Cricut Thank you card

Hello, friends!

Today, I have a card that I made using the Paper Lace Cricut cartridge and the Happy Times paper pack and stamp set. I know it has been a while since I have used this cartridge. I was searching through Design Space and it just spoke to me. Some of those older cartridges are so good!

If you have a Cricut Explore, here is the file: Cricut Thank You Cards

If you do not have an Explore, I cut the focal point out at 3 3/4".

Moroccan themed gift bag made using the Paper Lace cartridge.

Hello, friends!

Today is the day I find out if Close To My Heart is releasing a new Cricut cartridge. If they do, it would go on sale August 1st. I am going to have a really great special, IF a new cartridge is released, not to mention special benefits for those of you who have bought from me before. Fingers crossed we get good news today! I will keep you all posted!

I have a really simple, but pretty gift bag that I made using the Paper Lace cartridge. I am obsessed with this Moroccan patterned, so I searched high and low for it with in my cricut library. I pretty much did a little jig when I came across these cuts. I am fairly certain you will see this cut again in some capacity. Don't you think it would make a great stencil?

Celebrate card made using Picturesque and Paper Lace Cricut cartridges!

Hello, friends!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My house was finally cleaned and laundry is all caught up! However, this week is Spring Break so lets see how long the clean house lasts :-(


Today's card is the fourth card in my Card Making with the Cricut Basics series. It is about the rule of three. This is one of my favorite things to do with Cricut cuts. All you have to do is cut out three of the same thing or three complimenting things and VOILA!

I used Picturesque for the beautiful flower and Paper Lace for the sentiment.

The paper is Bo Bunny Double Dot.

I cut the flowers out at 1 1/2".

'Celebrate' was cut out at 1 1/2".

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Tomorrow I have a birthday card I made for my dad's birthday(which was yesterday), Masculine cards are always hard, but he loved it! What a relief, right!!

Have a MAGICAL Monday!

thank you card made using Picturesque and Paper Lace cartridge.

Hello, friends!

I hope you are all having a great week! Re-entry into regular everyday life after being on the cruise has proved difficult. Real life stinks! I want to go back on the ship :-(

Today I have another card made with both Picturesque and Paper Lace cartridge to show you how you can make a pattern using Cricut cuts. This is super easy and looks really great in person. I just glued down the cuts and trimmed off the excess and voila!

The paper is Bo Bunny.

Thank you was cut out at 1 1/2".

The little 'tiles' were cut out at 1 1/2".

Thanks so much for stopping by! I will be back here tomorrow with a rule of three lesson!

Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!

Happy birthday card using Picturesque and Paper Lace

Good morning, friends!

This is late going up because I am scrambling at the moment. I have a make-up test this morning that I found out about yesterday evening. Not much studying has been done and I am more than a little panicked! I thought I was going to take my test on Wednesday, so I am a little unprepared to take it this morning :-( Anyway, fingers crossed it goes well.

Oh by the way, I did make an 'A' on my Economics test I had before I left. I found that out yesterday as well. I cannot believe I did so well. I was sure I had made a low 'B' or something. It is the most boring class ever too!

Ok, so today is lesson #2 of cardmaking with your Cricut. Today's card is made using Picturesque and Paper Lace again. Today's technique is making a shaped card. Sometimes you just don't want the plain Jane A2 size, but don't want to pull out DS or Gypsy to weld a new shape. Well, some cartridges already have some cards ready to cut. Some of the are shapes, but some are still rectangular, but have interesting pieces and parts. The card feature on Picturesque has interesting pieces and parts.

This dragonfly card is very simple to make and can be used for many different occassions. I just love anything with dragonflies or butterflies, so I have cut both cards from this cartridge at some point.

I used Bo Bunny Double Dot paper and Papertrey Ink ribbon. The card is cut out at 4 3/4".

Happy Birthday is from Paper Lace and is cut out at 3/4"

The dragonfly's wings are cut at 2 3/4"

Thanks so much for stopping by! I am off to study some more as my test is in an hour and a half!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Congrats! Butterfly card using Picturesque and Paper Lace cartridge.

Hello, friends!

I am back from the most wonderful trip EVER! I had the best time meeting all of the winners of the cruise and teaching my class. I have to tell you all that the cruise line we went on was incredible! If any of you are thinking about going on a cruise take a look at Holland America. The service was SPECTACULAR and the food was INCREDIBLE! I could not have been happier with everything about that cruise!

Also, I met some really wonderful people and got to see some people that I already knew. We all had a blast together. It was so fun. If Cricut ever does another cruise giveaway, make sure you send in your scratch off's for the second chance giveaway! It seemed like there was quite a few people that won the cruise that way.

Today's card is actually one of the cards that I was going to teach on the boat, but ended up teaching a book instead. In fact, all of the cards that I am showing this week were ones I was going to teach on the boat. They are all a bit more simple than my usual cards, but I was going for a basic cardmaking with your Cricut class.

This first card was to show how to use a Cricut cut as your focal point. You see, there are many ways to use your Cricut in making cards and this is the easiest and first one I will show you.

The butterfly tag is cut using Picturesque and the sentiment is from Paper Lace.

I cut the tag out at 2 1/2".

I cut the butterfly out as a layer at 1 1/2".

Congrats was cut at 1/2".

The paper I used is Bo Bunny Double Dot.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I missed you all very much and have lots to show and teach you this week!

Have a MAGICAL Monday!

I love you card made using the Paper Lace cartridge.

Hello, friends!

I hope you are all staying warm and are having a great week! My little one has been sick all week and so I have being playing nurse maid. *Sigh*...not always very fun, but my little guy is so sweet when he is poorly!

Today's card is made using the Paper Lace Cricut cartridge. This cartridge is tons of fun and I think it is very modern, but has a tinge of a vintage feel. 

I used Bo Bunny paper and core'dinations cardstock.

I cut the main cut out at 4". I then cut the smaller hearts out to layer at 1 3/4".

I used stickles and my white signo pen to add just a little bit more.

Thanks for stopping in!!

Have a tremendous Thursday!
