My Cricut Craft Room - Theme Day Thursday

Happy Thursday Crafty Friends,

We are almost to the weekend...Wahoo!

Today is Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room...the Design Team members could either create something with an Egg/Grass Theme or use the cartridge of the day which is Create A Critter.

I just love this cartridge, so of course this was such a fun day to sign up for.

I wanted to use the Hap-Bee birthday sentiment from Pink By Design's Take the Cake stamp set and knew this little Bee from Create A Critter would be perfect.

First I created my own double sided paper using my Cricut Imagine and the Hey Diddle Diddle cartridge. I just love the patterns on this cartridge. I didn't want to print a whole sheet of paper so to make the paper I cut a rectangle out that would be big enough to make my 4.5 x 4.5 card.

I selected the 5:7 rectangle in the stock images and sized it at 8.0 . I filled this rectangle with the yellow pattern and print and cut. After this cut I flipped the cut piece on my mat keeping the 12 x12 piece on the mat so I know exactly where to put the flipped piece down. I then changed the pattern on the same rectangle to the floral pattern. I then reloaded my mat and changed the setting to Print Only and it printed in the same exact place as the last cut. This is the best way I have found to create double sided paper and it saves ink when you don't want to print both sides of a full sheet.

Using my Gypsy I found a square cut on Gypsy Font and sized this at 9 x 4.5 to create my 4.5 x 4.5 base. I then I placed the Bee Hive in the middle of the card so it would cut a Bee Hive window.

You can find the Hive using the Accessory Feature, Button 45, Cut at 2.5.

The Bee was created with Button 45, Feature Buttons Layer 1 & Layer 2. Each layer was cut at 2.25.

It's hard to tell in the picture, but I used glitter paper for the wings and Glossy Accents on all of the black parts of the Bee.

To finish my card I added some ribbon and doodled around the front of my card and around the hive on the inside of my card.

Hope you enjoyed my Create A Critter Creation (say that 10 times fast...LOL)

My Cricut Craft Room - My Imagine-ation Monday

Happy Monday crafters,

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and possibly joined us for My Cricut Craft Rooms 100 Cricut Cartridge blog hop...there was a ton of fabulous projects made by my DT sisters!

Today is My Imagine-ation Monday at My Cricut Craft Room...I hope to inspire you to use your Imagine today. For this card I used Hey Diddle Diddle and for my card I used only one piece of 12x12 white paper and a 4x4 scrap of white paper...isn't that amazing! :)

Cricut Cuts:

I made a two sided piece of paper by printing one pattern using the Print Only Setting on one side and flipped the sheet and changed the Setting to Print & Cut.

I then flood filled the 5:7 rectangle on the stock images that come on the Imagine (cut at 8.1).

I then selected the Butterfly cut from Create A Critter <Shift> button 41, cut at 2.5 and flood filled with various patterns also from Hey Diddle Diddle.

Once my rectangle was cut with the double sided paper I attached that piece back to my mat and cut the card base which can be found on Art Philosophy using Card Feature <Shift> button 35, cut at 5.5.

Here is the side view of my card...to add dimension to my butterfly I adhered the inside edges of the wings and lifted the outer sides up. To finish off my card I heat embossed my sentiment which is from My Creative Time's Many Greetings and I also used her Circle Stitch Die around the sentiment. I also did some doodle stitching around the butterfly to give her that finishing look.

The inside of the card...I used some pearl accents as the butterfly bodies and added some dots to outline the butterfly cut from the front of the card.

I am super happy with this card!

I hope you enjoyed my card today.
