Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop Day 2

Next you should go to Jenn L

I am so excited to share with you 3 new projects. First off is my Chore Chart I created for my boys. This is especially coming in handy while I recover from my accident. I love it. Below is my grid for my chart. I used Vinyl on the entire project. Shown is white vinyl matted with red vinyl. (yes you can use paper too)(but you'll see why I chose vinyl) The lines are drawn on with a sharpie using a ruler. The squares are 1 1/4" and the grid is 18 wide by 11 1/2 tall.


Using the Chore Chart Cartridge I cut the days of the week out in vinyl at 1 1/4".


I then cut the symbol for each chore at the same height.


So why vinyl? Well because after I finished this I stuck it on my fridge and we used a whiteboard pen to write down who gets what chore. It is brilliant! Should have done this so much sooner!


 My next project is a cute gift idea for any disney lover. Who doesn't love Minnie? Using some random cardtsock and paper I had on hand as well as my In Stitch'z by Bazzill, I created a fun frame.


Using a template from In Stitch'z and some red floss I created this giant flower on the background paper.


For my finishing touches I added Minnie Mouse cut out with the Mickey Font Cartridge at 5 1/2". I added a few flowers and pearls on the inside as well as two on the outside for dimension. My finished 6x6 frame would amke any Disney fan happy.



And finally a cute lil card with some western flair. For this card I used Stampin Up paper, Rusty Pickle paper and cardstock along with ribbons, pop dots and a black Glaze pen (my favs).
The Cricut Cartridge I used is Old West. Such fun cuts! I cut out background Poster at 4" and cut the star at 2.5".  The horseshoe was cut at 2" and pop dotted for a 3D effect. I added some ribbon in the middle of the star and outlined "WANTED" with my black pen. This card is perfect for my next little buckaroo's party.

Erica's Craft Room 100 Blog Hop- Day Two

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

100 Cricut Cartridge Blog Hop

You should have come here from Erica's blog-http://ericasprojects.blogspot.com . If not, you will want to start at the beginning at http://MyCricutcraftroom.blogspot.com

My first project features Indie Art and Black Letter. It's a cool duct tape wallet for my son. Here are the pieces of duct tape fabric I made.

 Now I start to piece the duct tape fabric together. On the left side there are 3 pockets for cards and on the right side the clear I.D. pocket and hidden pocket. And of course don't forget the dollar bill pocket.

 I add the silver duct tape to create a nice border around the edges and use Cricut Vinyl to cut out the desired images I wish to use.

My son's initials are cut out at 3 inches using Blackletter. 

 And my son chose the exploding bomb from Indie Art for his wallet front. I cut it out at 3 inches as well and used silver for the shadow feature and black for the regular feature. He loved it...yay.

My next creation would make any sports coach whistle for joy. It's an altered clipboard. I started out with a 9x12 clipboard and the background paper "Cody Benchwarmer"by Love Elsie.

 Using Locker Talk, I cut a banner at 3 1/2 inches tall. I added #1 from Locker Talk to it and also Added a star from the Old West cartridge. I cut the star out of yellow cardstock at 3 1/2 inches and the shadow for the star out of white cardtsock at 3 3/4 inches.

For Coach I used the Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge and cut the frame in blue at 3 1/2 inches and then cut the whistle out in brown and yellow and the word coach out in red and pieced them all together.

I sealed the diecuts and board with Modge Podge and added some colorful ribbons to the top along with some buttons for added decor. I hope you enjoy my finished project.

Your next stop will be at Sheila's blog!
