November 100 Cart Hop

 Welcome to 

the

My Cricut Craft Room

100 Cartridge

Blog Hop

November 3rd & 4th

If you are arriving from Jenn Lorist's 's Blog, then you are on the right track.
If you need to start from the beginning, please head over to
My Cricut Craft Room.

This month we got to choose 4 Cricut Cartridges that we wanted
to use on our projects again.
I chose to use:
Elmo's Party,
Over The Hill,
Pretty Pennants,
and Cricut Classic Font.

I decided to do a fun Christmas Layout
now that Halloween is over.
I started with a white base
and began making my cuts.

 The pennant banner  layers were cut
from Pretty Pennants at 3" from Cream and Green
Card Stock.

The word JOY was cut from Cricut Classic Font
at 1 1/2" from Green and Red Card Stock.
I added 3 rhinestones to each letter.

 The photo mats were cut using my trimmer.

The small music notes were cut from
Elmo's Party at 3/4" from black and cream card stock.

 The small green envelope, holding the snowman tag,
was cut from Over The Hill at 3" from a Green Card Stock.

The snowman was inked with Ranger Embossing ink
then heat embossed using Green Powder.
The image and sentiment stamp is a Unity Stamp Itty Bitty
by Artist Susan Weckesser
(Love <3 Her)

The small snowflake charm is one
of many I have purchased from
Pamela Horton - she is my Go To Gal
to get all my Charm Fixes (LOL)

(sorry for the slight glare in the center...the chipboard pieces are
a little glossy and the flash must have hit it just right)

I added a few chipboard Christmas candies, holly, and candy canes
to add a little extra Holiday Cheer.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Now you will head over to Erica’s Blog Candy.

Theme Day Thursday - Religious Cards

Welcome To

Today's Theme

at My Cricut Craft Room

is 

Religious Cards

I struggled a bit after I signed up for this week's

Theme Day Thursday.

I had planned on using some of the

religious script stickers

in my stash,

but I didn't think about 

which Cricut Cartridge I would use.

Oy Vey!!!

So I scoured my collection, which only

took a brief moment...LOL,

and the light bulb

began to shine above my head!

Over The Hill Cricut Cartridge

<insert bright light>     

This cartridge has some fun cuts.

I was particularly drawn

to the Gate Fold card, that 

literally has a Gate Layer.

I cut the base layer (card) using a cloud/sky design card stock.

For the top layer (gate), I used a shimmery silver card stock.

Both were cut at Fit To Page (7 inches)

There were some extra
swirls near the lower valleys of the top edge
of the card.  
I trimmed them to make this look a little less, spooky.
 
To decorate the inside of the card,

I used a vellum Scripture sticker by Creative Imaginations,

a fun Cherub resin I got from a very sweet

friend, Heather Flaherty of I Heart {ippity},

and a fancy Bling Swirl from 

Want2Scrap.

 

When I cut the Belly Band that 

accompanies the card,

I also did Fit To Page (7 inches).

When  scoring it to fit around the card,

the two ends didn't match up on the back.

I guess that is  the reason 

there was a little red 3" marked in the booklet.

(that'll teach me)

I looked at the bright side

and figured this gave me an opportunity

to play with some of my ribbons and fibers

that get neglected sometimes.

I found a fabulous feathery white fiber

in my stash to bring the two ends together.

I used my hole punch

to create small holes to feed the fiber through.

I chose to tie the ends in the front,

 rather than the back like instructed

(Rebel, I know...ha ha ha)

Now, be sure to stop over to
