What Can You Make Using The Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge, A Cricut Expression Cutting Machine And The New Cricut Gypsy?
The answer is a really cool birthday card. The Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge is what I used to make a birthday card for my nephew Ryan who is turning 13. I had to make something “cool” and not cute since he is now a teenager. His parents (my sister) got him a digital camera and I wanted to keep that theme for his card. So I looked at all my cricut cartridges and wouldn’t you know it, I didn’t have any of the cartridges that have an image of a camera. Guess I need to make another wish list. So I looked ...
Another Fun Cricut Card Idea Using The Cricut From My Kitchen Cartridge
Some more birthday cards to share. This one is for my sister-in-law. She is a very crafty person, so I want it to be just right. Before I tell you about the card, I just have to tell you how great it is to have the new Cricut Gypsy. I designed this entire card sitting on my sofa with my cat in my lap watching game 5 of the World Series. How cool is that. The only time I needed to go into my “craft world” is to put the paper on the cricut cutting mat, and cut the images out ...
Making a Birthday Card Using your Cricut Expression Cutting Machine with the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge and your Cuttlebug Machine too!
Here is an easy card to make that looks pretty classy too! I had to make a special birthday card for our brother-in-law who was turning 60. I went looking through all of my cartridges and nothing popped out and said this is the one. So what I ended up doing was combining my Cricut Expression cutting machine, along with the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge and Cuttlebug machine using the happy birthday cuttlebug embossing folder for a fun card. Here is how I made this card: I used a white 4 x 5.5” note card. Cut a piece of checkered paper just a little smaller ...

I went though all of my Cricut cartridges and decided to use the Designer’s Calender Cricut cartridge to make these handmade cricut cards.
I found the four leaf clover and also the phrase St Patricks Day to cut with my Cricut Expression machine and to make these cards with. And you know me, I just couldn’t leave it at that, I had to add some green Stickles for that extra bling!
I just thought of other St Patricks Day Crafts that you can do. Why not cut out 2 four leaf clovers and glue them together with a tooth pick in the center to decorate some cup cakes or even put a straw in between them for a fun decorative St Patricks Day straw?
There are so many fun and creative cricut card ideas and St Patricks Day crafts that you can come with. Just have fun and for this project just think Green!
Happy St Patrick’s Everyone!

Annual Rubber Stamp Show
I almost forgot to tell you that I went to our local Rubber Stamp Show this weekend with my girlfriend Kim. This was her first show and she was like a kid in a candy store. She was only use to the rubber stamps and the stamping supplies that you see in the local craft stores.
I’m not sure what’s going on with this wonderful craft, but boy did this show get smaller then it was in previous years and to boot they are only have one show this year not two.
I did notice that one vendor in particular was busy. They were selling Copic markers. It seems like people are just finding or hearing about these markers, hey you know that I love them. Anyway, I found just a few things this year that I needed (we all need some new stamps right?). One was a cute stamp set that has just four stamps but it is of the four seasons which I thought was cute and also a stamp of my two favorite things a cat holding a cup of coffee. I also got some good deals on ink pads and embossing paste, other than that Kim got the rest. She bought so many different kinds of things that she’s going to have to show me how they turn out. For instance, blank domino (no dots) that she is going to stamp on with her new butterfly stamps, she also got some chip board blocks to stamp on, lots of brass stencils, and I better stop telling you all the cool stuff she got just in case her hubby is reading this post ~ LOL.
Check out rubber stamp events online to see if they will be in your area, and if they are go check out the different kind of things that you just don’t find in your local craft store.

Many Fun Cricut Card Ideas Using the Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge
Today I am making a Cricut Card, a birthday card to be exact, for my Godson Tyler who is turning 11 years old this month. I have so many great Cricut card ideas, but I want this birthday card to be really special and fun.
So, I got myself comfy on my sofa with my Gypsy for awhile and went through my cartridges and even some cartridges that I didn’t have, (you can view and also design with all the available cartridges with your Gypsy, you just can only cut with the cartridges that you own) to find something different, not just your ordinary birthday card look and I found it. I have such a great Cricut Card Idea!
Using the Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge, I found a fish bowl with some really cute fish and plants to put inside.
I cut the fish bowl using my Cricut Expression cutting machine at 3 inches, the fish at 1½ inches and the plant at 2 inches. I attached all the pieces to a 4×5½ white card with my glue glider pro and for the “bubbles” I used pop dots for dimension. I then added some stickles, funky fibers and a real star fish for the finishing touch. I wanted the Happy Birthday Tyler to look like bubbles coming out of the fishes’ mouth.
There are so many shapes in each cartridge, you just have to put your “creative hat” on and get crafting. You never know how it’s going to turn out, just wish for the best and remember “You Made it Yourself” , this is a handmade greeting card, which makes it even more special for the person who is receiving it!
~ Happy Birthday to my Fantastic Godson Tyler ~
Wish I could be there with you to celebrate and to give you a Big Hug & Kiss!
Make it a Great Day and don’t forget to leave time to Craft!
