Cartridge Showcase: Ribbons and Rosettes

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to another Cartridge Showcase! I hope you all had a great weekend and maybe even got in some crafting!

Hi I am Court from Court's Craft Corner! And today I am proud to showcase the Ribbon and Rosette cricut cartridge! It is a realy awesome cartridge and I should probably use it more often, because Ieverytime I use it I really like how my project turns out! Today I will show you how this cartridge can be used in card making and scrapbooking and not only for rosettes.

This first card I made is a birthday card! If you were to mail this you would need to add extra postage, but I hand delivered mine to my cousin and she LOVED it! Here is the link to the original post!

This 8 by 8 layout was a fathers gift for my daddy. I added a picture of him and his daddy after taking the picture. Here is the link to the original post!

The last card was really fun to make. The butterfly, scallop thing a ma gig, and the border strip were all cut from the cartridge!

I have a lot of fun with this cartridge and if you have made anything with it I would love to see! Just leave a link in your comment!

Don't forget about our two current challenges: Our Die Cut and or Stamp Challenge and our Cricut Challenge! Just click the links at the top to join the fun!

Thank you for making us a part of your crafty time! We appreciate you all so much!

Cartridge Showcase: Nate's ABCs

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are all doing well and almost ready for school to start again! You are some lucky ladies because today Chef Xochitl is here today showcasing the Nate's ABC's cartridge!! She has really made some awesome projects with it! So without further adieu.... here She is:

Welcome to another edition of  Cooking with Cricut cartridge showcase!!!  This time around I am showing you some projects using the stylish and very boy-chic NATE'S ABC

This cartridge is full of cute and stylish images that are geared for boy projects. However, you can always substitute the blues on some of those and make the cutest girl themed projects as well. Since I have a handsome little boy and no girls, I opted to stay with the boyish theme colors, I really like the color palette they used on the sample images, very subtle and cuuuuute!

For my first card I used the cute little snail and created an easel card. 

For this project my son got to pick the colors and since green is his favorite color we went with different shades of green.  For this one I used the doggy treats title, but since the cut only has one color for both words, I cut the phrase 3 times and manually cut the letters so I could use the different shades of green. 

For my second card I wanted to make it girly but still stay with the color scheme of the cartridge.  I used a bright orange as the accent color and used a flowery background from Imaginisce to add a little girlish flair. 

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed the projects I brought for you. Please feel free to share your projects using this gorgeous cartridge. 

Wow girl!! All three of your projects are amazing!! I really like the dog treat idea, and I also really like how your cards both look so sophisticated! You really Rocked it out!!

Now go over to Chef Xochitl's blog and leave her some bloggy love! 

Be sure to come back tomorrow as Chef Madison announces the winners from our last challenge.
