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
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:

This next card was made using Teddy Bears on Parade.
My inspiration for this card was
from a card that GiGi
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:
 FCCB
IBSIC
Made Especially for You
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

Thanks for stopping by today,
your next stop is the very talented

Here is the entire lineup
in case you get lost along the way :)

Nov. 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

 
Hello and Welcome to the November
100 Cartridge Blog Hop with
Can you believe that it is already November!!
Christmas will be here before you know it.
Have you started on your Christmas cards yet??
 
This month all the DT projects will be
Winter/Holiday related to give
you some inspiration for your
holiday projects.
 
You should have started at
 
This month I have used the following 4 cartridges.
Winter Woodland, Snow Friends, Jolly Holidays,
and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.
 
For my first project I used Winter Woodland
 
I made this card using the card feature
on page 39.  It was fast and simple.
The papers are DCWV and the sentiment
is from K Andrew's Winter Wishes.
I added some stickles to give it some sparkle!
 
My next project is a Christmas Tag
made using Jolly Holidays
and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.
 

 
The tag itself is a  the Tag die
from My Creative Time, which I hve embossed
and inked.  The Little Birdie is from
Jolly Holidays cut at 2".
The sentiment is from page 63
of Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake.
This cart has so many holiday related
images and sentiments!!

 
The papers are from Imaginisce.
 
My final project is a shaped card.
It is my favorite and was made
with Snow Friends.

 
I cut the cute little snowgirl at 5".
I welded 2 of the base layer using my gypsy
to form my shaped card.  I then cut a
third base layer to place on top.
I cut two of all the pieces
so that she would have a front
and a back.  The second set
of cuts I flipped using my gypsy
so they would line up properly.
Her face was stamped with
Peachy Keen's Princess Faces.
I think she is just too adorable!!
 
Here is a side view.

 
Thanks for visiting, and I hope
I have inspired you to
start your holiday projects!!
 
Next in the hop is my
sweet DT sister
 
Here is the entire line up

September 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

 
Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day ONE

You should have started at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/
if not please start at the beginning
Collectively the design team uses over 100 different Cricut Cartridges in their projects during the two days of this hop.

 
 
For this months Hop I chose to use the following cartridges,
Fontopia, Elmo and Friends Holiday, and Rock Princess.
I made all birthday cards this month!!
 
This first one I used Fontopia, and Artiste.
It is kind of simple, but it was for my
son, so did not want it fancy!!
 


The paper is from CTMH older set
called Route 66.
I used the chipboard and stamps
from the Artiste bundle for the center piece.

 
For this next card, I used Elmo and Friends Holidays.
Now I know I made an Abby Cadabby card a few
months ago, but when my friend at work saw
a picture of it, she wanted me to make her an
Abby Cadabby card too.  She has a
grandaughter named Abby.
 
These characters, have so many tiny pieces they
are sometimes a challenge to put together,
but once they are done, totally worth it!!
I added some of my favorite
Stardust Stickles.  The tag
is Spellbinders "Twisted Metal Tags"
 

 
 
For my last 2 projects I used Rock Princess.
My granddaughter had a "Rock Star" Birthday
Party this month, I made the invitations for the party.
 
I had to make 30 of these, so kept them pretty simple.
I had quite the time trying to cut glitter cardstock.
I ruined several sheets trying to cut the top layer.
I finally ended up reversing the colors and was
happy with the way they turn out.
 
Here is the inside
 
 
Here is the card that I made for her.
