I Decorated My Cricut Explore with Vinyl

I Decorated My Cricut Explore with Vinyl!
This is my first vinyl project ever! I am happy with how it turned out.

The Creation Station was done in my own handwriting.
I wrote out Creation Station on a white piece of paper.
I scanned the handwriting into my computer.
I uploaded the image into Cricut Design Space.
I cleaned up the image. I saved it as a simple image.
I chose the vinyl setting on the Cricut dial.
It cut out beautifully. It was so simple.
The flower is from the Sophie Cricut Circle Cartridge.
I don't know why I haven't done more vinyl projects.
I guess I was uncomfortable trying something new.
I know I will be doing more vinyl projects in the future.
It was fun and easy to do!!

Happy Crafting!!

Anna Griffin Name Tag and Treat Bag

I made Anna Griffin Name Tags to Match the Treat Bag I made yesterday. It is in the Make It Now projects. You can customize the project to fit your needs. I customized the file to write the names on the tags then cut in 3 layers on one mat. The font I used was Storybook.
I added some pearls and ribbon to dress it up.

 

Enjoy!!

Happy Crafting!!

Tools I purchased to use with Cricut Explore

These are the tools I purchased from HSN to use with my Cricut Explore.
The tool kit was shown as one set. But, when I received the tool kit it came as the tool kit with the Scoring tool in separate packaging. I also bought the Metallic Pen set.  I really like the new tool kit.
I wasn't going to get it but the tools are really nice.

Happy Crafting!!

Anna Griffin Bow and Treat Bag

What can I say I just love the Anna Griffin images that came with the Explore.

This was just one of many reasons why I purchased the Explore.

My first intricate cut using the Cricut Explore

My first intricate cut using the Cricut Explore. This is an Anna Griffin doily. It cut beautifully! It is 6-1/2". It is a beautiful cut!

My Cricut Explore Arrived Today!!!

My Cricut Explore arrived today!! I am so excited! So far I like what this machine can do. I'm very happy with the Design Space software. I bought a rolling utility cart to house my machines. Since the Cricut Explore requires an internet connection. I can just roll my machine over to my computer and cut away. I really like the set up I have with using a rolling cart. I did have to call customer support to get up and running. Somehow I missed the landing page to set up and register the Explore. After I registered the Explore I was able to access the Anna Griffin Images that came with the HSN Cricut Explore package. I made some test cuts and I really like this machine. I am very excited to have it!!
