Lagniappe {a little extra!}

There is another celebration coming up besides valentines day…Mardi Gras! February 24 is officially Mardi Gras and I have had it on the brain ever since I started reading the Laura Childs scrapbooking mysteries that take place in New Orleans. That is the inspiration behind this new template set available at Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff!  Also All of my products are 25% off at MyGrafico today and tomorrow, stock up folks!

Think of all the ways you could use these templates!

Here is a closer look at the Mardi Gras mask. I used purple, green and gold (traditional Mardi Gras colors) feathers to decorate it. I stamped the designs on the face and embossed them with gold tinsel EP before attaching the nose. The nose is a separate file and can be added to any of the masks, to use it fold it in half the long way then fold back the squared of corners and glue them together, that gives you a sturdy base to attach it to the mask.

I also included a card template for any costume party invitations you might need, I think it kind of looks like a fancy eye pillow so it would be cute as a spa party invite or even a bachelorette party invitation!

Use the enclosed card template to make cute invitations!

The Masquerade Mask templates come in SVG so you can cut them with a Cricut machine and SCAL software, and PDF so you can just print them on cardstock, cut and decorate, easy as pie…or Beignets!

I have also had banners on the brain this week! Here is a new set called Pretty Banners SVG that has 8 cutting files for adorable banners perfect to decorate your home for birthday parties and holidays! I have included jpg files as well if you want to hand cut them or convert them for another digital die cutter besides the cricut.

Beautiful banners to cut with your Cricut!
