Last night on one of the Yahoo groups that I belong to, someone shared the link to this video on YouTube.  I am so excited to try this sometime!  I have a Singer Futura CE-150 that I bought from Joann’s when they were on sale earlier this year.  It did not come with the Autopunch software as in this video but I lucked out and caught a deal on e-bay.  I got the Autopunch, Hyperfont, Photo Stitch, Cross Stitch and Editing software for $99.00.  I was kind of worried that it would be fake software or not work since all it was so cheap.  Right now, Joann.com sells the Autopunch software by it self for $399.00.  The cd’s that I got were original singer cd’s and worked just fine!  I have not not done a lot of custom embroidery work but this has just inspired me to.  To cricut and use your sewing machine!  How awesome is that!  FYI, it is national sewing month.  HSN has lots of deals on sewing right now.  They have the ce-150 like I have WITH all the software for $699.00 and free shipping.  5 flex pays for $139.00 per month.

I think that this is going to be awesome!  Think of all the images that you could try this with from the cartridges.  The frames to make your very own monogram.  It is simply amazing.

I recently used my sewing machine and made a cupcake potholder using one of cupcak svg’s that I posted several weeks ago.  I had to adjust the size and the “frosting” just a bit to make it work.  I am by means not an expert sewer and had to ask for help from my yahoo group friends on how to sew the curves of the cupcake.  For a beginner I don’t think it turned out bad, what do you think?

Like I said, I am definately not an expert, just a newbie.  I am still working on it, so once I get it all figured out I will share the directions if enough people express an interest in it.

This summer has been awesome!  Having weekends off after working 5 years is super!  I was able to take my very first card making class at Archivers.  My friend and I just got back from the class and I wanted to share the cards that I made.  On the first card, I had a slight problem with the embossing powder but I think that home made card are not always suppose to be perfect right?  The stamps are all Hero Arts.

This is the card plan on making for my Christmas cards this year.

This card was so easy to make and so beautiful.  The stamp is Starry Night.   Artic Snow Shimmer cardstock, Royal Blue ink and Bridal Tinsel embossing powder.  The sentiment was stamped with embossing ink and silver embossing powder.  Awesome and quick card!

I can’t decide which one is my favorite.  I bought the stamps for the first and second card, but I am thinking about buying the third for a fail safe if I get behind on making Christmas cards.

Sorry for the lack of files this week, I have been spending some time with my sewing machine, trying to turn the cupcake svg I posted a few weeks ago into an oven mitt.  I will be posting finished pictures later.  Are you planning on buying the cricut imagine? It premiers tomorrow on HSN 11 p.m. central.  Tim Holtz is also going to be on.  They have a whole day of scrapbooking planned so you may want to tune in or watch them live on hsn.com.

Okay here is my start to the Christmas in July files.  I have and old fashion Merry Christmas word art.  Then a few Christmas tags.

Happy cutting on your cricut .

****If you love Martha Stewart, don’t forget she is premiering tonight on HSN and 12:00 a.m. Eastern time.  Her cricut cake cartridges are amazing!

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.
