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.

Card Creating Tuesday - Any Card

 

Hello, Today is Card Creating Tuesday.

Today we could make any kind of card we wanted.

I decided to shat with you a card I made

for a recent swap.  For the swap, we were to

make any card,, but it had to include stamping.

 

I made this card using Artiste and Elegant Edges.

 

The paper is from CTMH.

I also used some Spellbinders dies.

 

 

The stamped sentinment is one of the

stamps included in the Artiste bundle.

I added some Stardust Stickles to give it

some sparkle.  I also inked all papers

with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye.

 

I popped each layer using foam squares.

 

Thanks for stopping by, and please make sure your

WYEGW - 3D Projects

Hello all my crafty friends and Happy Wednesday!!

The theme for today is 3D Projects!

Now I have to give you fair warning,

this is a long, picture heavy post, so

I hope you will stay with me to the end!!

I have been playing with my new

CTMH Artiste Cartridge

and everything I made today

was from this cartridge.

Here is a pic of all 4 projects I have for you today.

As you can see I made 3 little bags/purses

and the 3D Pumpkin.

I will start off with the pumpkin.

This was super easy and came

together very quickly.

As a matter of fact, all the projects

were quick and easy to cut and assemble.

The pumpkin can be found on page 78 of the

booklet and I cut it at 9'

You use the Accent 1 feature key.

I stamped the pumpkin with CTMH

Western Flourishes stamp set

and versamark ink.  I embossed

the flourishes with Zing copper glitter

embossing powder.

Nest up is the little purse from

page 35.  This cut is

on the 3D Object feature key.

It was cut at 4.2"



This purse reminded me of a crown

so I added some jewels and Cherry Ice Stickles.

The label in the center is

Spellbinders Twisted Metals Tags Die.

I inked it with Milled Lavender Distress Ink

and the sentiment is from Pink By Design

"Inner Princess" stamp set.

The paper is Best Creations Ballet Princess.

The next bag is from page 56.

Cut at 4.2" using Accent 4 feature key and the shift key.

I added some Lavender Stickles

to accentuate the pretty eyelet cuts.

Finished it off with some ribbon.

The paper is Best Creations Walk in the Garden.

My last item is my favorite!!

This purse can be found on page 33

once again using the 3D object feature key.

It was also cut at 4.2"

Both the scrolls and the flowers were also

cut from the Artiste Cartridge.

The scrolls can be found on page 43

Accent 1, shift key.

The flowers can be found on page 54.

Here is a close up.

This paper is from DCWV, Bella Boutique Stack.

The sentiment is a sticker from the same stack.

I inked all the paper with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

The flowers and scrolls were covered in

Stardust Stickles.

Well, thanks for stopping by today.

Little Scrap Pieces Guest Designer

Hi All My Crafty Friends!!

Today, I am so excited to share with you that

I am a guest designer for the Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces.   

I jumped at the chance when Karen asked for

volunteers to do this. 

Thanks for this opportunity, Karen!

Now Karen let her guest designer's pick

their own them and I chose

"USE BLING"!!!

 

I love using bling on my projects

and this one is no exception.

It is jam packed with bling!!

 

I have been wanting to make

a Paris themed card for awhile

and this is what I came up with

 

I used the brand new CTMH Artiste Cricut

cartridge for the roses and the flourishes,

The Eiffel Tower and Cest la Vie,

were cut from Wall Decor and More.

Here is a picture without using the flash.

The beautiful paper is from

DCWV Belle Blvd stack.

It is hard to tell but the

black border at the bottom

is flocked!!

I distressed all the paper

with Tea Dye Distress ink.

Here is a close up of the beautiful flowers.

I sprayed them with some water after

rolling them so I could shape the petals.

I then spritzed them with Diamond Glimmer Mist.

I then added some StarDust

Stickles to the end of the petals.

Did you know if you use StarDust Stickles

it dries clear and you can see the color of

the paper underneath??  It just adds the sparkle!!

I added some pearls to the centers.

 I also added the stickles to the flourishes,

the senmtiment and the flourishes

on the tower!!!

Karen, thank you so much for

choosing me to be a guest designer today!!

Please head on over to Little Scrap Pieces

and join us for the Fun Friday Challenge

and show us some BLING!!!
