15th Birthday

One of the fun aspects that I love about being an artist is the freedom to create whatever you feel like!  I made this birthday card for my niece who is a huge fan of the anime Naruto, this is her favorite character Itachi. 

I designed all the elements in Adobe Illustrator, formatted to svg and uploaded to Cricut Design Space, I then cut everything with the Cricut.  

I added some shading to the figure with inks and created the background with different shades of distress oxide inks.

Thank you for your visit.

12th Birthday Card

Hi everyone, always fun to play with a different card design style, I found the perfect papers for this card in the Beary Fun Retreat collection from Heartfelt Creations (Retired), and used my Cricut to make the gaming screen, controller and letters.  Also got to use the Kiwi Lane templates to give it a more interesting design.

Disneyland's Fargo's Palm Parlor Building

Hi friends, I had some fun creating another paper sculpture, this is the Fargo’s Palm Parlor building at Disneyland’s Main Street.  

I illustrated the image in Adobe Illustrator and formatted to cut with the Cricut.  Some of the pieces are a bit too small for the Cricut to cut so I cut with a craft knife and scissors.   

Thank you for your visit.

Main Street Cinema Paper Sculpture

Hi friends, today I’m sharing another paper sculpture I designed.  I just love creating this pieces.  This one is based on the Main Street Cinema at Disneyland.  

I used several photos of the building as my inspiration, I start by doing a sketch of the building in Procreate to plan the layers and colors, once that is complete I draw everything in Adobe Illustrator.  After the file is complete in Illustrator I format and upload to Cricut Design Space to cut with the Cricut.

Once all pieces are cut I start drawing the details with color pencils and inks.  For this one I hand drew and colored all the brick.  The finished size is 7 1/2” wide by 7 1/2” tall.

Thank you for your visit.

Paradise Mickey Paper Sculpture

Hi friends, for the last couple of months I have been doing some illustrations with Adobe Illustrator, I had been wanting to learn how to create illustrations so I could have my Cricut cut all the images and then create dimensional paper sculptures.

I used the Aulani poster as my inspiration for this piece, and I finally finished it.  After lots of learning and trial and error, I got it done and I’m so happy with the final piece.   I used Adobe Illustrator to draw all the images, each color is a separate image I drew, once everything was drawn in illustrator and formatted I uploaded the file to Design Space and had the Cricut cut all the little pieces.  I used distress inks, Prismacolor color pencils and chalk pencils to add all the detail shading and highlights of the image.  It was a lot of fun assembling it and seeing it all come together.

Thank you for your visit.

Love You

Hi friends, sharing a Valentine’s Day card I made for my daughter.  I used this pretty heart patterned paper from Heartfelt Creations, this sheet is part of the Heartfelt Love collection, sadly this one has been retired already.  

I made Mickey and Minnie with the Cricut and the Foil Quil, I drew the image with gold foil and cut.

The tag I foiled with DeCoFoil transfer gel duo, gold foil and a Tim Holtz stencil, love the dimension the gel adds to the foiling.

The sentiment I cut with the Cricut.

I used the Cricut and foil Quil to foil the message.

Thank you for your visit.

Love

Hi everyone, sharing a Valentine's day card I made for my husband.  I used the Romantique Garden paper collection from Heartfelt Creations, sadly this collection has been retired, but I find that I love working with it for Valentine's themed projects.  I paired it with several Heartfelt dies and the Luxe Gold cardstock.

I used the Cricut and Foil Quill pen to foil the message in gold, love how it turned out.

Thank you for your visit.
