My Cricut Scrapbooking

Posts Tagged ‘JoAnnFabric’

I stopped by Joann’s on the other side of town looking for some Tim Holtz Stickles and when I walked in the door, there staring me in the face saying BUY ME! were the holiday 2010 Sizzix releases (no Tim Holtz sad to say)

These are soooooo cute!!!!!!  I have not seen these online or in stock anywhere yet.  They also had a bunch of Bigz dies (Rudolph) and (Snowman) that come with free coordinating embossing folders.  I did not buy any of those, but they were selling those for $29.99.

Each set of folders comes with a fee coordinating sizzlits die .

They are selling for $15.99 a piece argh!!!!  If anyone knows me though, I rarely ever pay full price.  It just so happened that I was armed with COUPONS!

If you buy this magazine at Joann’s there are (2) 50% and (4) 40% off coupons on the back of it.  The coupons can all be used at the same time!!!!  The magazine is $2.99 and if magazines are not on sale that week, you can even use a 40% to buy the magazine!!!!  The store on the other side of town never carries this magazine, but the smaller Joann’s store near me does.  So when I see them, I usually buy six of them.  They don’t expire until January of 2011.  I have also used the 50% coupons at Michal’s when I bought my Xyron Creative Station and Prisma Colored Pencils.

I think most everyone knows that I got a pink cricut expression!!!  Well CGULL is selling a pink tool kit.  I got it from papercraftingpro.com for $12.50 plus $5.20 shipping.

.

I think that the color is off, because it is EXACTLY the same color pink as the cricut. It almost matched the cricut expression rolling tote that I have and the cricut cartridge tote.

Today is the the start of my vacation!!!!  Yesterday my son turned 2 and we had a small birthday party for him.  His big party is going to be next weekend.  We are spending three nights in Wisconsin Dells this week.  The kids are going to have so much fun  at the waterpark.  They are so excited and keep running around asking if we are on vacation yet.  It is so cute!!

I will try and post a few more files before I go on vacation, if I don’t have a great week!!!!!

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.

Here is the New Years Joann coupon.  It is good for 10% off entire purchase (including sale items.)

Here is the latest 40% off Coupon

Here are the coupon for the week for Joanns.  Lots and lots of coupons!!!!!!  Buy lots of things for you and your cricut!
