My Favorite Cricut Envelopes and Liners

I love envelopes and this is my sixth video on different ways to make envelopes. Please check out my YouTube channel. Just type envelope in the search bar to see all of my videos.

I used the Classically Modern Card Cricut cartridge to make quick and easy envelopes.



Making envelopes and liners with the Cricut Explore is so easy. The cutting and scoring is done for you! These may be my favorite envelopes ever!



Be sure to check out Melody Lane’s video on how to size envelopes using the Cricut Explore.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Make it in Minutes Monday Cricut Explore Style

Welcome to Make it in Minutes Monday.

I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards or projects that take less than 10 minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them.

I am using my Cricut Explore more and more as I try out all the features. This week I tried using the Cricut pens and I am in love.

This Make it Now card file is free when you purchase the new Explore Air machine. It is so fun and easy to make and only took 5 minutes to do. Wouldn't it be fun to make several in different colors as a gift? Love it!

I used the silver pen, but I so need to buy more colors!

Have a great day!

Explore Print Then Cut Anna Griffin Style

I am seriously addicted to anything Anna Griffin and fell in love with this Make it Now print then cut project.

Can you believe the tag and butterfly are a print then cut? I used paper from my stash and an Anna Griffin die for the border. I used Anna’s metallic paper to cut and emboss the border.

This card is so easy and looks so elegant. Next Wednesday, I will have an all new video to share with you.

See you Friday!

Make it in Minutes Monday Cricut Explore Style

Welcome to Make it in Minutes Monday. I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards or projects that take less than 10 minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them.

I just upgraded my Design Space software and I am very impressed. I love how the speed and search capabilities have improved. Wow!

I made the Giraffe card using a Make it Now file and some paper from my stash. I love how the Explore cuts the intricate designs!

Monday Rewind

Using my Silhouette Cameo to make three dimensional sentiment stickers is one of my all-time favorite projects so I thought I would do a Monday rewind.

I love the look of Anna Griffin 3-D sentiments, so several months ago I decided to make my own using the print and cut function of my Silhouette Cameo.

I had so much fun making them that I decided to do a video. Now I need to try making them with my Cricut Explore!



Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Merry Christmas Card From My Sister

A special thanks to my sister Di, for making this elegant Christmas card. Di, my much younger sister was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma on October 7th. Since then she has spent one week out of every three weeks hospitalized for chemotherapy. She also spent Thanksgiving in the hospital in Olympia, Washington and my husband and I were fortunate to spend that time with her and her family.

Santa and his elves delivered a Cricut Explore early this year and this is the first card my sister made. I want to thank everyone for your gifts, thoughts, prayers and your continued support. It means a lot to us!

Thanks for visiting and have a Happy Holiday Season!

Make it in Minutes Monday

Welcome to Make it in Minutes Monday. I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards or projects that take less than 10 minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them.

I made this card using the Bewitched Card/Invite Make it Now Project and my new Cricut Explore. This would be a perfect invitation for a girl’s night out!

I chose this project to see how the Cricut Explore performs when doing intricate cuts and it passed with flying colors. Look at the detail on the lips and eye lashes. Wow! In addition, I used a very inexpensive black card stock from my stash and it cut perfectly. I continue to be impressed with the Explore’s cutting abilities!

Have a wonderful day!

Make it in Minutes Monday

Welcome to Make it in Minutes Monday. I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards or projects that take less than 10 minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them.

For today’s project I used the new Cricut Print Then Cut feature with my Cricut Explore.

I used the Summer Gift Tags Make It Now project designed by Lia Griffith. I added glitter glue, a few pearls, and some twine and was done. I love Lia’s work.

I am working on a review of the new Print Then Cut software, but before I can I finalize my review, I am waiting for Provo Craft to respond to one of my concerns. Hopefully I will be able to publish my review this week, so please stay tuned.

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Dalmatian Card

This card is made using the Create a Critter cartridge and the new Cricut Explore machine. I purchased a monthly subscription for $9.99 and I have access to over 25,000 Cricut Images and more than 200
fonts. This file is part of the subscription.

I cut two identical images sized at 5 x 5.5 and glued them together to form a quick and easy card! This cartridge is an oldie but I love it!! I really like how the Cricut images have so many fun layers!

 

If you are a Silhouette owner, you might want to check out this file to make an adorable Dalmatian card. This file is a print and cut file so making it into a card would be really easy to do !

Have a great day and be sure to stop back Friday for a Fun Fab Five Friday!
