I’ve been wanting one of these for a few years now and when the black Friday sales came around, the deal was too good to pass up (I saved $200!). I have been crafting like crazy since I got it. First I decorated my Cricut (with black cats of course).

I did the paper flowers I already posted. Then I also had to use my Cricut to make the swap gifts for my partners in the Little Good Things swap.
This first one is a shadowbox of Hogwarts. It was going to be a light box but I didn’t check the size of the led candle I bought in it before hand. At least it still looks cool. Took lots of trial and error to get things right.
My second partner liked Doctor Who and since I really wanted to do something mandala, I found this one and it was perfect. Very fiddly to weed and it took me 2.5 hours to complete!
And fresh off the mat, I found another one to do, this time a cat (there will be lots of cats, lol). This one took me…five…hours…to weed. I still like weeding. I find it a bit relaxing. This one is small though and was fiddly so I lost some parts of it (some swirls and dots in the face mostly). Since I was making this for myself, I’m not too worried and still love how it came out. This is on another floating frame like the Tardis one above.
My next project with these will probably be to finally embellish one of my paintings, which is the main reason I got the machine. I’m definitely going to be putting this Cricut to good use!
The Harry Potter and Doctor Who ones I got from Etsy. The others I got from design space. The d20’s I posted after I found a basic image for and did print to cut on label paper.
Haha, it is very addictive, isn’t it?
I have a Silhouette Cameo, and when I first got it, I was looking around what else I could decorate
Now I mainly use mine with HTV, for shirts or onesies.
Love all the projects you’ve done so far!
Has Cricut software too? I use Silhouette software Business edition, which gives me several extra options. I can scan a pic for example.
Anyway, especially the Tardis, ohh I can so imagine how long the weeding took you!!
I love all the things you can do with a cricut, and of course that kind of deal can’t be passed! Great job with all the projects! And may you have many more projects.I don’t know which I like the most, I mean, they the geeky ones are awesome, but I do like the bee
