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!

S’mores

Good morning Crafty friends!

Hope you’re all enjoying the summer. It feels like summer is winding down as we get ready to send the kids back to school. It is another wonderful Wednesday here at CWC! It’s a new challenge!

This week’s challenge is all about the delightful summer dessert…S’MORES! Who doesn’t love a great S'More! I must admit, it has been YEARS…since I have had one!

Your challenge this week is to make a project with a S’More OR a project with the elements of a S’More…i.e. Chocolate, marshmallows…well you get the idea!

Here for your inspiration is what the design team came up with!

Chef Jean

Created this adorable layout using: Create A Critter, Gypsy Wanderings, Campin’ Critters and 3 Birds on Parade Cartridges. Be sure to head over to Jean’s blog for more details!

Chef Roberta

Roberta created this adorable “Snack Pack” using her Campin’ Critters Cartridge. Be sure to head over to Roberta's Blog and get details on this sweet, sweet idea!

Chef Melin

Melin created this cute layout using the Simply Sweet and Camping Out cartridges.

Here is a close up of the S’More guy that I pieced together using all Cricut Cartridge cuts.

Here is another layout Chef Melin created using one of the “elements” of a S’More…Chocolate!

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a close up shot of the little bear with his chocolate covered banana split.

Here is a close up of the title using some chocolate kisses in place of o’s.

 Here is one more layout Melin created with a "S'More" theme. This will be a page kit at PaperCraftingWorld.com

Here is the entire layout.

Here is a close up of the little bear roasting his "mallow".

Here is the little "S'More" guy. I used the Cricut for the lettering. The rest are SVG files I created.

Now it’s  your turn! Let’s see your wonderfully sweet S’Moriffic projects!

Here are our few simple guidelines:

1. Must be a new project for this challenge. Please no back dated posts/projects.

2. Must include a “Cricut” cut somewhere – somehow.

3. Must post a link to your post and not just the blog.

4. Must HAVE FUN!!!

Thank you so much for participating with us! We are looking forward to seeing your wonderful creations!  Have a super sweet rest of the week!

The CWC design team!

Welcome to Day #26 of Cooking With Cricut's 

Every Day in May Cele-"BEAR"ation!

This is Gaby with yet another opportunity to post on this wonderful blog during the one year Blog-Aversary Cele-"BEAR"ation!!   

Today I created a layout that I will give to one of my nieces that is graduating next week ... this is what I came up with. 

I had created the bear card with all Cricut cartridges! and had mentioned that I would create a layout so that they (one more to create) can recycle the card!

Cricut Cartridges Used: 

Gypsy Wandering for the "Congrats"

 Kate's ABC's for the "Grad"

Paper Dolls for Everyday, Geoarge and Basic Shapes and Hello Kitty Font for the "Bear/Card"

Thanks for stopping by today.  Come back tomorrow to see what Stacey has cooked up for you to celebrate a birthday:)

Discover The Joy Cricut Layout

Good morning everyone,

I am sharing a layout I did for a couple of challenges this week. It was my first real project including the use of the Gypsy! I am still VERY NEW to it, but so far, I am loving it :-).

I made the birds from Gyspy Wanderings and from Animal Kingdom.

Here is a view of the entire layout.

Here is a closeup of one of the birds and the Digi Sentiment I created. The download link for the digi sentiment will be below.

Here is a closeup of the other little birdie. I flipped the wings for this one. That was because I wanted to show that you can cut the wings out and flip in either direction and it will still look so cute!

Here is a closeup of the AI Factory Image I used. AI is this week's sponsor over at PIO. Please be sure to pay them a visit HERE. They have some WONDERFUL digi files and some FREEBIES to get you started.

So now for the challenges this layout followed:

PIO-Stickers The lettering "The Joy and little flourish are MM glitter stickers

SOUS-Stuck on Sketches. Layout Sketch.

Paper Take Weekly - Ice Cream Flavors. This page makes me think of my beloved Sherbet!

Crafty Creations #72 - Stitching

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Nice and Girly

Rosie Dees - Something Blue. My little blue birds :-)

Wee Memories - Get Sticky with Stickers - MM Red glitter letter stickers

Just Scraps - Butterflies, Birds and Flowers - I hope having two out of three qualifies :-)

UPDATE: Digi sentiment is no longer available. Please visit PCW for all our reasonably priced cutting files and digital printable stamps.

Happy Crafting!
