For this weekends Blog Hop you will be able to see how to use 

over 100 Cricut Cartridges. I hope you have your note book out 

so, you can take notes of all the fantastic ideas my Design Team 

sisters have come up with for this weekends hop. 

For my first project I chose to use Hello Kitty Greetings & 

Tags, Bags, Boxes & more Cricut Cartridges. 

I used some glitter paper to cut out the Popcorn box at 6 1/2". 

This box can be found on page 131. The handle was cut at 2" 

wide by 8" long and was punched on both sides with a 

Martha Stewart paper edge punch.  Hello Kitty herself can

 be found on page 49 and was cut out at 3 1/2" I used some of

the glitter paper for the heart.  This little box would make a 

fun treat for any Valentine.

For my second project I decided to make a fun Valentines 

card that any chocolate lover would LOVE. 

If you can believe it I ended up using 4 Cricut cartridges on 

this one card.  I think this is the most carts I have ever used 

on one project. The card base came from the Mini Monograms

cart. I took the square on page 126 and welded 2 of them 

together on my Gyspy.  The card base is 5 X 5" and the pink

 background is 4 3/4 X 4 3/4". The Cupcakes are my all time

 favorite Cricut cupcake shape.  They come from page 108 and 

were cut out at 4" and 1 1/2". I embossed them with the swirl 

cuttlebug folder, poka dot folder and scored them upside down 

to give them the paper liner look. I then used brown and pink 

chalk to bring out the embossing. The LOVE cut comes from the

Home Accents solution cartridge. Love was cut at 2 1/2" with

the regular button and then again with the shadow feature. 

Chocolate was cut using the Hello Kitty font with the round

shape letter feature and welding the letter together on my 

Gyspy.  The letters for chocolate are 1/2" tall and 4 1/2" long.

The "I" is 1 1/4" tall. After lots of pop dots to give it lots of

dimension.  I of course had to get out my Bling and add 

a little sparkle to make the card shine.

Here is one last look at my "I LOVE Chocolate" card.

I hope you enjoyed my projects for today.  

So, if you have been reading all of the details you are

in for a treat. I am going to give away some "SURPRISE" 

Blog Candy for todays hop. Because I made you have to 

read all my details.  LOL.  I am just a detail giving person.

All you have to do is leave me a comment with a way to

get ahold of you and some truthful comments on how you

feel about my projects.  I love constructive criticism. If you 

would love to follow me that would be great but, it is not

required to enter. And it would be great if you could leave
