My Cricut Craft Room Card Tuesday

Welcome to another Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room. This week we were asked to make a military card. My son in law is in the Marines and we send goodies and cards when he is deployed so I made a card to send to him  during his next deployment. So here is a picture of the card and then I will tell you how I made it!

On this card I used Stand and Salute to cut the following cuts:
The state cut in the back round was cut at 4 inches and then I embossed it with the stars. Land of the Free was cut at 2.25 inches and I did it again using the shadow feature.I used stickles glitter glue on the  white wording to give it a little sparkle.
The flags were a cut from the Cricut Imagine cartridge Enjoy the Seasons and I cut them at 2.25 inches. I added gold stickles glitter glue to the poles and diamond glitter glue to the stars to give it a little sparkle. The flower is a cut from Cricut Imagine More. I am an avid Craft Room user so in craft room I separated the layers and deleted the original wording on this tag and using the ad a text box feature added my own wording 1 line at a time. My wordings .2 in size and the cut itself is 3 inches. I used stickles glitter glue to outline the layers. The card stock and ribbon are from my stash :)

Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to Card Creating Tuesday. This week it is Graduation Cards. On my card I used, A Child's Year, Paper Lace, Flower Shoppe and Graduation. Here is the Pic of my card.

For the Girl holding the book I used A Child's Year and the cut is at 3 inches I did the same cut using the shadow feature.
The flowers are 1 inch cuts from the Flower Shoppe Cartridge.
The scalloped oval is from Paper Lace and was cut at 4 inches. On this project I left the oval on my mat and using Craft Room I added lettering from Plantin School Book using the Chomas Gel Pen Holder and a gold gel pen.I have to say that it is a wonderful easy way to add perfectly formed lettering to your projects and so easy. The lettering was set at 1/2 inch. You can purchase the Chomas adjustable gel pen holder from Erica's Store. She also has a huge selection of Cricut Cartridges at really reasonable prices. The ribbon was also purchased from Erica. The rhinestones are Bo Bunny and the Flourish is Prima. The scroll was cut at 1 inch in the regular cut and the shadow cut. I used a gold shimmer ink pad to ink the scroll. I used a star embossing folder to emboss my back round and then carefully ran the gold ink pad over the embossing to create the gold stars. I outlined the oval with Perfect Pearls Petal Pink which are also available in Erica's Store. I know this isn't what people would normally think of as a graduation card but it will fit the outstanding young lady I made it for. I hope you enjoyed seeing my card! Please leave a comment I love hearing what you have to say. Don't forget to head back to My Cricut Craft Room to see all of the other great projects from my design team sisters!!
Have a great crafty day:)

Welcome to another My Cricut Craft Room 100 cartridge blog hop!!! You should have come from: Yvettes Blog and here is that link: http://gammascreativecorner.blogspot.com
For my project this month I used Create a Critter and Lori's Garden.
So here is the picture of my card:

My little panda is from the create a critter cartridge and is on page 58 in your booklet. I cut it at 4 inches and used the layering feature. Then I used Liquid Pearls to out line him a little bit. The tag is from Lori's garden and I did the design in Craft Room and removed the Thank-you from the tag and added in Happy Birthday. Cricut Craft room is an amazing tool to use. I love it! The butterfly  and little flower that the Panda is holding are both from Lori's garden. I also made the flowers. You can use any round scalloped cut to make them. Each one is 4 layers going down 1/4 inch with each layer. They are made the same way as my carnation on my previous post.
The beautiful fiberous cream paper with the shimmer is from Erica's Store so is the pretty green twine. I used a gel pen to do the faux stitching around the edges of the cream paper. I also inked the edges of the card stock with a Brillance Cosmic Copper ink pad that Erica had sent to me. I have to say it is my favorite ink pad and I will be purchasing some of those in the future!
Thank-you for hopping along with us! Be sure to check out Erica's Store for all the latest products and fabulous prices!! Next you should be going to:

Welcome to another card creating tuesday with My Cricut Craft room. Today it is all about carnations. So below is a picture of my project then I will tell you how I did it!

The cartridges I used on this project were Walk in my Garden and Paper Lace 2. The watering can was cut at 3 inches and I did use the layering feature on it. The cut is from Walk in my Garden and it is on page 104 in your booklet. The stems were cut at 3 inches so that I could insert them into the watering can. I cut them at the standard cut then again using the shadow feature. You will find them on page 103 in your booklet. I am sorry to say that I did not write down which cartridge the butterfly was from but any butterfly cut would work. I used Graffix clear craft plastic and you will have to use the multi cut feature set on 3 times. Now for the carnations. I used Paper lace 2 and the cut is on page 31 of your booklet. If you don't have that cartridge you can use any scalloped circle cut. I cut the scallops at 2 inches and each flower took 9 layers. After you do your cuts you will need to poke a hole in the center of each of them for your brad. Spray each layer with water to make them pliable and carefully place each layer onto your brad. Then gather each layer upward carefully and gather them up over your brad allow them to sit for about an hour to get that crinkled look. Then you carefully using the tool of your choice separate and pull down the layers until you get the look you want. Then allow to dry. The paper will get really stiff when dry. I used colored paper on 2 of the carnations and white paper for the purple one and sprayed it with Maya mist. I sprayed it after I had it shaped the way I wanted. Be sure to check out all of the great projects from my very talented design team sisters!! Here is the link to take you back :)

Welcome to Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room!
I had so much fun with this card. This week is all about Daisy's and to me they are Happy Flowers so of course I had to use a Peachy Keen Stamp on the flower centers.  I cut all the pieces for this card from The Walk in my Garden Cartridge. You will find the daisy on page 82 of your booklet. I cut them at 3 inches and layered 2 of them together to give the flowers a fullness. The flower center is on the same page and I cut it at 1.50 inches The stems were cut at 3 inches and were cut a 2nd time using the shadow feature. The flower pot is on page 91 and was cut at 3 inches and then cut again using the shadow feature. I then did a 3rd cut for the top of the pot to make the solid pink band. The cute little Lady bugs are on page 118 and I cut it at 1.50 inches and did it in 2 layers the base layer in black then the red layer. When I put the card together I used a action wobble on the center flower so that every time it is moved the  little bloom wobbles happily! I hope you enjoyed my card and please leave a comment! I love to hear from all of you! Be sure to go back to My Cricut Craft Room to see all of the great cards from my talented design team sisters!


Have a great craft filled day!
