iPad Geeky Snow White Decal

It was my birthday last week and my parents, very kindly, brought me an iPad! I brought myself a Samsung tablet 2 years ago (on my birthday, an exdisplay from John Lewis) just so I could go online without getting my laptop out, however after getting the Cricut Explore I really wanted an iPad so I could use the Cricut App which only works with iPads, not Android.

Since getting my iPad I've loved being able to play around on the Cricut app, finding all the images I have in my subscription easily and also being able to do it away from the study/craft room. I've also got a Pay As You Go sim for my iPad so that I can design cards etc on the go.

One of the first things I did when I got my iPad was set up a Pinterest board on vinyl decals, but in fact I went with a decal I have wanted for years (over 7 years or more) when I had my iMac. It was a nerdy Snow White but at the time I could only get it from America and it was so expensive I went for a different design, but now I can cut my own Vinyl in the Cricut Explore I made my own. I'm so please with how it turned out! I've now put a case on my iPad but I brought a clear back one so the image is still visible (I would have a similar decal on my phone but as I always drop it on the floor, down the loo etc I have a really rugged case which completely covers it)

My friend at work has asked me if I can make something similar with a geeky Ariel (Little Mermaid) which I'm going to try (ie putting some glasses on Ariel)

Another good thing about an iPad is that I can blog so much easier! Hurray!

Snow White Anniversary Card

Today is my third wedding anniversary and I spent Friday making this card for my husband. I say 'I spent Friday' as it took virtually all day due to a fault in our phone/internet line so I kept loosing internet while cutting the lattice and having to start again. I also had some teething problems using my new iPad with the Cricut Explore.

I made this card based on the ribbon that we had at our wedding which said 'and they lived happily ever after' and the fact my wedding dress had a jacket with a neck like Snow Whites dress.

The lattice was from Cricut Paper Lace which I made into the sides of the card. As I was using Centura Pearl card I had to use the glitter card setting which cuts twice (or it doesn't cut through) so it took ages. This was the 4th attempt due to my internet problems and even then I ended up having to hand cut some sections 

The Snow White and Prince silhouettes were found online via Google. 

Inside I used my Cricut Antiquity pens  and added this verse from Cricut Design Space:

I'm really pleased with how this turned out in the end. 

Chi Chi Memories - Princess Snowy

This is my first post as a Guest DT for Chi Chi Memories and it's ever so fitting that the first digi I received (while I was on holiday in Florida) was Princess Snowy! I love Snow White and fell in love with this digi.

 

She can be brought by going to the Chi Chi Memories Designs website 

I took a A5 card and covered the front in some scrapbooking paper from The Haute Pink Stack by DCWV. I printed Snowy onto some card and coloured her using Spectrum Noirs (Hair IG1, 4, 6, 8 and 10; Dress TB2, TB3, CT3, CT4, CR11; Skin FS2 & FS3) and then cut her out with my EK Success Circle Cutter as well as cutting out some mirri card a bit bigger to layer onto. I used distress ink in peacock feathers around Snowy to give it a bit more colour. I printed my own sentiment out and used pickled raspberry distress ink. To finish I added some little wooden butterflies I had in my craft stash and (although it's hard to see) I did little glitter butterfly trails behind each butterfly with a sakura glitter pen.

I hope you like it! I think I'm going to use Snowy again in my scrapbook for my holiday (once I get all my photos delivered).

Snow White Card

Here's a card I made today using my Tilda stamp, mirror card and backing papers from Kate Knight's Handmade Cards magazine.

My Snow White Stamp Arrived!

While looking in the In2Crafting blog I saw a few years ago someone made a snow white card with a really cute stamp and I went on the hunt to find one myself!

This morning a parcel from Norway arrived and I've been stamping and colouring ever since!

How cool is this stamp!
