Lets Get Buggy Cricut Friday Episode 2

Hello all Cricuteers,

Okay so it is almost 10:00PM and I just remembered it is Friday so this week I am going to be talking about a great resource for Cricut owners or people looking to buy a cricut!

The Cricut website

you will find a
  • shopping section
  • Product listing
  • information section
  • community section
  • rewards section
  • education section
In the community you will be able to find inspiration on the cricut cartridge exploration boards or just chat with other cricut members or information about different carts and tools

There has been some controversial topics discussed on the cricut boards, it may not be asked out loud but it is expected that you are very respectful to others and to the company while on the boards!

Stop by today and see what is new with the Cricut!

I have some exciting news but I can not share quite yet but hopefully soon:)

Lets Get Buggy Cricut Friday #1

Okay I am super excited about this new program how fun Cricut Fridays is going to be like a big crafting PaRtY!!!!!

For the first installment of Cricut Fridays I decided to try my hand at the new popular sweet treat greeting cards!!!!


I loved this card however the sweet treat cup AKA the candy mold is not big enough, I am still in search of the perfect mold, I have a single jelly bean inside but I thought mini m&ms or mini jelly beans inside would be better!

Close up: see the blue border hanging out, that is the trick to pull this out and then it opens the secret compartment to release your sweet treats without messing up your beautiful card!!

I used Paisley Cartridge(Love it)
I could not find Wilton candy molds but used a chocolate covered cherry mold from AC Moore's
this is super easy to make I am going to link a video to a very creative blog where I learned how to make these
Little Miss Crafter Blog

Her video

Super helpful you can also find these cards on the Cricut message boards


I used paisley cartridge to cut the frog out at 3.5 inches with light cardstock I layered it with black CTMH textured cardstock to make the eyes and mouth
pressure medium and speed medium

I ran out of time but I am going to ink around the edges of the frog and card and maybe add an embellishment~ The possibilities are endless
Create your very own sweet treat card leave me a comment linking to your creation so we can see all of the fabulous sweet treat cards!!!!

Happy Friday

My other passion

The Cricut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay if you have a cricut you know exactly what I mean, or at least I hope you understand... I love my bug(s) yeah I have 2, I use them all the time, I am learning more and more about the cricut every time I turn my bug on! I don't know how I scrapped without it all those years! I am currently saving my money for the Gypsy oh yeah then I think my little family will be complete I want to start a new blog program called Lets get Buggy Cricut Fridays, I will post a new cartridge, a new project, a tutorial, organization, my cricut station, and some inspiration, maybe some contests so you will want to be sure to stop by here on Fridays.... Yes I know today is Saturday but this is just a preview, next Friday will officially be the start of my Lets get Buggy Cricut Friday's Today I wanted to showcase two embellies I made last night using the new Paisley cartridge (Oh I love this cart)


Owl # 1 page#-42 cut at 5 1/2 inches
Owl-I used heavy cardstock (CTMH textured) for the base so I used the multi-cut function on the E with my pressure at medium, speed at medium and blade housing at 5
I cut all of my layers and used my zig glue pen for the bigger pieces and my X for the smaller pieces like his feet and stripes!
I used American Crafts pattern paper for his wings



Zebra page #-71 cut at 8 inches
Zebra- I used heavy cardstock for the base (CTMH textured) I used the multi-cut function on the E with the pressure at medium and speed at medium blade housing at 5
The car was cut with light cardstock from HL so I removed the multi-cut function and just cut it out once with all the rest of the settings the same- the flower is CTMH textured cardstock the same color one side is darker than the other so I used the lighter side as the center of the flower
Look closely at the zebras face you may see a little sparkle a nose ring( I am not a big fan of nose piercings personally, but I thought this zebra looked like she needed one, it totally works for her) I used bitty sparkles from CTMH



Perfect for a sweet 16 card or layout or a new car layout

Check out her bling... I can only imagine her rocking out in her new car to some fun music!

Both images were cut using my Expresssion

This cart is great for card making and layouts I think the images are very chic and girly but I can see some of the images being used for boy projects just change the colors!
I hope you enjoy today's little projects be sure to come back next Friday to see the first installment of Lets Get Buggy Cricut Friday's

Happy Crafting
