Jungle (Safari) Picture Frame

I am making some of these frames for my craft fair.  But a friend of mine told me that her neighbor was having a baby boy in the very near future.  The bedding for the room is Safari (Jungle) themed.  So I made this frame for her to give to the new parents.  I love the way it came out.

Wall Letter: E - Elise

Here's yet another wall letter.  This one is for a little girl that is 8 years old.  She likes soccer, dogs, & butterflies.  Her room is a peachy color.  This is the letter that I came up with to represent her.  Sorry the pic doesn't show some of the detail.  I used water colors to tint the flowers & give them some shading & dimension.  I also added some Glossy Accents and MS Fine Crystal Glitter to the edges of the flowers to make them look dewey & sparkle.  Also the eyes on the dogs are glossy too (the dalmatian's don't even show up in the pic).

Details:

Cartridges Used:  Accent Essentials & George & Basic Shapes (Flowers), George & Basic Shapes (Name), Everyday Paper Dolls (Grass & Brown Dog), Create A Critter (Dalmatian & Butterflies), & Sports Mania (Soccer Ball)

Camera Photo Album & Fleur De Lis Candle Bowl

A very good friend of ours was having some visitors in from out of town.  It was their first visit to see them & to our city.  She had asked me to make something for them as a memento.  For the mother she wanted to give her one of my candle dishes that I etched with fleur-de-lis.  I used the fleur-de-lis on the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge.

The daughter likes to take a lot of pictures.  So I figured I would make a photo album.  It had 10 pages (front & back) that I made out of water color paper and painted with acrylic paints.  I then painted cardstock and adhered it to the pages, so that it added room for at least 3 pics per page.  The front & back covers were made from corrugated cardboard that I cut up from a box.  I painted each of these with white Gesso & then acrylic paints.

The pages & covers are 5x7.  The cardstock is 4.5 x 12 & folded so that each part of the cardstock can fit a 4x6 picture or journaling if she wishes.

I cut the camera pieces & painted them with acrylic paint as well.  I added her initials & a fleur de lis as a symbol of our city.  I used heat embossing with UTEE on the fleur de lis to make it glossy & to add dimension.

 

Cartridges Used:  Create A Critter (Camera), Accent Essentials (Fleur de lis), Cuttin' Up (Initials), George & Basic Shapes (Background Rectangle for the initials)
All pieces of the camera were cut from water color paper & painted with acrylic paint.  After assembling the camera, I sealed it with Krylon Preserve It.  I then added the fleur de lis that was heat embossed with UTEE to add dimension & shine.

Wall Letters - Jenna & Alyssa

My best friend from high school had seen some of my wall letters & called to see if I could make some for her. She wanted to give them to her nieces for their birthdays.
I used my Gypsy and Cricut to design & create these letters.
Jenna is 5 years old, likes animals and the color blue. This is the letter that I designed for her.
The cartridges I used to make Jenna's letter are: Cuttin' Up (Name), Create A Critter (Poodle, Bird, & Monkey w/ Vine), & Animal Kingdom (Cat). I pop-dotted the wing on the bird & the head on the cat to give some dimension. As always I inked the cuts for some dimension & design.

Alyssa is 4years old and likes pink and butterflies.

I used my Gypsy and Cricut to design & create these letters.

The cartridges I used to make Alyssa's letter are: Ashlyn's Alphabet (Name), A Child's Year (Fairy), Designer's Calendar (Butterfly - I cut it out 4 times, cut the pieces apart, colored them all, & pieced them all together with their different layers.), George & Basic Shapes and Accent Essentials (Paper Roses - HERE is my post about them.) I made a template for the flourishes on the base of the letter, but I can't remember which cart they came from. I used it as a stencil, drew on the flourishes, made my own glitter glue and painted over my markings with the glitter glue.
