May's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Welcome to May's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have arrived from Lisa Carrier's blog.

My big sister from my sorority asked me if I could help her create some party bags for her son's birthday and she showed me a picture of some bags she found online. The theme of the party was the Fresh Beat Band. I had never heard of them, so I had to do a little research.

I made 12 bags for the party and my big said that everyone loved them :)

Cartridge Used

Art Philosophy (Circles cut at 4 1/2, 2, 1 3/4 , and 2 1/4 inches and Scallop cut at 3 inches)

Baby Boy

Two of my friends are pregnant and they just found out that they are having a boy. I made a card for both of them using my Imagine because I just got Baby Boutique and I couldn't wait to use it.

I added dimensions to make it pop.

I used  the CCR to design the card.

Get Whale Soon

One of my friends has had a cold for a few days, so I decided to make her a cute little bag filled with peppermints. Now that I am in school from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. it is hard for me to come home and craft, so I really like making something that is fast and easy.

I just love the Imagine because it makes crafting a lot easier. I knew that I wanted to make a bag and when looking through my Imagine cartridges, I noticed that the Imagine More Cards cartridge has Bonus Content that includes a few 3D bags. I fell in love with the colors on this bag and was glad that the sentiment/whale matched perfectly together. It took me less than 10 minutes to make!

*The bag was cut at fit to page and the whale at 3 inches

Hello Kitty Shrinky Dinks Charms

Good Morning and thanks for stopping by today!


I had to create 26 charms for a swap I joined in the Cricut Circle. The easiest way to create charms is to use Shrinky Dinks. When you use Shrinky Dinks the image/cut shrinks and thickens when placed in the oven.

Here is the charm that I created by printing/cutting out the image on my Imagine.

In order to be able to print out an image using the Imagine, you have to use the Cricut Craft Room (CCR).

Narelle, a fellow Circle member posted on the messageboard that she figured out how to print out an entire image using the Imagine and CCR. Check out her website to find out how to print out an image. I was going to show you on here, but she just did an amazing tutorial and I didn't want to take credit for it. (I just checked their website and since the CCR keeps getting updated, it's not allowing to print out a complete image on the Imagine right now, but it doesn't hurt to learn. Hopefully this feature starts working again.)

This is how it looks on CCR. (These are 3 inches each)

Once the images were printed, I let them dry for 2 hours because the ink was still wet. I then used my Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite to punch a hole on the top.

You have to punch the hole on them first because once the Shrinky Dinks harden, it's going to be too hard to do so afterwards. Next step is to place them on a tray and put them in the oven for 5 minutes.

Magic!

The color changed a bit, but I still like them because they're still Christmas colors. I don't know why they are ovals now, but I am still learning how to use Shrinky Dinks. The charms ended up being 1 inch each.

Stop by tomorrow for a wonderful Cricut Fall Blog Hop hosted by Kristen.

Circle Pal

I made these two cards for my circle pal. I didn’t want to post them up yet until she received her package, but since I had a few problems with the post office (not shipping it to the correct location and not notifying me), I figured that I can share them since she will be getting her package tomorrow I hope.

This is the 1^st package she sent me in December.



First Post!!!

This is my official first post and I started this blog so that I can share my projects with everyone. I hope that I can post a few times per week. I will be sharing with everyone my scrapbooking pages, cards, sewing and wood crafts, and projects that I have to do for my classes.  I also hope to start getting into challenges from the different blogs I follow. First challenge: Robyn’s Imagine That Wednesday’s Challenge. The challenge is to use any imagine cartridge and add bling to it.
