Love Struck Layout - Cricut

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing another layout I had created with a valentine’s –love theme.

Here is a view of the entire layout. I actually used my cricut for several of the elements. I had made a version of this layout a LLOOOONG time ago for a class I taught and as I was going through my “valentine” stuff, I found my extras bag of goodies and decided to freshen it up. The majority of it was created with cuts from my various cricut cartridges.

The Love Letters were from the Mini Monograms Cartridges.

The Struck Letters were from the Base Camp Cartridge.

The Wings, Hearts arrow and sash from the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge

The Scallop Circles were from the Art Philosophy Cartridge.

The bear was from the George and Basic Shapes Cartridge. With the exception of the arms. Those were hand drawn at the time. The background paper was from the Bo Bunny Oh La La Cupid Collection. The Black and White Polka Dot Paper was from Pebbles, Inc. Basics Stack from Hobby Lobby.

I used the following inks:

This bear was made right around the time I created my first Cricut piecing. If you would like to see some of the other ones I have made, you can visit my gallery HERE.  I am working on making recipes for all of these, but it always seems to get pushed back. I am sorry about that, but will work to get it done soon.

Gathering My Family 4 Fun Layout.

I made this layout because we LOVE to have dessert. Honestly, quite a bit too much but my daughter loves to bake and we love to eat….so you get the picture…lol! I will put a picture of each of my children and hubby on this layout eating something deeeelish!!!

Close up of “pie” die cut from Block Party. I used some Distress stickles to give it that texture on the top. I didn’t want glittery but rather “sugary”. The Baker is also from the Block Party Cartridge. I did use my gypsy to “hide” her facial features.

Close up of the tags with Vellum letters.
These were from the Quick Quotes Club Q kit.

Close up of vellum quote. This is from the Itty Bitty Box Quotes: Babies, Kids & Family.

Design note: I ran this quote through my cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder to give it that little extra texture. The dots are raised and turned white!

Cupcake Box-Cricut and Template

Hello everyone,

Here is a cute Cupcake Box project I made. using the following items:

Cupcake Box: Cutting File (WPC, GSD, SVG)
Cricut Cartridges: Mini Monograms and Celebrations
MS Border Punch: Cupcake Border
EK Success Punch: Daisy Border

View of Top.

Side View 2

I used the Mini Monograms cartridge to cut out the scallop frame. I cut out a piece of transparency and sandwhiched it between the scallop and the top of the box. That way when you open the box, you don't see the mechanics on the inside.

I used the Celebrations Cartridge to cut out the tag, the word Celebrate and the cupcake. I inked the cupcake pieces with Lime Pastel, Orchid Pastel and Amber Clay Chalk Inks.

I used the MS Cupcake border punch and the EK Success Daisy border punch to create the borders around the box.

Finally, I used some Lavendar Liquid Pearls and some StarDust Stickles to create the pearl drops and the glittery effect on the letters of Celebrate and the frosting of the cupcake.

*UPDATE*
Sorry, FREE file no longer available. Please visit PCW for all our very reasonably priced cutting files and digital printable stamps.
