Product Review PaperCrafts Holiday Cards

Today I am reviewing PaperCraft's Holiday Cards. Volume 4 contains over 292 holiday projects for every skill level. There is over 100 Christmas Card ideas and an entire section on how to wrap gifts in style.

The magazine is $14.99 and you will use it for years to come. I have all four volumes and use them every holiday season. This is a must have resource and I purchased mine at Hastings in Great Falls, Montana.

Tomorrow is product review Tuesday and I will reviewing a new publication from Paper Crafts.

I recently purchased the Cricut Wild Card cartridge and it is amazing! You can make a variety of cards in a very short period of time. I will be teaching a class on October 27th that features this cartridge. This card only took me 10 minutes to make with Design Studio and the Cricut machine.

Paper Bows

I love making paper bows and we will be making these bows as part of our November 2, 2009 class at Ben Franklins. I will post more details next week. Paper bows are so simple to make and you can use them for any occasion.


Each bow takes one half of a 12 x12 inch double sided sheet of paper.

Back in The Saddle Again

Hi, I have been gone for awhile but now I am back! I am reintroducing myself to my Cricut and just bought Design Studio. I love it. Design Studio allows you to do so many things with the Cricut. Below is a gift card holder made from the wild card cartridge using Design Studio. This project will be part of an upcoming class to be held at Ben Franklins.

More Christmas

Now that I have recovered from foot surgery, I am back crafting. I can't believe Christmas is only three months away. Time to get busy. Last year I did Iris folding cards for Christmas. Here is one of my favorities.

Variation on a theme

I am still making Christmas cards but decided to use the same format for a Birthday Card. Looks like it will be Christmas in August before I get my cards done.
