Cartridge Showcase: New Testament

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are in the middle of a very crafty week or preparing for a very crafty weekend! I have to say, Jamie did an awesome job! She is showcasing the New Testament Cricut Cartridge, one that I was not too sure about at first, but now it is at like the top of my wish list!

Here is Jamie:

Hello, my name is Jamie and I am here to showcase one of my newest and current favorite Cricut Cartridge. This cartridge is the New Testament Cartridge. This cart has so much to offer. From home decor possibilities, church projects, gifts to layouts and cards. This cartridge has many features including: Biblical Characters and illustrations, Scripture, Books, Books Shadow, Fish and Crosses. I have some examples of things that I have made using this cartridge below. If you want more ideas on how to use the cartridge you can click Here.

I used vinyl and cut the cross out from the New Testament card and adhered it to a glass block that I bought from Hobby Lobby. I used some ribbon and fiber to embellish it and stuck a light in through the bottom. It looks awesome when lit up, unfortunately the picture didn't.

Last year we went the 'Journey to the Cross' live Easter production at a local church. They reenacted the Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection outside on their church property. It was really amazing. Here I used the cartridge to create the scene for the pictures I took that day.

A closer view of the cross I cut using the cartridge.

I have really gotten into creating cards lately and one of my favorite things to do is to make sets of cards as gifts. Here I used a tutorial (that I have shown on my blog in the past) to create these card boxes.

I cut the crosses out using the New Testament cartridge to embellish the front of the boxes.

Here is the open view of the card boxes with card examples. Cards go on one side and the envelopes on the other.

All of the above and below diecuts came from the cartridge as well.

I have many more plans in the works with how to use this cartridge, such as I plan to use some of the scriptures and more of the crosses/fish to make some home decor once my house is painted. So, something to look forward to!

I hope you have enjoyed this short tour of the New Testament Cricut Cartridge and I hope you have been inspired to create and perhaps check this cartridge out.

Wasn't that an amazing showcase? If you think so, then go and tell Jamie through a comment on her blog!

Challenge #81: Card Outreach

Happy Wednesday and welcome to our weekly Cooking With Cricut challenge! Today our Design Team is showcasing "Thinking of You" cards for two sweet young ladies who are battling different kinds of cancer.

Patty Rogers is 13 years old and has a rare form of childhood cancer called neurobastoma. She has had three surgeries to remove tumors, nine rounds of chemotherapy, and a stem cell transplant. 

Patty is currently on low-dose chemotherapy, and just received approval to join an experimental therapy study called I-131 MIBG. Her mother is a friend of Design Team member Kemma.

Emily Ziemathis is six. She is the oldest daughter of four children to Sean and Jennifer and although she is small, petite and quiet, she holds her own with her brothers and sister and has a heart the size her mommy and daddy admire. Arts and crafts, pink and purple, horses and kittens are items that will keep her content and comfortable for hours. Unfortunately, that comfort has been disrupted with the recent diagnosis of Leukemia.

Emily is this month's "I Feel the Love" Project recipient -- IFTL was started by Design Team member Madison. Each month Madison selects a different person (or persons) who is going through a difficult time and could use a lift, to receive handcrafted cards.

Here is what the Design Team created to help cheer up these beautiful and brave girls!  Make sure you click on the designer's name to visit their blogs for more details and to leave 'em some love and appreciation for all their hard work.
