Now that you’re more familiar with Cricut Explore One™, Cricut Explore Air™ and Cricut Design Space™, it’s time to chat about some of the really neat things you can create when you put it all together. 

As you’re getting familiar with your Cricut machine, it’s a great idea to take advantage of the free Make it Now™ projects and images that you get with Cricut Design Space™. 

For example, check out this adorable 3D Hot Air Balloons Mobile. It’s a fun, easy starter project and makes for the perfect baby shower or toddler’s birthday gift (and can you believe it's made with felt?). And what’s a gift without a card? Cricut has an incredible selection of card examples made with Cricut Explore machines. There’s even a whole selection dedicated to everything baby, which is where I came across this cute baby shower card. 

Birthday
What better way to tell someone how special they are than with a hand/Cricut-made card and gift? This super fun shaker card is perfect for a 21+ birthday. And even if you purchase a gift, you can always use your Cricut Explore machine to personalize it. For example, if you bought a friend a purse or a wallet, you could use your machine to monogram it with their initials. Or if you bought them a plain shirt or sweater, you could customize it with a fun image or statement. 

I love this sparkly pineapple t-shirt. All you need is a blank shirt, a roll of Cricut Iron-on, and images from the Cricut® Summer Love image set. 

Pool Party
Soak up the summer fun with a pool party! You can use your Cricut Explore to create everything from invitations to decorations. Here are some really creative ideas for how to add some special splash to a pool party. 

Engagement/Wedding
Make your own beautiful table decorations, banners, party favor boxes, cards, and more for the happy couple in just a few minutes! You’ll find some really impressive ideas in Cricut’s Design Space, such as this lovely Mr. & Mrs. card. 

There are an unbelievable number of project examples in the Design Space, which are categorized by type (e.g. baby, holidays, home décor, school, food, etc.) and by level (easy, moderate, and advanced). You can also find a ton of great ideas for projects on Cricut's Blog and Pinterest page. 

The summer season is a perfect time to get your very own Cricut machine and familiarize yourself with Design Space and all the incredible projects you can create. Try out a few projects each month and you’ll be amazed at how easy it is. By the time the holiday season rolls around, you’ll be a Cricut pro and will wow your friends and family with your stunning crafting skills! 

Happy crafting!

Ok, Cricut. My mind is blown.

Let me start by saying, I did a lot of research before deciding on whether I would go Team Cricut or Team Silhouette.  I even considered a few other devices.  However, after much deliberation, I went with Team Cricut, in particular, the Cricut Explore.

I have read and heard a lot of comments about changes in the company, how customer service was really ramped up, etc.  I did not expect to have an experience with customer service before I even plugged up my unit.  Here's what happened....

Like a kid waiting for Christmas day, that is exactly how I felt waiting on my Explore to arrive.  It came the day before my birthday this month.  Bonus!  I opened up my box, inspected everything and discovered the mat was bent in half.  A pretty definite crease that I wasn't sure I could work with.  So I went to a favorite site devoted to all things Cricut on Facebook.  The girls gave me some tips on how I could correct the crease, so I was good with that.  Before the conversation was over, a Cricut rep pops in to the group and asks me for my mailing address so she can remedy the situation and send another one pronto.  I assured her I was ok with the fix it suggestions, but no....she was sending me another. 

Remember when I said Cricut has ramped up their customer service?  I was not kidding.  The hubs told me a package had arrived from Cricut.  Well, I knew what it was so I didn't bother opening it until late in the evening.  Not only did I get a new mat, all flat and uncreased (yay!), but there was also a brand new cartridge, an extra german carbide blade (you need to know about those blades) and a thank you card.  Mind blowing, to say the least.  So thank you Cricut for going the extra mile when you didn't have to.  A little publicity goes a long way, right?  Smart thinking, Cricut!

Shutterfly 40% off everything - ends 1/21/15 (Love my pillow!)

I am so excited about the pillow I just got in the mail.  I had ordered this for my mom for her birthday and presented it to her today.  She was thrilled!  I have to say, I am so pleased with how it turned out.  Just so you know, when I loaded up this photo of my son and went through the checkout process, I got a  "low resolution" symbol on my picture that indicated the quality was not good.  I took a chance and couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  The quality looks pretty darn good to me!

Right now, through 1/21/15, everything is 40% off at Shutterfly!  Use it on a pillow!  Or, photos, or other gift items......Valentine's Day is right around the corner, Easter, Mother's Day...get a jump start with this awesome deal! The pillow size I chose was 12'' x 16" and there is one larger size as well.
