MY CRICUT CRAFT ROOM 100 BLOG HOP

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

 

 

You should have come from Pat's blog, if not please go to My Cricut Craft Room's Blog to start at the beginning.

* Be sure to try to stop at each blog and leave some love because these fantabulous ladies worked really hard on these projects!

Four out of Five projects all were used from the Pogado Cartridge. I told Erica one day that I would never use this cartridge, and that's when she told me to not be so close minded! So guess what this IS one of my favorite cartridges! I love love this cartridge!  Look below and you will see why!

This is a card that I had made. I used embossing powders for the LIVE,LAUGH, and LOVE words. I also embossed the frilly design next to both sides of the card! I used gliter puff paints to make the tree stand out a little bit more.

This layout I had made for my daughter she loves pandas.

This is a Tag that I made . I cut the top paper at 5" and the bottom layer at 6". The lettering was embossed using gold powder!

This card was such a blast to make. Used the cuttlebug and embossed the red paper. Then I used Glitter puff paints to add a little more detail!

Festive Friday~ALL

Hello to all my crafty friends.Welcome to another Festive Friday at My Cricut Craft Room. I came up with this great Fall decor for my house. This was a fun project. I will show you the steps how I made this .

I used the Fancy Frames Cartridge.

This is the easel that I also made from the Fancy Frames. Below I will show you the steps how I made this!

The Gold,Red, and Brown metallic paper was just metallic card stock paper. The Fall stamps that I used is from the Recollection stamp collection.

The gold wording is Gold embossing powder that I did. I'm telling you ever since I was taught to emboss I love doing it. Also I put some Orange glitter embellishment to add a little more to the Frame.

I made the cuts 8 inches

I lined the two sides up so they match up.

Then I added the third piece to finish the easel. This is how I made this fantastic project for Fall. I hope I gave you a great idea to make your own decor. Hope everyone has a great Crafty Day!

Beach Day Theme Day Thursday!

Hey there, Today is Beach Day Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room . I had visited Erica last week and she gave me some great pointers on embossing and stamping. I was always intimidated by stamps and that word EMBOSSING. It sounded so hard, but really it is so simple. Once you know how to emboss you will know longer use glitter and glue on anything ever again. She also taught me how to use the heat gun as well. So in my project I wanted to show what I have learned and to tell you the truth not bad for being my first time embossing.

The basic card layout was from the cartridge JUST BECAUSE CARDS. I love this cartridge. I use it a lot for the cards I make. ( Pointer) Erica taught me to use the two sided paper for cards that way the inside matches the outside and also it looks so much more professional. My mistakes when I made cards was that i would just use the paper from the paper mats and get so frustrated because the inside would always be WHITE. Now I know why (Giggle)

The clouds stamp is from My Pink Design! I love this because it just turns out so nice using this stamp. I used light  blue embossing powder. (Pointer) Erica told me when you use the embossing powder to flick the paper and don't blow on it because the powder some how spreads to where it is supposed to go when you flick it, and when you blow it, lets just say its a mess.

The celebrate Whoo Hoo stamp is actually from the dollar section of Michael's. This stamp came out better than I thought it would be. (Pointer) Don't forget when you use your stamps right afterwards make sure you clean them right away because if you don't that is one way you can mess them up.

The sun was created by using the DESIGNER CALENDER Cartridge .

The Palm tree was so much fun making and that was made using the "DUDE" Cartridge.

Well this is how I made this Awesome Beach card. I really hope that I gave you some good ideas for you when you emboss and make your cards. Come back tomorrow to see what I made for Festive Friday at My Cricut Craft Room. Have a Fantabulous Crafting Day!

Surprise Challenge!!

Hey Everyone today's theme was Would You Ever Guess Wednesday? Well Erica came up with a challenge using the NEW Art Philosophy Close To My Heart Cricut Cartridge. The challenge was to use the same size cuts and the same images, and boy are they different! Please go to My Cricut Craft Room and see how we made our cards. This was such a fun project. I hope we have more challenges lol....I enjoyed doing this!

 

 

Please come back and visit and see all the new projects that I have in store for you all. Have a wonderful Crafting Day!

IMAGINE-aition MONDAY !!

Hello Hello welcome to Monday's Theme Imagine-ation . What this is if you are new to my blog is you have to make something using the Imagine Cricut Machine and of course your imagination! This was such a cool project because I do not own an Imagine. I had to use my sister-in-laws in order to this project. Let me tell you I LOVED IT!! Yes it is time consuming because I don't know all the function and special keys yet but let me tell you when I get my Imagine for Christmas I will be super excited and I will help everyone who is also new to this product. I love my Cricut Expression machine. If you are new to this and need help or have questions please let me know and I would love to help you all out!!

The Cartridge that I used was Imagine More Cards Art Cartridge. Now remember I am new to this I know that I did pick this card right out of the book.I did do something different than the book's sample..I changed the Firs layer part. It was supposed to be a red outline with red polka dots and I changed it to the newspapers background. I thought it fit the theme with the type writer! What do you all think??  I also cut the card at 5.4".

      Here is the Inside of the card and I put some sticky adhesive glue the top edge of the card so it could open and close. I basically duplicated this from the card but I didn't add the words or the type writer picture. Erica did help me!!

Here is the envelope that I also made for this card. This was all made from the Imagine Cricut Machine. Like I said this was my very first Imagine project. I thank Erica for taking the time to help me learn a little from this Machine.

If you like this project wait till Tuesday project Card Day! Also I just wanted to let everyone know that Wednesday's theme Would You Ever Guess?? Is going to be a little bit different. Erica asked me to do the same design for this project as hers, but I would take home the project and design it differently than hers. Boy did I come up with something spectacular. So don't forget to visit Wednesday as well. Well thank you for taking the time to look at all my projects and ideas. If any of you need help or want to know more how I made these crafts just leave me a comment and I will respond to you as soon as I can. Have a Wonderful Monday!

FairyTale Calender

This is my Fairytale calendar that I had made for my mother it is unfinished but I just wanted to share this to you and whoever is looking for calendar ideas using the Cricut Expression Machine. I did use the Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge. The Paper is actually the Once Upon A Time Paper. I got that at Michael's. Just to let you all know they are having a special 50% off all 180 Paper Pads this week!

FAIRYTALE CALENDAR

I had used the SweetHearts Cricut cartridge. This is one of my favorite Cartridges.

 I used the Celebrate With Flourish Cricut Cartridge to get the  Four Leaf Clovers.

I used the Designer's Calendar Cricut Cartridge for the umbrella.

I used the Tinkerbell Cricut Cartridge to transform the sun to a flower!

I also wanted to let you know with the Designer's Calendar Cartridge; it will print out your calendar's layout and the number's. I know this is unfinished but it is in the progress of getting complete as we speak. Also When I finish the whole Calendar I will post the finish product, and also I am going to use the machine called Cinch to Bind the calendar together! I really had fun making this and I hope this helps you come up with some good ideas for your Calendars.
