My Cricut Scrapbooking

Archive for the ‘Bind It All’ Category

I have been spending a lot of time on Tim Holtz’s blog and watching his demo videos here. I don’t think that I ever had made something for myself until now.  I made a Journey book.

These are most of the supplies that I used.

I used Grungepaper, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Popsicle, Cranberry Zing, Black Magic), Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick), Distress Crackle Paint (Tattered Rose), Sizzix Tim Holtz Die Tattered Flowers, Tim Holtz Philospy Tag, and pearl for the flower.  I also used two stamps from The Journey Tim Holtz collection.

The book is 6×6. I just cut 2 pieces of grungepaper 6×6, inked them and then covered them (front and back) with the crackle paint.  I used my heat tool to speed up the crackle process and then stamped the cover.  What is a book with out a little bling?  I used my Jolee Rhinestone tool and adhered Swarovski Crystals to the cover.

I love this flower!!!! I cut the grunge paper flower on my Big Shot Express and then sprayed each of the flower layers with the tattered angels glimmer mist and then let them dry over night.  They sparkle and shine and are so cute!

The paper, is a 5.00 pack that they sell at Wal-Mart.  I bound my book using the Cinch!  I am no Tim Holtz by any stretch of the imagination, but I did use the tools that he created and made just a little something of my own.

I am working on a few other things for breast cancer awareness month.  Here are a few things I have completed.

I said that I would make this word book for a member of one the Yahoo Groups that I belong to.  I totally spaced it out until I found my to do list the other day.

The svg and scut files are included in the zip file.  SCAL 1 and SCAL2 compatible.

I have been searching for a font for a wedding book.  I wanted it to be kind of fancy.  This is what I came up with.  Please let me know what you think.  I also added an alternate G page with the G closed off.  I could not decide, keep the space, loose the space.  You decide.

The SVG and Scut File are included in the download file.

This was the first wedding book I did last night.  It was not what I was looking for after I finished it, I wanted bolder letters I think.

Today I had a little bit of time to make something using my new Hannah Montana cricut cartridge.  I bought the Rock Star Stack from Joann’s when they had the DCWV paper on sale along time ago.  I bought the pad at Hobby Lobby.  They had a bunch of paper pad stacks for .99 each so I got a few different ones.  The pad is 4 inches by 6 1/4.  I created a rectangle in Design Studio using the Plantin Schoolbooks cartridge. I made it 4 1/2 by 7 1/2.  I cut 2 pieces of chipboard and 4 pieces of the DCWV stack with the rectangle.  I made the outside front and back the same color and the inside front and back the same color.  I ran the DCWV through the Xyron and attached it to the chipboard.  I cut the Rock and Star out of black cardstock from the paper company.  I ran them both through my xyron machine backwards and then sprinkled Martha Stewart Glitter on them.  The star is 2 pieces, I only put glitter on the top layer and then glued it to the base.  I used Zig 2 way glue pen to attach the rock and then foam mounted the star.  I attatched the pad using my Xyron Cheetah 2 glue runner.  Then used my Bind It All to put it together.  I think that it is a perfect “just because” gift for my 17 year old niece.
