Easter & Spring Cards . . . the Challenge Continues

Hey Crafters!  First of all thanks for checking out our blog.  We hope that you like what you see, and are inspired to do some crafting of your own.

Okay,  I am still working on making the most of my Cricut Cartridges.  Since Easter is so close I figured I needed to do some Easter/Spring Cards.  (Hopefully, I'll make it to the post office in a timely fashion).  So for this card making session, I used the Martha Stewart Cake - Seasonal Cartridge, French Manor Cartridge and Tinkerbell & Friends Cartridge, that's three cartridges used. 

This first card includes the bunny rabbit and the Happy Easter phrase from the Martha Stewart Cake Seasonal Cartridge.  The pattern paper is from a Recollections paper pack, but I'm not sure of the name. All other paper is from my paper stash.

This next card is using the same Martha Stewart Seasonal cartridge.  From the bunnies to the grass, all the images are from that same cartridge.  I just used the Cricut Craft room to re-size the bunnies and then fold down the middle.  Also I used a cuttlebug folder to give the bunnies some texture.

This is the last card using the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cartridge.  The sentiment is from a My Creative Time Stamp Set called Color Me Happy.

We used the French Manor cartridge again.  But I never said that repeats were not allowed.  It will just take me longer to get through my cartridges.  The stamped sentiment "Jesus Lives" is from a Inkadinkadoo stamp set. Card size is 3" x 4 1/2".

Who said using the same cut couldn't look different.  This is a standard A2 size card, we added the embossed wave/chevron piece on the side, and used a different sentiment from the Creative Time Stamp Set.

I just received the Tinkerbell & Friends cartridge.  Man oh Man does this cartridge requires a lot of layering with small pieces.  I will be making more stuff with this cartridge, I just need to mentally prepare myself for small pieces. The sticker sentiment came from my embellishment stash (pretty sure I got it on clearance at Joann's awhile back). 

Well, since we can't count French Manor again, we will cross of two more Cartridges from our challenge list.    Leave a comment telling us what you think of our craft projects or ask a question about anything you've seen.

Thanks for stopping by and

HAPPY CRAFTING

CRICUT CARTRIDGE CHALLENGE

You read right.  I am declaring a Cricut Cartridge Challenge . . . on myself.  You see, I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with a layout.  Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had a fair amount of cartridges to look through. 

Now I know that I am not in the same class as many when it comes to the number of cartridges.  But I have not even hit my 2 year mark with my circut machines.  To my surprise, I have 52 cartridges (47 physical and 5 digital).  I'm not saying that I don't make stuff and use the cartridges.  However, there are a few of them that I've looked through the booklets and not cut a thing.

So here's my challenge.  I going to list out all of my cartridges, and by summers end have used all of them in some type of crafting project.   I'm not even going to cheat and count the projects I've done last year.  So, join me in using those cartridges you have.  Leave a comment regarding the projects you see posted here, and let me know where I can see your projects.  Let's inspire each other to use our craftiness to bring smiles to others, instead of dust bunnies on our machines.

Starting things off, I have two new cards that are spring and Easter themed.  I used the Nursery Rhymes, French Manor, New Testament and Inspired Heart Cartridges to complete these cards.  

For this first card, I used paper from my stash, the inside sentiment sticker is from Creative Imaginations and the Cartridges being used are New Testament and Inspired Heart.

For this next card I used some Core'dinations Premium Card stock and DCWV 6x6 Everyday Paper Stack. The Cricut Cartridges being used are Nursery Rhyme and French Manor. The Embellishments were from  K & Company, Me & My Big Ideas, and the stamped sentiment I got from Oriental Trading.
