February's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

If you are looking for the Ticket to Love Blog Hop click here.

Welcome to February's 100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop!!!

You should have arrived here from Sue-ann's Blog.

Here are my cards :)

eye <3 U

I got the idea for this card by someone who posted their card on Pinterest. I love Pinterest!!! If you haven't checked out Pinterest, you need to! Leave me your email address and tell me you want me to send you an invite.

Inside

I used my Gypsy so that it would be easy for me to cut the circle. I first selected the card I wanted and then I selected the monster. I placed the monster where I wanted it and then I placed the circle. I then deleted the monster and made my cut.

Materials Used

Cricut Cartridges: Mini Monsters & Wild Card

Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink Worn Lipstick

Stamp: Love Always by Pink by Design

Paper: Valentine's paper from Target's $1 section :)

Winnie the Pooh and Friends

Mini Tutorial

I cut my heart cards using the Wild Card cartridge and used distress inks around it.

I love the Disney cartridges, but it takes forever to make all of the cuts and glue them together.

I used Action Wobbles.

Wobble in action!

Can you see the Action Wobble?

Materials Used

Cricut Cartridges: Pooh and Friends (Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore cut at 3 inches and Piglet cut at 4 inches)

Wild Card (heart card cut at 4 ¾ inches)

Ink: Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick and Dusty Concord Distress Ink

Stamp: Love Always by Pink by Design

And now for a GIVEAWAY!!!

I hope you survived this long post!!! I am giving away one of my Cricut Vinyl Figures and 5 Action Wobbles. When I ordered some vinyl figures, I got two of the plum ones. When you order these online, you don't get to pick which colors you want, but I got lucky because this was the only double I got.

How can you WIN?

Just leave a comment and check back on Tuesday, February 7th to see if you WON.

You don't need to be a follower, but I would love it if you were.

This is my collection :) I haven't seen the other colors out yet. My favorite one is the Pink one of course!!!

Your next stop is Sherri.

Thank you for stopping by!

Congratulations Pop-Up Card

Hello everyone! I was excited to finally be able to use my Everyday Pop-Up Cards cartridge because I bought it a long time ago and never used it.

I had to figure out how to make the lady pop-out without folding her in half. It took me a while to figure it out, but I think that this was the right way to put her on the card. I thought that the booklet was going to come with instructions, but it doesn't.

On Saturday my line sisters and I reunited and went out to dinner. Most of us graduated already, so we never get to see each other. It was a night full of surprises! One of my sisters got engaged a few hours before dinner and one of them found out that she was pregnant 4 days ago. I felt very lucky to be able to be one of the first ones to hear the news. I created this card for my sorority sister who is pregnant. I used our sorority colors (pink & purple), since she doesn't know if it's going to be a boy or girl yet.

This is the front. I used pop dots for the sentiment.

The Inside

Another view of the inside.

This is how it looks when it's closed.

Mini Tutorial

Once I glued the lady on the shadow, I added tacky tape (red tape) on the flaps that are folded.

I also cut out pieces of the cardstock that I used and glued it on the flaps because I wanted it to blend in with the card.

I then removed the backing to the red tape and taped it down.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Everyday Pop-Up Cards (lady cut at 4 3/4 inches)

Lacy Labels (label on the front cut at 4 inches and the one inside the card at 3 inches)

Holiday Cakes (sentiment cut at 1 inch)

Stamp: Sweet Baby by My Pink Stamper

Ink: Dusty Concord Distress Ink by Ranger

Paper: Summer Song by My Mind's Eye

Ocean Animals

I really enjoyed using the Splish Splash cartridge because the cuts just have 2 layers! I love using cartridges that only require 2 layers, but still look elegant.

All 3

I used the Cricut Craft Room to weld my labels together to create a card.

I used this cut for the pattern paper.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Splish Splash (turtle and octopus cut at 3 1/4 inches and dolphin cut at 3 inches)

Lacy Labels (used the Cricut Craft Room)

Stamps: Enjoy the Journey by Pink by Design

Paper: Best of Damask by My Mind's Eye

I created this card using the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. I just love Hello Kitty and I was never a fan of real cats until I got one of my own.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Hello Kitty Greetings (HK cut at 3 inches)

Mini Monsters (broom cut at 3 inches)

Paper: Halloween by We R Memory Keepers

Stamp: Spooky Puns by My Pink Stamper

Ink: Tim Holtz Dusty Concord and Walnut Stain Distress Ink by Ranger

Other: Glossy accents by Ranger (used it on the moon and tree)

Unfortunately, I only had my kitty for about 6 months because I moved back home with my parents and my mom is not a fan of cats. I found her a great home to live at.

She was best friends with my chihuahua.

Whoever said that cats and dogs can't be friends?

Pretty much all my babies ever did was sleep :)

A friend of mine did catch me and them sleeping together one time when I came home tired from working in the Preschool. I didn't even know that the picture was taken until one day I was looking through the pictures in my cell and found it. I love this picture, but I miss my kitty :( You can tell how tired I was because I didn't make it to my pillow.
