Cartridge Showcase: Gypsy Wanderings

Welcome Crafty Friends!

I am so glad you joined us here at Cooking With Cricut today! You are in for a real treat, because Chef Jamie L. from Scrapin' 2 Baby Girls is bringing you some amazing projects that she cooked up with the Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge! Summer is almost here and that means that we are going to have more time to craft (at least that's what it means for me) and I think that I am going to get a lot of use out of this cartridge this summer!

Hey everyone!

 Jamie L. here and today I am showcasing Gypsy Wanderings. I really like this cart! Now it's true the only way to get this cart is if you buy/have a gypsy, but I think it's worth it (well it is for me anyway).

This cart is jam packed full of all sorts of different cuts.. from shapes, to shadows, to tags, to phrases, and boarders. It has a large assortment of different things. Bunnies, flowers, hearts, cupcakes, owls, snow flakes, decorative flourishes... just lots of great cuts that can be used for ANYTHING! From everyday to holidays, wedding to baby, this cart has something for you!

I have made a few things with this cart... First up.. A wedding layout.

I used the music note boarder twice and placed it down the side of this layout in purple. It makes the page :)

I have also made....

This set of owl cards which can be seen HERE!

This flower card for Mother's Day which can be seen HERE!

This crown layout which can be viewed HERE!

And this Easter card which can be viewed HERE!

I hope you'll look at this cart and give it a chance if you haven't really taken the time to look it over before. It's got some great stuff on it!

Thanks for stoppin' by today and have a great day!

Cricut Showcase: Heritage

Hello Cooking with Cricut fans !

Natt Smith is here today for Heritage
cartridge showcase. 

Heritage cartridge's shapes are all about your family,home and heritage.

It's really perfect for vintage theme but since I'm not an expertise in vintage I'll
go with somethings simple that you can do. Let's take a look !

"Father's day card"

Cut < cameo9> then use foam adhesive adhere it onto wooden pattern paper then
use alphabet sticker for sentiment.

"Home"

This photo frame I cut <house6> and put it on top of card base I cut with

Elegant edge cartridge. Stamp on the base paper then put them on plain white
frame.

Thank you so much everyone for stopping by. For more of my work please visit my blog
