The winner of the Sweet Treats cricut cartridge is………………………..

Dave:

Well, I cannot say that I have a favorite cartridge because I just did buy the Cricut Personal, at Michael’s for $69.99, for my lovely wife. Although I’m pretty partial to the Sports Mania Cartridge based on packaging alone.

Here I am searching for online deals on Black Friday Eve(sounds scary, huh?)when I stumbled on your site. I also got her a handful of cartridges, but they did not have the sweet treats cartridge–and since my wife loves to bake, and is sweet; I thought that I would toss my hat into the cartridge contest! Thanks for a great site that I’m sure we’ll be looking at alot (after Christmas).

Happy Holidays!  Thank you to everyone that posted a comment.

Congratulations, I have sent you an e-mail.  Please respond with your address.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I hope that everyone has a safe and happy one.  I have already done some shopping online.  I am so surprised that places like the Boston Store, Old Navy, Joanns and Office Max have  a lot of the deals online and in store and some of them have already activated there online sales already.

I stopped by our local Wal-Mart to pick up some Christmas Tree lights.  I had a chance to check out the specials that they have already set up.  They either were wrapped in plastic or had caution tape around them stating that it was not for sale until tomorrow.  To avoid what happened last year they have decided to keep Wal-Marts that were not open 24 hours open tonight all night.  My sister had told me that but our Wal–Mart never had any signs up saying they would remain open but today the cashier confirmed that they were staying open all night.  I think that there will be a lot of disappointed people tomorrow because our store does not have very many of the big ticket items.  There was 5 of the microwaves.  There were only of few of the Xbox and PS3.  There was 4 of the brother sewing machines.  I was most interested in the toys.  They were a lot of mixed pallets out.   A few of each toy piled up.  I think that they are going to sell out very early.  We are going to go with the mindset that we get what we get and if not, that’s okay.  They only had one pallet of cricut machines.  I think that there was only between 4 of each color and the cricut cartridges display was not out yet.

Today after dinner I went to Michaels to to check out there Thanksgiving day sale.  There was about 40 people in line already by the time I got there.  When the door finally opened there was a mad rush for the cricut display.  They had lots and lots of cartridges.  Most of them were the Sweat Treats, Pagoda, Old West, Paisley and Designer’s Calendar.  The unexpected deal was the cricut personal.  Michaels had it listed in the paper for $97.99 and at the store they have reduced the price to $69.99.  I think that they did it to avoid having to keep price matching Joann’s $74.99

I picked up one of  the cartridges that I did not have yet (Pagoda).  Designer’s Calendar and Old West were a gift from my friend.

It will be exciting to play with them.

I decided since the cartridges were such a great deal that I would be giving 1 away on my blog.  The cartridge that I decided to give away is…………………

I waited up until 2 a.m. to check the Michaels sale ads and cricut cartridges were not on sale.  I opened up the Sweet Treat cartridge this morning.  I did not get to spend as much time playing with it as I thought I was going to able to.  My husband wanted to go visit some relatives which I totally did not mind.  After we got home, fed the kids and got them bathed and to bed I did not feel like doing much with the cricut.  I did however get approved for the day off tomorrow that I had requested so I plan on spending some time with my cricut expression during nap time tomorrow.  Here is what I did so far with the Sweet Treats cartridge.  I was just playing around, so it’s not the greatest work but I just love this cartridge and it is one of my all time favorite cricut cartridges.

Here is the party hat party favor box.  It was really easy to cut.  I used the Party Time paper by My Minds Eye.  I got it at Hobby Lobby when they were having a 50% off sale.  When I checked there ad this morning they have paper pads and packs all 50% off this week as well.  It is a good buy because they have a larger variety of paper then Joanns or Michaels.

I just used some polka dotted ribbon for the handle.  I think that the party favor boxes are cute.  I wish that the Sweet Treats cricut cartridge was loaded into Design Studio so I could see how large I could actually make this.  This box was cut using the fit to page option but I think through design studio I could have made it larger.

Here is a cupcake.  I used some more paper from the Party Time paper pack for the cupcake and some shiny paper for the wrapper and the cherry.  I don’t remember the brand name.  I have had it for a while.  I cut the cupcake and the cherry at 6 inches.  The wrapper at 6 1/2 inches.  I had to go a half inch larger on the wrapper because after I crimped it with the Fiskars crimper the 6 inch size was not wide enough to cover the cupcake.

I went shopping at Michaels yesterday and I saw that they only had 2 of the Sweet Treats cricut cartridges left.  I really really want this cartridge.  I called my husband and asked if it was okay to spend that much money on it and he said okay.

I won’t open it up until tonight after 2 am when the Michaels ad goes online.  If the cartridges goes on sale tomorrow at Michaels I will return this one or try for a price adjustment.  If not I will just have to give my husband a big kiss for being so understanding about my cricut addiction.  For those of you with no Michaels around, I read on the ohmycrafts facebook page that they are planning on getting this cartridge in January.  I assume that goes for the Paisley cricut cartridge as well.  That must mean that Michaels has a 2 month exclusive deal on this cartridge.  I will definitely being using this cartridge tomorrow.  I have some party paper that I bought at Hobby Lobby and those party favor boxes will look so cute with it.  I will be posting them on my blog tomorrow.

I have been hearing a lot about the new Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge.  After seeing pictures of it today I so want this cartridge.  First of all, let me just say that I am really sorry because once you see these pictures you are going to want to buy this cartridge yourself.  There are so many different things loaded on this cartridge beside the wonderful goodies that you see below.  There are tags, cards, cupcake holders and party favors.  From the pictures it seems like the party favors are boxes.  Yes, finally cupcake holders and some really cute boxes.

The preview above does not do this cricut cartridge justice.  Please stop over at Diane’s blog, Capadia Designs.  She took some awesome picture of the cartridge handbook and you can see for yourself why this will be one cartridge you will want to own!  Please visit her blog here. I don’t even own this cartridge yet and I know that it will be one of my favorites.  The Sweet Treats cartridge is currently available at Michael’s only.  Today was the first day that our local store said that they had them in stock.  They are going for $89.99 right now.  I am hoping for another cricut cartridge sale soon.
