For todays project Jenny sent all of the Design Team

some Timeless Twine to use.  I choose to make a very

simple Happy Birthday card. I cut out the cow from 

the Create a Critter cartridge at 3 inches. I used a 

Martha Stewart paper punch for the bottom of the 

card. I choose to use the cherry red / white twine 

for the wrap around and bow. The Happy Birthday

stamp is a simple $1.00 Studio G stamp. You got to 

love those $1.00 stamps.

Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's 100 Cricut Cartridge

Blog Hop Day 2 for September. You should of come from

my Design Team Sister Sarah at:

http://www.craftingwithsarah.blogspot.com/

If not please start at the beginning.

http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/

Collectively the design team uses over 100 different Cricut

Cartridges in their projects during the two days of this hop.

What a fun month for the 100 Cart Hop. Erica is even going to

give a sneak peak of her new stamps that will be released on

September 21. Please hop along as the second half of the Design

team share their project for todays hop.

This month I decided to get in the Christmas mood early.

So, I used Christmas Cheer, Joys of the Season & Tags, Bags,

Boxes & More Cricut Cartridges.

The first card was made using Joys of the Season for 

the mittens. This was a very simple card. But, I loved

the idea that the stickles on the bottom of the card makes 

it look like the mitten were wet.  The mittens can be found

on page 51.  The card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and the mittens were

cut at 2 1/2 inches.  I ran them trough the cuttle bug with

the snowflake folder to get them a little texture and chalked

them with a white chalk to make them pop more.

The second card for today was made using the Christmas

Cheer Cartridge for the ornaments. You can find it on page 93.

I cut it out at 2 1/2 inches. The tree branch is made using the

Martha Stewart branch paper punch and layering them. 

This is also a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card.

I love the simplicity of making my own Christmas tags.

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More for these tags.  They 

were cut at 4 inches for both the front and the shadow.

This tag can be found on page 91. This tag is one of my

favorite on this cartridge because of the bumpy bumps

by the hole. ( I don't know what they are called LOL)

They flower and circle are from the Art Philosophy 

cartridge. The flower was cut at 1 inch and is on page

27.  I thought the flower needed some texture so I ran 

it through my cuttle bug with the swiss dots folder.

I had to add a little red bling to the center of each flower

to give them a little extra sparkle. The circle was cut at

1 1/2 inches and can be found on page 31. 

My last project for today was made using Joys of the

Season and Tags, Bags, Boxes & More. When I saw this 

mug I though of warm hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Well, I found these really cute tiny marshmallows at 

Target that are candy cane flavored and PINK.  So, of

course I couldn't pass them up.  Well thats where this

project began. The mug and steam are found on page 

51 of Joys of the Season and they were cut at 3 inches.

I did cut a second mug for the back using the flip button.

The box to hold the hot chocolate and the marshmallows

is cut using Tags, Bags, Boxes & More and is found on

 page 130.  I cut the box out at 4 3/4. I just love how cute

it turned out.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my projects for today. Please leave 

me some blog love about what you though.  I love all types 

of comments especially if you think I should do something 

differently. And if you would like to follow me that would be 

wonderful.  Because who doesn't like to have wonderful friends 

that follow them. 

I have a surprise Blog Candy giveaway.  The only requirements 

I have is I will need a way to get ahold of you so please leave 

me an email address if you want to be entered.  I will choose 

the winner on Thursday, September 6th. (Because that is the 

first day both my girls will be back in school and I will be all

alone once again LOL) So, be on the look out for your name!!
