Follow your Rainbow

 

I am entering this card into the Ink it Pink Challenge by Pink By Design.

This weeks theme was a Rainbow Challenge.

 

I made a shaped Rainbow card using the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge.

I just love this cartridge.

I selected the Card Feature Button on my Gypsy and cut the card base at 11.5w x 3.71h.

I then selected all of the layers and cut them at 4.7w x 3.67 h.

I wanted a little bit of a frame on the inside of the card so I cut it a bit smaller.

 

To finish off my card I embossed the rainbow with the Swiss Dots Cuddlebug Folder, glued the Divine Twine (I got from the Pink by Design store), and stamped my sweet sentiment from

Pink by Design's Simply Everything stamp set.

 

I love how it turned out and how perfect the sentiment works with my card.

 

I am also entering this in The Paper Girls Challenge (Use Twine)

and The Pink Cricut's Link up Tuesday

Happy Monday!

I spent most of mine in my craft room so it was a very fun weekend for me. :)

Today is My Cricut Craft Rooms My Imagine-ation Monday.  I just love my Imagine...today I used Hello Kitty Greetings and Better Together Imagine Cartridge. 

 One of my favorite features on the Imagine is flood filling images from other cartridges with an Imagine pattern.  This is what I've done for today's card.

This image was flood filled with the pattern from Better Together, page 36.

Feture Button Clothes Layer's, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

Flood filled with the light yellow that comes with the Better Together Color Palette.

Feature Button Sillohette, Button 9, cut at 5.0 Rel.

Flood filled with the darker yellow that comes with the Better Together Color Palette.

To finish up my card I used pop dots to pop the sun's face and added googley eyes.

I also attached Lemon Divine Twine

 and of course some Stickles (don't remember which ones exactly)

Here is the inside of my card. 

The seintiment is from Pink By Design's Take the Cake.

It says "Hope your day is filled with sunshine & smiles."

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.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #86

This week's challenge is "Tuitti Fruitti"! Make a card using fruit, and you may use any cartridges, colors or occasion you'd like.

For my project this challenge I used my Gypsy and three Cartridges:  Hello Kitty Greetings, Wild Card, and Imagine More Cards.  All of the paper that was used was One and a half sheets of Bazzill White Paper...Awesome!

On the Wild Card cartridge I used the Blackout Feature and selected the second button on the overlay.  I selected this twice flood filling one with the Green Polka Dot pattern and a solid green color both from Imagine More Cards cut at 5".  Then on the Hello Kitty Greeting Cart I used the Card, Clothes and Silhouette features on page 31 cut at 3.2" Rel.  These were also flood filled with patterns from Imagine More Cards except for the Silhouette as I just kept that white.  I wrapped my Cherry Card around the Wild Card card base so there are Cherry's on both sides.  I added some ribbon, stickles, and stamped Sweet randomly on the card.  I didn't have a stamp that just said Sweet, but I did have one from My Pink Stamper's Sweet Baby that said Sweet Innocence.  I used the Martha Stewart Ink that is in a tear drop shape so I had more control of just inking Sweet.  Here is the back view:

Supplies Used: 
Cricut Cartridges:  Hello Kitty Greetings, Wild Card, Imagine More Cards
Celebrate It Ribbon - White
Martha Stewart Ink - Stem Green
My Pink Stamper stamps - Sweet Baby
Stickles - Stardust
Recollections  Foam Adhesive Squares

Thank you for taking the time to stop by to take a look at my Sweet card.
