Cricut Explore and SVGcuts

I just love my Cricut Explore and when I stumbled onto SVGcuts.com, I was thrilled with what the Cricut can now do!  SVGcuts is an online site where you can purchase the most amazing SVG files that take your paper crafting to whole new level!

Here is my version of SVGcuts', Hearts Aflame mailbox box card.  Didn't it turn out cute?  I was on a roll using up old retired Stampin' Up! paper in addition to some other Valentine paper I had in my "stash".





Here are the four that I made....which one is your favorite?



Here's my first crafting video.....







If you have any questions, please leave me a comment and I'll be happy to help you out.

Happy stampin',

You Plus Me, Bokeh Style

It seems bokeh is all the rage doesn't it?  Stampin' Up! Stacked With Love DSP Stack has a pattern that resembles bokeh, so I thought that I would make a quick and easy card using just the paper and a stamp set.  I think it screams bokeh, don't you?


Here is a list of supplies I used to make this quick and easy, bokeh card:


If you like this DSP and stamp set, you can order your's beginning January 6 - March 31, 2015.  Plus earn one FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration catalog for every $50 you spend during that time period.  If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and I'll be happy to help you out.
