June 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have started at  http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ if not please start at the beginning.We have loads of cute projects for you today!

Today my project is a layout for my Goddaughters scrapbook.  This will be the very first page of her book. Used Songbird for the font, because I love the semi-cursive font. Then I used Storybook for the large center medallion. I find that it's my go to cart for these types of shapes. I cut the stars from Doodletype because I like that they are not the perfectly symmetrical ones.  I used Best Creations glittered cardstock, which is one of my favs because it doesn't shed. 

Your next stop is Heather F!

It's Design Team Tuesday with Shabby Chic Stamp Co. Today I have a simple card made with the Father's Day set. Isnt' this cute?

I do like this set, although it's a bit early to think about Father's Day Cards. I'm still trying to get to Mother's Day!

Happy Crafting.

The Letter of the Day

Today at My Cricut Craft Room the letter of the day is S. So I made this seascape centerpiece using Life's a Beach.

 My goddaugher is having her first birthday in a few weeks, and the theme is Under the Sea. I think this will go perfectly.

To see more projects that begin with S please visit My Cricut Craft Room. 

Happy Crafting!

You should have started at  http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ if not please start at the beginning.We have loads of cute projects for you today!

My project today is a thank you card using Preserves, Sentimentals, and Just Because Cards. 

I used paper from the DCWV Nanna's Nursery stack for this one. The watermelon is cut at 2.5" from Preserves and it takes a while because it has 4 layers. The tag from Sentimentals. I made the white tag inset by cutting the tag 1/2 smallers and then using scissors to trim off one end. The phrase is from Just Because Cards.

WYEGW with My Cricut Craft Room

It's WYEGW on My Cricut Craft Room again and I have a project for you! Today I have a father's day card that I made using the rectangle feature on Base Camp and a tie from Paper Dolls Dress Up.

I saw an SVG card like this and though, I can do that with my Gypsy.
You can make this using any cartridge that has a rectangle on it. I would try to explain, but I think it would be easier to show you.

This is a screen shot from my Gypsy of the base (blue) part of my card. 

This is the front (striped) part of the card. 

This is the collar and tie. I pop-dotted the collar to give the shirt more dimension. All of these are the same rectangle. I just adjusted the size using my Gypsy and welded them together.

Happy Crafting!

Design Team Tuesday with Shabby Chic Stamp Co.

I love the Build a Bouquet stamp set from Shabby Chic Stamp Co. It is so adorable. And it's perfect for paper piecing! Check out the cute card I made.

Isn't this cute? I used paper from the DCWV Nanna's Nursery stack. Paper Piecing is a great way to use up all your little scraps of paper. Just stamp onto your patterned paper and cut out. No coloring required. 

Happy Crafting!

Christmas in April?

Yes, that's right, it's the 25th of the month and that means Christmas for My Cricut Craft Room. So I am getting a jump start on those Christmas Cards, lol.

This is one of those use up your scraps cards. I've really been working on using my scraps instead of cutting into new pieces of paper because I just can't stand to waste pretty paper! I took scraps of Christmas and solid paper and cut them into 1x4.5" strips and glued them to my card base. Then I cut out Merry Christmas from Wildcard at 3.5" and glued that on. I wanted a little more interest so I added two different ribbons, and easy card! Not everything has to be super complicated to be cute.
