January 100 Cartridge blog hop!

 

 

 Welcome to the January 2013 100 cartridge blog hop! If you have just stumbled upon my blog and would like to start at the beginning, head on over to My Cricut Craft Room! 

For my project today, I used the Close to my Heart Art Philosophy cartridge and the matching stamp set Ornamental Cheer to match up my stamps to my cuts! 

The first 2 pictures are the same cut - just front and back. I decided to make this cute cut into a very cute tag to go onto a present. 

This 3rd cut, I made both into a tag for a present by stamping to and from on the other side, but I also stamped it the same on both sides to make a cute, simple ornament for my tree!

And my final cut was this larger ornament. I stamped one side in green and one in red and used it as an ornament on my tree.

For all my ornaments and tags,  I used Divine twine limited edition holiday twine. 

The next stop on the hop is SARA!

 And just in case you get lost along the way, here is the entire hop line up!

Card creating Tuesday - card with a window

Welcome to Card Creating Tuesday! Today we were challenged to make a card that has a window in it. I knew right away the perfect cartridge to pull out and that is Art Philosophy as it has so many card bases that have windows in them! After flipping through the entire cartridge book, I finally settled on this card! 

 

• Card is cut out at 5 inches (I was able to cut 2 at this size from a 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper) 
• I took the negative stockings that were cut out to make the windows, and put them through my sticker maker and then covered the adhesive with glitter. I then put them back through my sticker maker to make the back of the stockings adhesive and placed them on the inside of the card so that they show show through the window. 
• To add some more color to the front, I added a ribbon around the front and then stamped both the front and inside of the card with sentiment stamps from Pink by Design's Christmas Wishes set. 

Bloom card

Hi Everyone! Today is Would you ever guess Wednesday with My Cricut Craft Room! That means that we have all made something only using a shift key on a cricut cartridge! Please head on over to Erica's blog to see what the other design team members have made for today. 

• I cut the card base from Art philosophy at 6 inches - using a paper pattern from Imagine More Cards
• After cutting the cardbase out, I took the negative flowers and ran then through my sticker maker to make the up side sticky
• Once the flowers were sticky, I lined them with twine. I used a green twine for the stems, and the pretty colors for the flower portion. I then used a zig glue pen to adhesive them and placed them on the inside of the card so that they line up with the cut out on the front of the card.
• The last step was to add two sentiment stamps. Both are from Pink by Design Grow stamp set.

Would you ever guess Wednesday!
