Come Craft Cricut Pop Up Cards with ME!

 Come Craft Cricut Pop Up Cards with ME!

I recently bought myself a Cricut Maker for Christmas. After being married for 28 years we just kinda buy our own Christmas presents.

 When I started my crafting, years ago, Cricut came out with their first machine.  It seemed so awesome to be able to cut anything in any size.  My husband found it for a good deal and I got it for Christmas 2007.  I loved it! I still used it up till around 9 years ago when I upgraded to a Cameo.  I am still a Cameo girl but as I check out the Cricut stuff these days, I am impressed with how far they have come.  I pay 9.99 a month for Cricut access which allows me to use their font and image library.  If you do not have this access the cards are around 2.00 each to download and use indefinitely.  

I was recently at a crop and a new friend made a 3d card, (hers was a unicorn) and she made this 3d card so easily.  It was so adorable!  I was impressed so I had to try it out myself.  Cricut has directions on their cut files but they seemed a little confusing to me.  I searched YouTube for directions and watched it as I put it together which helped a lot.  It was so easy to make.  

Cricut splits the images up on separate mats so that you can cut each color by itself.  Cricut has all the elements, card, and even the envelope cut files.

To use these files with the maker, you need a scorer tool, pen, and a cut tool.

Cricut will tell you when to insert each blade or pen and it will cut, score, and write out the lines.  

When it was done cutting all the colors, I searched YouTube and knew I would find someone putting these together.  It was super simple and turned out so cute.


This was the first one I made, it is a basket poppy card but I omitted the basket handle.  I just didn't like it as much.

This is the front of the card

This is the envelope.


This is the inside that pops up when you open the card up.


Next, I made a cupcake card.  Isn't this adorable?

This is the popped up inside of the card.

I am ready to try them all.  I think they are just so adorable and although it does take a long time to make them, it's fun.  What a great gift to give someone, I know I would never throw away a card like this one!

Have you made any pop up cards like this one?  Where do you get 3d pop up card cut files?  I would love to hear about them.

Come and make your own sublimation spray with me!

  Come make some sublimation spray with me! You are asking yourself what is sublimation spray and what is it used for? Well, as you may or may not know, you have to sublimate on polyester.  The higher the % of polyester the higher chance your image will stay on the item you are subbing on. Well, I found a way to make some spray that you can spray on cotton or any other fabric and it will sublimate.   For instance, I tried sublimating on this random patch I have.  I don't know what it is made of so i wanted to see if it would work.  It didn't.   Random Patch with no sub spray: Then I made the sublimation spray. Items you need: Polycrylic protective finish, I used clear satin but you can use clear matte as well. Spray Bottle Water Then your usual sublimation products: Sub paper Sub printer Heat press Fabric to sublimate on To make the spray, use 8 ounces of water and 2 tablespoons of Polycrylic.  Mix them together into a jar (I used a maso...

Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinder's with me!

  Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinders with me! A few months ago I went to a 2 day event that was sponsored by Spellbinders and it was so much fun.  We got a ton of spellbinders dies and toured the offices and warehouse.  We did a couple make and takes at the office and one was with the Betterpress system.  I fell in love with the crispness of the press and how beautiful the cards turned out.  Its rally hard to see unless its in person but the image is pressed into the cotton paper making it look like a professional print. The better press works with a lot of different machines including the BigShot, Vagabond, Sizzix Switch, and Spellbinders Platinum.  It really just needs to fit the Betterpress through without an issue.  I would imagine if you can fit an old steel rule die, you can fit the Betterpress inside the machine. I am involved in a monthly card swap and decided to use my Betterpress for them. You first put your metal press plate on the...
