Two Cricut Cartridges Makes For One Perfect Pear Criut Card Idea
I just love these machines, that is my Cricut Expression and Gypsy. If you have the smallest Cricut Card Idea, you can make it into the best card idea ever.
If you are in the “crafty world” you have seen this pear before. But when you actually make it yourself it is sooo perfect, cute and also quick.
All I did was cut out two pears using the From My Kitchen Cricut Cartridge using the Cricut Expression machine. Then using my Gypsy and the Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge I typed the words and also welded them together so that they would cut out in one piece instead of individual letters (makes it so much better when adhering to the card).
I then used some Memento Dye Ink color New Sprout and Stampin Up Dye Ink colors Glorious Green and Forest Foliage. Using some blenders to add some color to the edges of the pear for the soft real look.
For the background I choose paper from DCWV and also just a scrap piece of brown paper that I had left over from the shadow pieces that I used for the pear, for the bottom border of the card.
Look how great this card looks. You will be able to send this to any perfect couple on your list for an Anniversary or just because they are a Perfect pear!
Make it a Great Day and don’t forget to leave time to Craft!

Handmade Birthday Cards Are So Much Fun To Make When You Have A Cricut Expression Machine And A Great Cricut Card Idea
I always loved to make handmade cards, but it is so much fun with a Cricut Expression machine. My nephew is turning 13 and I needed to make a “cool” card. When Luke was out visiting us a few years ago, we were always laughing so I wanted his card to make him laugh.
So using the Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge I cut out the cow and all of the layers. Added some stickles to give him (the cow) a little “pizazz”. Then using the Cricut Gypsy, I welded together the phrase for the front of the card using Plantin Schoolbook and before I added it to the front of the card with pop dots, I used a white opaque Martha Stewart marker and added some polka dots. Oops I almost forgot the grass is also from Plantin Schoolbook grass border.
For the inside of the card I used the Beyond Birthdays Cricut cartridge for the phrase Happy Birthday and then I found a similar font for the birthday boys name.
Hope you enjoyed my birthday card, and my funny sense of humor. Wishing Luke a Fantastic 13th Birthday!

A Great Cricut Card Idea for a Get Well Card Using Life’s A Beach Cartridge
Happy Tuesday Everyone ~ Hope you are all having a Wonderful Day
Today I needed to make a get well card for a dear friend who is going through a rough patch with his health. I’m sure that he is receiving alot of cards with your typical message inside. I on the other hand wanted to make him a handmade get well card to definitely put a smile on his face, so I decided to make a Get Whale Soon Card.
I cut the whale with my Cricut Expression machine using the Life’s A Beach Cricut cartridge, along with the border of waves.
Then I used my Cricut Gypsy for the inside message using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the font and the welding function to attach the letters together.
I had to give this card some “bling” so I used Baby Blue Stickles to add to the waves, and also made some polka dots on the letters with my Zig writer marker.
I hope that this card is what the doctor ordered to put a smile on his face. Hope you like it too!

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!
