July's 100 Cricut Card Hop

By

Hi friends!  Welcome to this month's 100 Cricut Cart Hop.  The design team at My Cricut Craft Room got to pick cartridges that they would like to create with.  I think we manage to all pick different ones so that is a ton of cartridges used in this hop and got very close to that 100 mark, lol!!! If you just happen to stop by and if you would like to start at the beginning, you can hop over to My Cricut Craft Room.

 The cartridges I chose are:
Lyrical Letters
Hannah Montana
Life's a Beach
A Child's Year
Stamping
Graphically Speaking

 My first project:
It is a very easy one and I used two cartridges... Lyrical Letters and Hannah Montana.
I needed a quick envelop to hold a CD of graduation pictures. I wanted something that was pretty and could be a keepsake gift (using school colors).  So using some pearl shine card stock and blue paper I made this...
  • Font cut at 2" with Lyrical Letters
  • Rose cut at 2.5" with Hannah Montana
For my second project is a fun one.  I just did an Explosion Mini Album for a swap.  I love the wow factor that I get with these and they are soooo simple! I have lots of pictures for you...

  • Summer- cut at 1.25" from Stamping cart
  • Memories- cut at .75" from Graphically Speaking

  • These images cut at 2.25" from A Child's Year 


  • These images cut at .5 to 1.5" from Life's a Beach 


  • Here are them all together including ones fro Stamping cart and Graphically Speaking 


  • Here are pictures of the inside of the album. Went with a summer theme throughout...






  • And here is the final product...



Thanks for stopping by for this month's hop.  Next is Shelly, see ya next month!
Here is the full lineup:

Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

By
Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room. Personally, I feel every crafter should have these starting out.  They make creating easy and fun!

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
