Christmas cards with my cricut

Here are a few cards I made for christmas with my cricut..... wish I had more time to make even more...... also a tree gift box.....

cricut glass etching and vinyl - a childs year, forever young - wine glasses, coasters....

Here are some things I made trying something new, I purchased some etching cream off trademe and bought some mirror coasters. Cut the images on my cricut with vinyl and used the negative image, then put cream in the image part and washed off after 10 minutes....

Heaps of fun and look great!















A packing box for the coasters decorated with a teapot tag and ribbon....












A wine glass for a friend, this was my first attempt at glass etching.....


















And the left over vinyl images from my next lot of coasters, decidedthey looked nice on a wine glass....







































































And lastly some plain coasters with forver young images etched on.....

Cricut Ten Pin Bowling card

I have a friends birthday coming up next week and he loves ten pin bowling so I have put this creation together using the pin from the Nifty Fifties cartridge and cut 6 (yes should really be 10!) and then cut the ball off all but one (as the ball is part of the image). I cut a strip of card for the lane, cut is with angled end, added stamped texture and drew the arrows on by hand (which don't look so good). I used 3 dimensional stickies for the front pins and added glossy accents to the ball while leaving three finger holes on the ball before the glossy accent dries. Quite pleased with this creation as a first attempt from the picture in my mind...

CRICUT Sweet Treats - YUMMY I want to lick my card!

Here are some more of tonights creations, these made me very hungry and I was so tempted to lick the glossy accent as it makes the chocolate look so real, I have never felt like I wanted to eat my cards before! Yummy!

Cricut Handyman tool belt

I just bought the Handyman cartridge after much consideration and am so pleased with it. I struggle with ideas for mens cards and this cart. is full of images.

We have just had Father's Day in NZ so I will have to hang onto this one for next year!

Everything here was cut at 2"
