Cutest Cricut Cards Ever!!

Well... Texas got hit by an ice storm and it was beautiful! School was out for 2 days and we loved it! I actually took time to play with my Cricut Design Studio this past week and have had a blast! I learned how to download cut files from the internet and found quite a few blogs with wonderful information & files. But I found some just adorable ones over at Okie Ladybugs . Look at the cutest cards that I have ever made and I did it with cut files from Okie!

I stamped the top of the slider card with a cute "Life is so sweet" stamp...

Okie Ladybug calls the card below a "Flap Fold" card... you can get the cut file for it on her blog HERE. She also has a place to make donations if you like her stuff enough to download it.

She also included the cut file for the envelopes too! I added my own touch to it by cutting an 'S' out of the front so that the patterned paper would show thru!! Cute, huh?! The 'S' actually looks like it is glued on, but it's not!

Well... I'm off to find more CDS cut files!!! I've found and whole nother world out there!! LOL!

Cutie Pie Invitations

Okay... I was tickled pink when a friend from church asked me to make a 'few' invitations for a Pie Social that we are having this coming Saturday. It's National Pie day. I have a cute little pie stamp and had made this card a while back with it...



But I wanted to do a cute pie diecut if possible. So, I went to my Cricut Design Studio software and did a search for pie... sure enough... hidden behind the female pilgrim in the Paper Dolls cricut cartridge was a cute little pie:



So I used red gingham paper that I got 6 for $.96 at JoAnns this week and also cut red scalloped circles with the Mini Monograms cricut cartridge to assemble the front of my invite. The details were printed inside on my computer. Oh and did I tell that only a 'few' invitations meant one hundred...lol! They filled up my dining room table because I put clear stickles for the heat lines coming up out of the pie... cute!! I really enjoyed making these invitations and the fact that they were for my church family made it even better.



So, I pulled out my little red riding hood basket and lined it with matching red gingham napkins and lined all the invites up in it. That way is was easy to pass them out after church this past Sunday. The pie social is this Saturday at 4pm... anyone wanna come? LOL!



Oh! And I am looking for some good pie recipes... something other than apple.

In a Card-making mood...

I got alot accomplished today... it was busy... but I got alot accomplished. I worked in my new studio all day and loved it! I would work a little on the computer then go and work a little at my table, load my cricut and go back to my computer. The hum of my big cricut is in the background even as I type this post. I got alot accomplished today and I feel good.

I am in the card-making mood now. Thinking about all the holiday cards I want to make for the upcoming retreats. I started making tons of scalloped cuts today for cards. I like this cute little 'Homemade Memories' stamp... what do you think?



I made this card for my mom... she's in Spain and I miss her.




Shhh... this one is for my neice Sara! Her birthday is one week from today!
