All About the Cricut

Don’t you just adore spring and all the gifts it has to offer? I always look forward to this time of year more than any other, and I especially look forward to Easter. Easter has long been my favorite holiday; I look for every possible way to celebrate it! Sometimes I like to find fresh ways to blend in with time honored traditions, such as the Easter basket. For many years I have used vintage milking buckets as Easter “baskets” for my family, before that since we lived near the beach I used sand pails filled with beach toys and candy. These days I want something a little smaller and more unique to fill with special items for friends and family.

These adorable carrot treat boxes can be presented alone filled with yummy treats or in a container as a decorative element. To create the carrot tops I ran green cardstock through a crimper and cut thin strips leaving the bottom edge intact. Secure the shredded paper to the box lid and crumple or “fluff” the top. Add a sentiment, and embellish with ribbon and twine.

Good morning!  Michele Kovack here! Easter is right around the corner and I love making little treats baskets to give to my fellow teachers! I just fill up the baskets with goodies and leave one on their desk!  It is always a sure proof way to bring a smile to their face.  I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 Cartridge to cut the Easter baskets at 5″.  After I assembled them I filled them with some paper trim by Melissa Frances, but any type of Easter grass or shredded paper would do the trick, too!

I wanted to dress up the baskets a bit so I cut an egg tag for each one.  I added a bit of lace and a cute image.  I used this cute little bunny from the Easter Magic Cricut Craft Room Exclusive digital image set and added a bit of glossy accents and glitter to his body.  I added a tiny pearl for his eye and a pom pom for his cotton tail. As a final touch, I tied a bit of twine around his neck.

Spring is on it’s way, along with Easter, Mother’s Day and probably some birthdays, anniversaries, and other special days for you and your family.  Cindy Royal here to show you a cupcake holder that I created reminiscent of a big flower that can be easily adapted to any of your upcoming special spring days, made in any color schemes or themes.

This holder accommodates a 9 oz plastic cup that will hold a mega cupcake topped with a huge cloud of frosting!  While you can insert the cupcake directly into the holder, the plastic cup makes it easier to remove the cupcake and keeps the holder clean for another treat.

Hello everyone!!  This is Amy and I am excited to get to share with you something fun I made to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.  I really love St. Patrick’s Day…….probably because that is the day that I became a mom. My oldest was born on March 17^th and so it is always fun to put together something for her as well as for the family on that day.

I created these really fun treats and straws to share with you.  I used the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive St. Patrick’s Day Cartridge.

For the straws, I cut and then assembled the “Kiss me I’m Irish” image at 2 ¼ inches and then just taped them to the front of these fun green and white party straws.
