Cricut Insert Cards? Yes, please!

 

When the new Cricut card-cutting mat (not an affiliate link) came out, I was so excited.   I tried to make some cut-away cards and didn't have much luck lining up the card for the "pen part" or completely cutting away the letters.  So... I put it aside for a long while.

This week I decided to try insert cards, and I am obsessed with how pretty they can be and how easy it is! I don't remember who the designer is, or if it even said who it is.  Both cards were found in projects→insert cards→Easter.    Instead of using foil, which I imagine is gorgeous, I simply used my pens.  I'm excited to send these!

Floral Drawstring Bags

 

Recently I made some drawstring bags from some cute floral fat quarters I had hanging around.  The bags measure 8.25x8 inches.  I love that they are perfectly portable.  I use them to take small craft items with me to craft retreats, but they could be used for any number of things such as coins, hair accessories, or even Legos! 

They also make cute gift bags!  A gift in a gift!

Christmas Cards

 I handmade cards for Christmas this year.  Turns out, I didn't make quite enough and had to make a few more in different designs, ones that didn't take as long to make.

Have you ever purchased a handmade card?  I'm wondering if I should put some in my Etsy shop.  What do you think?
