Card Creating Tuesday With My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to another Card Creating Tuesday With My Cricut Craft Room!!

This week it is all about boy cards! Here is the picture of my card and then I will give you all the information on what I used to make it!

For the little convertable I used Cricut Lite Beep Beep. As you know the lite cartridges don't come with booklets  but I cut the car at 2 inches and used all the layering features. The Teddy Bear is from a childs year cartridge and was cut at 1.75 inches and cut again using the shadow feature.I did the project in Cricut Craft Room so I was able to remove all the facial features so that I could use a Peachy Keen Cute and Cuddly face stamp.  The football and baseball are from Sports Mania and they were cut at 1 inch and I again used the layering feature.

The Pennants are from the Art Philosophy Cartridge and were cut at .75 inches and again in the shadow feature. I love doing things in layers because it gives them more dimention. I also use liquid pearls and or Stickles Glitter Glue to define things a little more or give it sparkle. You can find the liquid Pearls and Glitter Glue in Erica's store here is the link to the

The twine is doodle twine and is available in Erica's store in a wide variety of colors!! Here is the link to the

If not you will want to go back !! We wouldn't want you to miss any projects on the way!!
Here is my project for the hop with one of my favorite little ones as the star :)

I used several cartridges on this layout. I used Nate's ABCs for the blocks and I cut those at 1.50 you will find the block cuts on each one of the pages in your booklets according to the ABC's. I cut the blocks first in the ABC's to spell out Patrick and then again in the solid blocks to layer them. I did the project in Cricut Craft Room so I was able to use the Hey Diddle Diddle cartridge to fill the solid blocks with a cute pin wheel print. The ball is on page 55 in your booklet and I did the standard cut and then the blackout cut and layered the blue on top of the red.
 on Nate's ABC's I cut the wagon at 2.00 and then went into the layering features for the wheels. The wheels are tiny and I found the best way for me to pick them up and place them was with the pic in my cricut tools!! I gently poked them with the sharp tip and placed them.The wagon is from Kate's ABC's but after using that cartridge I see the same cut on Nates ABC's
The cute little birds are from Campin Critters cartridge and you will find them on page 33 of your booklet. I cut them at 1.25 and once again used the layering feature. You will once again have some tiny cuts to work with and I used my cricut tool pic again. After cutting all of the layers and putting them together I decided it needed to be more defined to stand out on the page so I used the shadow feature and black card stock to make it pop. The shadow will cut with the a spot for the musical notes to go so what I did was put it all together then trim off the the part I didn't want to use.
The frame is from Fancy Frames and I cut it at 8 inches tall the width will automatically proportion itself. Even though the picture is a 5x7 when I did the cut at 7 inches it covered a portion of the photo and frankly my little great nephew is too darn cute to cover up so I went 1 inch larger and it was perfect. I once again did this cut in Cricut Craft Room and used the Hey Diddle Diddle cartridge to flood it with the Pin wheels print to match the blocks. The All Boy Sticker and the Photo Corners are from DCWV and are available for purchase at Erica's Craft Room store You will also find a huge selection of cartridges as well as the latest trends in paper crafting!!

My Imagination Monday With My Cricut Craftroom

Welcome to My Imagination Monday with My Cricut Craft Room!

I chose to do a Magnetic Note Board for my craft room. I have had the magnet board sitting on a shelf mocking me for a couple of months so it was time to bite the bullet and show it who is boss. So first I will post the picture then tell you how I did it:)

The first thing I did was tear a piece of black magic paper to create the backround. I used an adhesive spray glue to spray the metal 12x12 sheet and carefully placed the paper on it and set it aside to dry. Then I pulled out my Word of Mouth  Imagination cartridge and found the large center cut that was perfect for what I wanted and the saying was fitting.  You will find the cut on page 23 of your booklet. I did the cut at 11 inches. I then used Stickles Glitter Glue and Liquid Pearls to give dimention and bling to the cut. You can purchase the Stickles here at Erica's Store as well as the cartridges I have used!! Then I set it aside to dry and cut my butterfly magnets at 2 inches from Lori's Garden but I did use Spring Chic to change the colors and patterns on the butterflies. I added Stickles glitter glue to the butterflies to dress them up a bit and set them aside to dry. While the butterflys dried I adhered the Being Creative cut to my base papers and gave it a protective coat of Modge Podge. After that dried I added the ribbon then placed it in a 12x12 scrapbooking frame but did not use the glass. Then I bent my butterflies to make them look like they were in flight and used a glue dot to adhere the butterflies to the magnets. Now I can look up at that magnet board and see:

Being Creative means not being afraid to fail

It is fitting and so true!

Sorry that the picture looks wavy :) It really isn't but the shine gave it that effect when I was shooting the pictures :)

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday with My Cricut Craft Room

Hi everyone and welcome to Would you ever guess with my cricut craft room! I chose to go with the brads or eyelets option for my post :) If you own the ITop tool but could not get the punches did you know there is a cut on Walk in my Garden that works perfectly! Yes it is true! Even though I do own the punches I prefer the cricut cut!  So first here is a picture of the finished layout.

O.k pictured below is the I Top Tool  and the small I top brads.

The cut that you see in the picture below is the daisy cut from walk in the garden. You will find that same flower on many cartridges. I did the cut at 1.25 inched. Then a trick I learned from Erica..run the cut through a sticker machine it keeps that in place perfectly while you are putting on the back of your brad. You can use that same cut in larger sizes for your larger brads. So if you can only afford the I top tool then go for it!! Here is a link to the tool in Erica's Store

I Top Tool

I also used the same daisy cut at 2 inches to make my flowers. The cut is on page 85 of the Walk in my Garden Booklet. I then ran the flowers through my cuttlebug using the Swiss dots embossing folder. Here is the link to the folder in Erica's Store.

Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Embossing Folder

I then put a light coat of  3D Crystal Lacquer on the flowers to give them a light shine. I used stickles glitter glue on the brads and through out the layout to give it bling! Here is the link to the Stickles in Erica's store.

Stickles Glitter Glue

The crown cut is from Once Upon a Princess and was cut at 2.25 inches in the base and shadow cuts. That cut is on page 53 of your booklet.

Here is the link to the cartridge.

Once Upon a Princess

Then I used some bling from Erica and stickles on the crown. It wouldn't be a crown without the bling!!!

You can use Stickles and Liquid pearls on any paper or embellishment to give it dimension or a little glitz :)

Well that is my project in a nut shell. I hope you enjoyed it! I would love to hear from you so please leave a comment and if you are not a follower on my blog I would love to have you become one! If you have a blog I will follow you in return!! We crafty people need to support each other! Now to see some more projects from my Talented Design Team Sisters please go back to:

Card Creating Tuesday with My Cricut Craft Room

Welcome to another Card Creating Tuesday with

My Cricut Craft Room.

This week is all about kids birthdays!

On this card I used the following cartridges:

Once Upon a Princess, Birthday Bash, Lifes a party, Celebrations and Yummy.

Here is my card and I will give you all the details on these cuts as well as links to some of the great products that were used from Eric'a store! All the links will be in a different color from the post so you will just have to click and presto you will be in a paper crafters heaven!

 Birthday Girl is a cut from Once Upon A Princess and I did the cut at 2 inches in layers. You will find the cuts on page 34 of your booklet. The lady bug is from Birthday Bash and she was cut at 3 inches in 2 layers. You will find her on page 64 of your booklet. I did her face using Peachy Keen stamp set PK-495. Then added Stickles Glitter Glue to give a little bling. The crown cut is from Life's a Party and was cut at 1 inch in 2 layers and I used Stickles on the crown as will as some rhinestone stickers which Erica provided from her store. The balloons are from celebrations which is an older cartridge and I am sorry I don't have the book. But they were cut at 1.25 in shadow and in the standard cut. The twine is Doodle Twine in lilac. The ribbon I used is Bo Bunny. The cupcake is a cut from Cricut Imagine Yummy Cartridge and is on page 4 of your booklet. I did the cut at 3 inches in layers instead of as 1 piece. I also went in and changed the design on the cupcake wrapper. I do most of my projects in Craft Room because there are so many options available. It is a wonderful free tool. I think that wraps up this card. I tried to make it easy for you to find the products in Erica's Store by providing links to each product. Thank-you for stopping in and I love to hear from you so please leave me a comment!! 

Have a wonderful crafty day!!
