Hi Everyone,

Martha Stewart and cricut are such a great combination.  If you are a Martha Stewart border punch lover, you are going to absolutely drool over these new cartridges.  The images below do not do the actual cartridge justice. The handbooks are online and I highly recommend that you download them.  I am linking each preview to the handbook at cricut.com, so just click on the image.  These cartridges are not just for the cake machine, they can be used in your cricut expression paper cutter, personal cutter and the cricut create.

Martha Stewart will premier at 12:00 midnight on July 19th!

There is a new cake machine color for her.  It is white.  The cartridge that comes with the machine is the All Occasions cartridge from up above.  It does not show a flex pay listed now but I am sure by the time that this airs that it will definitely have flex pays.  Click on the picture if you would like to go to the HSN site.

I got my cricut cake machine last month from HSN when it premiered.  I just love it.

I have read where a lot of people are having trouble with the frosting sheets for the cricut cake machine.  Provocraft has answered our calls for help.  There is a new video demonstration!!!!

I got the cricut cake last month from HSN when it premiered.  I also had trouble with the frosting sheets in the begining.

This was my first attempt at the cutting the frosting sheets.  I realized right off that you needed to apply more white shortening to the mat then what I saw on the HSN premier.

This time it worked much better.

This butterfly is so cute!

Here are a few more cuts after I figured out the correct amount of shortening to put on the mat.

I went to Joann’s on the other side of town that I don’t normally go to yesterday and they have the cricut cartridges on sale for $39.99.  This included the new cricut cake cartridges as well.  I pre- ordered the Birthday Cakes cartridge and the Holiday cakes cartridge from ohmycrafts.com.  They are suppose to be shipping soon but I have not heard anything from them.  2 weeks ago I was told they would arrive last week.  Now that all the stores have them it is kind of frustrating.  I e-mailed them again and still have not heard anything back.  I ended up buying the Birthday Cakes cartridge yesterday because I wanted to use it to make my daughters birthday cake on Memorial day.  She is turning the big 3!!!

FYI, I also got the cricut cake water pen, 2 cricut cake mats and 2lb tub of white gum paste and used 50% and 40% off coupons on all it except the cricut cartridge.  They also had a bunch of packages of  the frosting sheets but I did not buy any of those.

The Joann’s right by my house sells a Fashion Fushion magazine with 2 50% off coupons, 4 40% off coupons on the back cover that expire June 19th.

The great thing is that all six coupons can be used at the same time.  The magazine sells for $2.99.  I buy several of them because I use them on cricut accessories like mats and blades.  I also use them on things for my embroidery machine like interfacing.  I recently bought a snapware 3 section storage container.  It retails for  $25.00 and I used a 50% off coupon and got it for $12.50.  I love these coupons.  If your store does not carry them you can buy them online.  Click on the magazine cover to go to Joanne.com.

Right next to the Joann’s store was a cake decorating store.  I had been searching online for cake supply stores in my area and remembered the name.  I went in and got a 2lb tub of Satin Ice Fondant.  It is suppose to be the best tasting one.  I can’t wait to try it out.  I am on vacation next week so I plan on practing some cuts before I try making my daughters cake.  I plan on going back to the Joann’s and get the Wilton Gold cake pans with my coupons.  I will post pictures of my sample cuts when I have them completed.
