Lightly Used Cricut Imagine Bundle For Sale

Hi Everyone, As you can see I have been too busy lately to post anything. Such is life I guess. Because I no longer have the time to craft as much as I was before I have decided to let my Imagine go to a new home. I bought it new and it has been very lightly used. Along with it I have a cutting mat, both inks inside it are nearly full, I have brand new of each ink extra too, and 6 Cartridges. These are the cartridges; Imagine More Better Together Nursery Tails Enjoy the Seasons Snow Angel Bubblegum Stripes. The cartridges were linked to my Gypsy so they could not be linked to another one, however I never linked them to the Cricut Craft Room. I am asking for 300 plus shipping as I have at least 600 tied up in all of this. If you are interested please email me at cardcreationsbyc at gmail dot com Thanks, Christina

Get Well Card - Butterfly.

Here is another simple card I made. I love that pink ruffle ribbon I found a while back. I have so much ribbon oh my goodness! That's it for today. I got an iPhone so now I am doing most of my posting from it.

Two Birds in a Tree

Here is a sweet card I made using my Imagine. I recently got the gelly roll glaze Pens and I used the clear one over the birds eyes. It's very subtle. I also added some sparkle with my pink stardust gelly roll.

Sorry my blog was quiet this month. Instead of things slowing down after the craft fairs ended my husband almost died and we spent 9 days in another state with him in the hospital. Then we got home and everything has been hectic with dr apts and all. Just getting back to crafting.

With Prayers & Positive Thoughts

One more simple card I made this week using a print from my Imagine as well as the darker pink/red color. Not much to say about this one, was just making a few simple cards in between some house work.

Birthday Card - Flower Pattern

This is another simple card I made using my Imagine. This time I used it for this piece of patterned paper as well as the pink paper. The orange and teal were in my stash. This is a very simple design but I am really loving this cross pattern with the ribbon going both ways! Another thing I love about the Imagine is that when you are only printing a mat big enough for a card it scales the prints down so it looks nicer for a card.

Always Enjoy The Little Things

Here is another card that I made using my Imagine. I just used it for the printed paper, love this paper with the greens and peach. I used papers I had in my stash to go with it along with my Paisley embossing folder, then I inked it. I love this sentiment by Emma, this was my first time using it, but I can see that I will use it again and again...love how it is bigger than your average sentiment for the front of a card.

Birthday Card - Paisley Pattern

For this card I just used the Imagine for the Paisley patterned paper. It so happened I had the perfect shade of Peach in my PTI stash and then the tan paper on hand as well which went great with this. I love the soft muted colors of this particular print, and what I LOVE about my Imagine is that I cut a piece of this patterned paper only big enough for this one card...so no scraps sitting around at all. The other nice part is I can print this paper as much as I want forever. I love these colors together, a very simple card but catchy.

Two Twinkle Twinkle Baby Cards

Here are two totally adorable baby cards that I made using my new Formal Occasion cartridge. I have wanted this cartridge for MONTHS and held back on getting it. I love the little scenes in it and the carriage and such...but anyway, I was going to go purchase some Imagine Ink on sale for Black Friday when I realized that Cricut Rewards has each of them for 500 points, and I was lacking 70 points because I had used my large accumulation of points earlier in the spring so I ended up figuring it made more sense for me to go purchase this cartridge on sale for 24.99 and get the missing points, than to purchase the inks. So now I have the cart I have been wanting and I will use my points soon for free inks!!! Anyway back to my cards. I just took one of the little scenes and made it into a shape card. I embossed and used Perfect Pearls spray on the clouds. I outlined the moon with my Stardust pen and then did the stitch lines with it too. I did not care for the stars that cut with this, so I just punched my own out with two punches. I stuck a bow to a button to give it an added touch and added a little bling on my stars. Inside I wrote, "Congrats on Your New Addition". Love these cards.

Wishing You a Hoppy Day

Here is an adorable card that I made using my Imagine and my new Nursery Tails cartridge :). I love this cartridge, it is SO cute. I fell in love with this little Froggy right away and had to cut him first. I cut it in the layers and adhered everything, and I popped the frog up. I loved the print in his body so I pulled the same print out from the patterned paper and then the peach color from that. I actually made 4 of these cards, and it did not take long at all. The sentiment from Scrappy Moms was perfect for this little guy. I am sure I am going to use this frog many times in the future.

Two Owl Imagine Cards

Here is two more cards that I made using my Imagine. I do think this little owl is very cute, so I had to make a couple cards with him. This was also printed in textured paper, and I can tell a little difference, the textured white card stock seems to make for a more vibrant printing. I chose some colors that complimented my owl. The scallop and the circles were from the Imagine too and I printed them in colors to match. The blue paper was Recollections. I kept these cards very simple and just used brown ribbon just in case I need to use one for a man LOL. I think it can go for a man's card if need be.

I haven't yet started using my Gypsy and Imagine together, but I do have the Gypsy updated now with the Imagine Software.

Two Kite Imagine Cards

This was the first card that I made. I scraplifted the idea from my friend Sarah, although her card was a little different than this. I grabbed my sky shape from the ones loaded on the Imagine already. Love that feature. My clouds were with a Fiskars punch. The first card I kept very very simple and I felt like it lacked something...

So when I made the second card I added the other layer behind the sky which drew out more of the color from the Kite and then I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder and then used my blue gelly roll over the dots. I think this version of the card really pops!

I must be totally honest, I am not the hugest fan of the Imagine More cartridge, which is the one that comes with the machine, but I won 5 more cartridges on Ebay that are my favorites out, so I can't wait till they come next week and then I "imagine" my Imagine is going to be working overtime!

Birthday Card - Giraffe

Here is a cute birthday card I made for a kid...I used PTI codes on my Imagine for his colors. Simple and sweet, mostly just playing around really.

Two Birthday Cake Cards

Here are two birthday cards that I made using the adorable cake from Every Day Pop Up Cards. Such a cute cake. I embossed the frosting layer then put the sprinkles where it wasn't embossed. I used yellow stickles on the candles. Then the card came together easy, used some bright pink and teal and a subtle yellow patterned paper from Echo Park. I love the yellow Organdy Shear Ribbon. The cakes are on the Lacey Square from a Nestie.

3x3 Birthday Card

I have recently gotten into making 3x3 cards, mainly because of the cute ones Emma had been making. They are so simple to do and the nice part is you can use up some scraps too! I sold some of these at the Craft Fairs already for 1.00 each. I love love love pink and brown together! So sweet!

You may have noticed that I covered my white foam boards that I used for my photo station with this nice Charcoal colored felt. I love it. I don't get the shadows that I was and it is a nice dark neutral color to make my cards pop. I had the felt left over from making display boards for my cards for Craft Shows.

FIRST Imagine Card

Here is the first card that I made using my NEW IMAGINE. I was so excited to get it. Some of it was paid for with Craft Fair Money and some of it was paid for by myself as my reward for reaching a 50 pound milestone since mid May. I only used the Imagine for the patterned paper on this card, but it was so nice to print a paper just big enough for what I needed and it scales the pattern to size :). Love this paper, can see myself using it many times to come.

Hope you enjoy!

Gift Card Holders for Christmas

Here is a small sampling of the Gift Card Holders I have been making using Emma's die and a variety of stamps and papers. I made a bunch before my Craft Fairs earlier this month and every one of them sold, so I am making more for my final craft fair. these are so fun and easy to make and Emma's Die makes it so easy.

Halloween Hershey Bars

This was a special request order from a friend of mine who really loves Halloween. I had the best time decorating these Hershey Bars!!! The little ghosts, pumpkins and spiders were from K&Company. I love the black and purple ribbons that I got from M's.

Sympathy Cards

Here are two sympathy cards that I made earlier in the summer. I love these PTI shades of cardstock. Michael's doesn't have any colors like these. I love brown paper too, tend to use a ton of it. I embossed the design then inked right over it to give that brown pattern. Very simple and pretty. I used Nesties for the mats.

3 Lady Bug Cards

Here are three cute cards I made a couple months ago, every one of them is already gone, LOL. I got these cute Lady Bug stickers by EK Success for 1.00 at Wal-Mart and made 3 cards with them. This is the kind of thing I was doing earlier when I was still sore all the time from working out and didn't feel like messing around with my Cricut.

Still I think these cards are super cute and didn't take long at all to make them.

Stay tuned all week at 7 am EST, I have a post for you all :)

Episode 29: Haul November 12, 2011

Here is a little Haul Video for you all :). I got some fantastic deals today. Don't worry I will be back with more projects very soon, and I did get my Cricut Imagine! So excited.

On a side note, today has made 6 months since my Surgery in May for Acid Reflux and I am pleased to say I am still living a very healthy lifestyle, exercising and have lost 52.4 pounds since May 12th. I am finally feeling like it is all getting a little easier to maintain now so hopefully that means I will be having more time again for my blog and not feeling overwhelmed with things. It really does get easier as the months pass and things become a permanent habit.
