Cricut Card Fairy Army Birthday Blog Hop

We are celebrating our 3rd Birthday as Cricut Card Fairies. Who are we - we are volunteers who make card for folks who need a little pick me up, or who have lost someone in their life or for someone reaching a milestone. We have completed over 750 missions! Crystal is our leader and does a great job! I do it because I love making cards and bringing a little bit of cheer or thoughtfulness to the recipients!

You should have come from RachelM

CCF Thankful Blog Hop

Welcome to our second Blog Hop with the Cricut Card Fairies.
We did one in September that was a school theme and this month is a thankful theme.

I am thankful for my family, my children, and my friends. We would like you to visit all blogs and comment along the way.
Crystal is our commander and you start there to get the listing if you have not already done so.
If you have followed along - you would have just come from blondemommy26
I am your last stop before you return to Crystal for a final comment.

Here are a couple things I made - a card and gift bag set.

Directions for the bag can be found here. (I made a Santa suit one below) You can decorate the front any way you like. I did this one to match the Pilgrim outfit. I think you can figure out the Pilgrim motif without directions.

I am giving away blog candy - to win - please follow my blog and leave a comment. I will pull a name for those who qualify. I've posted the candy picture below. There will be two winners of the cloth fabric stitched stickers. (You pick one from the set)

Enjoy - if you need the whole list of the hopper spots:
Here is the order in case you get lost along the way.

So on to my items in which I used the ALL ABOUT SCHOOL stamp set that Regina graciously gave to me to use. Please enjoy these crafty creations.

First is a charming large clothes pin that I picked up at AC Moore for 1.00! As soon as I saw it - I thought I had to add the ruler from the set I used.
I first painted the item in Americana Red paint.
Then Mod Podge the ruler image on. Let it dry and did another layer of Mod Podge.

I love it! And hope you will give it a try.

The second items are book marks.
I used a scallop punch to punch out the sentiment and added a red heart to the center.
Used my Stampin' Up office punch to create a little notebook paper for my niece to write down what books she read.

The third item is a post it note pad cover. I printed the image onto yellow card stock. Adhered it to a piece of card stock measured at 8 1/2" x 3 1/4". Scored at 3 1/8", 1/2", 3 1/8".
I adhered the 3 x 3 sticky note pad and folded it up into a little keeper. I added a fab SU! ribbon and a button in the shape of a crayon. The inside was a little plain so I added a Tim Holtz label.

Now on to my Blog Candy. To win the following you MUST be or become a follower and leave a comment on THIS post.

I am entering this in a few challenges as well - one is back to school items at Paper Garden Projects and at The Sisterhood of Crafters - anything but a card. At a new blog I found - Bee Crafty whose theme is anything goes as long as it's a digi.

CRICUT CARD FAIRY 2nd BLOG Hop this Friday

Please come back on Friday for our second blog hop with candy at every stop.

In memory

This is for a Cricut Card Fairy Mission # 651. In which a mom lost her son in a car accident. She is coming up on the one year anniversary and we were asked to make her a card with butterflies. You see, when sees these flying around it gives her a little peace.


Butterflies from SU! embosslit cut from vellum
Background run through the CB folder
Pierced the corners of the brown and white corners
Sentiment from Studio G which I won in a blog challenge.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Piercings at Allsorts
Layout sketch from Card Patterns
Object with wings or bugs at Crafty Creations and CRAFT challenge blog

Get Funky August Challenge

Get Funky Challenge for August was to use the digi images and LO as seen in this link to the left.

Here is my creation that I made for submission on the Cricut Card fairy - for a 13 year old girl. hope she likes this card and cheers her up.

White paper piece was run through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder to give texture to the card. The sentiment was raised by foam squares, and rhinestones added as well

Circut card fairy Card - for a little boy

Wishing well thoughts to a 4 year old. I am told he loves penguins - so to my surprise these 3 cute critters are on Zoo Balloo Cricut Cartridge fit the bill. (Mission 364)

I ran the cover through Cuttlebug Emobossing folder.

Made my own icebergs and inked them, the "hi" is also the alphabet on the cartridge.

Made some extra little cuties for the inside - the little boy can take them off and play with them or put them on something else if he likes - I used repositionable glue.
