St. Patrick's Day Feeling Lucky Card

I made 3 different versions of this card.

               

The card on the left I wrote I feel Lucky with the Explore. I filled it in with stickles.  

The 2 posts on each side of the pot of gold I wrote and cut.

The pot of gold I fussy cut 

The center card I cut out as the original images.

I cut it in green and then black and yellow.

Then I fussy cut the pieces and adhered them to my card.

The card on the right I did the same as the card on the left.

Except I fussy cut the pot of gold differently.

The Cricut cartridge you can find this card on is Spring Holiday Cards.

Happy Crafting!!

Chalkboard Signs

I made some Chalkboard Signs with the Cricut Explore and Design Space.
I am having so much creating embellishments with this machine and software.
I was experimenting with different colors and fonts to see which I liked best.

 

The label is from Cricut cartridge lacy labels. 

The fonts I used were Cricut Alphabet and Chalkboard fonts.

Easter Card In A Box

 I've seen a lot of Card In A Box cards on Facebook. So I had to try one out myself.
 This is a Lori Whitlock svg file.

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!!

Thank You Card And Anna Griffin Treat Bag

 I made in the Make It Now project in Cricut Design Space.
I'm having a ball playing with my Cricut Explore. There is so much to do with this machine.

 

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.
