Calling All Cards!!!!!!

Hey there my crafty peeps!  Yep!  I'm still talking about the Stampede.  Not just to you all, but to everyone I see!  That's just how much fun I had.

As every Circlette knows, when you go to a Circle event, you must take Calling Cards.  While I know I made over 100 cards (which means I would get about that many in return), I was not prepared for the magnitude of genius and creativity that went into some of these cards.  The pain staking details was enormous!  The cards were like little gifts you kept receiving all weekend.  Here are some pics of cards I received.

Here they are laid out on the table.  They almost cover my entire breakfast table!

Here's a closer look at one of the top quadrants. 

Here's the other top quadrant.  That's Admin Becky's card in the top left corner with the cauldron and cat.

Thanks to all my circlettes for trading cards with me and giving me inspiration.  Now I'm off to design my next card!!!!

Smooches,



I'm gettin' ready for a stampede! Cricut Stampede that is!!!!

My Spring Break has started off well!  I just returned from a trip to Atlanta.  Now I am back and in full swing preparing for the Cricut Stampede this weekend.  Cricut Circle members make calling cards to trade at swarms.  I designed mine a couple of weeks ago and finally collected all the papers, cut everything out and put them together.

But I knew I wouldn't, or rather couldn't, stop there.  I decided to make a name plate and a placemat for my table at the swarm.  Here are the details.

Carts:

• Everyday Cricut (Circle Exclusive) - circle bug head, name plate base, "o" in Robin
• 50 States - Texas
• Sugar and Spice Lite - scaalloped square
• George and Basic Shape - triangles
• Base Camp - Name

Calling Card

Since my MB name and blog name is Delta Scrapper, I had to include that in my design in some kind of way.  So I created a delta symbol by layering two triangles, one slightly smaller than the other, on my Gypsy to make the symbol.  I also wanted to add a feminine base so I cut some scalloped squares to lay on top of the 3x3 base.  I added a small Texas and bug head to finish the design.

Here's a trick to make sure everything fits - I put a 3x3 square on my Gypsy to use as my card base template.  I then tested all the layers on this template to "see" how the card would look assembled.

Nameplate

I love the Cricut Everyday cart!  I was thumbing through the book when I saw the name plate.  I new I had to make one of these for my table at the Stampede.  I pretty much continued my theme from the calling cards on to this project.  I modified the card base a little by hiding the slits that would have held the blue card in place and making the bug head bigger.  I also slid the bug head around the Texas so it could hug it.  I then layered the delta on top and glued it on the edge of the card. 

I welded the letters of my name together on my Gypsy (it is 2 different fonts) and layered a green bug head on top of the white one.

Placemat

Everything is bigger in Texas!  So I made a bigger version of all the elements in my projects for a placemat.  I laminated it so any glue or ink won't stick to it. 

I can't wait to display these items on my table at the Stampede.  Look for me and my goodies!!!  Later Crafty People!!!!!

Smooches,
