Happy Birthday Masculine Gift Bag

Yesterday was my hubby's birthday and I realized I didn't have any masculine gift bags.  Do you know how hard it is to figure out which images to use for a grown up man?  After much hemming and hawing, I decided to pull out the Paper Lace cartridge and see what might fit the bill.

 I cut the Lace 2 mesh above at 7-1/2".  It was masculine looking without too much detail.  Notice the heart mesh on this page also - that would be fun to use for Valentine's Day.

This Paper Lace cartridge also has some great word art with the "Will and Grace" font, like the "Happy Birthday" I chose here and cut at 1-3/4".

This bag was just the right size for the DVD collections I got him for his birthday (Spin City Season 1, Two seasons of Bones and one season of House).  I like to pick up these bags at Joann's or Michaels when they are on sale.  

Look for more birthday related items in the future here at Everyday Cricut.  Melanie and I have discovered that while we have a million Halloween, Valentine's and Christmas cards, we are sorely lacking in birthday cards and bags.  YIKES!

Don't forget that we are giving away the New Testament Cricut Cartridge!

Sandcastle canvas made using the Fun in the Sun cartridge.

Hello, everyone!

Today I have a home decor piece made using the Fun in the Sun cartridge. This cartridge has a lot of great cuts including this sandcastle!

Here is the Cricut Craft Room file: http://www.box.com/s/462ls5bg6qmehmeogqyh

To make this I painted the canvas with aqua and sand colored acrylic paints. Then I cut out the sandcastle and popped it on with dimensional adhesive. Could it get any easier than that? I think not ;-)

Have a great day and we will be back here tomorrow!
