My Cricut Craftroom's 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Its that time of the month again for My Cricut Craftroom's 100 cartridge blog hop. Welcome! You should have come from Suzy's Crafts. If not and would like to start from the beginning, please go to My Cricut Craftroom. Its been an insane and crazy month around my house but I'm FINALLY getting back into my paper stash so I'm quite thrilled about that. I did a few projects in the past few days.

For my first project I used the Winter Frolic Cartridge. I created a scrapbook layout for one of my daughters books. I'm soooo far behind.

I also used Winter Frolic for my second project. I ended up making about 30 of these. Tag is from Winter Frolic on page 36, cut at 4". Gingerbread is cut using the shadow feature on page 61 at 2-3/4". I stamped the face using a peachy keen set and used a gel pen for stitching. I decided to use ric rac for embellishments along with a few buttons. I thought I had a "to/from" stamp however I didn't. But I did end up buying one after I took the picture.

I used Mini Monsters to create a few (about 24) halloween treats for my Daughters preschool friends. I don't always like to give out edibles so I chose pencils. My daughter loves printing.



To make the pencil holder you will need a piece of paper (heavier cardstock is a much better choice) cut to 3-5/8 x 6-3/8. Using a score board (with the piece of paper short edge at the top), score at 3/8, 1-5/8, 2 and 3-1/4. Now turn so that the long size is at the top and score one end at 3/8. On this end make a cut slit on each of the lines to create flaps. Fold all of the score lines and add adhesive (I like score tape) and put together.

I made a band using a piece of black cardstock (3-5/8 x 2). Score at the same intervals as the holder. I punched both sides with a scalloped punch and added a piece of patterned paper for a little more colour.

I added 4 pencils from the dollar store and put the entire thing in a clear bag. I had bunch I leftover from a birthday party. They are the ones for pretzel rods (I'm not sure the dimensions). I created a topper with a piece of paper cut at 3-1/2" x 4, scored at 2". I stapled this to the bag. Using the Mini Monster cardridge, I cut the witch on page 41 at 2-1/2" using some scraps of paper. I used googley eyes instead of the cutouts because they are far too tiny and attached the entire thing using popdots. I stamped the sentiment and handcut, inking the edges with some cheap ink pads I had laying around.
