Happy Birthday Cricut Kate's ABC Bag

 I have been going crazy making gift bags lately!  It seems everytime I need a bag, I don't have one so I have been busy crafting up a bunch of them to have on hand.  This one was made using the Cricut Kate's ABCs cartridge and the Paper Lace cartridge (for the "Happy Birthday).  The bag came with the plaid background and the green top so I just need to add a front piece.

 For starters, this actually has four different cuts on it.  See below:

I decided to make a little scene using these cuts.  Actually, I was just going to do the flower and the "Happy Birthday" and it felt too plain.  So I started adding things.  I love the bees on this cartridge and thought they would be fun buzzing around.

 As you may have noticed, I love wiggle eyes...

 The mushrooms were actually supposed to have holes cut in them for the spots but those holes were going to be teeny tiny so I decided to skip that and just use white and black pen to make dots.

Do you make gift bags?  If so, what are your favorite cartridges to use?

I am getting ready for family to arrive for my son's First Communion tomorrow.  It's been a long road to get here as we've been teaching him the religious books at home but we're finally here.  And what's great is that he is so excited to do it.  His godparents (my brother-in-law and sister-in-law) will be arriving today from Buffalo, New York (they drove!) and we can't wait to see them.  I have just a few more errands for today and I'll be ready.

I hope you guys have a great weekend!

Thinking of You Card with NEW Paper Lace Cricut Cartridge!

I made this card and envelope using the Paper Lace Cricut cartridge for Melanie after the loss of her cousin. Really, the purples look much better in real life than they photograph so I was reluctant to post this. But hopefully, it will inspire you in your cardmaking.

It's a basic 5" x 5" card.  The background swirl layer was cut at 4-3/4" and has two layers (dark purple and lighter purple).  The "thinking of you" word art and flower were also cut using the Cricut at 2".

The "M" on the envelope, as well as that shadowed flower, is also from this cartridge.

Thanks for looking!
