Hello fellow Cricut lovers!!  I hope you all have had a wonderful week.  So, this week I waned t to share with you some amazing projects using the fabulous Kate's ABC's Cricut cartridge.  This one is perfect for that feminine touch!!
 
 
Bad Hare day?  Look at this adorable card Meriah over at Tattered Time created!!  Isn't it just too cute?  I love embossing she did on the little girls dress, and the little patch of grass raised up!  Love this!!  She has a lot of fun projects using the Cricut, so make sure you head over and check out her work!!


And check out this amazing card one of our past designers created last year...maybe you recognize this card?  I couldn't resist and had to share it again!!  Cindy over at Cindy's Scraptastic Design did such a beautiful job on this card!!
 
 
And check out this super cute card created by one of my favorite crafters...Amy over at Scrapping Mommy.  Isn't that wagon so cute!!  I love all the little details she added to make this card extra special!! 
 
Happy Weekend everyone!!

FCCB #186: Ribbons & Buttons

Good morning everyone!

We hope you're having fun with our ribbons & buttons challenge this week!!  Here are a couple more projects for your inspiration!

First we have this super cute snowman card by Forgotten Scraps.  This card was made using the Winter Woodland cartridge.


Next we've got this darling purse made by Michele Kovack for Just Rite Papercraft Coffee & Friends. She used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge for this one.


Finally we have these wonderful cupcakes made by Amy at Scrappin Mommy.  She used the Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge.


Since we aren't focusing on a particular theme this week, I thought I'd remind you of a few of the new cartridges available!

When I Was a Kid


We'd love to have you join in the challenge if you get time!  Happy crafting!!

Thursday Tutorial with Michelle

Hi! Today I found my Cri-Kit embosser in a box of crafting supplies that was "unearthed" during a clean-up of my storage shed. I did make a project with it! Cri-Kit has such great products, and I'm going to order the mat to make my life easier when I want to emboss vellum. Here is the link to the Cri-Kit site. Take a look-







I used the wide tip on the embosser to create this tree from the Christmas cartridge. I did use an embossing mat from Spellbinders to put under the metal I used. I taped both of them to the mat so nothing would shift.  A paper piercer was used to add the star brad at the top, and regular crafting scissors to cut the tree from the metal sheet. The metal is so thin, its easy to cut. It was hard trying to show the embossing detail on a shiny surface.


Give this a try!

This would be a great addition to any card, mixed media project, or home decor project!
