Go Fish Challenge #16-Mother's Day

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!

Can you believe it's May??? Wow, the time is just cruising along, ha?  Well, today is another challenge over at Go Fish Challenge Blog and I hope you come join us in the challenge. It was wonderful seeing so many join us in the last challenge:)

For this challenge you are to create a Mother's Day shaped card (no square or rectangle)  Here is the photo inspiration for you to get your creative juices going...

My card base was cut from the Lacy Labels cartridge at 4.50 x 5.87 and base layer at 4.03 x 5.25.  The paper for the base layer is from Lasting Impressions-Gardner's Diary and the remaining paper is from SU and K & Company. I layered the pretty paper doily down and the pop dotted a pretty tag which was a die from the Spellbinders-Fancy Tag. I cut the pretty flower from the Flower Shoppe cartridge at 2 1/2 and added a pretty pearl rhinestone to the center. I added a little inking to the project using perfect plum from SU and a beautiful whimsical stamp from My Craft Spot ~Easter set.

The butterfly was from the layering butterfly punch from Martha Stewart-I am really liking this punch! Isn't it just beautiful? I just love the dimension:)

In honor of our Home Planet, Mother Earth, we're having a "Save the Earth" Crawl...each Design Team member will be featuring an original Upcycled-Themed Project that includes at least one Reusable/Recycled Item along with at least ONE Cricut Cut.

How fun is that?

For my project... I have recycled a Lipton Tea box to place a special gift for a friend of mine who is having a birthday.

I covered the box with some pretty pattern paper that I had in my stash. For the front of the box I used Spellbinders Label nine and Fancy tags along with a sentiment that is from K.Andrew Designs ~Scripture Sayings. I distressed all of the pieces with Tim Holtz-walnut stain. I adhered a border which was from a Martha Stewart punch along the edge of the box. I also added some fun lace, ribbon and some rhinestone flourishes and a pretty flower that is cut at 2 1/4 from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I plan on filling the box with some yummy chocolates and a mesh bag with a beautiful necklace in it. Hope she likes it:)

For the top of the box.....I added some pretty silk flowers, decorative button and some pine leaves which I used a pine branch punch from McGill. I added a sweet tag and sentiment from My Craft Spot ~tiny tag set.  Here is a close up of the top piece:)

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!

Hope your all having a wonderful weekend! I have a Mother's Day card that I would like to share with you that I made for my dear Mother.

My card base is 5 1/5 x 5 1/2 and the base layer at 5 1/4 x 5 1./4. The pretty banner is from the Spellbinders die set called Moroccan Accents. Isn't that pretty?? There are a lot of fun dies in this set.  I cut the layered scallops from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge at 3 1/4 and 3 1/2 which I distress some with Tim Holtz-Victorian Velvet. I also embossed them with the polka dots folder for some dimension. The accent in the middle is also from Spellbinders-Moroccan Accents which I dressed it some with some pearls and a beautiful sentiment from My Craft Spot called Always & Forever set.

The flowers are cut from a die that I just purchased at My Creative Time called Rolled Flower Dies. I can see that I am going to love using this die! They cut out great and east to put together:) The leaves are from a Spellbinders die set called foliage. The Happy Mother's Day sentiment is from My Craft Spot ~Happy Easter set. I finished the card by adding a sheer bow and heart stick pin.

Here is a picture of my wonderful Mother and I . She is amazing and just a wonderful person and love her to pieces! Love ya Mom!

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Happy Birthday!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!

Happy Saturday!! I have a fun shaped card for you today! I cut the base from the Birthday Bash Cartridge at 5.04 x 5.90 using my gypsy to weld them together and the base layer cut at 4.57 x 5.35. I cut the cut bee hive from the Create A Critter cartridge at 3 3/4 and embossed it with the polka dots folder. I distressed it a bit with TimHoltz-walnut stain and pot dotted it for some dimension.  The adorable little bumble bee is cut at 2 3/4 plus the layers also embossing part of the layers with the swiss dots folder and the houndstooth folder for texture.

I added a sweet little PK cherub face, a touch of glossy accent and rosy cheeks to this adorable bumble bee.  The sentiment is from My Creative Time -the gift card sentiment set. I finished it off by adding a little faux stitching, a pretty double bow using baby boy crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM and a fun prima flower.

Happy Birthday to you!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!

I hope your all having a great day! I have a quick project that I made today for a few challenges going and to add to my birthday card stash since I am a little low on them right now, especially masculine cards.

Believe it or not....no cricut on this project. Surprised???  I am surprised too because when there is a cricut-less challenge, I seriously scratch my head and cannot come up with thing......too funny!

My card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 with a base layer of 4 x 5 1/4. For the car I used a die from Tim Holtz  called Old jalopy. The paper I used for the old jalopy is from lasting impressions called root beer-crinkle.  It was perfect because it already had a weathered, crinkled look to it. I used some corrugated cardboard that I had in my recycling bin for some of the car pieces and for the border edge at the bottom of card.  I distressed all the pieces with Tim Holtz-walnut stain. The adorable little tag and sentiment is from My Craft Spot called tiny tags. Super cute set!! I also used My Creative Time scallop and stitched circle die and added another cute sentiment from that adorable tiny tag set.

I am entering this in the following challenges:
1.) My Craft Spot ~Challenge #53-Things that go!
2.) Made Especially For You ~card using recycled material

Double Satin Bow Tutorial

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!

Happy Friday!!!  I hope you all enjoy your weekend. We have a busy one planned so not much crafting over the weekend:(  I will be playing catch up next week!

I have been asked my several blogger buddies about my double satin bows. There really is no trick to it.....I promise!   I did put together a quick tutorial on how I make them and hope it is easy for you to follow.

I use about 18"-20" of satin ribbon. I like to use satin ribbon as it seems to be the easiest for me when  making these double bows. (Crinkle ribbon works great to)

Start off by making a standard bow in the middle of the 18" or 20" ribbon.

Your bow looks something like this.....make sure it's tight.

I then lay my bow on a flat surface as I continue to make another bow over the top of the original one using the remaining ribbon.

Then you pull that tight as well and I just fuss with it a little. Moving it around gently so it doesn't come apart.  I try and get the top bow to lay the opposite direction from the first bow. Then trim of the end piece and voila.....easy peasy!

This is what it should look like:) Would love for you to give it a try.......can't wait to see your creations with your double bows! Have fun!

Thanks for stopping and for all your sweet comments on my bows:)

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!


Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday! I have a card to share with you that I made using the Lacy Labels cartridge. I cut the base of the card at 4.00 x 6.78 and welded the shapes together. The base layer is cut at 3.80 x 6.45 which I embossed using the polka dots folder. I then layered a paper doily, the bird and birdcage (which I embossed with the divine swirls folder) on that using dimensionals. The bird and birdcage is a Tim Holtz die.

 I distressed a lot of the pieces with Tim Holtz~Victorian velvet distressed ink. The sentiment-Best Wishes is from My Craft Spot ~Happily Ever After Set. I added a double satin bow, a charm from 7Gypsies and a pretty prima flower to finish it up.

I made a fun birthday card for my daughters friends little boy who has a birthday coming up. For my card base I used the Cars cartridge and cut it at 5".  I used my gypsy so that I could weld the shapes together. I embossed some of the layers with the polka dots folder. I added checked flags and adhered them between the layers for a fun look. The flags are cut at 2". I also added a fun little tag from My Craft Spot -tiny tags set. I love this set! It is the perfect size tag and has the cutest sayings.

Today, I want to share a card that I made using a stamp set that I won a few weeks ago from Wilson Designs Stamps. The set is called Scoot Away With Me. Here is my card:)

For the card base I used Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles along with the base layer which I pop dotted for dimension. I stamped the scooter and the girl on pretty pattern paper and trimmed around them along with distressing each piece with Tim Holtz~Victorian Velvet. I also added button on the wheels and a little bling for the headlight.

The tag is from Once Upon A Princess cartridge at 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 for the layer. The sentiment is also from this set too:) I added a double satin bow and 3 flowers that were cut from the Flower Shoppe cartridge. The flowers were cut at 1 3/4 and 2".  Thanks for looking:)

I usually never have it this bad. Yikes!  I am so far behind on things lately.....anyone else in my shoes??

I have a quick card that I made today for all my blogger buddies out there.....using the Slumber Party cartridge. The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and the base layer is 4 x 5 1/4 which I rounded the corners. I cut this cute bear plus the layers at 3.94 x 3.81 using my gypsy so I could hide the face features so I could use a fun Peachy Keen face stamp.

I embossed the bear with the tiny bubbles folder and added a little doodling and pop dotted the bear for dimension. The face is stamped using the Peachy Keen~Critter Faces set along with a layer of glossy accents.  I added a fun little ribbon and prima flowers to dress the bear up a little. The sentiment I used is from My Creative Time ~This & That set and that layer was also pop dotted for dimension.

I added a lacy trim piece to the flap to dress it up some.

The cute bunny was cut from the Create a Critter cartridge at 3.87 x 2.89 hiding the face features so I could use my Peachy Keen Stamps set~Cute &  Cuddly.  I added some fun grass using my Martha Stewart fringe scissors.

Happy Monday everyone!! Wow, can you believe it's April? I do love a few things about the month of April-warmer temperatures, Easter and my birthday (only the cake and celebrating though-not turning a year older, lol!)  How about you?

Well, it's another Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog today. The challenge is Egg-ceptional Easter- make a  project with an egg on it:)

For my project I used the Easter 2010 cartridge.  The Easter basket is cut at fit to page= 10 3/4. I used papers from We R Memory Keepers-Hippity Hoppity line. The cute little chick is cut at 3 1/2 and stamped a little face using the Peachy Keen-critter face set.  I thought I would add a little feather/flower to her to hoping to jazz this chick up!  The grass at 3 1/2 fit to length and the eggs at 3". I embossed some of the eggs using the divine swirls folder and then folded in half and adhered 2 together to make them 3 dimensional. This idea for the 3D eggs came my amazing and talented blogger buddies Lisa at A Mermaids Crafts. Check out her project Here -simply adorable!

I also made a small coordinating 3 x 3 card to go along with this little basket. I cut the scalloped circle from Spellbinders Nestibilities-Lacey circles. The little bunny is cut at 1 3/4 and the sentiment is from My Creative Time ~Color me Happy set.

I am also entering this in the following challenges:
1.)  Krafty Girls #4-For Peep's Sake!
2.) Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge ~Easter Blessings 

Thanks so much for visiting,

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!


I am super excited today as I was asked to be a Guest Designer over at Made Especially For You today. Thanks so much for having me-I am honored! The sponsor for today's challenge is Robyn Fetish.  I was given this adorable digi to create my project for this weeks challenge:) Isn't this just the cutest digi? To see more of Robyn's digi's go HERE.

The challenge is: Easter theme and use a digi:)
I used my copics to color in this adorable little bunny. I have to tell you.... I am new at this copic coloring and I am a bit nervous about posting my work. I am such a beginner at this..so don't laugh, hehe! I am not sure about it yet...I think I feel more comfortable with sticking to the cricut cutting and scratch the coloring, lol! I have to maybe consider taking some classes...what do you think?

My card base is cut from the Birthday Bash cartridge at 4.59 x 5.38 and the base layer at 4.11 x 4.64. The scalloped layer is from Quick Kutz eyelet circle dies and the image sized at 3.2 x 2.79. I added a cute little sentiment from My Creative Time ~Color Me Happy set and again the scalloped circle from Quick Kutz.  I added a little stitching and a big double gingham bow to finish the card.

Thanks so much again for having me!!! Be sure to pop over to Made Especially For You Challenge Blog to check out the amazing projects by the Design Team and join in the fun challenge!!!
