Welcome!
Woo Hoo! It's the September Blog hop! Its amazing how fast time has gone since I have become a My Cricut Craft Room Design Team Member! I have traveled well outside of my box and really expanded my horizons and crafting time. So thanks for coming and checking out my projects :)
First card I made is a Never Ending card. These cards are so fun! And even better, they are sooo easy to make! If you haven't tried to make one, I highly recommend it!
I made the card using glittered card stock and cut all of the details from the Celebrations Cricut Cartridge. There are so many fun party cuts on this cartridge!
Here is the front of the card..
Then you open it up vertically from the center..
The writing and music notes I made using a white gel pen.
Then you open it horizontally from the center..
Then you open it vertically from the center again..
Then you get the back of the card..the fun thing is you then open it horizontally from the center again..and you end up back on the front!
Like I said, its easy and fun..everyone loves getting this type of card, they think its a magic trick! LOL
My next project I made using the Calligraphy Cricut cartridge. I cut out the letters I wanted from 1 sheet of card stock and used the negative images left after removing the letters.
I then taped it onto my rock and used it as a stencil to paint it.
SUPER EASY! And it looks expensive! LOL
Wouldn't it be cute to do this on bricks to give to family and friends for gifts. I think I have a perfect soon to be married couple that will be receiving one! Probably should put their last name and not ours though! LOL
And last but not least..I signed myself up to make something with the Sugar and Spice Cricut cartridge. I again have owned this cartridge for quite awhile but never did more than look at the booklet after I got it. So what better way to get myself to use it then sign up for a challenge and make myself use it! LOL
I used the multi layered tag from the cartridge, embossed 2 layers and glued them all together.
I made slots in the card thatched the slots on the tag. Then threaded the ribbon through and tied with a bow in the center.
I then added a sentiment from a stamp set that I have onto the center of the tag.
The little rattle that you saw on the front of the card is actually the piece punched from the interior of the card. It was too cute..I couldn't just throw it away!
The entire card was made using only shades of purple! Now that was a challenge all on its own!!
*BONUS*
So while making the tag card, I fell in love with the stork that is also on the Sugar and Spice cartridge. So I decided to make a couple of simple cards as back ups..we have LOTS of little babies coming in the next few months so I have to start stocking up! LOL
This is what I came up with..
Simple cards are new to me..I have always made complex cards that take me hours and hours to complete, but a friend of mine encouraged me to try simple. I have to admit, I am slightly addicted! I made 5 cards in less time that it usually takes me to make 1!! AWESOME!! UNBELIEVABLE! I cant wait to make more!!
Thanks for stopping by..don't forget to leave me a comment..I love comments!

Oh these projects are great! I love the rock idea. I just might have to use this myself. My 6 year old would be all over this... I so understand to pick the cartridges that you have not used because I did the same thing for this hop. I picked three that have been waiting for me to be used and I finally did!
