My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 90 Ice Cream Cone / Dish

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Did you know that July is National Ice Cream month! Of course, ice cream is good any month! I am the hostess for this challenge and thought we could have fun with this cold, yummy treat! Our challenge is to use an ice cream cone or dish of ice cream on your card, layout, or 3D project!

My ice cream cone is made using Cricut Project Cartridge Sweet Tooth Boxes. This is one of the fun images on the cartridge that caught my eye and I just had to buy it several months ago. Would you believe this is my first time to try the ice cream cone! The ice cream cone is the second image on each row. For best results, the instructions are to cut the images at 9.5" or larger. I used 9.5" and the finished cone stands about 7.5".

Designer paper is Basic Grey Eva Collection pack that I have been hoarding for a long time! I think the paper is too pretty to cut but I did it!

Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Hearts design B is used on the pink ice cream.

Just Rite Stamps- Be Happy Set. Sentiment is stamped with green Martha Stewart ink. Pink trim is from design team sister, Charlotte. I am loving these trims! Green flower is Prima Flowers. Buttons are from the Eva Collection and the green and pink bows are DMC Memory Thread. There is a cut for a cherry to be placed on top of the cone, but I chose to use the button and bow.

I cut the Cone Layer 3 which is the white circle with the opening that is seen in the above photo. For a special treat, a cupcake can be set inside the opening. I had difficulty trying to get a good photo. My cupcake seemed a bit small for the opening and the chocolate curls started melting. After this one photo, I decided that I needed to eat the cupcake! It was yummy -bought from Wal-Mart bakery. Now I will have to add candy inside the cone!

Be sure to stop by My Sheri Crafts and see the lovely projects by our guest designer and the talented design team. For more information about the projects, please visit the individual blogs. We appreciate your visits and comments on our blogs!

Valentine Sweets Store

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Surprise! I have a project to share with you today that is not a card!

I recently bought the Cricut Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge and immediately knew which would be my first project to try. I had so much fun being a paper carpenter and I am really pleased with my results. Designer double-sided patterned papers are from K&Company Kelly Panacci Valentine Pad that was bought last Valentine. For the house, I chose the pretty little hearts paper. I was working with the Cricut Craft Room and No 4 Store on page 26. I noticed the handbook shows the store image is the third cut on top line, but it is marked incorrectly. The store is actually the fourth key on the keypad. Cuts were at 10".

To make the store you must cut the main image twice and then there are four layer cuts which have several different pieces. On one layer cut, I used the hide contour feature and separated the images so I could use different papers for some of the images.

I used the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder on the white door facing.  Do you like the pink polka dot door!  The heart on the door is hand cut from one of the pieces of designer paper.

Here is a view of the back of the store building. I love the little window. I run the white paper through the Distressed Stripes folder also. The flower pot and flower cuts are on one of the layer cuts. I added some Recollections Floral Embellishments flowers. On some of the flowers, I added two layers of flowers, a yellow button and some pop-dots for dimension.

This is a side view of the little store. I thought the pretty striped paper would be good for the roof - actually reminds me of a storefront awning!  The Sweets signpost was a little taller than I wanted--it went up in the awning so I cut some of pole off. For an extra spash of Valentine look, I added a ribbon bow from ribbon that was in my stash!

I cut the word Sweets twice and placed the word on each side of the sign. A piece of Cricut cartridge packaging was cut and glued inside the windows.

Hope you enjoy my little house of love! I will  place some candy in it and use it for a Valentine party  decoration!
