St. Patty's Day Cricut Card

 Here's a fun St. Patty's Day card for you!  Actually, you could send this anytime someone had something good happen to them.

I can't believe how fast March is flying by and the holidays are just stacked up against one another.  Two weeks until Easter!  YIKES!

I love this fun Leprechaun from the Simply Charmed Cricut cartridge.  If you are a fan of the Create a Critter cartridge, I suggest you check out Simply Charmed because it's got lots of cute images and sayings.  LOVE IT!

Cuts:
- Leprechaun - From Cricut Simply Charmed Cartridge cut at 3.5"
- "Lucky Day" - From the Cricut Stamping Cartridge cut at 1.25"
- Scalloped Circle card - From Cricut Life's A Party cartridge cut at 5.5"
- Inner yellow Circle - From Cricut Plantin' Schoolbook Cartridge cut at 5"

I tried to get this side view so that you could see that the dark green is actually glitter paper. I also used some Stickles on the buckle and coat.  My friend Lisa LOVES Stickles and has shown me the light of how much they can enhance a project.  This one's for you, Lisa!

I admit that I messed up the gold Stickle section by getting it inside the buckle part.  So, after I tried to scrape it off, which didn't work, I pulled out my black Stickles and put a big glob in the center so it looked good again.

Check out the Close to My Heart March stamp of the month above!  Super cute and just $5 after a $50+ purchase at joytracey.ctmh.com!

Hello Thursday! July Cartridges - Simply Charmed, Country Life, Winter Frolic, Happy Hauntings, Rock Princess

It's Hello Thursday again and that means NEW Cricut Cartridges!

The cartridges being released this month are:

Cricut Simply Charmed - whimsical and seasonal!
Cricut Country Life - Farm life extraordinaire!
Cricut Winter Frolic - my new favorite Christmas/Winter cartridge!
Cricut Happy Hauntings - Tricks and treats await!
Cricut - Rock Princess - a teenage girl cartridge!

Something to know about these cartridges:  They all have amazing layered word art - the best yet!  I especially love the Halloween and Christmas word art - every saying is fantastic!

Onto the projects:

Cricut Country Life

The strawberry and "berry sweet" are both from this new cartridge.  The scalloped circles and regular circle are from Mini Monograms.  Paper is by My Minds Eye.  Ribbon by Papertrey Ink.

Cricut Winter Frolic

Non-traditional Christmas colors work great with this bird in a tree! I loved this image the moment I saw it and it paired perfectly with the "noel" word art also on the cartridge!  This is going to be a heavily used cartridge in my house.  I thought nothing could replace Winter Woodland in my heart but this new one has!  Wait until you see the word art!  Love it!

Cricut Happy Hauntings

This cartridge has a whole row of different 3-D projects and I thought this frame was super cute!  I cut it at 7" and just used adhesive along the edges so I could add my photo in later.  It was extremely easy to assemble and I used chipboard for the back layer and for the frame support to give it strength.  The "Boo!" word art was cut at 2".  There is fabulous word art on this cartridge with all kinds of different fonts.  Paper by Basic Grey and DCWV.

Cricut - Rock Princess

I decided to make this word art (she's a firecracker) a little more 4th of July thematic.  It pairs perfectly with the stars images on this cartridge, as well as the "stars" Cuttlebug folder.
