My Cricut Scrapbooking

Posts Tagged ‘Winter Woodland’

Thank you for Lori for sharing the information about which cricut cartridges are in the bundle.  My guess that I posted here is correct and the 2 cartridges that are included in the bundle are Plantin Schoolbook and Serenade Solutions cricut cartridge.

Here is the details of the expression bundle for $188.00

I have the scoop on the cricut cartridges that are going to be $30.00 as well.  Here is the list.

1.  Jubilee

2.  Designer’s Calendar

3.  Everyday Paper Dolls

4.  Sweethearts

5.  From My Kitchen

6.  Winter Woodland

7.  A Child’s Year

8.  Ashlyn’s Alphabet

I finally got to play a little bit with the Winter Woodland cricut cartridge.  I made this 3d Christmas Tree.  When you select the tree from the key pad it automatically selects and cuts both pieces.

I cut it in green cardstock and then ran it through the Xyron Machine.  Sprinkled Martha Stewart Peridot Glitter on it.  Ran the other side through the Xyron machine and then sprinkled glitter on it so that both sides of the tree sparkle.  I cut the tree at 5 inches.  The 3d cuts that are on this cartridge make it so much fun to play with.

The tree acutally does look much nicer in person.  I think that it would be nice to cut them larger and decorate them for centerpieces during the holiday season.  I am also trying to add some liquid applique to it to see if I can get it to look like snow at the top of the tree.  I have to let it dry over night before I can use the heat tool on it.  I will update later if it works.

Here is the picture of my “snow”  It puffed up with the heat tool and looks aswesome.  Sorry my picture did not show up so well

Today I was at Michael’s.  I ran in to get the From My Kitchen Cartridge.  I had bought Everyday Paper Dolls, Winter Woodland and Sweethearts a few days ago.  I was not sure I wanted the kitchen one but then I decided to go ahead and get it while it was on sale.  Wouldn’t you know that at the check out in my bag they gave me an advanced sales slip.  Cartridges, including the new ones will be $39.99 next week.

I have not had a chance to play with the cartridges yet.  I am hoping to do so tomorrow.  I am really excited about Winter Woodland.  You can actually build little houses.  At the end of the handbook there are several guides on how to build them.

The Everyday Paper Dolls Cartridge is exciting as well.  I can not wait to make them.  I talked my friend into buying a Cricut Expression a few months ago.  I let her borrow my paper dolls cartridge and she played with it so much she said she wore it out so she bought it from me so I could buy a new one.  When the new paper dolls cartridge came out I told her about it and she ran to Michael’s to get it.  She does not bother with the cricut rewards program so I have an extra rewards # for the Every Day Paper Dolls cartridge.  It is worth 90 points.  If you are interested please leave me a comment on this post that you are interested in the rewards points code.  Provocraft only allows you to enter 1 code per cartridge so if you plan on buying this cartridge please let someone else have the number.

Thank you for stopping by my blog.

I got some more pictures of the new cricut cartridges for those of you who do not use Design Studio.  The Paper Dolls and the Winter Woodland are on my list for sure.  www.ohmycrafts.com has them on sale right now (pre order) for $44.99 each and you can use the coupon code CHA15 for 15% off any order amount.  The promo code in the e-mail I received from them states that the code is good until 08-02-09 only.  I am waiting to order it though because I have heard that the Gypsy will be released at CHA so I am hoping it goes on sale soon.  Someone e-bay is selling it as pre-sale saying it will ship by the end of the week.  We will have to see.  If you want to see some funny videos about the gypsy by Provocraft go here
