Cricut Craftyness

In the great state of SC we don't usually see much snow...but lately we have had our share of that wonderful white stuff.  So due to being stuck inside I have had much more time to play on my cricut and create.  I am so thankful to have it because I may have gone crazy from the containment of my house if not for it!  Anyways, I wanted to share some of my latest creations!

First Project!  A little home decor

Step 1:  I sprayed some frames that I bought for 75 cents each

Step 2: I used my cricut to cut out the word "HOME" in brown card stock

Step 3: I traced around the glass of my frames and cut pretty green paisley card stock to fit in each frame

Step 4: I put the card stock in the frames (no glue needed) and placed them on top of my T.V. (aka my mantle)

Simple quick project that (I think) makes a big impact

Before: it needed something for sure!

After

Total cost of project: less than $6

SUPER!!



Second Project!  Baby name sign for my friend's new baby girl

Step1: I spray painted another frame I got for 75 cents

Step 2:  I used my cricut to cut out the name and tree branches

 Step 3: I cut a piece of green card stock to fit in the frame

and cut the birds out of a printed piece of card stock

Step 4: I glued everything and put it in the frame

Total cost of project: less than $5

Third project!  Birthday card and envelope for my nephew

I didn't take step by step photos of this project, however, it was super simple too.  I used my cricut Wild Card cartridge to cut everything.

Well I hope that these simple and inexpensive projects have inspired you!  I purchased all of the frames I used in these projects a while back at a store I use to work at, but great places to find frames for cheap are Dollar Tree, Ross, TJ Maxx, Good Will and yard sales!  Remember spray paint can do wonders! 

My advice: When you look at something...look at what it could become not what it is at that moment! 

I hope you have a happy day!
