For my projects today, I used Robots Party, Handy Man, Splish Splash and 9 months! Hope you enjoy!

My first project is a cute page I made to celebrate my husband and I buying our fist house! I used Handy Man to cut the house at 2 inches. 

For my second project I used Robots Party to start making the treat bags for my son's upcoming birthday party!

 

 

For my third project, I actually ended up with 2 projects when I was all done! I used Splish Splash to cut this really elegant sign to hang in the bathroom. I cut these at "fit to page". I ended up with 2 project because when I cut the "Bath" cut, it cut out the word so I attached that to the background that was cut when cutting the trim for the first sign!  

My final project is a cute card for a good friend who is due later this month with her first baby! She was telling me not long ago how her hubby went out and got her some ice cream late at night for her, so I thought that this would be such a cute card to send her! I used 9 months to cut the saying at 2 inches. I choose not to use the cut out of "ice cream" because of how small it was cut, so I just hand wrote it with a white get pen. The sentiment stamp on the inside is from the Say it Sweet stamp set by Pink by Design.

I hope that you have enjoyed my projects today! Your next stop on the hop is Laura  http://www.laurascraftsandmore.com/! Also make sure to check back to Erica's blog tomorrow to see day 2 of the hop with 25 new blogs and projects!!

My 1st Blogaversary blog hop!

Welcome to Samantha's Cricut Creations 1st anniversary blog hop! This is the first stop on the hop, so sit back and enjoy all the wonderful projects along the way!

The hop theme today is crafty anniversary.

For my project today, I have made a "Celebrate" banner! I hope you enjoy!

 Completed banner

I started by using Robots party and Hopscotch Imagine cartridges to print and cut my banner pieces. The largest banner pendents are cut at 3.5 inches and have the pattern from page 2 right, the smaller banner pendents are cut at 3 inches and have the pattern from page 6 right. These are attached to each other with pop-dots.

I then cut my letters from Cherry Limeade and Hopscotch pattern from page 4 left at 3 inches. These are attached to the banner pendants using smaller pop-dots. The first and last banner pendants have 2

asterisk's each that have been attached to each other with glue dots to add some color and pop! 

Last, I connected all the banner pendants using Aqua-Divine Time twine from Pink by Design.

September Cricut 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have come from Rosa http://kleymanr.blogspot.com/ . If you did not please start at the beginning of the hop at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/

 I have 5 projects for you this weekend from 5 different cartridges! To keep the length of this post down, I will only post minimum info about each, and if you would like the detailed info please feel free to send me an email letting me know what card info you would like and I will pass it onto you! :)

The first project was a card from Just Because Cards and is for my Chemo Angel patients sister....

• I started by cutting the lady bug at 8 inches and the saying at 4 inches. 
• The purple background paper is cut 1/4 of an inch smaller than the card base. 
• The background paper is embossed with a flower pattern before attaching it to the card base. 
• I used a scalloped punch to cut a tag to stamp on with a PBD sentiment stamp. I also added the flower to the inside of the card to add some color! 

My next project was made from the Robotz cartridge and is for my Great Nephew's 1st birthday! (Yes you read that correctly...my great nephew!)

• I cut the frog robot out at 5 inches (I cut this out 2 times, once in black and the other in white in order to make my card)
• I attached the layers to the front piece (black) and then attached the black layer to the white only at the top part that goes up to make it a card. 
• Instead of using the eyes that the cricut can cut out, I pulled out my google eyes and selected 2 that would fit the areas for the eyes. (I think this really make the card look cute!)
• I used a couple of PBD stamps on the inside to finish the card off! 

My next card came from Wild Card and I am not sure yet who this card is for. I think I will end up making up a few of these cards to send to family and friends for Thanksgiving!

• I started by finding some really pretty fall-ish patterned paper and cutting out the cardbase and leaf for the envelope.The cardbase, layers, envelope and leaf for envelope are all cut at 5 inches
• I attached the layers together and then also added a stamp the the inside of the card from the 

My next card is from Disney's Cars cartridge and was my card for my Chemo Angel patient last week! My son Jacob loves the movie Cars, so when I pulled out this cartridge, I let him point to the one I should make! (I am not sure he really got the concept since he is 2, but he did help!)

• I cut this card and layers at 5 inches. I cut the "blackout" cut 2 times, one for the "top" (black) of the card, and one for the bottom (white). For the bottom layer, I used my score board to score the top portion to make a flap to attach to the top layer of the card to make the card. 

My final project is from Robots Party! These invitations are fun for a party for any little boy (or girl!) who loves robots. :)

• The bases for the invites are a A2 size card cut on the score line!
• The front cuts were done at 5 inches
• The backs are stamped with a invite stamp set and left blank for the host to write in the party information.  

BLOG CANDY!!! 

I really hope that you enjoyed all of my projects for this hop! Last but not least a hop wouldn't be complete without a giveaway!

Robot card

Hi everyone! Hope this Monday is treating you well! This past weeks Chemo Angel card was really fun for me to make. I just got in a Robot's party cartridge and am going to have fun making stuff with it! I decided to make a quick card to send to my patient. :)

Items used:

• DCWV card base 
• Robots party cricut cartridge 
• 3D Foam adhesive 
• Zig glue 
• cuttlebug and embossing folder
• dark blue and light blue cardstock
• PBD stamps
• Memento Ink 

How to:

• I cut out the robot and layers at 3.5 inches. 
• Before attaching the layers to the base of the robot, I put the body layer through my cuttlebug in a dot folder.
• I then attached each layer with zig glue. 
• I attached the robot to the card base using the 3D foam squares. 
• Once everything was attached, I added the sentiment stamps to the front and inside of the card using Memento ink.
