More Valentines with the Cricut

This is one of my five minute cards. I cut the hearts from the Storybook Cartridge and mounted to two layers of card stock. Quick and easy thanks to the Cricut and my tape roller!

New Use For Your Sharpe Permanent Markers

Try using your Sharpie Permanent Markers to color your Rhinestones. I used my neon pink Sharpie on clear rhinestones and they turned out great. Thanks to Sharpie you can custom color your rhinestones to match your layout. Yahoo!

Pagoda Cricut Cartridge

I made this card using Cricut's new Pagoda Cartridge. I used the card and shadow feature so it was very easy to make. As always I used my Cuttlebug to emboss and tied a quick bow. The Kanji symbol represents good health, so I plan to use this as a get well card.

Happy Valentines Day

I decided to renew my passion for rubber stamping and dust off my old stamps. For this card I used a Hero Art's valentine set. Too many hobbies, too little time. And of course, no card would be complete with using rhinestones and some glitter!

Birthday Card

I am so addicted to SCAL. This card was designed using a free file from SVG Cuts. Click here for a link to the free birthday cake file. Be sure to check out all their great products!

Card using SCAL

I so love using my SCAL program. I made this card using a file called Scalloped Shapes I purchased from SVG cuts. The flowers were cut using the Cricut George Cartridge and for the sentiment tag I used Storybook. I stamped the word Celebrate and my easy card was complete. Be sure to check out SVG cuts. You can purchase the program from them and also beautiful files.

New Discovery

During my long break, I discovered a wonderful new software for my Cricut. The software is called Sure Cuts Alot and has been out for about a year. New to me!

I so recommend it as I use my Cricut more often. Now if I would only keep up my posts.

I purchased the scalloped shapes from SVG Cuts and they also sell the SCAL software Click here to check out their site. You will soon be addicted!

Christmas Album with the Cricut

I have been making Christmas candy and have been neglecting my crafting. Too many hobbies and too little time. I just had to use my Cricut do this mini Christmas Album. Hope you all are having a happy holiday season! I will post some candy photos later this week.

PS If you get a chance rent the Julia and Julie DVD. It just came out and it is a wonderful movie.

Christmas with the Cricut

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time in Missoula with family and friends.
Below is a quick card I made using the Cricut Cheer cartridge. Hope you all survived Black Friday and that you are the proud owners of new Cricut cartridges.

Easy Cricut Christmas Card

I made this using the Christmas Cheer Cartridge by Cricut. Quick and easy!

Another Five Minute Christmas Card

This card actually took four minutes. I used a piece of decorative paper, added a few rain dots and a rub-on. Super easy!

5 Minute Christmas Cards

I so love to make quick cards and thought over the next few days, I would share a few of my five minute cards. They are quick and so easy to make. This card is just your basic card with a one inch inked strip and a purchased embellishment and rub-on. Actually this took less than 5 minutes.

Candy Boxes with the Cricut

Every year I have a candy making party and we make hand molded and decorated candy for Christmas gifts. This year I decided to use the Cricut to make candy boxes. I made 37 boxes and this is just a sampling. I used the Christmas Cheer Cartridge to cut the windows and then I covered the openings with acetate. Too much fun!

Christmas Photo Card

I just could not resist making a Christmas card using my new great nephew's photo. Landon is so adorable as is his Dad and Mom!

Wild Card Cartridge

I decided to make a Thanksgiving Card using the Wild Card Cartridge from Cricut. Not only can you make cards using this cartridge, it comes with a great font. I used Design Studio for this card and it only took about 15 minutes. Check out the Wild Card Cartridge at Ben Franklins in Helena. It is on sale for $59.00.
