Scrapbooking, Card Making, Cricut Projects, and Crafts
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!
…
Let me show you some of the most adorable cards made with My Pink Stamper stamps! Designer, Robyn, developed a wonderful line of clear stamps that match perfectly with Cricut Cartridges.
There are lots of clever sayings that go with the Animal Images on the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge and the Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge. Some of the sets include Punnylicious and More Punnylicious. When you take a look at the sayings, you’ll see how the stamp sets got their names.
I originally bought my Cricut Expressions for doing scrapbook pages, but now I use it for cards too. The My Pink Stamper stamps make it super easy to make cards that people will ooooh and aaaah over!
It’s your Bird-day! comes from the Punny-licious set. There are tons of birds that you can cut with the Cricut, making this a super versatile stamp.
Pig Cards using Cricut Cartridges are so cute! Who wouldn’t love Hogs and Kisses???
This pig is from the Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge and it goes perfectly with these stamps. The Hogs and Kisses stamp is in a set called Even More Punny-licious.
These polymer stamps mount to acrylic blocks making it easy to position the words right where you want them! Some brands of acrylic stamps don’t stick very well, but My Pink Stamper stamps are high quality acrylic that adhere to the acrylic blocks perfectly.
This bee makes a Bee-autiful card! It’s so cheery and bright and goes perfectly with the Happy Bee-lated Birthday sentiment from the Even More Punny-licious Stamp set. I keep finding more and more animals to use with these stamps! There is also a great bee on the Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge.
Here is a list of the sayings on the Punny-licious Stamp Set.
There are lots of Cricut Cartridges that have animals. All of them are great for using with the My Pink Stamper Punny-licious set. The Some-bunny Loves You! comes from the Even More Punny-licious set from My Pink Stamper and goes perfectly with the bunny sitting on Hello Kitty’s head.
The turtle is from the Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge. I could have also used the “Turtley Awesome” stamp.
Here is a list of the sayings on the More Punny-licious Stamp Set.
This cute deer came off of the Cricut Create A Critter Cartridge. The “you’re a deer” sentiment is from the More Punny-licious stamp set. What a sweet Thank You Card!
The Combination stamps and the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge is an awesome duo for making cards. This fluffy tailed squirrel says “Aww Nuts!” It would make a cute belated birthday or get well card.
Since I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, this is a popular card! The crabs and basket were made using the Pazzles Creative Cutter Pro, but there are also crabs on the Life is a Beach and Create a Critter Cartridges. The sentiments, In a Pinch and Crab-u-lous go perfectly with the crabs.
Friends Fur-ever can be used with all kinds of animals, but I think it’s really cute with this hedgehog.
Here is a list of the sayings on the Even More Punny-licious Stamp Set.
This monkey swinging on the vine from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge is great for cards or scrapbook pages. I added a banana to the monkey’s hand and the saying Bananas 4 You! It turned out so cute! It can be a great Valentine’s Day Cricut Card or for a little boy’s birthday.
The Hay neigh-bor! is from the More Punny-licious stamp set. I love combining different cartridges to create Cricut Projects and cards. This one combines the cowboy and grass from the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge, the fence from the Old West Cricut Cartridge, and the horses from the Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridges.
Here are eleven more cards using My Pink Stamper stamps.
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!
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.

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!

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.
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.

Oh how I love the smell of a newborn baby. There’s nothing quite like it. I got to hold a baby this week. Even though she wasn’t a newborn, she was so sweet and pretty with big brown eyes. Today I have a Baby Lamb Cricut Card to share that’s perfect for a baby girl.
This pretty little lamb is on the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge. I can’t tell you how much I love that cartridge. It has so many great animals that are perfect for birthdays, boys, girls, Halloween, Christmas, and so much more.

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.

I created this Cricut Dinosaur Card for My Cricut Craft Room. The theme today is Toddler. This smiling dinosaur from the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge is perfect for a birthday, get well, or just to say Hello to your favorite toddler.

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.
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!
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.
I don’t usually show the recipients of my cards, but since this one was sooooo cute, I just had to. Meet Buster. He had surgery on this front legs to fix his growth plates, and I sent him this card. He LOVED the card and sent me a text to thank me! He’s the sweetest dog ever and has a pretty sister named Buttons. Photo Credit: Maggie Gowe

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!
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!
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.
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.
The Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge is one of my favorites, and has lots of adorable animals.

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