May 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to May's 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop!  As always, there isn't 100 blogs to visit, but we do showcase 100 different cartridges overall.


You should have arrived from Kathy Jo's blog.  Want to start from the beginning, click here.




My three cartridges are:  Nifty Fifties, Campin Critters and Jolly Holidays.

I used Nifty Fifties to make the sewing machine, cut at 2.06 inches.  The mats were made using nestabilities. The sentiment is from Some Odd Girl.  

Campin Critters has so many adorable images!  It's hard to pick one to showcase.  I landed on the porcupine, it's too cute.  I cut the image at 2.76 inches.  The camp fire is from Create a Critter and is cut at 1.47 inches.  I used the gypsy to hide the facial features.  I inked my marshmallow to give it that heated look!  =)

Jolly Holidays has become one of my favorite cartridges to make Christmas cards with.  I cut my snowman at 4.41 inches.  The face is a Peachy Keen Stamp--snowmany faces.  I used a gel pen on his nose and pastel chalks on his cheeks.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Up next is Erica's Project.  

If you get lost along the way, here's the complete blog hop list.

Kraftin Kimmie's Michele

Here are a few images I've had colored and ready to go.  This is Michele from Kraftin Kimmie, she's quite the snazzy shopper!  I took the same image, made one a love card, one a birthday card and one general have a happy day card.

This sentiment comes with the image.

This sentiment is from The Angel Company.

This sentiment is from....um.....stampin Up I do believe! 

All of these cards are heading to Operation Write Home.

Have an awesome day!

Wreaths

Earlier this month I went on a four day crafting retreat in Ohio.  While I was there I made these two wreaths for my Grandma to hang on her door.

This wreath I first saw on pinterest and decided that I could easily do that!  It's a styrofoam wreath.  I cut red, white and blue felt into 2 inch squares.  I folded each square twice, then I pinned the felt to the wreath.  I did this over and over and over and over again until it filled started to fill in.  My stars were cut using the Cricut then glued to the felt using a glue gun.  It turned out fabulous!  

There was no inspiration for this wreath, it came from me!  I used light and dark green, white and pink felt.  Same as above, cut the felt into 2 inch squares, double folded and pinned onto the wreath.  The flowers were made using the Cricut (Art Philosophy cartridge).  I made the flowers three different sizes.  I inked the edges before I folded them.  I started with the four big flowers then filled in with felt and more flowers from there.  This wreath took me about 8 hours to make but was worth every minute once my Grandma told me how much she liked it.  =)

Have an awesome day!
