Cooking With Cricut Design Team Challenge- Glitter

Yay! Today is another fun day at Cooking With Cricut! I had such a fun time with the challenge that we were assigned. For this challenge the theme was "GLITTERMANIA". How fun is that?! I made this fun card using the ROCK PRINCESS cricut cartridge. I also used paper from: DCWV, Recollections, My Minds Eye. I wanted to find a stamp that would fit this card perfectly and ended up just making my own little tag that a wrote with a sharpie marker. I added some staples for more of a ROCK PRINCESS look;)

Go check out all the other fun GLITTERMANIA project the design team made. You can even enter this challange too! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you enjoyed my HEARTBREAKER card;)

Exploring Cartridges: Tags Bags Boxes and More

Today Lisa and I are exploring the cartridge TAGS BAGS BOXES AND MORE! This is one of the must have cartridges:) It is even one of the FREE cartridges that is available with the Gypy.

Look what Lisa created using the TAGS BAGS BOXES AND MORE cartridge! So stinkin' cute:)

Here is what Lisa had to say about this cartridge:

My "baby" is turning 18 on the 24th of this month. I wanted to do something special and different for her. Besides the scrapbook, that's not finished yet! Each little piece of this cake will have alittle gift tucked inside. I really like the Tags, Bags, Boxes and more cartridge because of all the possibilities with this one. If you have this cartridge, you will always have a tag, bag or box or more!

Here is my project:

Like I said before this is a MUST HAVE CARTRIDGE. This is great for making little gift boxes and bags. I have made party invitations using the fun tags too. The boxes and bags are pretty simple to put together. This cartridge is great for party favors and little gift bags you give to friends and classmates.

*I used paper, chipboard and buttons from Cosmo Cricket

Look at this yummy card Celeste made using the Preserves cartridge!

Here is what Celeste had to say about this cartridge:

I was actually given this cartridge as a gift and thought I would use it once in a while. Once I looked through the booklet I fell in love!!! This cartridge has all sorts of card and label shapes as well as images to make tags as well as beautiful jar lids (if you do any canning, or even home decor)! The layers on the images are very easy to cut and put together, I really like it!!

FAMILY FRIDAY DESIGN TEAM DAY!

For todays FAMILY FRIDAY project, I decided to make my lil sis a bookmark. I bought her the Ramona Books for Christmas (I loved these books when I was little). We dug through my scraps and she picked out paper she liked. I cut out this cute butterfly from the STRAIGHT FROM THE NEST cricut cartridge (one of my favorites too). I laminated it using the YOURSTORY by Provo Craft. I wrote a little note on the back of the bookmark for her (so she thinks about her big sissy;)

I used this stamp on a project I made last week and got so many emails about where you can get it... I found it at Micheals this past fall in their dollar bins. Hope you can still find it.

Be sure to head on over to CRAZY ABOUT CRICUT and see what the other design team members made!

*If you have read the Ramona books, you MUST see the movie! Loved it! Great for the family too.

Exploring Cartridges: Walk In My Garden

Today Erika and I are exploring the WALK IN MY GARDEN CARTRIDGE

Look at this adorable card Erika made using the WALK IN MY GARDEN cartridge
This is what Erika has to say about this cartridge:
I bought this cartridge on clearance at hobby lobby last summer for 19.99. I used it for my bulletin boards in my classroom and I have not used it since. When Kassidy asked me to make something using this cartridge I was like UH-OH!! Once I took it out and started playing with it I saw all the possibilities! I just picked up this great stamp set for Valentines Day that had a sentiment that was perfect for it. I got to say I really like the way the card came out and I will definitely be using this cartridge again!

This is the quick and simple card I made.

This was one of the very first cricut cartridges I ever got. I love how easy this cartridge is to use. Really simple layering and great for kids to use. If I ever need to make a simple flower, I pull this cartridge out. This cartridge also contains words, envelopes, cards and tags.

Exploring Cartridges: From My Kitchen

Today Amanda will be exploring the FROM MY KITCHEN CARTRIDGE

Amanda's cute project
Here is what Amanda had to say about FROM MY KITCHEN

I absolutely love this cartridge. Before I picked it up, I debated on the images because I don't do a lot of cooking. However, on a whim I decided to buy it and I am so glad that I did! This cartridge is great for scrapping those layouts that involve cooking or baking with your children, or any food related activity that comes along. Even holiday pictures! Although I have made a cookbook for my SIL, I decided to show how this cartridge can be used for things other than making a cookbook or recipe card. I used the cow cut and I am happy with how it turned out. This just shows that if you think outside of the box, any cartridge can be used for other than what it's intended!

Here is my creation using IN MY KITCHEN


Just like Amanda, I wasn't sure about getting this cartridge or not. I am really glad I did though:) There is a lot of fun images on this cartridge that you can use for scrapbook pages, recipe books, greeting cards and school projects. I just need to remember to pull out this cartridge a little more:)

Here is my project. I loved this little bird house (I think it may be my favorite cut on this cartridge). I like that you can stretch all the images and how stinkin' easy it is to layer.
