Vinyl Cups

Vinyl Cups-My Newest Obsession

I love my new Silhouette Cameo, after selling so many, I figured I better try out what I am selling, so I finally did. And I am in LOVE !!  I have always used my Cricut and probably will still keep it for some of my favorite Disney, Hello Kitty and Art Philosophy Cartridges, but I do love not having to buy a whole cartridge for one image.  And the Cameo cuts the smallest of pieces.  I mean some of these "viney swirls" cut out so amazing. 

You can buy replacement blades and mats here in my store as well as embellishments and basic supplies for your scrapping needs.  I do still sell Cameos for $251, but I order them one at a time since I am an extremely small business and they are expensive to keep in stock. Usually takes me about 3 days to get it then I ship it to you. Just message me at creativecutterscorner.yahoo.com   My store link is Creative Cutters Corner

Now on to the pics...






I also made some customized ones with straps for my great niece and nephew. Happy Crafting...more to come..

BABY TIME

BABY TIME

This past weekend a shower was held for a church friend so I tried my hand at putting custom vinyl on a portable baby wipe container.  A Cameo was used for the name, and a Cricut was used for the rest.  The baby feet were cut using the Cricut New Arrival cartridge and the vinyl was outdoor vinyl.  The Circles were cut using the Art Phil. cartridge  The back was covered in little feet and dots also.


This coming week will probably be used in starting on Mother's Day cards and projects for the upcoming craft fair at Sango United Methodist Church.  Come see us on Saturday May 11th in Clarksville TN and pick up some items.

Custom tumblers will also be available that day as well as other end of the year teachers appreciation gifts.

Happy Crafting....Carolyn

Wedding Congratulations

Wedding Congratulations

This past weekend we attended the wedding of a lovely bride and her groom. The bride and her family have been friends with ours for many years, in fact, she and her brother were both in my mothers sunday school class (Geez, I think I'm showing my age so we will move on...quickly :)

I made a card for her from one of my favorite stamp sets, Wedding Wishes from Jaded Blossom and did the colors in purple since that was one of her wedding colors.  Used a heavy cardstock and some pattern paper that I bought at a local craft store.  Added some stickles and small rhinestones
(which you can buy at my store) www.creativecutterscorner.com


I have been hoping to expand my vinyl useage so a friend helped show me how to do a wedding frame for the couple.  Hope to many more in the months to come.  Aren't friends great testers of our beginning projects! After all, they can't complain if they don't like it since it's a gift...lol  Thanks to Erin and Jaime for helping me with this.



Next blog I will be showing a baby vinyl project.  Thanks so much for looking.  Happy Crafting....Carolyn

Easter Vinyl Bucket

Easter Vinyl Buckets

This weekend was a mixture of weather in my area of the woods, Saturday was cloudy and temperature wise, ok...Sunday was cloudy and 45 when we got up for church then by noon it was 43 and hail...yep, hail...then a torrent of rain. Today is snow, cold and windy. I think the groundhog was just angry someone woke him up so he gave us false hope.

On to the projects....I made my great niece and nephew Easter buckets.  I wish the buckets had smooth edges, and you would think that would be easy to find, but it's not.  I am still happy with how they came out though. 

Supplies:  Oracal outdoor vinyl, transfer tape, Cricut cartridges, Hello Kitty, Alphalicious, Plantain Schoolbook, Elegant Edges, Mickey  and  Friends, and my Cricut cutting machine.

My little niece loves Hello Kitty so of course that is what hers was...

My little nephew is still quite young and not into sports yet, so I had a choice between trucks, cars, and dinosaurs. So I choice trucks.  His has 6 different colors of trucks and dots...



A few more Easter posts to come...if I had more time, it would be scary...all these ideas and not enough time to do it all.

Happy Crafting...

Easter Egg Vinyl

Easter Egg Vinyl

I have found a new addiction (Yep, I know...like I really needed one) I'm sure my family will be so thrilled that I have discovered yet another "crafting habit".  Vinyl...yep, have had the machines to do it, but was always to chicken to dive in.  So I started slow...personalized Easter Eggs, and it is so much fun.  I have sold a few but mainly made them for family and friends kids.
If you have ever been scared of trying this, dive right in.  I used my Cricut but you can use any cutting machine and expect to explore other options when I buy myself a Cameo  (Imagine that, I sell them in my store and didn't keep one for myself-how silly is that!!)  You can find mats, blades and other scrapping accessories at my website Creative Cutters Corner

Items used:  Cricut, Alphalicious Cartridge, Celebrate with flourish cartridge, and several size hole punches, oracal vinyl and eggs bought at a local store. 





I don't waste a single piece of the vinyl, I have bought several punches on sale and now punch every single scrap and store the dots for use later.

Happy Crafting!

Final St Patricks & Easter Treats

Final St Patricks & Easter Treats

I did my first spring craft fair this weekend and it wasn't too bad.  Would have made more profit if my husband hadn't bought me a "Miche" purse for my birthday this week.  Oh well, still made enough to make it worth my trip there.  I'm going to post a bunch of items on this blog post.  Alot of them don't have as much bling as I would like due to quanitity that I had to make but sold well as Easter Basket stuffers.  Also sold some handmade baby cards and my Magnolia cards which I colored with Copics. 

A variety of supplies were used in these projects, but of course, one of my favorite is the Jaded Blossom stamps for Easter.  I will mark those pics that used their stamps, they are just amazing!  Other items I carry in my online scrapbook supply store, please visit us at Creative Cutters Corner and join our Facebook page and blog too if you aren't a follower, we would sure like to have you.  Now on to the fun...

Easter Treats 2

Easter Treats 2

Back again with another Easter Treat...Yes, I know...I do alot of these tube treats, but they are so cute and sell so well at the craft fairs.  If I do them for family or close friends children, I do add more "bling". But for mass quantities I keep it more simple.

List of supplies used on this one:  Paper and Cardstock by Paper Studios, Stamps and Tag Die by Jaded Blossom, Brach's Robins Eggs Jelly Beans, and Pastel Easter M&M's,  Quickutz Die (Chick), Zig Glue, Tacky Tape (On Sale Now) , Orange Momento Ink and 1x8 bags which can be purchased in my store Creative Cutters Corner and some Orange Glitter Tulle I purchased at Hobby Lobby.

A project first will be posted tomorrow. It's so cute (still on a learning curve but think it turned out ok) so check back tomorrow for that item.

Be blessed everyone
Carolyn
