Cartridge Showcase: Lyrical Letters

Welcome to Cooking With Cricut's Cartridge Showcase.  Chef Debbie has taken over the blog today is sharing with you some beautiful projects she has made with Cricut's Lyrical Letters cartridge.  

This cartridge has seven distinct fonts you can mix and match to express your personal style, create delightful and thoughtful projects for the holidays, seasons, and so much more.  It includes: Capital, Connected, Loop Dee Loo, Jack Sprat, Jumbo, and Italic Monoline creative features.

So without further ado, here's Debbie . . .

A couple of years ago when I bought my first Cricut (the little bug) one of the first cartridges I purchased was Lyrical Letters. I used it for everything! I still have it as my go to cartridge when I need a font.  

For the cartridge showcase, I am going to share a few projects that I have used Lyrical Letters for. I used Lyrical Letters for a baby name for a mini toilet paper roll album I made.  Here is a picture of it and the post can be found here.

Another project where Lyrical Letters was used was making some baby shower items for a young lady at my work.  Before I had a cartridge that had banner cuts on it, I used Lyrical Letters and cut the triangles and just cut the little tag/circle part off the top.  I actually love the way these triangles are cut with a little curve to them.  Here is a picture of that and the full post can be found here.

When I wanted to put some vinyl on my craft room wall I knew immediately I would use Lyrical Letters (I used it and my Imagine to do names for my daughters' rooms, but don’t think I ever posted that for some reason…I need to take a picture of them one day).  Here is a picture of that and the post can be found here.

I needed a sympathy card and knew the sentiment on Lyrical Letters would be perfect.  I made this card using it, here is the post.

I also made this cute thank you card using Lyrical Letters.  The post can be found here.

Great projects, Debbie!  Make sure you head over to her blog and check out all the details on these fantastic projects!

Challenge #53: Apples & Honey

Today is the beginning of Rosh Hashanah. While maintained to be a Jewish holiday, it is part of the "missed or lost understanding" of our Christian (Hebraic) roots. Among some of the items eaten during this festival, apples and honey are consumed to symbolize a sweet new year.  So happy new year or  L'shanah tovah!

Here are the sweet apple and honey projects our Design Team came up with!

Dalis used Doodlecharms and George & Basic Shapes cartridges to

create this super cute card.  Make sure you check her blog for the details!

Jen created two 12x12 scrapbook layouts for today's challenge.

 The first uses the "Just Because" Cards and Walk in My Garden cartridges.

The second uses the "Just Because" Cards and Doodlecharms cartridges.

Make sure you check out her blog for the "sweet" details!

Melin created this layout using the Heritage, Give a Hoot and Plantin School Book Cartridges.

 


Melin created this layout using the Plantin School Book Cartridge, a PIE SVG file from PaperCraftingWorld and a Lifestyle Crafts (formerly Quickutz) decorative border die.

Melin created this layout using the  Just Because, Forever Young and Lyrical Letters Cartridges.

Here is a close up of the little honey bee holding his honey pot. The honey pot is from the Just Because cartridge and the Honey Bee is from Lyrical Letters and George and Basic Shapes. I did use the Gypsy to do some welding but he could be reproduced without the Gypsy as well.

Monday Showcase: Create-A-Critter

 

Good morning and welcome to Cooking With Cricut's Cartridge Showcase. Each Monday a member of our Design Team will feature a Cricut cartridge of their choice and projects they've made with that cartridge. We hope you'll be inspired to pull out your cartridges and find new ways to use them!

 

Hi!  This is Chef Stacey and today I am going to share with you a project that I made using the Create-A-Critter cartridge.  Even with so many awesome cartridges out there, I think Create- A- Critter is still one of my favorites.  All the critters are just so adorable!  They instantly put a smile on my face. Not to mention that there are a lot of really cute phrases and the accessories can be used for other projects, if you didn't want to use the cute little critters.

For my project, I decided to make a little 3x3 note box filled with some note cards.  I love having these on hand.  These little cards are the perfect size to slip into lunch boxes or to hide a little message around the house for a nice surprise.

Supplies:

Cricut -- Create-A-Critter (Zebra cut at 2.5") & Lyrical Letters (Just A Note cut at 2")

Card Stock --Tempting Turquoise (SU!), Black (Recollections), White (Georgia Pacific)
Patterned Paper -- Animal (Recollections)
Punch -- Scallop Sentiment (Fiskars)
Misc. -- Stickles (Turquoise), Black Hemp Cord

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don't forget to check back Tuesday morning to see what this week's Guest Designer has whipped up.
