December 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Hello all my crafty friends!

Can you believe it is December already??

Christmas is just 24 days away, do you have

your shopping and crafting done yet??

I still have some shopping to do, but since I have

been making & posting christmas cards since October,

I have a slew of cards done!!

Well enough rambling, today is the day

for the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop with

My Cricut Craft Room.

You have have arrived from my dear

friend Shelley, if not please start at the

beginning so you don't miss anything!!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances

our team has shrunk in half within

the last month!!  So this time

our hop will only be one day.

Grab a snack and a beverage of choice

and join us for some great Cricut inspiration!!

This month I made 3 projects using

4 cartridges.  I used

Christmas Solutions, Simply Charmed,

Gypsy Wanderings and Teddy Bears on Parade.

Here is my first project using

Simply Charmed and Gypsy Wanderings.

The striped frame was cut at 5.25" H from

Gypsy Wanderings.  The candy was cut at 3"

from Simply Charmed.

I used Coordinations Cardstock and

the striped paper is DCWV.

I embossed the white cardstock

with a folder called

Peppermint Twists from Sizzix.

I also spritzed it with some glimmer mist.

This cute little tag is from My Craft Spot's

"Tiny Tags" dies and the sentiment

is from her "Mistletoe" stamp set.

I stamped it with Versamark and

embossed with Zing Embossing Powder.

 I am entering this card in the following challenges:

 Little Scrap Pieces

DL ART

My Craft Spot

This next card was made using Teddy Bears on Parade.

My inspiration for this card was

from a card that GiGi

from The Cricut Bug

made for the November Release

for My Craft Spot.

All paper was from the Echo Park

Very Merry Christmas Pack.

Teddy and all his layers were cut at 4"

I stamped his face with

Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"

stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen

and added some glossy accents.

The label he is mounted on was

cut from Gypsy Wanderings at 4.75"

He is also mounted on an Action Wobble!!

I stamped his face with

Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"

stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen

and added some glossy accents.

I added a cute little pom pom made from twine

to the top of his hat.
I am entering this card
in the following challenges:

Go Fish
Paper Playtime

My last project is a tag I made

using Christmas Solutions.

I had just won this great stamp

set "mistletoe" from My Craft Spot

November Release and knew I

wanted to make a tag with some Mistletoe!!

I cut the tag from kraft cardstock using

My Creative Time's Tag Dies.

I embossed the tag using a Mistletoe

Cuttlebug folder.  I then added

some pattern paper and decorative

trim from Webster's Pages.

The Mistletoe was cut from

Christmas Solutions at 2.07" H.

I added some pearls as the berries.

I hand cut the tag with the

sentiment on it and

added some crinkle ribbon and lace.

I am entering this project

in the "To Die For"

challenge over at CardzTV

WYEGW - Technique - 3D Basket

Welcome to

Today the technique we were challenged to use was

to create a 3-D Basket!!

Now I know there is a beautiful easter basket

on the new TBBM2 card, and another

great one on the new Spring Cottage.

But I wanted to challenge myself to create

a basket using some other cartridge.

So I was looking through my booklets

and I found the cute "Nut Cup" on TBBM.

I thought, I can make a basket with that!!

Here is a sneak peek!!

I used several cartridges for this project.

I will show you picutures of all 4 sides, and then

list the cartridges and sizes below.

I used some of the eggs I had left

over form the card I made last week.

Supplies Used:

Tags, Bags, Boxes and More - Nut Cup 11.90"w x 13.20"h

Art Philosophy - Eggs cut at 1.5"

MS All Occasion Cake Art - Grass cut at 1.5"

Gypsy Wanderings - Bunny cut at 1.75"

Simply Charmed - Chick cut at 1.75"

Stickles

Lace Trim

Ribbon

Cuttlebug

Peachy Keen Everyday Character Face Parts

Glossy Accents

I was really happy with the way this turned out, hope you like it too.

No hop on over to My Cricut Craft Room

to see what other fun projects and baskets my

design team sisters have made!!

I will be entering this project in the following Easter Challenges:

100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop.

If you are joining me from Laurie's Blog, then you are in the right place.  If you just happened to visit my blog today, then please make sure you check out Erica's blog at

My Cricut Craft Room to start at the beginning.

There are so many talented ladies in today's hop.  This is day two of the hop, so be sure to check Erica's Blog for yesterday's hop list.

So, I was a little over ambitious and signed up for 5 cartridges!!  I signed up for Art Philosophy (my favorite cart), Elegant Edges, Sweet Treats, Sweethearts and Ultimate Creative Cartridge Sampler

I made 3 cards, one using Sweet Treats, one using Sweethearts, and then the last card I used, Art Philosopy, Elegant Edges and Ultimate Creative Sampler.

Now, on to my projects!!

For this card, I used Sweet Treats.

I cut this super cute card using the card feature.   I cut the card and all the layers at 5.5"

The PP is Imanginise Sweet Cheri line.  I cut the tag using a Stampin Up punch and the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Sweetest Cupcakes" set.

For this next card I used the card feature on the Sweethearts cart.

It was super quick and easy to make!!

This card was so hard to photograph, because of the glitter paper.

This card was one simple cut, I cut it at 5.13" H.  I saved the cut out piece of cupid to use on another project.  I used kraft cardstock, and then a piece of red glitter cardstock was glued to the back.  I embossed it using the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder.  I used distress ink to the card base.  The sentiment is from My Creative Times "100% Sweetness" set.  I finished it off with some crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot and a rhinestone corner.

For my last card, I actually used 5 different cartridges!!

This is a Valentine's card, but I decided to use non-traditional colors.  The paper is from DCWV Lemon Flower Stack.  I love this stack.  Actually I could even use this as an anniversary card, since my anniversary is Feb. 6th!!  The card base was cut from Art Philosophy at 7" H.  The pretty heart border was cut from Elegant Edges at 7"w x 1" h.  The heart was cut from the Ultimate Creative Sampler at 4.7" h.  The arrow came from Gypsy Wanderings and the sentiment came from Wild Card.  I finished it off with some rhinestone swirls and crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot and some distress ink.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects, your next stop is: Kym

Fall Colors - Thinking of You

I made a couple of really quick card tonight for a few challenges.  I was surprised I got both of them done in about two hours.  Here is the first one.  I aploigize for the poor photos.  You all know how hard it is to photograph sparlkey or glittery paper!!

I used the new DCWV Harvest Gathering Stack for everything but the card base.  The card base is made with paper from Coordinations Chocolate Box Collection.  I embossed with a leaf folder, not sure of the manufacturer.  I sanded the paper so that the color would show through a little bit.  The base was cut from Art Philosophy.  All other cuts are from Gypsy Wanderings.  I added a little bling and some hand dyed crinkle ribbon in Maple Leaf from My Craft Spot.  I am entering this card in the following challenges:
