Monkey Business






Birthday Card time!  They are always my favorite kind of cards to make. (mostly because they always get used).  Here is what I did to make this one:  I stamped and heat embossed a sock monkey stamp from Stampin' up and then colored using a water brush and dye inks.  I used a copic multiliner pen in black to add the balloon strings, 'cause every balloon needs string to hang on to!  I added a couple eyelets and tied them with some polka-dot ribbon I had in my stash.  Then the card is finished by popping up the cupcake and balloon w/ 3-d dots.  The second picture is of the inside of the card, and the envelope!  Thanks for hosting another fun challenge Amy!

Boo! Book and the deep cut blade

Here is the CUT file for the BOO! Book. I used George and Paper Doll Dress Up cartridges. It is bound using the Bind-it-All. I made this project using the Cricut deep cut blade and housing. Wow! What a difference it makes. I was able to cut through really heavy chipboard, I think it was about 1/8 " thick. I had tried to cut through this material using the original blade housing and lots of multi-cutting, but with no success. The deep cut did make it through , but it took some learning. The blade housing has 11 depth settings rather than the usual 6. The numbers still say 1 - 6, but you can set it half way between the numbers also. Which means I had to figure out new pressure/blade depth settings. (I feel like I just finally got a handle on the old settings, LOL) I wish I could say it just sliced through like butter on the first try, but it didn't. My first cut came out terrible, I set the pressure at maximum and the blade depth at 6, and the machine stuttered, and...
