First, you’ve got to hover over the photo above. Whew. Now you can’t get Wild Thing out of your head either! Sorry. That was sorta mean….I wanna know for sure…my apologies, I broke into song again. Well, if you can stop singing long enough to read this post I’ll tell you about this card. I used the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge to make the whole thing. Do you know the trick about using the Wild Card cartridge? You should cut the envelope first using the “fit to page” button. Write down the size it uses for the envelope and then make the rest of your cuts that size. I used the “Argyle” icon images from page 33 of the Wild Card cartridge. The Father’s Day sentiment came from page 66 using the “Phrase” button. There isn’t a shadow for “Father’s Day” so I made 2 cuts that were the same size and set the top one off to the side a bit. I made this card without Design Studio and before the Gypsy came out. Now it’s much easier to make shadows. I also could have cut the sentiment a little bit bigger for a shadow effect. I went Cuttlebug folder crazy on this card. I used Spots and Dots, Swiss Dots and Argyle (keeping a theme using an argyle cut and folder, LOL). Have you seen my Beer and Wings Father’s Day Card that I made DH last year? Check THAT out! Need help with the sizes on the Wild Card Cartridge? Click HERE for a Cutting Guide for the Expression.

Posted by superjoy on June 17th, 2010 in Cricut Cartridges Yep, yep, you heard right 4 new Cricut carts have been announced. 1 is a full cartridge and 3 are seasonal. Let’s get to it!!

Just LOOK at that bird with the pacifier and the blanket. Oh my Goodness. Soooo CUTE! 3Birds on Parade Available in July Alright. What else ya got lined up for us Provo Craft? Huh?

You can see the whole list of Discontinued Cartridges HERE. 8 Comments Father’s Day Photo Project – “DAD” Letter Pictures Framed Posted by superjoy on June 17th, 2010 in Home Decoration, How to, crafting All my kids have hearts for heads. It’s easy to find them in a crowd. I did this project last year and I just LOVE the way it turned out! The hardest thing about it is getting your kids to sit for the photo. Now, we could talk a long time about the horrors and comedy of that, but let’s imagine (meaning suspend all fact) that the photo taking goes off without a hitch (and pigs fly, right?). Well, if that part can get worked out, the rest is easy! Baby #1. Alrighty!! There are a ton of ways to achieve this “DAD” photo and I’ll offer those suggestions at the end of the post after I tell you how I made this one. I bought the CHEAPEST wooden “D” and “A” I could find, which meant thin and unpainted. I don’t know why I did that, but at the time I was SURE I had white paint at home and could save some pennies doing this myself. I was pretty WRONG. I had a little bit of paint at home, but it wasn’t enough to fully cover the letters. So, what we now have are some letters we will call “shabby chic”. Basically, the letters look shabby and the kids make them chic. (Kids, look at that compliment!! Now go do some laundry for me.) Heart Head Baby #2 Awww, my oldest boy gets his very own letter! LOL! The other 2 shared the “D”. That’s right! If you’re going to be cheap be VERY cheap. I bought one D and #1 baby and #3 baby shared it. DON’T DO THIS if you’re going to take a group shot…unless the kids call their father “DA”. Then you’re cool. PHOTO TAKING … I took the first photo with Super Daughter on top of the swingset. Photo #2 is part of our front porch. Yes, I’m so totally Southern, with rockers included. Wait until you see photo #3. I have some explaining to do. Overall, I’m suggesting you take photos you’re comfortable with. There was no reason for me to dress the kids up in their Sunday best and take some serious photos. DH would like it, but it just wouldn’t be us. I like these fun shots from different parts of our yard and home. You do what you like! Hey, we’ve seen that “D” before! Yep, Baby #1 was Holding it! Poor Baby #3. He even gets a hand-me-down “D”. LOL! WHAT is Baby #3 wearing, you ask? Hmmm…uh…his pajamas. Why didn’t You Make him change, you ask? It’s the middle of the day of course I MADE him change! Yeah, before this photo was taken his pajama pants didn’t match his pajama shirt. So, I made him change into MATCHING pajamas. I mean REALLY, what kind of a Mother do you think I am? THE PAJAMAS…Baby #3 loves pajamas. I could have made him change into shorts and a shirt, but why? I’d rather look back at this photo and say remember how baby #3 always wanted to stay in his pajamas? That’s something I now find charming…’cause I’m gettin’ old and baby #1 is driving. You get to a point where you cherish the things you think you’ll always remember…because you realize…you sometimes do forget the little things after a while. Sniff. Sniff. So, I say let them wear their favorite stuff. Take pictures that are relevant to your life. Go YOU! My Imperfect “D” You can find the letters at your local craft stores. Look in the wood working areas. My Imperfect “A” These letters worked fine no matter how they looked. You know what? You can even repaint them and use them again! You could cover them with paper. You could do all kinds of cool painting on them. Make it your own!! MORE IDEAS: BE CHEAP: Cut out letters using a cereal box (for stability) and cover with paper or a Sharpie. Buy the unpainted “D” and “A” and color them yourself, they’re cheaper…if you already own paint. Want to save time? Buy the already painted and finished letters. You can take each photo, line them up and have them printed as one sheet. That way you don’t need a 3 mat frame. This also works if you want to spell something longer, like “Father”, “Grandpa”, “Poppy” or something like that. If you want all your kids to be in one photo, you can’t get away with only buying “D” and “A”, unless they call him “DA”. Save your letters and do this again next year!! The kids age progression with the letters will be beautiful. Ok, let me cry now. I can’t believe how big my babies are getting. Sniff. Sniff. HAVE FUN!! WHATEVER YOU MAKE WITH PHOTOS OF YOUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, NIECES, NEPHEWS, COUSINS, ETC… CAN’T HELP BUT BE BEAUTIFUL!! BE BOLD!!!

Isn’t this just the sweetest card? It makes me want to take a nature walk. Super Sweet work Jana!! A Note from Super Jana and How She Made this Card: Hello Everyone, I’m so honored to be a part of Joy’s life featured designers for her “Lots of Pun” stamp set. This card was cut at 8.5 x 11 and scored at 4.25 to make a standard A2 card. I added two layers. The first in Stampin’ Up chocolate brown cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8. The top layer was cut at 5.25 x 3 7/8. Sorry I don’t have the name of the green paper, it was in my stash. Using the Cricut Create a Critter cartridge, I cut the tree at 3 inches out of Stampin’ Up green galore and gable green card stock. The deer were cut at 1.5 inches also cut from unknown card stock. I outlined the tree and deer in Jelly-roll star pens too add some interest. I used pop dots to add some dimensions to both the deer and trees. The double bow is made with fine twine. I finished the front with the Furever Friend stamp from Joy’s “Lots of Pun” stamp set. I also finished the inside of the card using the same paper as the layers on the front, only in reverse order. You can visit Jana at her blog HERE. Thank You Jana!! That Card is so “Deer” to me!! 8 Comments SuperJoy Loves SuperFriends Monthly Give-A-Way!! Posted by superjoy on June 14th, 2010 in Give a Ways, SJ Loves SF Day SuperJoy!! Ok, everybody!!

Your project is great and I really LOVE watching your videos! I am so happy that I found you at the end of the school year so I can have lots of time to “play” on your website! 2nd graders are done learning from me and I’m ready to learn some new craft techniques from you! Yay! CONGRATULATIONS SCRAPHAPPYGIRL!! 179 Comments Next Page » --> - 4d815abc41c572b8ecb515d7ef3c0200b5fd57a6e7933c9c38058190f236f69c
