Cricut Imagine Blast Off Birthday Card...


Cricut Imagine More Cards Finished Card



Hallie finished the inside of the card using the Cricut Imagine Blast Off cartridge

Close Up Of the Cuttlebug Embossing

This is the base of the card and I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder Spots & Dots.

One of my very best friends since high school called me last night and asked if I could make her 3 year old grandson a birthday card. Of course I was happy to do this for her. Her grandson Trevor is turning 4 years old in a few days so today Hallie and I worked on this simple but adorable card. We decided to use the Cricut Imagine More Cards Cartridge. We wanted to use the "Hope Your Birthday's A Blast" image it is and on page 11 in the booklet. We worked on this so fast that we forgot to write down the measurements for you. I am so sorry about that. After we printed the "Hope Your Birthday's A Blast" image we took a photo of it and you can see that above. Then we took the colors brown and matching blue cardstock for the mat and card base. For the embossing on the brown cardstock we chose to use the Cuttlebug Spot's & Dots embossing folder. Hallie and I felt it worked well with this image. Then all we had to do was layer each piece and add some ribbon and that is basically it. We made this card a bit larger then I normally would only because he is turning 4 years old and I wanted him to have a bigger card for his special birthday. We took some ribbon that matched the blue's in the card and added a ribbon on the top left corner. That was Casey and Hallie's idea. Hallie wanted to decorate the inside of Trevor's card and she picked out these images from the Cricut Imagine Blast Off Cartridge. The rocket ship is found on page 41 and we used the same layers as in the booklet. Hallie also wanted the words to say "Happy Birthday" and the number "4" since Trevor is turning 4 years old. I can tell you that the letters are about 1" each and I cannot remember what size we used for the rocket ship. I used pop dots to add dimension to the main image on the front of the card and mono adhesive for the Happy Birthday letters, the Rocket Ship and the number 4 for the inside of the card. All of the card stock, ribbon and any other products used were from our stash. I hope Trevor loves his birthday card from his grandma.

So we just wanted to share this little quick and cute card for you today. This was our first Cricut Imagine Card we have made since I got it. I have to say that it is very simple to use. Although we have made little things here and there but never a card.

Hallie made a little box using the Cricut Imagine all by herself today. Tomorrow we will post photos of her project so you can see what she did. She is so proud of herself and I am very very proud of her. Hallie is only 11 years old and I believe that including your children and encouraging them to use their creativity is such an amazing and one of the most important gifts you can do for them. Anytime my kids are around while I am making something I always try to include them. Creativity is a beautiful thing and I always encourage them to be as creative as they can be.

 If you have any questions about this card or any other projects please leave me a comment with your email and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for visiting Two Pink Peas.

Casey's Homemade Circut Board with Help From Cricut Imagine...




Casey got to do a special project in science because he is advanced and wanted a challenge to do. So his teacher gave him a circut board project for extra credit. He got 2 letter grades for doing this. Basically what this is all about is 7 elements which include Lead, Copper, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Zinc and Chlorine. Casey had to take speaker wire, brads and christmas tree light bulbs and make the lights light up when you take a 9 volt battery and place them on the 2 brads next to each element. The christmas tree lights were placed in a hole under each of the 6 elements in the chart taped on the cardboard. Then he had to take the speaker wire and an soldering iron and attach the speaker wire to each of the brad ends and the christmas tree lights. He did not solder the christmas tree lights. The wire was just twisted around them. The point of this project is when you take a 9 volt battery and place it on each element's brad the chart will light up.  He had a great time making this with his dad. Since it was around Christmas time he wanted to print out a christmas tree on the Cricut Imagine. I am very proud of Casey for being so advanced and for asking his teacher to challenge him. Great job Casey!! I am very proud of you!! Big Cricut Hugs.. ~Terri

Supplies Used:

12 Gold Colored Brads
Speaker Wire
Clear Packing Tape
9 Volt Battery
Soldering Iron
Element Chart
Cardboard
Cricut Imagine for the Christmas Tree
