio one winters day.. He just looks so sweet and innocent, and trust me when I tell you , he is anything but ...I love him regardless..

as for the die cuts, I used my Cricut Imagine and my Nate's ABC's cartridge, except the hollow circle is George and Basic Shapes..

and for a few close ups:

and for supplies used:

Cricut Imagine die cutter

Cricut cartridges:  

Nate's ABC's (dog, dog and wagon, food bowl and ball, font)

George and Basic Shapes (hollow circle)

papers by: Echo Park (Playground collection)

cardstock: green, blue, orange and red

popdots

white gel pen 

wow!! that was a semi short list, but I basically concentrated on one main cartridge and those cuts on the Nate's ABC's are so super cute...will have to play with that one more often...

Okey then everyone, that was my take on our very first dye cut challenge.. Do stop by SOUS and see what the other ladies have created using the same "THEME".. you won't be disappointed!!

Hope everyone has a great and creative weekend..
hugs
