Imaginisce!

I am so far behind in updating my CX DT assignments here...

so that's what I'm gonna do!

These are all projects that I did for the month of December, and I got to create with the new whimsical Twitterpated paper and embellishments from Imaginisce!

I have to admit, this isn't really a collection that I would normally gravitate to,

but I actually found them to be so fun and versatile to work with.

With these assignments I also had to focus on using my Cricut and Cuttlebug to aid me in creating fresh embellishments to work along with the Imaginisce.

So here's what I created...

Spring Day in the Park

Here are close up shots of the detail for the floral and butterfly embellishments I made using the Cricut "Storybook" cartridge. Storybook is my favorite... if you are a Cricut user and you have yet to get this one... it's a MUST, IMO! I used the "Textile" Cuttlebug embossing folder for these...

I also did two different cards for this assignment...

All Creatures Great & Small

This card was designed as a general "all occassions" themed card. Again I used my favorite, "Storybook" cart for the sweet owl scalloped frame.

So Mushroom In My Heart

I love the look of shaped cards, and this was so fun for me to create. I got the inspiration for creating this mushroom card from a sheet of mushroom patterned paper and mushroom chipboard stickers that are included in this Twitterpated collection. With the "So Mushroom" ("So Much Room"), I created a clever play on words for the card's sentiment.

I could not find a mushroom image in my Cricut collection of carts, so I improvised by finding other images that I could put together to create the mushroom design. A flower vase image transformed easily into a mushroom stem and the body of a ladybug was used to create the mushroom's cap. Both images were found on the "Walk In My Garden" cart, and both images had to be tweaked a bit, but it worked!

Well, it's now March already and it's almost Friday too... how time flies! Hope everyone has a great weekend! I think it's supposed to be sunny and warmer here, so it's all good ;) Enjoy!
