Valentines Day Card

I thought this card was a fun one to make. I used an SVG image and lettering from the internet. The bees are fun images. They have a child like look to them.


Supplies Needed;

Sure Cuts Alot

Cricut Machine

Solid and Printed Card stock

Clear Glue and Black Pen


Cut out 2- 2 inch bees, Lettering 2 in bold, 1- 2 1/4 inch strip for  top of card.

After the lettering is cut out, glue them onto a small mat that fits just right for each word. Glue everything to the card add accents with black pen.

Have fun with this, use your imagination and other images including wording to fit your specific likes.

Birthday Card

Hi everyone, good day to you all. I have had two days to do many changes on my blog and post things. That is what happens when you have two sick children with colds and our homeschool day is modified. So, here is a cute birthday invitation. Mix the colors up, cut a different shape instead of the cupcake, Use different words. Enjoy!!

Supplies Needed;

Cricut Cartridge - Cuttin Up

Plain Cardstock

Printed Paper

Markers, Clear Glue

Blade 6, Speed Med or Low

First cut  1- 2 3/4 in "Your So Invited", 1- Cup Cake (Real Dial Size), 1- 3/4 in and 1-1/2 in heart. Remember you what you would like best.

Cut 1 piece printed paper 6 in wide X 4 1/2 in high, then use decorative scissors to cut around all four edges.

I made my own card 6 1/2 in wide X 5 in high when folded.

Add decorative accents with your colored pen.

Valentines Bag

I decided the other day to make something fun for Valentines Day. Check out this very cute little bag. Thought it would be fun to put some conversation hearts in it for my kids. Enjoy this fun little craft using your Cricut Machine and Sure Cuts A Lot computer program.

The wording and the heart were done with the SCAL program. For Christmas my husband blessed me greatly with a mini laptop and cd/dvd recording drive. Having the SCAL and laptop has truly opened up a whole new world with my Cricut Expression. I love the fact that I can weld letters together. Sure makes putting words on my projects a whole lot easier. If that was the only thing I used the SCAL program for it is so worth it.

Supplies Needed;

Cricut Cartridge - Plantin School Book

Sure Cuts Alot or Cricut Design Studio

Solid Colored Card Stock

Glitter, Clear Liquid Glue

Sticky Dots

Terrifically Tacky Tape

Blade 5, Speed Low or Med

With your computer program SCAL or Cricut Design Studio create a heart with the words typed into it. See you manual for directions. It actually is very simple. Cut this design out. Next using the Cricut Cartridge Plantin School Book, cut a 7 inch bag.

Cut 2, 1 inch small flowers from which ever cartridge you would like to use.  Cut 2, 1/2 inch flowers from a different color to layer on top of the larger flower. In fact you could use a different shape if that is your choosing.

Use your clear glue pen to put dots or lines on the flowers and heart. Sprinkle glitter onto the heart and flowers. Let dry for about 10 minutes.

In order to get straight fold lines, use the bone tool and ruler to make sure the small measure lines are lined up. Put the bag together with the Terrifically Tacky Tape, overlapping the tabs.

One the bag is put together, adhere the heart with the liquid glue pen and flowers with glue dots Or use an adhesive you have on hand.

This project was very simple and fun to put together. My kids are going to love their little bags with candy.

Remember think outside of the box and see what happens :)
