I have been very busy and have not had my ear to the ground as much as I usually do. However, this past week I have noticed that several of my favorite Cricut blogs do not show Cricut anymore and mainly show other machines. While I'm not sure exactly what has caused this shift, we want you all to know that we are still all Cricut all the time. There is no desire between us to switch teams, so if you are a Cricut addict like us, you are at the right place. If you just love crafting with diecuts stick around too because you can translate all of our designs into most anything you are doing using die cuts. I for one am going to continue to follow all of my favorite bloggers regardless of what machine they are using as I love the inspiration they give. We just wanted you all know what you can expect of us and that we have not fallen off our Cricut path!
Today I have a card that I have made using the To the Cabin cartridge and the Country Boutique paper line from Fancy Pants. We are giving away a pack of this paper this week to one lucky follower, so make sure you check the bottom of this post to see what you need to do to get in on the drawing!

Lovely card and the soft colors are wonderful, who would of thought. Great inspiration, and although I don't have that exact cart I do have one that I can use. Thanks for sharing and look forward to what you have fo us tomorrow.
Can't believe I got in with a comment so early.

Like the Clean & Simple (CAS) look to the card. Especially like the faux stitching. Fancy that I looked at the Fancy Pants collection & they are wonderful.

Thanks for showcasing the Cricut. And I love that you include the CCR as I am slowly learning to use CCR. Love the card and the paper.
Very prettt card! I love everything about it. Thank you for the chance to win.
I love the subdued colors. Very beautiful.
love the soft, warm colors you used. I will have to check out that cartridge. TFS
Love your card today-That country boutique paper is a must have. Thank you for staying with cricut cuts, i have not used every cut in every cart i own so i couldn't possibly move on. I agree a lot of blogs have changed and that is why you are still #1 on my list ! Happy crafting
Lots of choices from the Fancy Pants papers. Nice card. Thanks
Very pretty card and paper

I love the card so much! Check out our blog, we only use Cricut and that is what we promote too!

I love the soft colors of the Country Boutique collection. They really are perfect with your design! It's good to know that Everyday Cricut is still all Cricut all the time. It's kind of amusing (also slightly frustrating) to go to a blog with Cricut in the name and they are using another machine and therefore something I don't have. I agree that some of the ideas can be used, but it's good to know we can count on you to have projects using a Cricut!
Lovely card! The papers are perfect!
Thanks for sticking with Cricut - I don't have the newer machines and have invested a lot of money in my Circut!
Such a pretty card...and Fancy Pants has some lovely collections to pick from!
Thanks!
The Country Boutique line is very pretty. I missed that leaf on this cartridge - I'll have to go back and take another look. Very pretty card.
I love both the Beach Bum and Beach Babe collections! My heart is always at the beach
I love this card. The colors are soft and the card simple. Love what you come up with all the time.
Beautiful papers. Each one prettier than the last.
That card is lovely. Thanks for sharing.
VLL1974@gmail.com
I am SO thankful you are sticking with Cricut. I have no desire to have the other machines but do still follow a few blogs who do. I mean each of us has our own way of doing things and we each need to be comfortable and happy. I am comfortable and happy with my Expression and Imagine so that's where I'll stay. Love the card..the colors are great!
I recently purchased some things from the Fancy Pant's "Dancing Girl" line and had been given some samples of the "Oct 31", "Saint Nick" and "Off to School" at CHA last year and I love them! I am already a follower/subscriber
Love that card! Eat your heart out, Hallmark!!!!!!!!!
29I so look forward to opening my e-mail every morning to find out what you are making. I am rarely disappointed. The card you made today is very nice. I am not familiar with Fancy Pants, but I really liked the paper you featured and will be checking that line out. Keep up the good work. You are always an inspiration to me.
Love the card and thanks for the inspiration. This is one card I will need to get.
Very nice card. Thanks for sharing.
Love the card - beautiful colors!! I have an eCraft as well as a Cricut (well a few Cricuts) but my Imagine is my go to machine 95% of the time.
I really like the To The Cabin cart - haven't pulled the trigger to buy that one yet! :)

my favorite collections are Country Boutique and Home for Christmas. They are all lovely though.
Love the card. So happy that you are sticking with the Cricut. I was beginning to feel that all the $ and time I have invested in Provo Craft was for naught. Love the Fancy Pants line. Only able to get it online. Thanks for all you do. Pam
love the card and the papers Siobhan
What a lovely card. TFS.
I really like the soft colors of this card.
Love the card. So unexpected.

Beautiful papers, beautiful card! I was unfamiliar with "Fancy Pants", so thank you for the introduction...I'm now a FP subscriber. I'm grateful for the opportunity to win!
As far as Cricut goes, I'm glad you're sticking with them. It's always nice to see what's new. But, I could never afford to replace my machine and cartridges. Also, I'm not tech savvy. So the thought of relying on my computer to craft, is not only terrifying, but it takes the joy out of crafting!
Very lovely card and one that you could add any number of sentiments to it. A good base card.
Barb from Toronto, Canada
Love the colors you picked for this card.

Great card and glad to hear you are sticking with the cricut machine :)
Very nice card! I'm happy to hear that you'll still be around to inspire me with Cricut projects in the future!
What a wonderful card - love it! TFS!

very nice card. tfs. checked out fancy pants. really like the childish collection.
Very pretty card with the To The Cabin cartridge. Just got that cartridge but haven't used it yet. My favorite collection is Home for Christmas since I have more photos at Christmas than any other time.
I've been scoping out the To the Cabin cartridge. Great inspiration.
I have also noticed the jump from Cricut. Glad to hear you are staying with Cricut.
Your thank you card is very pretty and I love that it can be used for a guy as well. Guy cards are the hardest for me. I don't have To The Cabin cart. I look through my other carts and am able to come up with something very close.
Thank you
Linda in Stanwood
For weeks I have been thinking this very thought. So many blogs have Cricut in their blog name and they are using other die cutters. It's been bugging me badly.Thank you for making this clear and for sticking with Cricut.
Your cards are awesome - as always! I love Country Boutique.
Country Boutique gets my vote for fav paper from this company.
Karen L 1020 at gmail dot com
Love that paper and what you do with it!
Wish I had the time to make all those wonderful cards. I am making tag cards with sentiments to use to insert into plain cards for when i don't have time to make a card. they are really turning out cute. I use those big beige tags that offices use to tag things like furniture etc. they have a wire on them, I just cut it off. study and big enough to make a really great tag. Cannot wait till sunday to see if I win.
Love the colors. I use the cricut all the time. Nothing else.
Love your card. I'll have to check out the cuts on this cart for sure.

Thank you! I too have noticed the lack of Cricut blogging and it is very disappointing. While I love all the stuff some of them do, I do not want to switch machines. Cricut Top 40 should be for Cricut machines only. Esp not SVG files.

Love the paper colors and the cartrige. I'm all country and they would fit right in with my scrapping. Thanks!
Love the colors and this leaf cut is devine.
Lovely card! TFS
Love the simple and calm feel of this card.
Very nice card. About the Fancy Pants Designs, I like the Wave Searcher but to be honest with you I love most of them. Too many to mention ;)
Lovely card. I like so many of their paper lines--today Hopscotch caught my eye.
Pretty 3-dimensional design for this card!
Love Fancy Pants. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love the card. And thanks so much for the encouraging words about staying Cricut. I too have a Cricut and just can afford to move on, but I love my Cricut. I also visit other sites regardless of the machines, I love the inspiration. Thanks so much for sharing.

The card is lovely. Thanks for posting the free files. It's so hard to choose between the Fancy Pants collections, but I think I have to choose the bright cheerful colors in the "Time for Spring" collection.
Sherry Fralic/Florida
Glad to hear you're continuing with Cricut! I know many bloggers have or are using other machines. But there is so much I haven't done with my Cricut. Having 59 cartridges, I've only scraped the surface of what I can make! So I have no plans of switching to another venue. Thanks for hanging in there.--Pat N.
Love,Love,Love these collections,hard to pick a favorite. top 2 would be "time for spring',home for Christmas and winterland collections although they are so many others I would love! The card today is beautiful! Thanks for inspiring me to want to go into my craft room and create!
I love the beach bum collection it's so neat. I do a lot of scrapping of camping and beach scenes etc.
Beautiful card! I love Country Boutique and childish things. I already subscribe and follow you. Thanks for the chance to win.
This card would have made an adorable invite to my daughter's birthday tea party!
Great card with wonderful colors. Will have to check into getting this cartridge.
Beautiful teacups!
Beautiful card! Love the colors!
Love how the neutrals make the card work.
Oh my goodness, how can I pick just ONE favorite! These collections are awesome! I really adore the LOVE collection the most... but there are a bunch more right there with it! :)
Thanks for sticking with the Cricut. I love the other machines, too, but will definitely stick with the Cricut. Wish they would get off all of the designs with the computer...HATE that. Don't want to mess with computers!!! LOL!!! Your card is lovely...thanks for keeping up the inspiring work.

Very nice card. Love the neutral color tones. Smooches... Felicia
Love your card anf the paper is so pretty.
Beautiful card!!!
I like your card. I love how you popped the layers
beautiful card!! I just love their hopscotch and the good life lines... awesome!
I like the Time for Spring and Hopscotch. I love all colorful paper, though.
Marcy
Wow, i love the colors of this card.
I to have noticed Cricut's fall. Even HSN is clearing out a lot of their stuff. The new takeover and housecleaning may have hurt them. I have the original cricut, the expression and the gypsy, but not a lot of cartridges. Maybe 18 or so. I haven't really used them. Can't figure out the gypsy and the expression, about 18 months old now is still in the box. One day, I'll have time to figure them out.
Very pretty colors! The paper looks so good with the layout and the leaves. This could be such a cute fall card! Great job!
Nice card!!
I don't follow many blogs (yours is the one I go to first) but the ones I do they're all about the product they sell and not about the Cricut machines themselves. I personally LOVE my Cricut, flaws and all. I have an Imagine and an original baby cricut. I also own a Gypsy. Keep up the Great Work!!
Very cute simple card! Keep your great inspirations coming!
Beautiful papers and cute card! TFS!
Great card, I love the blues/greens with brown!
Although I don't get on as often as I would like and therefore don't have an opportunity to enter comments on a timely basis, I want to thank the two of you for being there daily. Whether I am there daily or not, the two of you are and I love the dose of motivation I get.
Thank you for your comments about the other machines...I too have noticed comments regarding the "lack" of what Cricut can do compared to some of the other machines. It sometimes makes me wonder, but I too I chosen to stick with Cricut. I have lots of $$$ tied into Cricut and I love what it does for me. I feel like Provo Craft was the first to introduce this fantastic machine and the customer service I have received from Provo Craft has been fantastic. I do think Provo Craft will be working on new designs and capabilites for their products. Thank you for the comments, I feel as if we need to see that from designers like both of you.
On a final note, Joy and Melanie your designs are always awesome, the attention to detail is fantastic and your projects are always top quality in my book.
Thank you!
