Erica's Room "My Favorite Cartridge" Blog Hop.

Hello Everyone! I am so sorry it has been a while since I posted anything crafty..
Let's see, with the HSN Launch my multiple U-stream watching, the online games, keeping track of Cricut on FB and all of the other giveaways I think I needed some time to recuperate.


Welcome to Erica's Room
 "My Favorite Cartridge" Blog Hop

You should be visiting my blog from Tammys @ http://crazycardcreator.blogspot.com/, if not and you would like to start from the beginning of the Hop 
(I highly recommend it so you do not miss out on any Blog Candy Chances!)
Please start at Erica's Room...

If you are in the right place, then Yahoo Buccaroo! 
I chose the Imagine Cartridge Buccaneer for this Blog Hop,
it is my newest cartridge and I am just LOVING the images and how they layer..

The first thing I did was take a frame I had made previously that was in my opinion plain and add a Mermaid to it.. My niece loves mermaids and she would love to have this in her room..
Up Clsoe View of the Mermaid

Full Frame

Sideways view to show the Layers
The Mermaids shirt and tail fin as well as waist fin are popped
Wreath on head and wrist are just glued

Craft Supplies:
THis Frame was altered previously by me you can read this Post to find out how
(I removed the flower and changed the ribbon, also this time i have better lighting)
White Daisy Cardstock by Close to My Heart
Mermaid Image cut at 4.5 with Layers
Close To My Heart Adhesive Foam
Tombow Mono Adhesive

Inside of Card

Closer look at the Dimension on the Treasure Chest


Side View again to show the dimension

 See the layering on the Pirate? The hat, the face, I popped the collars of the coat (the gold) but glued the rest to the image, hi shoe is also popped




Supplies:
Kraft Cardstock by The Paper Company for the Card Base 
which is 5.5 x5.5
White Daisy Cardstock by Close to my Heart for the IMagine Buccaneer Images
Map background cut at 5
Pirate Image cut at 3.5
Chest and X Marks the Spot cut at 1.75
Happy Birthday sentiment by Heidi Swapp
Chocolate ink by Unity Stamp Co
Close to my Heart foam Adhesive & Tombow Mono Adhesive
