Good morning everyone, for todays' hop I had to incorporate 3 cartridges in my project, and I chose, Cricuts'   Straight From the Nest, Paisley, and Fancy Frames cartridges.  I decides to make a project for each cartridge.



The first project I made I used Art Philosophy cartridge co cut out a gift back with the fit to page feature, using white 12x12 card stock.  and everything else I used the Paisley cartridge.  I cut the bee on page 25 @ 2" and   the sentiment  "just be you" on page 70,@ the same.  I used papers from the Bo Bunny 6x6 Hello Sunshine pack.   I then cut a tag from page 25, added some Bo Bunny gems and yellow ribbon.








~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




the second cartridge was   Straight from the Nest.  I loved the card that is at the beginning of the booklet on page 7.  S I decided to do a card like it using Close To My Hear papers, My Reflections Sonoma.    I followed the instructions at the front of the book and this is how it came out.  It is a  7x6 card when finished.  



I cut the word Celebrate at 1 inch and ran i through my Xyron sticker maker and put it on the side flap.


Here is the inside of the card.. I used paisley cuts and border on the cartridge and for the slider because there is a paisly flower on the Sonoma papers.  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last, but not least  my third cartridge is Fancy Frames:




So I did a simple card using on of the fancy frames, I cut it at 4 inches and using  papers from Colorbok.  I cut the frame at 4 inches.  and then cut an oval from K&Co Julianne  6x6 pack.   then I added a small bird house from Cricut's Stretch Your Imagination cartridge at 1 1/2 inches and made a flower cut at 2 1/2 inches and leaves at 2 inches.  I cut the word Spring from Stretch your imagination and glued it to a chipboard piece, inked it with Tim Holtz walnut distress ink. lastly added some bling, and stickles.


here is what the car looks like on the inside.

These were my projects for today, hope you enjoyed them:)
