Kricut Krazy Design Team

-

I have the honor and privilege to help a friend out on her blog & I am so excited! Her goal is to create the sample projects for each of the Cricut cartridges. She owns a bunch of them, but is still missing a few & that is where the special guest designers come in. We get to help her achieve her goal by filling in the gaps.

The first project I am doing for her is this "Tweetheart Card" from the Straight From The Nest cartridge. The booklet calls for a series of green, cream, pink, & yellow papers and ribbons... well, those aren't really my favorite colors, so I decided to work with what I had and went with black, white, and silver. The project was actually very easy to do and the instructions were very straight forward. I used my Fiskars Rotary Cutter and my Martha Stewart Score Board to make sure all the pieces were properly measured and scored. I also used my ColorBox Cat's Eye pigment ink in black to ink the edges of my paper pieces (I used paper instead of cardstock on the card, using cardstock for the base & for the Cricut cuts). The finished project is a 7"x6" gatefold card. Hope you like it!

I am also able to use this project as I work to complete my personal challenge! Yay!

Stay tuned - I will also be doing projects for Forever Young, Zooballoo, & New Arrival in the next few days.

    I very much like the black and white card. It gives a nice crisp appearance. I am curious about the paper used, by whom was it made?

    Thanks for stopping by Dakota! All the paper was from the All-Occasion Ultimate Stack from DCWV. Thanks again!

It's that Time! The Pursuit for 250 Followers!

I have a plan & I need your help to make it happen. I am on a journey to reach 250 followers. I promised that when I reached 250 followers, I would give away a Cricut cartridge. Well, I am holding to that promise & I am taking it up a notch. SO FAR , I have 2 cartridges to give away - brand new, in the package, reward points in tact, never synced to a Gypsy. So, the plan is this - when I reach 250 followers , I will use a giant bowl (easiest method with all the entries I hope to get) to pick the lucky winner who will get to choose which of the 2 cartridges they would like to have. If I reach 350 followers in that same week , I will pick another winner and they will get to have the other cartridge. Sounds fair enough right? So how do you win? 1. You must be a follower of my blog - that's the whole point of all of this right? 2. Leave a comment on this post to let me know that you are supporting me in my quest to 250 followers. But, I think these things work

Using all the Cricut Cartridge Images - even the catridges you don't have!

A little while ago I figured out a way to utilize the entire Cricut cartridge library without owning all of the cartridges. I posted a few pictures & promised to come back with the details – and here they are! … interested in hearing more? Well read on to learn how to get this wonderful Elmo image & many more! To do this wonderful trick, you start with your desired image in Design Studio. Here, I am working with an Elmo image from Sesame Street Friends. Here is the base for Elmo. I right-clicked on the mat to change the preview color to black. I added a layer (reordering it to be placed in front of the base layer by right-clicking and selecting "Page Order") using the "Body/White" function key to add Elmo's fur. I changed the preview color to red. On that same function, I pressed the shift key to add Elmo's eyes. Placing this layer in front of the others and changing the preview color to white. I added a 4 th layer (using page order to "Bring
