Cartridge Showcase: Thanksgiving

Happy Thursday and welcome to Cooking With Cricut's Cartridge Showcase!

Today Chef Linda is featuring the Thanksgiving Seasonal cartridge.  This cartridge is filled with images of Pilgrims, food, and phrases perfect for creating place settings, dinner invitations, table decorations, and so much more.

I am very excited to be spotlighting the Thanksgiving Seasonal Cartridge. I fell in love with this cartridge when I first saw it, mainly for the wording. I decided to make a scrapbook page of my brother’s wedding and used "Thankful Heart" for the title and then accented the page with the pumpkin and acorn embellishments that are also on the cartridge.

I was very surprised to see this little card on the cartridge. I cut the card and the layer out at 3 inches. The "Thank you" was cut at 2 1/4". I thought this little card would be perfect to set on the plate for a younger member of the family that wanted to say Grace at the Thanksgiving dinner. So I put a easy to read prayer inside the card.

This last project is just a simple greeting card using the phrase "Harvest Blessing". The title was cut out at 2 1/2 inches and I just added a glitter ribbon from Michael’s to dress it up a bit.

Beautiful projects, Linda! Thanks so much for sharing them with us in today's cartridge showcase. Please make sure you click over and leave Linda some "love" at her blog!

I also used a Martha Stewart punch for the border and some 

Cinnamon Stickles to glitz it up just a bit :-).

Harvest Blessings Layout

Good morning everyone,

Hope you are ready for a FANTABULOUS WEEK!

To kick things off, here is my project for this week’s Cricut Challenge. Our assignment was to use the color green and to use a circle shape in our project.

So here is my take

I made this one page layout using the following supplies:

Cricut Cartridge: 

Thanksgiving. 

I cut the Harvest, Blessings and holly-leafy type flourishes from this cartridge. I actually cut the titles and the leaves (top layer) of the flourish in regular white cardstock. I then covered them with Olive Vine Glimmer Mist to give them that goldish-green tint. The pictures just don’t do that justice. It is really pretty in person…..Especially because I don’t really care for that color green….but it worked :-) So the green is obvious. As far as the circle shape…Well there are a lot of little circles…in the lace borders, the paisley printed paper and then the jewels. Not obvious, but none the less there :-)

These are just a couple of shots trying to show the gold to green shimmer that the glimmer mist gave these die cuts. Super pretty. Please be sure to head over and enter the challenge. As always, there are great prizes up for each challenge! Plus you will want to see what other fantabulous creations the DT came up with….sure to inspire your bug juices.

Have a Wonderfully Crafty Day!
