Welcome to January's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!


I created this teacher gift for my best friend who just started her first teaching job a few days ago. She is a PreK teacher :) My dream job! I saw this design a few years back on a Christmas ornament and I just had to make something that resembled it.

Close ups

I used Glossy Accents by Ranger on the pencil's eraser.

Tutorial

I first started off by cutting a sheet of red paper to 9 1/2 by 6 inches. I also cut out a piece of chipboard and glued it to the pack of the paper.

I then cut out a sheet of black paper (8 1/2 by 5 inches) and used my corner punch on the red paper.

I used my Crop-A-Dile II to punch the holes.

I also added chipboard on the cut outs. I then used Mod Podge.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Locker Talk (crayon and globe were cut at 2 3/4 inches, and pencil at 1 1/2 inches.)

                     Doodlecharms (apple was cut at 3 inches)

                     Nursery Rhymes (font used for her last name was cut at 1 1/4 inches)

                     Hello Kitty Font (font used to cut teacher was cut at 2 1/2 inches)

Cricut Circle Sisters Fall Blog Hop

I hope that you have enjoyed the hop so far. You should have come from Carolyn's blog, if not you can start from the beginning over at Kristen's blog, the host.

I can't wait for Fall to come because it's too HOT here in Houston! My favorite thing about the Fall season is when the leaves start to change colors.

I created this door hanger for my mentor teacher to put in her classroom. I always like making things for my mentors because they are helping me so much by allowing me to be in their classroom and teach their students. Yesterday ended my 1st week of student teaching and I am happy to say that I survived! I love my 3rd grade classroom, but the hardest thing so far is trying to learn 50 names!

 Close ups

I used 3 layers of chipboard for each leaf cut at 4 3/4 inches each.

I used 3 layers because I wanted it to be thick.

I painted the sides mixing Metallic Champagne paint by Folk Art and Nutmeg Brown paint by Apple Barrel together.

I used Mod Podge to seal the door hanger and I love the glossy look.

Materials used:

Cartridges: Designer's Calendar (leaves cut at 4 3/4 inches)

                   Storybook (letters cut at 2 1/4 inches)

Paper: All Seasons II  and Four Seasons by the Paper Studio

Ink: Walnut Stain Tim Holtz Distress Ink by Ranger

Gifts

As you can see, I am posting some projects that I have completed in the past months. My goal is to start posting more frequently because I love to share my creations.


I made a few things for my mentor teacher and my SWAT person (a classmate who we gave gifts/notes to encourage them throughout the semester. On the last day of class, we revealed ourselves.)

For my mentor teacher...

*I bought the apples at Michaels and glued them on ribbon

SWAT person...

I used Mod Podge on every single gift :)

Drummer Girl

I made this notebook for my cousin who is learning to play the drums.

This was the first time I used the YourStory and the Zutter Dreamkuts Machine to cut the paper for the inside of the notebook. I love it! They are both really easy to use. I put Mod Podge on all the cuts because I don’t want the paper to tear and it also gives it a glossy look.

Mod Podge

I made a frame and a door hanger for one of my sorority sisters using paper, tissue paper, and mod podge. I have never used mod podge and it was one of the easiest things to use. I usually always paint my wood, but since I always saw my sister using mod podge on paper, I figured that it would work on wood.
