7 May - Imagine project

I hope you have joined me from Erica's Cricut craft room at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com  When you are done please go back (link on bottom of post too..) to see many more awesome projects created by my Design Team Sisters!

Today is IMAGINE -nation day.. Using any Imagine cartridge and getting creative...

REMEMBERING...  JUST because a title of a cartridge states a theme  -there is SO MUCH MORE you can do within the "theme"...  Example shown here today..

Today I show you NURSERY TAILS Imagine cartridge using just the paper on page 35.  to not only make a note pad but double sided paper.

The flower is from Cricut Cartridge        and cut and designed at 3inches on the Cricut craft Room. I just flooded in on the Imagine machine and printed.

I made double sided paper using the Imagine.  the blue is a coordinating color to this cartridge.  As I designed the paper on the Imagine  -I also planned how big the flower would be and made the paper size accordingly!  

How do you make double sided paper -  I used a square image (from George basics) made the square size I was wanting.  print it out and cut.....   NEXT i then used the the same square and flooded it with the coordinating color and put it back in the same spot as it was cut fom (just turn to the white side.  you might want to carefully  tack it down.  REPEAT print and when it was time to cut - I hit STOP..   (NOTE:  next time I will stop the cut the first time and cut at the 2nd printing) - and there you have double sided paper!

I used the middle circle and excluded that from the cut BUT used it for the paper inside. So it all fit nice.  using a hand hole punch in the white paper and flower.

Using a 1in book ring - It opens up - and you can put all your white paper and put your note pad together.   I have 40 more to make...

Inked around the edges...  Don't know If I will do this for each white piece of paper since I am putting 25 circles in each notepad...  BUT for the flower I will as it coordinates with the different paper colors throughout the  Imagine cartridges.

Lovely Floral, Cherry Limeade & Imagine Nursery Tails 

1st Picture I have combined 2 cartridges; LOVELY FLORAL & NURSERY RHYMES:

** Lovely Floral for the Pretty flower cut out.  I used the colors pink from Nursery Rhymes.

**Nursery Rhymes Imagine cartridge is also using the very pretty die cut image of the mushroom with the butterfly and dragon fly from page 11 cut out at    as well as the sentiment cut Scatter Kindness using the blue color from Nursery Rhymes.

The image from the flower image is able to cut additional flowers to make it a little 3d, but I choose to keep it off.

*stickles Cotton Candy is the center point of the flowers and on the butterfly and mushroom.

* Ribbon on card is from a misc stash.  It is light brown and pink

* Green C/S is used for background and inked with chocolate ink from ctmh as well as the pink flower frame.

I would love it if you head back over to Erica's blog at mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com  after you

are done commenting on my blog today (please)  :)  YOU don't want to miss any of the Awesome Cricut Creativity from my fellow design Team Sisters!!

I so love my Imagine cartridges.  it is nice to know that you can get creative with a cartridge other than the "intended" title.. For instance. today, I have chosen NURSERY TAILS.  This tells you in general it's for babies.  BUT let me show you my card and this card is perfect for anyone... other than a baby...

** I just love my Liquid Pearls - Erica over at My Cricut Craft Room got me started on these beautiful lil bottles of creativity! you can find these at http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/  So easy to work with!  colors used on butterflies and under the stamped sentiment.   baby blue, buttercup & petal pink.

** Nursery Tails Imagine cartridge cutting the paper found on page 35 for the small frame for the Butterfly kisses cut out at 3.5 in.. found on page 21.
 
** blue paper is from my stash and I believe from Bazzills.

** the green ribbon is from Ribbon Doilies paper ribbon.  3 to a pack.  I chose the green.  Isn't is so pretty!!

** Stamped sentiment is from the awesome Kristal - kandrews designs.  Winged Things.  you  can go to her blog  to see this and more stamp sets!!

So do you agree with never judging a cartridge by it's title??  I hope you have seen that here today!

Please leave some love of comments today and tell me what other projects you have created using this cartridge..
I would love it if you head back over to mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com  to see MORE of my awesome design team sisters creativity and their projects today!
