Mickey & Friends Cartridge Showcase


Good afternoon crafty friends,

Welcome to another Cartridge showcase. 
Today's showcase is brought to you by one of our new designers: Wendy 

Here's what Wendy has to say:

The cartridge I’ve chosen to showcase is Mickey & Friends for the Thursday Cartridge Showcase with the CWC Design Team.  This was one of the very first cartridges I bought. 


When you think of Mickey & Friends, your first thought is Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto…..I thought I’d show you what else is on the cartridge other than the obvious. 


The first layout features Chip & Dale and is titled “Nuts About U”.  All the paper used is DCWV and the ribbon used is American Crafts premium ribbon.  (Found and excellent sale at TJ Maxx, Marshall’s for those of you that don’t have TJ Maxx!).  The clouds are double cut to add depth.



The second layout is “My Little Glamour Girl” for my glamour girl granddaughter Daria.  She is always dolling herself up.  Again I have used DCWV paper, including the glitter paper on the diamond rings, and American Crafts premium ribbon. 


And last but not least, “Boys and their Toys” is for my nephew Griffin.  He is so into trucks, cars, boats and trains.  The paper is DCWV and the ribbon is American Crafts premium ribbon.

I think I’ve shown how fun this cartridge is outside the obvious.  All these wonderful hidden cuts. 

Wendy, thank you for such beautiful layout inspiration and all the amazing ideas! Your layouts are absolutely spectacular!

Be sure to join us for our two challenges HERE and HERE

Monday Showcase: Mickey & Friends


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 Jen and today I'm going to share some projects created with Mickey & Friends. The Disney cartridges are notorious for their small pieces and intricate cuts -- but they are well worth the effort.  This cartridge features Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Daisy and Donald Duck, Chip and Dale as well as some really cute secondary cuts including a border feature. 

I created this card as part of one of my fellow Cooking With Cricut Design team member's "I Feel the Love" Project.  Madison started this monthly challenge in June to give her blog followers the chance to create a card to give someone who may be going through a difficult time.  June's recipient was a teacher at her High School who is battling cancer for the second time. Madison collected 22 cards for Ms. Pentoney! July's recipient is a 3 year old girl named Marley Moore and her family. Marley was diagnosed with a brain tumor near her optic nerve, brain stem and pituitary gland in August 2009 and is currently battling a recurrence.  Thirty-four (34) cards were created for Marley and her family last month. 

August's recipient is is Kate McRae, her older sister Olivia, her younger brother Will, and her parents Holly and Aaron.  Kate is 7 years old and is battling a rare form of brain cancer  (sPNET) that was diagnosed in June 2009.  Doctors were only able to remove about 50% of the tumor due to it's location in the left temporal lobe of her brain and the fact that the tumor had wrapped itself around the left middle cerebral artery to her brain. Kate experienced right sided paralysis immediately following surgery along with the loss of her speech. She has since relearned how to speak, walk and do the many things that young children do, however her right sided weakness still continues.   Kate has endured more than any child should have to -- many rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, speech therapy, physical therapy. . . and many, many stays in the hospital.

I will make cards for the entire family before the end of the month, but today I'm sharing 6 year old Will's card.   All of the cuts are from the Mickey & Friends Cricut cartridge and all of the paper is from my scrap stash. 



Here is the recipe:

  • Card base - 8 1/2" x 11" white card stock, folded in half
  • Mat - patterned paper cut to 8" x 5"
  • Car - cut at 6" wide x 3 3/4" high
  • Mickey - cut at 4" high
  • Mailbox - cut at 2 7/8" high
  • Fence - cut at 4"wide x 2 1/2" high
  • Tree - cut at 3 5/8" high
  • Grass - cut at 1" high (two sections welded together in Design Studio).
I haven't decided what I'm going to put on the inside yet, other than "Hi ya, pal!"  So for now it is blank. 

If you are interested in creating a card for someone who needs a little loving and encouragement -- please click over to Madison's blog and sign up.  Not only will you bring a smile to someone else's face, you'll bring one to your own, too.

Below are a few photos of other projects I've created using the Mickey & Friends cartridge -- the link to the details on my blog is underneath the photo.
