MCCR October 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day ONE

You should have started at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/ if not please start at the beginning.

 

Welcome to the 100 cricut cartridge Blog Hop:) For this months hop the four cartridges I chose to use were Wrap It Up, Art Philosophy, Happily Ever After and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art.

For the first project I used all four of the cartridges, the pumpkin and vines were from the Happily Ever After, the bat and cat were  from MS Seasonal Cake Art..the border, inside sentiment from Wrap it up and the card from Art Philosophy cartridge. I added a few Jolees embellishments, the cat has a sucker and the bat scooped up some candy:)

 

The second card is from Art Philosophy.

 

It was very simle but it makes a quick, nice looking card. I use the card function and cut the card out, which has starscut out, all I had to do is cut out some more stars in 3 different sizes and add shadows to them with colonial white card stock from Close to My Heart and I used the Sonoma papers. I then added a couple rhinestone diamonds an antique buttin embellishment and ribbin and Treny twine.

 

 

 

  On the inside I used the CTMH stamp "Life Is Good" anf the Desert Sand stamp pad and the Smokey Plum.  I also used the Fiskar corner punch. On the back side, I added a white heat cut out and stmped on it Handmade with love in light pink, for Breast Cancer awareness this month.  So that is it, thanks for stopping by.

MCCR Theme Day Thursday

Happy Thursday everyone!!  Today is Theme Day Thursday at My Cricut Craft Room, and it is my day to post a project.  Todays' project  is party elements...Invitations, decorations, and other things you would see and use at a Halloween themed Party.

     Before we get to my project I just wanted to mention the change in the "Theme day Thursday Banner and how it is  Pink.  For now and until October 15th, we will be displaying pink Banners as well as using pink in our projects in some way to remember  those who have suffered with Breast cancer and in honor of Breast Cancer awareness.

      Now for my project, I did not have any particular project in mind...no end point, no vision of what I was going to do for this.  brain freeze,  So I just grabbed come solid color card stock I got from Walmart, my Atg Gun, Gel pens and zig pen and used the cartridges that were in my Jukebox, and looked for Halloween images and let it take me where it would.   This is what I cam up with....

I made this project using 5 solid color card stock, orange, black, purple,bright green and white.  There is a witch hat centerpiece, a cupcake wrapper, a cup cake topper, a place card, an invitation and 3 popcorn treat boxes.

The hat was cut at 7" fro Artiste and the black base is a 7 " circle.  I adhered the green cone to the black base with Fabri-tac, because before it dried I put some frilly black ribbon around it to hide where it attached.  I then cut a strip of  white tuhle  and glued it on.  there are paper flowers cut from Art Philosophy and Artiste/  The Pumpkin was cut from Simply Scarecrow, but the face on it I got from Artiste.



  I cut the cup cake wrapper from Artiste, the one that had a spider web at the top of it.  I then put the stars that were cut from the hat onto it to decorate it a little.

And, of course you have to have a little cupcake topper... so I cut some zig zag circles and layered them with a spider and stuck some balloons on tooth picks with liquid glass, to hold them up.

 I love the little popcorn boxes you can cut with the Artiste cartridge.  they are just the right size at
 4 1/2" to put a few little goodies in.. I had bought some chocolate for when I made this to decorate, but I ate it, I am a chocoholic!  I added the names of my grandchildren on each box so I can surprise them when they come over.  I also added some Jolees Candy corns , to embellish them.

Here is the table Place card....there is a spot on the back to write a name, I think it is cute:)

This is the invitation...the card was cut from Art Philosophy.  the sentiment was from Artiste as well as the jagged edged shape.  the Black dripping goo is actually an Icicle cut from Martha Stewart Seasonal CakeArt.

This is the inside of the card.  Love the Boo!

Well we are nearing the end of today's post, but before I go I wanted to show you my Pink.
I added a dimensional sticker on the back of one of the pop corn boxes/  It has pink Ink and pink rhinestone in the middle.   I hope this post was not too picture heavy for you, I really like how it came out for not really having a plan.
