Card Creating Tuesday!

Well, it's card day! I have been using my Cricut so much that I have ignored my other love, stamping.  So this week I wanted to combine the two.  I have a few cards to share and some are stamped with Cricut embellishments added. 

The first on is from Pagoda. Just a simple flower to set off my Christmas Rose card.   The stamp set is from Stmapin' Up!, I used watercolors to color the image and a yellow skittle for the flowers center.



Next up is From My Kitchen.  Just a little card to send to a friend!  The background paper is from DCVW.


Last but not least, is a pop card that I used Plantin School Book on.  I think sometimes I try to over embellish, and often, simplicity is best.  I used the rectangle and the circle cuts from Plantin to give me the mats and base for my card.  Each chef is water colored and glitter pens were used as well.  The stamps and the papers are from Stampin' Up!

Cricut Craft Room November 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!



If you have found your way here, you are following Erica's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop from mycricutcraftroom.com.  Today is day two of the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop!    You should have come here from  http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/
I LOVE FROM MY KITCHEN!!!!!!!!
What a fun, almost retro feeling cartridge!  I made these 12 x 12 pictures for my kitchen, mainly because I love the words on this cartridge.  They are so much fun!
I used a white pen to make the stitching on each word.
Meal Time was the only one that I used the shadow feature for, I think the other ones stood out enough on their own.
I did use Crayola glitter paper on each one to tie them together and make them unified in some way.  Bright colors add zing to any room, and since my kitchen is boring ol' beige, this should do the trick for sure!  Enjoy!









Ya tired yet?! I hope not! Here's the complete line-up of this hop in case you get lost! You should head on over to:
