Cricut Cards for Scrapbook Pal Design Team Entry

I have entered the ScrapbookPal Design Team call! I am so excited! I have purchased Cricut cartridges from this company many times and loved their quick service and free shipping with orders over $25. Check them out HERE

This first card I made using the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cat. He is SO cute! I embossed him using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot Embossing folder. I also used the Cuttlebug Pumpkin Harvest embossing folder on the Black Magic Core'dinations cardstock. It has this awesome different colored core of the cardstock that will show through after you sand the embossed paper. I love this stuff!



This card I made using the Storybook Cricut Cartridge. I cut the word "Faith" from this cartridge. This cartridge is one of my very favorites even though it is considered a font cartridge, it really is so much more. It is a MUST have for families with little girls! I used Stickles on the word "Faith" to make it pop off the card. I used the Fiskar's Threading Water punch for the orange border. The embossed stitching is from Cuttlebug's Just My Type Border set.



With Sympathy card using Cricut Storybook cartridge for the Flower border and Jasmine cartridge for the "With Sympathy".



Welcome Little One, Baby Eeyore Card using Pooh Font Cricut cartridge. How cute is a baby Eeyore? Absolutely adorable! Love him! I could not resist this image for a Baby card for a work colleague.



Here is a simple Thank You card I made using a stamp set that I used Art Glitter on. I love their superfine glitter. I used the Cuttelbug D'vine Swirl embossing folder to mimic the frosting on the cupcakes.



Paper Pups Cricut Cartridge was used for a anniversary card I made for my husband. I am sad that Provo Craft is retiring this cartridge. If you don't have this one yet, it is a MUST. An Oldie, but a Goodie for sure!



This birthday card I made for a friend's wife. He wanted a card with roses. What better Cricut cartridge to use than Walk In My Garden? I love how these roses and the vase turned out. I had to glitter the flowers and tie a bow around the vase too.



This wedding card was made using the Cricut Happily Ever After cartridge. I adore Cinderella. What little girl doesn't dream of looking like a Princess on her Wedding day?



One of my favorite Cricut cartridges is Joys of the Season. It is so pretty and classic looking. I made this Christmas card from the reindeer on this cartridge. I flocked his tail and white on his chest. It's a simple, yet elegant card.



I also like to alter products. I found these $1 wood photo frames with $1 wood letters and knew I could alter these for a couple friends who just had babies. I love the way these turned out and they were so easy. I painted the wood letters with Making Memories Acrylic paint. I used the DCWV Nursery papers to mod podge onto the wood frames and added some Prima flowers, ribbon and Making Memories tag curler.





Another must-have cartridge is Tags, Bags, Boxes & More. This cartridge is so versatile and works great on the Expression for bigger gift bags. However, you can make cute little goodie bags on the Cricut Create. These little Halloween treat bags were made on the Orignal Cricut using DCWV Halloween Glitter Stack.



I altered a Basic Grey tin box for a gift for one of my friends for Christmas. I placed a dozen handmade cards in the tin I altered. I painted the tin red, applied ribbon around the edges and adhered felt flowers with brad centers over patterned paper. I then applied the word "Joy" from the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge and a wreath from the same cartridge to the top of the tin.
