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.

Letter of the Day - Letter F


Hello My crafty friends!!
Did you all get to see all the amazing projects on this
There were lots of inspiring ideas.

Well today is the first time I signed up
for Letter of the day!!
For the letter of the day, we can use
a cartridge or a cut that begins with that letter.
I chose to use the brand new Fontopia cartridge.
This cartirdge is so much more than a font cartridge.
It has some really great card cuts and graphics.
I made a very simple card today.
I was having trouble cutting the intricate
crest layers, so I did not use the top layer.
(I believe my problem was my mat was
not sticky enough so the paper kept coming up)
I chose the card from page 43
Here is the page from the handbook

I know some of you may say it is too early
for Christmas cards.  But the sooner
I start, the sooner I will be done!!
Hopefully I will not be still making
cards 2 weeks before christmas!!
The paper is from
DCWV, and the Snowman
is a Jolee's embellishment.

This was my original card, but
 I thought it needed more!!
I added some silver stickles
and some gems.
You cannot see all the sparkle this card has!!


On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from
"Have a Cool Yule" from Crafty Sprouts.


If you have not taken a look Fontopia
please check out the handbook
And if you want to buy it
you can order it HERE.
Erica has the best prices!!
