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. :)

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

 

It's Monday...I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.  For today's My Imagine-ation Monday at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ I created an A2 size card. An A2 card measures at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  For my card today I used the Nursery Tails Imagine Cartridge.  The first cut I did is from the stock images that come pre installed in the Imagine.  It is a scallop circle and I flood filled it with the pattern from page 42.  This was cut at 4.2" and I inked the edges.  I then wrapped it around my card so half of the image is on the front and the other half is on the back.  Then I chose the Mushroom from page 11.  This is cut at 4.0 combined...then I chose layers and selected just the Butterfly and Dragonfly at 4.0" Rel.  I attached these to the combined image and folded up the wings to create some dimension.  To finish up my card I doodled around the edges, Stickled, and added my sentiment which is from My Pink Stamper - Fabulous Phrases.

Supplies:

Imagine Cricut Cartridge - Nursery Tails

Paper - Bazzil Cardstock (White), Kraft Cardstock

My Pink Stamper Stamps - Fabulous Phrases

Color Box Ink - Old Rose, Magenta

Stickles - Star Dust

Pen - Zig Memory System (Pure Pink)

Adhesive - ATF, Zig 2way glue pen

Cricut Cardz Challenge #89

I haven't done the last couple challenges at Cricut Cardz, but I  wanted to do this one because I just got Create A Critter and I couldn't wait to use it. :)

The challenge for this week is "It's a Jungle Out There!" Make a child’s birthday card using something you’d see in a jungle…monkey, lion, tiger, giraffe, zebra, hippo, etc, and any cartridges or colors you’d like.

I used Kraft Cardstock for my 4.5x4.5 card base.  The background paper was from my scraps cut at 4.25x4.25 and embossed using Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl.  The Giraffe is from page 48 cut at 4"...and the Hello is from the same page using the Phrase function button cut at 1.7" using the Imagine.  Both the Giraffe and the Hello phrase were flood filled with patterns from Imagine More.  They were attached to the card with pop dots. 

Supplies:
Kraft Cardstock, Bazzil Cardstock (White)
Cricut Cartridges: Create a Critter, Imagine More
Ribbon: Celebrate It (Brown)
Recollections foam adhesive squares

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy crafting,

My Cricut Craft Room - Would you guess Wednesdays

Happy Wednesday,

We are half way through the week.  Yay!  Today I created this 5x5 card using the Storybook Cricut Cartridge.  This cartridge has a lovely font, but it also has some great Function Keys which is what we DT members focus on for Would you guess Wednesdays at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/. 

My cuts today are from page 47 of the handbook.  I first selected the Accent/Frame Function key and pressed shift and this was cut at 3.75.  Then from the same page I selected the Shorty/Holes Function key and pressed shift for this cut as well...this was cut at 2.34.  I used my Gypsy so I was able to place the flower over the frame and used the sizing arrow until it layered perfectly.  I then stringed some ribbon I had from my stash through the holes on the frame, popped up my flower with some foam adhesive squares, doodled, and added some stickles for some bling and ended up with this super simple yet elegant card.

Supplies:
Cricut Cartrdige:  Storybook
Paper:  DCWV Lemon Flower Stack (I am loving this stack!)
Stickles: 
Recollections Foam Adhesive Square
Sakura Gelly Roll Pen:  White

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today. 

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Love is a Journey

Happy Monday,

It is time for another My Imagine-ation Monday over at My Cricut Craft Room.  Today I created an A2 card for my Anniversary, which is coming up in September.  This year my wonderful hubby and I will be celebrating 3 years of wedded bliss.  My hubby is my best friend and I am so blessed to share my life with him.  It has been a wonderful journey thus far. :)

Now on to my card - I used two images from the Imagine More Cartridge.

*The first cut is from page 18.  I used the base image and changed the pattern to the pattern on page 36.  (when I chose this pattern I didn't realize it included the alphabet so I covered that with a thin red ribbon that i had in my stash.)  I then took the first layer and changed the pattern to the pattern on page 39.  These were both cut at 5" (Rel).  I layered this a bit different then the booklet shows

*The second image used is on page 12.  I chose layers and just cut the Eiffel Tower at 4" (True) and the Journey sentiment at 5" (Rel).

I inked the edges and added some foam adhesive squares to add some dimension. 

Supplies:

Cricut Cartridge - Imagine More

Paper - White Bazzil cardstock, Textured Value Pack Ice Cream Social (from Joann), DCWV - Lemon Flower Stack

Close to My Heart Ink - Desert Sand and Black

Stamps - My Creative Time (Many Greetings)

Adhesive - Recollections Foam Adhesive Squares, ATG
