Love My Cricut

Back to Basics — Cricut Love!

cricket — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:43:14 +0000

ok, I admit it, I’ve been away… way too long! I have vowed to get back into scrapbooking, so naturally I’m trying to get a little inspiration and a lot of ideas by scouring the net for ideas. I thought I would start slowly, making a few cards this weekend. I found this adorable card and I loved the simplicity and the fun little googly eyes!! Plus it will be perfect for my nephew’s upcoming birthday, perfect timing.

OH THE CUTENESS!!

Thanksgiving Card

This adorable Thanksgiving card was made by Lisa of Lisa’s Handmade Cards. It is on her blog here along with many other super cute cards! She doesn’t give any detail but I don’t recognize this shape from any Cricut cartridges. If I am wrong someone please let me know because I would love to copy this card!

Cricut Thanksgiving Titles

The candles are blown out, the jackolanterns are in the trash, the remaining candy is squirreled away in the cupboard, and two fairy princesses, a dinosaur and a knight are napping/coming down from a sugar high. So it must be time to think about Thanksgiving! In searching for Thanksgiving Cricut projects, I came across these Cricut Thanksgiving titles and these Thanksgiving Cricut Cards. They are not finished Cricut projects but they are cut files. I think you have to have SCAL or Design Studio to use them? It may be time for me to take the plunge and buy one of these programs to use with my Cricut Expression!!

Cricut 50 States Cartridge Project

Just came across this amazing wall mural of the US Map, created using the Cricut 50 States Cartridge! What a great idea and so much more personal than buying a pre-printed map, plus you get to choose the colors so it can match the room’s decor. It would also be super cute in a classroom or daycare center. LOVE IT!!

Cricut Halloween Decor Bouquet — wow!

Dreams Card

Today’s featured project is from Shelly at Popsicle Toes Card Creations. Her elegant card was made with the Cricut Storybook Cartridge (tree branch, bird, corner swirl and label), Paper Trey stamp, ink, glitter pen, rhinestone (for the bird’s eye, isn’t that cool?), Basic Grey Figgy Pudding and Stampin’ Up papers. I just love the sentiment she chose for this card: “Dreams Are Wishes Your Heart Makes”. So pretty!

Cricut Edition of Will It Blend?

cricket — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 04:31:59 +0000

When I first came across this video I was horrified? They wouldn’t dare blend (“blend” = destroy to these people!!) my beloved Cricut Expression would they?

Phew, that was a relief. I DO like the idea of getting rid of all those old punches, decorative scissors, etc., but I’ll probably donate them or sell them on eBay — something a little less dramatic than blending them!
