Birthday Goodies with the Cricut

Hi all

Well I have finally gotten back in my craft room.  Yeah!!!  So we have a couple birthdays coming up so that is what I have been focused on in my craft room.  Today I have a couple items I made for a little girls birthday this weekend.  She is turning 4 and her Mom is throwing her a Princess tea party.  I decided to make her a t-shirt and a card, all Princess themes of course.  Here is the t-shirt:

I found this great t-shirt on clearance at Target.  I loved the sequins on the shoulders, and this little girls is very glamorous.  I used Expressions Vinyl heat transfer vinyl in white, purple, and pink.  The images and text are from Once Upon a Princess.  See my post here on how to cut the vinyl with the Cricut.  Here is the card I made:

Card Recipe:

• Used the Cricut Craft Room and a square from the Craft Room Exclusives to make the card
• Princess is from Princess Party cut at 3"
• Doodlebug rainbow twin pack
• Sentiment from My Pink Stamper

I decided to make a window card of sorts inspired by the current challenge over at Bitten By the Bug 2.   I really do think it is a great idea.  Well hope you have enjoyed the post, I may have another one tonight if I can get into gear.  The little princesses older brother is also having a birthday this weekend!!!  Thanks for stopping by.

Homemade Sticker Books

Hi all

I hope you are having a great weekend.  My weekend started out great with a fun fitness class with some girlfriends.  I am a little bit sore today but that just means I had a really good workout right!!!  So the project I am sharing today is an idea I came up with after my 4 year old kept complaining that she had nowhere to put the stickers that she would get from places like the doctor's office.  So I made my kids and a friends kids these sticker books for Christmas.  They were easy to make after I had decided what image was appropriate and personal to each child.

Each book is just a simple composition notebook that measures 9.5 in by 7.75 in.  I cut the paper from my own scrap sheets and used zip dry to adhere it to the covers.  I also covered the spines and backs of the notebooks in a similar fashion.  Here are larger individual images with the sizes and cartridges for the Cricut cuts.

The font is Character from Printing Press cut at 1.4" and 1.2".  The princess is from Princess Party cut at 4".

The font is also Character from Printing Press cut at 1.7" and 1.5".  The frog is from Create a Critter cut at 3.5".

The font is from Birthday Bash cut at 1.3" and 1".  The game controller is from Wrap it Up cut at 3".

The font is from Birthday Bash cut at 1.5" and 1".  The caterpillar is from Create a Critter cut at 3".  And last but not least...

The font is Monogram from Once Upon a Princess cut at 1".  The girl is Doll 3 from Once Upon a Princess cut at 3.5".  Her outfit is Dress 1 cut at 3.5 in.

All the Cricut cuts were designed using the Cricut CraftRoom.  I hope you enjoy these projects and have a great weekend.
