Holiday Sign

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

25 Days of Christmas,

with 25 Cricut projects a day.

Don't forget to stop by Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today....

and every day in December.

 
Today's theme is Elf!  I had orginally planned on creating a scrapbook layout for today but I ran out of time!  So instead I am sharing a holiday sign I made at my local AC Moore class recently!
 
Isn't this just adorable!  And so easy to make!  I love taking classes at AC Moore.  Our teacher is wonderful and always comes up with some great projects! For this project, we covered a simple chalk board with scrapbook paper and then added the elf on the side! 
 
 The elf is cut from the Jolly Holidays cartridge.  For the face, Peachy Keen Stamps were used! Love these!!! 
 
The banners are from the Country Life cartridge and just glued onto the twine.  The snowflakes are from a punch the teacher had at class! 
 

These holiday signs would make great gifts and were a joy to make! Hope you like it!

Christmas Ornament

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

25 Days of Christmas,

with 25 Cricut projects a day.

Don't forget to stop by Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today....

and every day in December.


For today's project I decided to make a very quick and easy ornament!! 
I've seen all these other blogs where people are making their own glitter ornaments and I wanted to give it a try!  I used GlitterIt to coat the inside of the ornament and then used some Martha Stewart red glitter.  So easy!  And not messy at all!  I will definitely be making more of these with my kids because it was super easy!  I then decided to keep the outside really simple and just used 3 different snowflake designs from the 'Winter is in the air- Seasonal' cartridge.   The snowflakes are all cut at 1.25 inches.  I'm really enjoying playing with vinyl and can't wait to make more projects with it!

Well that's my super simple Christmas ornament.  Hope you liked it!  I'm entering it into the Cricut Circle Weekly challenge - ornaments and glitter!  
Don't forget to check out the other great projects today over at Erica's Craft Room.  Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to Erica's Craft Room

25 Days of Christmas,

with 25 Cricut projects a day.

Don't forget to stop by Erica's blog to see 24 more projects today....

and every day in December.

 
For my project today  I created a scrapbook layout of kids playing in the snow!
 
I used two cartridges for this layout - Snow Day and Winter Woodland.  I also used the cricut Craft Room and my new Cricut mini machine! love them both!  It is so easy to design on the Cricut craft room and the mini cuts so nicely.
 
From Winter Woodland I cut the title out at 4 inches.  I used the layer and shadow function.
 
The two kids playing in the snow are from the new Snow Day cartridge!  I love this cartridge. All cuts are 4 inches.  I decided to use the hide/contour button in CCR and use my Peachy Keen Stamps for the kid faces!  Love those!!!
 

 
Well that's my Snow Fun layout for today! I hope you enjoyed it!

You should have come from Lezlye's blog and her amazing creations!  If not, please start back at the beginning so you don't miss any great projects!  Today we are honoring Bella's 4th birthday with her own blog hop!
 
For my project today I made a scrapbook layout!  My daughter just recently had her birthday and I still haven't scrapped the pictures from her day.  I thought this layout would be perfect for some of her birthday pictures!
 
I used 3 cricut cartridges for this layout:
Once Upon a Princess
Princess Party
Cricut Font & basic shapes
 
I used the Cricut Craft Room program and my new Cricut mini machine to create this layout.  I am loving both things!  The craft room is just like using the gypsy except even easier!!! And the cricut mini cuts so nicely!
 
The title for my layout was cut from the Princess Party event cartridge at 3.431 inches high!   The photo mat is from the Cricut Font and Basic Shapes digital cartridge and cut at 9.43 inches!  This will be perfect for a 5x7 picture!
 
The little girl is from the Once Upon a Princess cartridge and cut at 4 inches.  I used the Peachy Keen Princess Faces stamp! So cute!
 

So that's my layout for today!  Happy Birthday Bella! Hope you have an amazing day.

You should have come from Erica's post.  If not, please start back at the beginning so you don't miss any of today's great projects, http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com/
 

I can't believe it is December already, this year is really flying by!  For the blog hop this month I decided to create a layout showing Christmas treats!! I created this layout for the pictures I have of me and my kids creating tons of yummy treats for christmas time! 

For today's layout I used 5 cricut cartridges:
From My Kitchen
Sweet Shop
Sophisticated
Sesame Street Seasons
Winter is in the Air - Holiday



The title for my layout is from two different cartridges.  Christmas is just half of a 'Merry Christmas' cut from 'Winter is in the Air - Holiday' and cut at 4.69 inches.  And Treats is from the 'Sophisticated' cartridge.  I used my gypsy to weld the letters together at 1.86 inches.


These cute candycane are also from the 'Winter is in the Air - Holiday' and cut at 3.50 inches.

The pepermint candies are from the 'Sweet Shop' cartidge and cut at multiple sizes ranging from 2.6 - 2.9 inches.


The hot chocolate mug is from the 'Sesame Street Seasons' cartridge and cut at 3.77 inches. 


The gingerbread men are cut from the 'From My Kitchen' cartridge at 3.5 inches.  I used a white gel pen to outline the cookies!  I really like how that adds to the cut-out.


Well I hope you liked my layout for today! Don't forget to check out the rest of the hop today!  Tons of great projects for you to get inspiration from!
