Valentines!

Made 6 Valentines last night (a little late yes I know)
I used my "sugar and spice" cricut cartridge and my "B is for boy" cricut cartridge.

Kusudama ball (Origami flower ball)

I made this yesterday.

It's made of 12 flowers, each flower has 5 petals. It took me about 4 hours to make from start to finish.

Each petal is made from a 2" x 2" square. It's about the size of a softball.

I used beads in the middle of each flower just to give it a little something special.

Felt ornaments

It's been a while, but here's some of the latest things I have been working on.

Felt Ornaments.

Made them so my daughter would be safe this Christmas.

I think I could have done better. I was kind of in a rush, and I didn't use buttons or beads, only puffy paint. Just in case my daughter decided to chew on them.


These two are gifts rather than being put on my tree. I really like how they turned out.

Cricut Wild Card Doily Card


I made 2 cards with my Wild Card Cartridge yesterday.

The bigger one was cut at 5.5" and the smaller one was cut at 4.5"

I used the black out feature for the inside white part.

The clouds were cut from my Create a Critter cartridge (sun accessory) and the rainbow was cut using my George and Shapes Cartridge. I cut out circles with the silhouette feature on.

The Happy Birthday was cut from the Create a Critter Cartridge (bear phrase) at 1.5"

I added a little ribbon on the top of each card.

Halloween Cards!

I have been making Halloween cards lately. Sending some to my mom as gifts.
**Had to use my cell to take the pictures, sorry they are so crummy**

Pumpkin Card:

These cards were made from the "Wild Card" cricut cartridge. They were cut out at 5.5". I didn't cut out an envelope for them because I have the small cricut, and I wanted bigger cards.

Not sure I like the 2nd one.


Monster Card:

For the monster cards, I used the "Wild Card" cartridge again. These are cut at 5.5" as well. They are really cute.

I added real buttons on them, and the 2nd one has black spiderweb patterned paper as the body (You can't see it because of the blurry)


Pumpkin Kitty Card:

These are my favorites.

I used the dresser card template for this card.

For the pumpkins, I cut out 3 ovals/circles for each one and layered them to make them pumpkin-y. The top layer is stuck on with a pop dot, so it gives it a little dimension. The pumpkin faces were hand drawn with a sharpie marker.

The black cats are glittery (as you can't see... sorry) They were little sticky cut outs I had in my stash of embellishments.

I will probably make a few more of the last card, then it's on to Thanksgiving cards!

New Cricut Cartridge!



I finally got my new cricut cartridge. It is the "Wild Card" cartridge.

This looks so fun! I haven't made anything with it yet, but I will soon. I have the small cricut, so I hope I am able to cut everything ok. I found a cutting guide online, so I know the max sizes I can cut each card and envelope. (This might be a good excuse to buy the bigger cricut machine!)

I will post some pictures once I make a few things. It would be fun to go through and make one of each. I might do that. I have a few cards to make for my mom, so I will probably do those first.
