3D Strawberries

Look at these adorable strawberries!!

These were very easy to make.  The step by step directions can be found at Whoopsie Daisy.

You can make these large or small.  They will hold all kinds of goodies depending on the size.

I cut these at 5 inches and they hold 2 jolly ranchers or you can turn them upside down and they will hold a tootsie pop.

Whoopsie Daisy provides a template you can use or you can go to The Frugal Crafter and she provides directions for the sucker holder.  She also provides an SVG file for those with Sure Cuts A Lot (that is what I used!)

These were quick and easy.   I spent about 20 minutes on these 3 strawberries (not including cutting time!).

If you have the Cricut cartridge, Flower Shoppe.  You could make this with the flowers on the cartridge.  Just use one with 5 connecting petals.

Enjoy!
 

It's that time of year....

Yep! September! The weather cools down, heats up, rain, mist, sprinkles, cold, hot, just right. You never know what you're going to get around here this time of year. Kind of like my Christmas cards.

This is the time I start trying to come up with an idea for a card that is great looking, but not too time consuming.

These are the first two that I've made an my family is divided.

I used my cricut with my Cri-Kit pens to draw the border and write the "merry christmas' phrase. The ornaments I cut with SCAL and then stamped the swirls with gold ink.

I love the paper on the second card, very shimmery christmas tree. All the cutting with was my cricut.

The pictures aren't that great but you get the general idea!

Mixer Card

Can you tell what my sister is getting for christmas? I cut this image with scal and my cricut. It's kind of hard to tell but the "for you" and the strips on the mixer and very shiny!! I pulled the shiny cardstock from a toy that my kids received.

SVG Files

Well, I really love my new Sure Cuts A Lot but have discovered a sad, sad fact. I have no designing talent!

But I am pretty good at searching out the people who are. My latest find is an extremely talented lady from Sweden.

If you are in need of some new files to cut be sure to check out her website.
