^ For those of you who own this cartridge, you may realize that the ice cream is missing a smiley face...! when I was done cutting all the parts, I couldn't find it's mouth anywhere!!! Therefore, I left it out. haha. Probably would have been cuter with the smiley face, though!

Birthdays, Birthdays, and More Birthdays!

Hi everyone!

I've been busy with my cricut machine lately making a bunch of birthday cards!
A lot of my best buddies birthdays happen to be in January, February and April-- This is the first year I can officially give them a personalized handmade card =)

I decided to try something different instead of the traditional A2, A7 cards. This is a standard 9 card (I think that's what they call it) and they fit perfectly inside a long letter envelope.

Materials used:
- Pink cardstock 9X7.5 in, score at 3.75 in
- Blue cardstock 8.5X3.5 in
- Martha stewart edge punch
- Cuttlebug: Happy birthday
- Cupcakes cut at 2.25 in.
- Pink patterned paper from Recollections stack

Added some glitter glue ;)
Isn't this a cute card??

A little area for a personalized message and a cool rubber stamp from studiog:

Gift Card Holder

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to share this awesome video tutorial I found on the web a few weeks ago:

Cricut Christmas Gift Card Holder

I have been wanting to make something like this for a while but a lot of tutorials I've seen involve cutting up envelopes to use as pockets (maybe I'll try that one day...but I wanted to make something simple!). This tutorial was a great link and I definitely got inspired to create one myself!


I used the cuttlebug (musical florish) to spice things up.

aren't these cute??
