Personalized lantern cards

I really enjoy making Christmas cards that are more personal than ones you buy in a store. I love that with my Cricut and a printer I can easily do that. Last year, I made paper ornaments. This year, family names on a lantern.

I also LOVE seeing my paper ornaments on my friends and family's Christmas trees! It warms my crafty heart.

Haunted Halloween layout

Our daughter loves the store Spirit Halloween. We always visit every fall so I was so happy for her when she got hired there as her first job! I resisted taking a picture of her at work but took this one instead of her entering the store. For this layout, I used print and cut for the logo and I also journalled with a Cricut pen. I just love making Halloween scrapbook pages!

Winnipeg Jets Playoff Banner

The Winnipeg Jets fans are known for their Whiteout during the playoffs. Therefore, I knew this wasn’t going to the a colourful banner. (Yes, that’s a goal horn on my mantle.) This project was super quick to create!

It has been years since I made a project using print and cut with my Cricut Explore. I even had to calibrate my machine! I am very impressed with the updates to this feature. The registration marks are different and the cut was so precise. I definitely need to use this awesome feature more often. It worked so well to print the whiteout logo rather than try and cut out all the tiny parts.

GO JETS GO!

Twelve Days of Christmas Projects - Day 7 - Leg lamp card

Welcome!
Today's Christmas card featuring the leg lamp from one of our favourite holiday movies. Our family loves A Christmas Story. The hubs and I even saw it live on stage last year.

The leg lamp is a png file that I found online. I used the print and cut feature with my Explore. The snowy window is from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge.

Twelve days of Christmas Projects - Day 1

WELCOME!

Thanks for stopping in. Today is day 1 of Christmas projects that I will be featuring. I was thrilled when Cricut added the print and cut feature on the Explore. This penguin was one of my first things I printed. He is from the Santa's Village Imagine Cartridge.

See you tomorrow!

Cricut Explore Print and Cut

Hi Everyone! I am on day 13 of owning a Cricut Explore. Yes, that means my free subscription ends tomorrow. :(

Last night, Cricut Explore had an update. They released the print and then cut feature. The first step is calibrating your machine in using this feature. Design Space explained every step along the way. This is my first printable cut ever! It's from the imagine cartridge Greeting Cards Inside Out.

So, then I tried a regular Cricut cartridge cut. This cut is from the Movie Night cartridge. The only step to remember is to hit "flatten" if you only want one layer printed and cut.

I am still very much a newbie, but so far, I am loving this machine. There are many youtube videos on explaining how to get set up to print and cut as well as the information on the Cricut.com website.
