My Cricut Craft Room Blog Hop

It's time for the My Cricut Craft Room Design Team Blog Hop!!!!   Hope your enjoying the hop so far!  You should have come from Mary's blog.  If not and you want to start at the beginning just go to My Cricut Craft Room.
Today I've created 3 projects. First one up is a thank you card I made for my boss. I used Fancy Frames cartridge and sized it with my (moms) Gypsy. I wanted it to be black and white with a pop of color. I must say it turned out better then i thought. I used a 4x5 1/2 white card and white and black sparkle fabric paper for the card base. White paper for the shadow and black for the frame. I tied a bow using blue gingham ribbon and popped it through the frame. Added some stickles for sparkle.

For my second project, I used the Nursery Rhymes cartridge to make a baby shower card.  I cut the Rock a baby at 3 3/4" in baby blue and shadow in brown. I used DCWV the all about me paper stack to make the card base. I put the cut out on a wobble so it would rock! I also used glossy accents to fill in the cradle.

For my third project I made a gift tag for the baby shower gift, using the Garden Soup cartridge. I cut it out at 2". Then inked and tied a matching blue ribbon from the card to it. I also used a white pen to make stitches.

My Cricut Craft Room Design Team Post

Hello ladies!!!! Today's theme is beer, wine, and alcohol. So, I've created a 12x12 2 page layout for my honeymoon. (I'm sure we will have a drink or six on the cruise lol) I used firefly and starry night stickles to add some bling.

 I picked up the 12x12 paper from the Target dollar bins awhile back. It worked out perfect!

  I used Life is a beach cartridge to cut out the 5" pineapple drink and the Luau cartridge to cut out the 4" coconut drink.

  then inked all the edges. ( I just love that look)

 The drink stickers are Me & My Big Ideas.

I hoped you enjoyed my project. and i will post the pictures when we return!

If you like this project, please check out whats going on over at My Cricut Craft room 

Thanks for stopping by!! Always be a crafty crafter!!!!

Hello there!! Today is card day and thank goodness for that cuz I really need to stock my stash.  I used the card sketch from Erica.

This is the card sketch

I used 3 different cartridges, and my Gypsy, (well okay my mom's Gypsy - but we share everything), to make my card.  George and Basic Shapes was used to cut the circle at approx. 5", Gypsy wanderings was used to cut the shoe at approx. 3", and Wild Card was used to cut the banner at approx. 4 1/2 inches.  I layered everything using the Gypsy to get my sizes right.

I also used Kraft cardstock for my base and the images were cut with paper provided by Erica!  They are from Imaginisce and Kaiser Craft - Bonjour Collection.

The stamp is from My Pink Stamper - Punnylious 

Flowers are from Shabby Chic

Silver Stickles add a little touch of bling

Look how cut that shoe paper is!

Well that's it, hope you loved my take on the card sketch today.  For more projects like mine please visit My Cricut Craft Room

It's card creating Tuesday over at My Cricut Craft Room!  I've made a chocolate bunny card using the Easter 2010 cartridge and gypsy.  Using my Gypsy I flipped one of the chocolate bunnies and then welded them together.  They were approx. 6" tall, I just enlarged the bunnies until they seemed the right size.  I then ran them through my embosser using the swirls embossing folder.  The bunny was then inked in chocolate brown. I tied a piece of ribbon for his bow and gave him a googly eye.  I chalked his nose in pink and gave him a cotton tail!

Do you see Ms Pink Cricut enjoying my chocolate bunny?  Do you think she is the one who took a bite out of his ear???

We are surprising her with an american girl doll!!and a AG themed party! I might be alil excited about this, lol. I cant wait to go to the AG store with her!!! Anyhow, on to my project.

March 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog hop with My Cricut Craftroom

Hello Ladies!!!  Today I'm very excited because this is my very first blog hop!! Woohoo!!
I made three projects for the hop using three different carts. I really wanted to get alot done. I thought what better way then doing a hop!!! So on to my crafts!!
You should have come from Vicki's blog. If not, please start from the beginning at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

I created this12 x12 layout for my daughter's dance recital. I used Twinkle Toes cricut lite cart. I cut the dance recital image at 3 1/"2 and the other image at 4". The paper is from Sring Feast pack by first editon. The tags are also from this pack, they are on a full 12 x12 paper and i jsut hand cut them out. I tied twine to two of the tags for alil something.   I inked the Prima Flowers with brown ink. and added a twine tied button. I double matted the photo. Added alil sparkle with the gems. and did a technique with the ribbon that i learned at CHA a few years back.

For my second project I used the Dude! cricut lite cart. I made this 12x12 layout for my son during a trip to AZ. You have to cut the atv guy out four times, which turned out really cute. I inked him in brown to give that dirt feeling. lol. The paper is from My Mind's Eye Celebration Tracker stack. Its kraft cardstock, I really love how this paper looks! The plaid paper is from BasicGrey 6x6 life of the party paper pad. cut to 2" and 2 1/2". I already had pre-made tags laying around so I used Distress ink to cover the whole tag. I used my new stamps from Pink by Design Small Things that I bought from Erica. I then used the Sew Stamper (also sent from Erica, Ty so much) using the X stamp to create the path across the entire page. This is my first time using the sew stamper and i really loved it! really easy to use and gives that extra added something to my page!

For my third and final project, I made a birthday card for my husband, using the Splish Splash cricut lite cart. (I haven't really used many of our lite carts, so i chose carts that i haven't used before)
I cut the card 6" from kraft cardstock and covered the front using paper from Targets dollar bins. and the wood paper is also from BasicGrey life of the party paper pad cut at 3". I cut the anchor at 3" as well. i then inked around it used aqua blue. i added twine.  for the inside i used stickers from creative memories i bought years ago. My husband and I are going on a cruise in May for our honeymoon. So that inspired me to make this beachy themed card. I hope he likes it!!!
