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 ...

Cricut Card Making Ideas Using Mini Monograms Cartridge
Having so many Cricut card ideas is so much fun when using the Mini Monograms Cricut Cartridge. I also added some Penny Black Zoophabet stamps for that personalized touch. Colored with Copic Sketch and Prismacolor markers for a clean, professional look.
Why would anyone who owns a Cricut Expression cutting machine, some rubber stamps ever purchase a greeting card from a store again. I have not purchased a greeting card from a store in at least 12 years. I love sending cards with my personal touch. I think that it means so much more, since alot of thought has to be put into handmade vs store bought. Don’t you think so? Handmade Greeting Cards are the way to go. So lets go and make some Cards!

Anyway, now I am making my first Joans Craft World video. Some of our fellow crafty friends make it look so easy. Well let me tell you I think, no I don’t think, I know that I really need to practice. I thought I did a great take only to find out that all you could see on the screen was my hands and a white piece of paper, and not what I was doing. Oh well, I guess that is the learning curve of making videos. I just need to finish editing and then it will be up for all to see.
