My Cricut Craft Room - Theme Day Thursday

Today is Thursday which means we are one day closer to Friday...Wahoo!

Today is also my Hubby's Birthday...Yay, I love you baby!

Today at My Cricut Craft Room is Theme Day Thursday and with that we got to use A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge.  I LOVE this cartridge full of fun sillouhettes.

This card is pretty simple, but I really like how it turned out. 

This week I based my cut off of my sentiment and this cut is just perfect.

The sentiment is from Pink By Design's Simply Everything stamp set.

Cricut Cut:

A Child's Year: Button 11, cut at 3.75

To finish up my card I used Divine Twine as the fishing line.

I also added Stickles to the pond and grass that the little boy is sitting on.

Would you Guess Wednesday - Card Feature

Today at My Cricut Craft Room is Would You Guess Wednesday. 

What does that mean you ask?

Well Erica from My Cricut Craft Room challenges the design team to use only the Feature Keys on the Cricut Cartridges.  We can also use a Cricut Cake Cartridge for a paper project. 

For my card today I did both. 

Our main task today was to use a Card Feature.

The card feature that I chose can be found on A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge.

Button 26, cut at 5.5.  I used the same cut for the matt,  I then flipped the cut and hid the score lines with my Gypsy.  One of my many favorite features on the Gypsy.

The bunch of flowers are from the Martha Stewart Holiday Cakes Cricut Cartridge.

Button 3, cut at 3.5 with the Shift layer.

To finish off my card I added some ribbon and stamped my Thanks a Bunch sentiment, which is from My Creative Time's Many Greetings.

Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to check out the other wonderful projects created today.

My Cricut Craft Room - Icon Feature

Happy Wednesday,

We made it through half of the week...wahoo!  Today on My Cricut Craft Room we were asked to use the Icon Feature from any Cricut Cartridge.  The Cricut Cartridge I chose to use is A Child's Year...the hearts are from the Icon Feature <Shift> Button 3 on the overlay, cut at 1.5.  I welded three hearts together using my Gypsy and then I cut one more heart using the purple pattern and pop dotted the middle heart.  The oval scallop was cut using the Monogram Feature, Button 42, cut at 3.7.

Supplies:

Paper: DCWV The All About Girls Cardstock Stack 4.5x6.5

My Cricut Craft Room - Would you guess Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween.  Can you believe it is already November?  I sure can't.  Before we know it, it will be Christmas.  So exciting!  Anywho on to my creation today.  Today is my favorite day to design at My Cricut Craft Room as it challenges me to think outside of the main buttons on the cartridges. :)  This day the Design Team is challenged to use any Feature Image on any cartridge of our choosing...we are not supposed to use the main image.  I have found some amazing images and I am always looking at the extra features now. :)

Using my Gypsy I found the base card using the card feature on A Child's Year, Button 21 on the overlay, cut at 5.5 so it will fit in a standard A2 size envelope.  The flower image can be found on Straight from the Nest in the border feature, button 14 on the overlay, cut at 2.65.  Then press shift and the same button to cut the flower petals.  I finished off my card with some rhinestones, ribbon, and of course stickles.  My sentiment on the bottom right is from My Creative Time - Many Greetings.  This is a must have stamp set in my opinion.  Love it!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have been inspired to look at those feature keys. :)  Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to see what the other wonderful Design Team members created today.

My Cricut Craft Room - Scrapbook Saturday

Happy Saturday!

Today I am featured on My Cricut Craft Room for Scrapbook Saturday.  This has been great signing up for this day as it is making me focus on getting my Wedding Scrapbook started.  I have a ton of pages to do and the plan is to posti two page layouts on Scrapbook Saturday’s until this is finished, so thank you for joining me on this journey of remembering such a wonderful day in my life.  I want to keep my pages simple as the pictures mostly speak for themselves. 

On the first page I used A Child’s Year Font Feature and welded the letter’s together.  Welding is my favorite and most used feature on my Gypsy.  I love the Bling on my dress and wanted to add a pretty Bling embellishment on my page.   The second page is of my girls helping me get beautified in my gown.  I love these girls!  The cricut cut on this page is from Sweathearts button 46 on the overlay, cut at 1.5”

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday Crafty Friends,

Today is My Imagine-ation Monday at My Cricut Craft Room.  Today's creation was made for my Boo at work.  What is a Boo?  Every year at the office we pick a name and we get to surpirse our Boo with a special treat.  My Boo this year has two little boys, so I wanted to make them a special treat as well. 

The door hanger is from Close To My Heart Art Philosophy. 

The cut can be found using the Decorative Font Feature Button <Shift>, button 5, Fit to page.

Count and Frank are found on Mini Monsters and Flood filled with patterns from Imagine More.

Count is button 7 and Frank is button 17

The cuts and layers are sized at 2.8 Rel

The boys names were welded together using my Gypsy.

The letters are sized at 1"

I am really happy with how these little guys turned out and I can't wait to surprise my Boo with these treats.

Now head on over to Erica at My Cricut Craft Room to see what else has been created by the wonderful DT.

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Happy Sunday Crafters,

I made this card for My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge.

*** This challenge is to use an older cartridge with a "Card Feature" on it! There are  LOTS of cartridges out there today that have "card features" on them! Here are a "few" examples, Life is a Beach, Stretch your Imagination, A Child's Year, Wrap it up...... ETC..

***Your card MUST BE A HALLOWEEN THEME!!!

 

For my card base I used A Child's Year 11x4.25 using the Gypsy. 

Then my other cuts are from Mini Monsters. 

 The hat and it's layers are cut at 3.25 and the phrase was cut at 2.75.

 

Hope you like my creation!

My Cricut Craft Room 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

Happy Saturday...I hope everyone is having a great start to this Labor Day Weekend.

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop...this is my first time participating in a blog hop so I am super excited.  You should have come from Jen R if not please start at the begining http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/  if not please start at the beginning. 

On this Blog Hop you will see 100 different Cricut Cartridges used.

For my first creation today I made a 5.5x5.5 card using Hello Kitty Greetings, Storybook and Better Together (Imagine cartridge).  The cuts are as follows:

• Hello Kitty Greetings (Page 39 cut at 4.5).  I flood filled Hello Kitty's dress and bow layer with a pattern from Better Together (Page 42) and the ballon layers were flood filled with coordinating colors in the Better Together Color Palette.  I then embossed these with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. 
• Storybook (Page 75 - Function Key - Accent Frame - Shift - cut at 5")  This shape was flood filled with the pattern from Better together (page 38). 
• Storybook (Page 71 - Function Key - Accent Blackout - cut at 1.5 x 2) and I stamped my sentiment in that shape (the sentiment is from My Creative Time Stamps - Many Greetings).  I then cut this same shape at 4.5 x 2.5 to go on the inside of my card.  I added some stitching and all done.

Now for Mini Monsters.  One of my Besties asked me to help her decorate for her son's third birthday party and he wanted a Monster theme.  This was perfect because I just got Mini Monsters and I couldn't wait to use it.  I made a couple projects to help decorate for the birthday party.



Mini Monsters Birthday Banner
All of the monsters for the banner were cut at 8" and the letters are from A Child's Year cut at 3.31".  On the Gypsy I used the Hide Countour feature so the eyes wouldn' cut so I could use googly eyes.  I then attached the monsters to 2.5" Celbrate It Basic Ribbon that says Happy Birthday.  They were attached to the side without the words and then the ribbon was flipped so you can see the Happy Birthday on the ends.

Mini Monsters Goodie Bags
 The orange/green goodie bag was cut at 5.71"...this size I was able to cut two monsters on the mat.  The blue/orange goodie bag was cut at 6.18"...this size only allowed one monster per mat because of the handles.

Birthday boy Landon biting the monster's toe...Isn't this cake absolutely adorable.  This cake was made by Landon's mommy.  I striclty create with paper. LOL  The little monster is tired after his party. :)

Thank you for stopping by along the hop.  Next stop is the lovely and talented Laura.
