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.

Thanks for stopping by,

This month I chose four different Cricut Cartridges and I have three cards to share with you today.

My first card was created using Paisley.

I got this sunglass ribbon from Erica with this cute Elephant in mind.

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Fabulous Phrases.

I embossed both layers of my elephant with Swiss Dots & D'vine Swirl Cuttlebug Folders

and I added Glossy Accents to the sunglasses.

My 9 year old niece has been having some bully issues so I am going to send this to her so she remember's that she is FABULOUS! :)

Cricut Cuts:

Button 6 on overlay, cut at 2.75...also used Feature buttons Layer 1, Layer 2 to complete cut.

My second card was created using Yummy Imagine Cartridge and Martha Steward Holiday Cakes.

This was a quick and simple Easter Card.  All of the pattern papers were patterns selected from the Yummy cartridge...this actually has really great pastel colors on this cartridge.

The bunny is from Holiday Cakes.

To finish off this card I added Divine Twine and Star Dust Stickles.

Cricut Cuts:

Background Rectangle - from stock images on the Imagine, cut at 4.2, filled with pattern from pg 43.

Scalloped circle - from stock images on the Imagine, cut at 3.5, filled with pattern form pg 40.

Bunny - MS Holiday Cakes, Button 42 on overlay, cut at 2.2, filled with pattern from pg 42.

Top Layer of Bunny - <Shift> Button 42 on overlay, cut at 2.2, filled with pattern from pg 42.

(Page numbers reference Yummy Cartridge)

This card was created using Just Because Cards cartridge.

Ok so I saved my favorite card for last...I absolutely love this card!

I bought the paper by Sultry by Basic Gray knowing I wanted to use it for a Watermelon cut.

I also used Divine Twine Pink, Black, and Green and twisted them together and added a knot of each color and I added Glossy Accents to the seeds on the watermelon.

Doesn't it look so Yummy!

Cricut Cuts:

Background Cut - <Shift> Button 32 on the Overlay, cut at 3.71

Watermelon - Feature Layer 1 and Layer 2, Button 32 on the Overlay, cut at 4.0

Thanks a Melon - Feature Word, Button 32 on the Overlay, cut at 3.25

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday...It's Thanksgiving week.  Is everyone ready for yummy food and spending time with family?  I am super excited for the short work week!  For today's project I am feartured on My Cricut Craft Room's My Imagine-ation Monday.  I created this plaqure for Thanksgiving.  This is the first Home Decor project I made and really love how it turned out.

For the plaque I used a foam board that was in my husbands Nook packaging as extra filling.  I love finding ways to reuse packaging like this.

Cartridge Cuts:

Create A Critter - Button 47 on overlay including all three layers, cut at 3.5

Storybook - Feature Key Shorty/Holes <Shift>, button 40 on overlay, cut at 4.5

Holiday Cakes - Feature Font <Shift>, button 46 on overyay, cut at 1.5

Imagine Better Together - Images flood filled  with patterns on pages 38,40, & 42

I embossed using the Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots embossing folder and added some ribbon to complete my Happy Thanksgiving plaque.

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Please go to My Cricut Craft Room to see what the other Design Team members created.

Thanks,

Jen
