I’m super excited to share this Cricut Jungle Card today!  I have a friend who messages me with an occasional special request, and they are always fun.  As soon as she asked for a Jungle Card for a Baby Shower, an idea popped into my head.

Not all card ideas that enter my crazy brain, turn out the way I envision them, but this one was really close.  I’m so pleased with the finished card!

Cute Cricut Squirrel Scrapbook Page

January 6, 2016 by Pam Larmore 7 Comments

A scrapbook page with a Cricut squirrel isn’t just for fall.  With all of the projects that I have on this site that feature the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge, I’m sure you’ve already guessed that it is one of my favorites!

Cute Cricut Scrapbook Page with a squirrel, owl, tree branch, and a tree. Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge

You may usually think about squirrels being a fall animal, but here in Maryland, they are spunky all year long.  This Cricut Scrapbook page looks more like spring or summer with the bright green and leafy tree and tree branch.

Supplies Needed to Make this Cricut Squirrel Scrapbook Page

  • One 12×12 piece of patterned paper or solid cardstock for the background. I used a green dotted paper from Stampin’ Up.  I really like using something with a small pattern or a texture for the background of scrapbook pages.
  • 11″ x 4″ piece of patterned paper (trees).
  • 1 1/2″ x 8″ piece of patterned paper (pink floral).  Even though there is a little bit of pink in this scrapbook page, I think it could still be used for a boy.
  • 1 1/2″ tree branch from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
  • 3″ Owl from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
  • 3″ Cricut Squirrel from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge
  • 4 1/2″ tree from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge.  Save some of the cut out leaves for the tree branch.
  • Firefly Stickles
  • Scrapbook Adhesive – I like to use EZ Runners tape adhesive
  • Zig Glue Pen
  • Foam tape or pop dots

If you have trouble choosing adhesives, visit Cardmaking and Scrapbooking Adhesives to learn about the different kinds and how they are used.

How to Make this Cricut Squirrel Scrapbook Page

  1. After you have cut the layers for the Cricut Squirrel, Owl, Tree Branch, and Tree, attach all of the pieces using a glue pen and set aside.
  2. Using Scrapbook Adhesive, attach your patterned papers to the 12×12 background papers, following the photo above for placement.
  3. Attach the tree branch and the tree to the page using tape runner adhesive.
  4. Use Pop Dots or foam tape to “pop up” the Cricut squirrel and owl.  Ta daaa!  You’re done!

This sweet Cricut Scrapbook Page is a pretty simple Cricut Project.  All of the shapes are pretty big with only a little detail, making them easy to assemble.  Create A Critter has lots of sweet animals that would go along with these.  I hope you will try it out!

Cricut Turtle Card

June 8, 2015 by Pam Larmore 5 Comments

This spunky Cricut turtle in his spiffy top hat makes an adorable birthday card for a little boy. I also used him to make a Welcome Baby card, and the Mom loved it! The nursery was decorated with turtles and she thought it was so sweet that I remembered and made a card just for them.

You could also change the turtle to pink or purple for a little girl.

Cricut Turtle Card Using the Create A Critter 2 Cricut Cartridge - Cute Card for a little boy's birthday or welcome baby

Instructions for Cricut Turtle Card

I used an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock for the card base and folded it in half. I prefer to use Bazzill Textured cardstock, because it has a nice thickness which allows the cards to stand up nicely. I chose three coordinating patterned papers to complete the card. I love putting different patterns together, like strips, polka dots, and plaids. As long as the colors coordinate, they make for a wonderful card.

I used a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of large dotted paper for the background. Then I cut a strip of striped paper 5 1/4″ x 1 1/2″. I layered a piece of blue cardstock on top of it that matches the card base. It measures 5 1/4″ x 1″. A piece of white Stampin’ Up binding ribbon tied on top adds a nice touch to the card.

I cut the Cricut turtle at 3″, using a black base and layering the other pieces on top of it. The main part of the body are green with a small white dot. The shell and hat are light blue plain that matches the other printed papers. I attached the turtle using Pop dots to add dimension.

To finish the Cricut turtle card I stamped, “Happy Birthday” using the Teeny Tiny Wishes set from Stampin’ Up, and punching it out in a small oval. I punched a scalloped oval in green cardstock and layered the two.

I love the Create a Critter Cartridge so much that when Provocraft introduced Create a Critter 2 Cartridge , I just had to have it! It features a lot of the same fun animals with the addition of hats, hearts, and other props, making them perfect for holiday projects.

The cards that I have made using them have turned out great! I can’t wait to make party favors, decorations, and treat bags for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Birthday Parties.

Cricut Ladybug Card

February 9, 2015 by Pam Larmore 12 Comments

Valentine’s Day is just over a week away, and I have a super sweet, yet super easy Cricut Ladybug Card to share with you.

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?  My husband and I have been married for 27 years, and we’ve never really celebrated the day of love.  Of course when we were dating, he gave me cheesy drugstore tokens like a cute plaque with a teddy bear that says, “Bear in mind, I want you for my Valentine”.  Awwwww!!!

After we got married, money was tight, and we just didn’t celebrate.  Flowers are ridiculously expensive this week, and all of the restaurants are super crowded.   Last year, I did put in a request for some Ghirardelli Squares, and he came through like a champ!

OK enough about all that mushy stuff, and onto the Cricut Ladybug Card.

Cricut Dog Card for Any Occasion

September 28, 2014 by Pam Larmore 7 Comments

Hot diggity dog!  It’s a gorgeous here today, so I’m on my way outside to plant mums and pansies and do a little sprucing up for fall.  I want to share this cute Cricut Dog Card with you first.

This Cricut Dog card is so sweet! Post includes paper sizes and how to make it. Wait to til you see who received this card. It's just too cute!!!

How to Make this Cricut Dog Card

I just love this Cricut Dog Card!! He is on the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge.  I cut him at 3″.  I started with a black base, and then used the layer keys to cut the brown layers.  There are no tiny pieces to these layers, so they are very easy to assemble.

The dog food bowl is also on the Create A Critter Cartridge, and I cut it at 1″.  To make the dog kibble, I have a Martha Stewart border punch that makes tiny circles when you make the border. I used it to cut the circles out of three colors of brown scrap paper.  That sounds like a lot of work, but it really wasn’t.  It was only a matter of punching 3 times and attaching them with a glue pen. The tiny dog bone is the perfect accent and is also on the same Cricut Cartridge.

Here are the paper sizes for the Cricut Dog Card.  I hope you are using your Cricut!

  • The base of the card is white 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
  • Bazzill cardstock.  The green argyle paper is 5 1/4″ x 4″.
  • The plaid paper is 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″, and the brown cardstock is 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″.
  • I used a Stampin’ Up border punch to make the scalloped edge on the brown cardstock.

Here are a few other dog cards you might like to make.

Our furry friends are very popular on cards, and there are many Cricut dogs available.  Doodlecharms, Animal Kingdom, and Paper Doll Dress Up all have dogs, and I’m sure there are many others.

Make This Easy Pig Cricut Card

August 30, 2014 by Pam Larmore 5 Comments

I have a fun Pig Cricut Card to share today for my design team spot at My Cricut Craft Room.  I have a friend who loves pigs, and this silly pink pig makes perfect cards!

Pig Cricut Card Using the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge - Hog & Kisses by My Pink Stamper

I am at a weekend crop at a local hotel.  I’ve been working on some other Cricut Projects, so I will have more fun things to share soon.

I started the weekend by cutting a few things from the Country Life Cricut Cartridge.  I thought I had used it, but the tape was still on the cartridge, so I guess I hadn’t.  I need to get with it!!!  There are tons of fun shapes on that cartridge!

Pig Cricut Card Using the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge - Hog & Kisses by My Pink Stamper

How To Make this Pig Cricut Card

Ok onto my Pig Cricut Card.  I used the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge to cut this cute 3 1/2″ piggy.  The base of this card is a piece of white 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ cardstock folded in half.  The patterned papers are from the Nana’s Nursery – Baby Girl Stack by Die Cuts With a View.  I used the lime green dotted paper for the background.  It measures 5 1/4″ x 4″.  The striped paper is 5″ x 1 1/2″, and the floral paper is 5″ x 3″.  I tied a pink ribbon where the papers meet to cover the seam.

The Hogs & Kisses stamp is from My Pink Stamper.  I stamped it on a long rectangle, then trimmed the edge.  I added three pink pearls as accents to finish the front of the card.

Pig Cricut Card Using the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge - Hog & Kisses by My Pink Stamper - Inside of Card

I don’t always decorate the inside of my card, but I had leftover scraps that were the perfect size.  I added a small Prima flower to the lower right corner.  I just bought the Martha Stewart Branch Punch, and knew it would make great leaves to go behind the flower.  I added a tiny drop of Eucalyptus Stickles Glitter Glue to the center of flower.

Cricut Owl Baby Card Using Create A Critter Cartridge

July 5, 2014 by Pam Larmore 7 Comments

I made a Cricut Owl Baby Card using the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge.  As much as I use that cartridge, I’m sure you’ve guessed that it’s one of my favorites!

This Cricut Owl Baby Girl card is adorable! It uses the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge and Songbord Cricut Cartridge. I love how this turned out!

I don’t need baby cards very often, but I love making them.  They are so sweet, and they are always so cheerful.

Make This Cricut Owl Baby Card

I used the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge to make the sleepy owl.  The branch that she’s sitting on is from the Songbird Cricut Cartridge.  To help the branch stand out, I added brown ink around the edges of the die cut.

I wanted to add a little something to the tree branch, and these tiny Prima Flowers from my stash were the perfect size and color.  I used the Stampin’ Up Build A Bird punch to cut the tiny leaves from a dotted green paper that matches the rest of the card.

This Cricut Owl Baby Girl card is adorable! It uses the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge and Songbord Cricut Cartridge. I love how this turned out!

The “Hello Baby” sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up.  The label which it is stamped on is a Stampin’ Up punch.

I LOVE the printed papers that I used on this owl card.  They are from the Die Cuts With a View Nana’s Girl Stack.  All of the solid cardstocks are from Bazill Basics.

To finish the card I added tiny adhesive rhinestones and a small ribbon bow to the owl’s head.  This card was so much fun to make.  I hope you’re doing something craft today too!!
