My Creative Time :: Monday Madness...Imagine That!

Good morning! And welcome to another Monday Madness...Imagine That episode! As always, Emma challenged her design team to break out those Cricut Imagines and use them on a project for today. I chose to use the cartridge Lori's Garden. It took me a LONG time to get this cartridge, because it was exclusive at one point. I scooped it up as soon as it became available on the Cricut website. :)


I spritzed the flower with some Glimmer Mist.

Supplies:
Stampin' Up Crumb Cake cardstock
Lori's Garden Imagine Cartridge (for all patterns and colors)
Misc Bazzill cardstock (brown)
My Creative Time "Hello Spring" stamp set
Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge (page 21)
Stampin' Up Early Espresso ink
Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist
misc pearl

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday!

For my project, I chose the stamp set, Turn That Frown Upside Down

I used Make the Cut software with my Cameo and everything came 
out perfect once again.

Sweet friend...

I am totally in LOVE with the Silhouette Cameo! It cuts just a little more perfect each time I use it! You can check it out HERE at Silhouette America. I know it is available for purchase elsewhere, such as Oh My Crafts and Scrapbook Express just to name a few. 

Of course my sentiment is from My Creative Time and you can check out the new online store HERE!!


I chose this file from My Scrap Chick called "Did you Know," because of the super small pieces I wanted to try and cut. I am testing how it cuts on different paper and how I need to adjust my settings. I've already cut through one side of my mat. Oopsie. It certainly doesn't need as much pressure as other die-cutting machines. 


Look at her eyes! Perfectly cut circles that are super small!


I can't recommend the Cameo enough. I am still trying to get my printing and cutting lined up as perfectly as I can, so I haven't gotten any projects done using that feature yet. Hopefully I will have some soon!

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Kraft and White cardstock
Stampin' Up misc textured cardstock
My Scrap Chick Did You Know cut file
Lettering Delights Nancy's Buddies (grass)
Silhouette Store (clouds)
My Creative Time Teeny Tag Greetings stamps and dies
Pebbles, Inc. Chalk

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink Black, Pure Poppy, White, and Soft Stone cardstock
Stampin' Up cardstock
Lettering Delights Be My Matey paper pack (printed with my Epson 1100)
