I just saw that everything at Letting Delights is on sale for $1! I love the fonts and Doodlebats to cut with my Cricut and SCAL software, Many of the fonts and graphics they sell have been made into cricut cartridges, check out this post for a list. Don’t miss this sale!
OK now back to your regularly scheduled bloginess;) Happy Crafting!
Howdy! My poor hubby didn’t get a proper dinner last night because I opened up a roll of chalkboard vinyl and started making decals for my kids’ rooms, it was so fun dinner time came and went and I was still playing with these fun decals! It was so fun and easy to work with. Here are the results. I used my Cricut and Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL)software to cut the shapes. I used a depth of 3 and pressure low (or #2) to cut through the vinyl but not the backing.
I used these fun fonts from Lettering Delights to cut my Vinyl:
DB Robots *on sale for $1 til Thursday! Use blackout mode in SCAL. This is a great font for digital stamping too!
DB Ladybird (no longer available)
DB Pretty Petals (no longer available) try DB Florography or DB Floral Infusion instead.
DB Sweet Spring (no longer available)
I really like the quality of the Lettering Delights fonts (many of which get made into Cricut cartridges) and I would rather pat $3 for a font of graphics and use SCAL software than to pay $30-$70 for a bulky cartridge!
The chalkboard vinyl is thicker than the colored vinyl I get art the local sign and banner shop so with the exception of the robots on my son’s walls I could peel and stick without transfer tape. I bought the chalkboard vinyl at ohmycrafts.com it was on sale $5 for 2 12″x24″ sheets. Later I saw that you can buy a 6′ long by 18″ wide roll of chalkboard contact paper, I bet that would work well and it is a better deal. If anyone has used it please let me know how you like it!
And now for another bit of fun. My Girls bed room used to be my art-room and the floor was a mess of paint drips and overspray and it was not artistic in the least so I dug out a bunch of acrylic paint and let the kids go wild:
After the paint dried I gave the floor two light coats of clear spray paint. Two months later the paint is still on there good!

I can’t get enough of die-cut boxes! I designed a new set this week called Fun Favors and used them in this set. I’ve had Christmas on the brain lately (maybe due to the warm weather we are having, I must really want to cool off:) so I also made a card with the Warm Winter digistamps from Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff.
I colored the snowman with my prismacolor markers, since so much of it is white it was really quick (you could easily make a batch of these) and the “noel” label is from the pepermint holiday collection at Lettering Delights. I like to print up a sheet of sentiments and cut them apart as I need them, I used scraps leftover from making the boxes to decorate the card.
This set qualifies for the following challenges: Our Creative Corner, Stamp Something (Christmas), Penny’s Paper Crafty(anything goes), TCP (use die cuts) and the sketch from a crafty little place.
Here is a look at my new Fun Favors template set, you can cut them with a cricut and SCAL software or print them out (JPG) and cut them by hand, best of all both versions are re-sizable!
Now here is your freebie, a cute milk carton! Tip: seal one end (of the top) but leave the other unglued so the box can be opened and shut without ripping. Click the pic to download.
Now let’s see what the rest of the DT has for us today:

I am loving this new stamp set from Crafty Secrets called a couple of cuties. I made this card tonight and I used my new I-Top bradmaker to make the corduroy covered brad, I think I love this tool more now seeing how well it works with fabric. For the envelope I used my Cricut, SCAL software and my Envelope bonanza SVG templates to make it. *Tip: if you use patterned paper and fold it so the white side is out you get a pretty faux lined envelope!
The pattern paper is from the Inch by Inch collection from Lettering Delights. I loved the paper that looks like measuring tapes, I cut it apart and made the frame around the sweet couple 🙂 The Inch by Inch bundle is 50% off right now, you get the papers, two alphabets and 2 graphic sets for $9 but everything is available separately too if you rather.
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
Howdy folks! I just got the new Couple of Cuties stamp set from Crafty Secrets and had a play around with them and made these 3 cards using the Simply Shabby Spring paper pack (only $2) from Lettering delights:
Aren’t they cute? I love digital paper because 1. I am not afraid to “use it up” because I can print more and 2. I can change the scale of the print to be dainty for my cards or larger for my scrapbook pages. I printed all of the paper I used on the cards on one sheet of cardstock, no scraps, no waste! Just cut and paste!

I was just looking at the new cards coming out from Cricut and Surprise (insert sarcasm) many are the same as fonts from Lettering Delights. And I already have them, Yay me! Now I will warn you that many times after a font is made into a cart it disappears from the website so if you want them get them now! Here are 2 cards I made with the doodlebat font Good Company:
Have you heard about the new Cricut Circle club where you pay $275 a year to get 4 sight unseen carts only available to members? Pa-leeze, the first cartridge is called french mannor and it is so similar to DB Good Company from Lettering delights. (I have not played with the cart, the info comes from Linda at JustaScrappin) $3 vs $80 you be the judge.
To use this font with your cricut is simple. First you need software to cut the fonts. I use Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL) and I click on the font I want and all of the images show up on the screen, I pick the one I want and it shows up on the mat then I re-size it and cut, easy peasy! Think of all the cool fonts you already have you can cut with your cricut!
I love the sentiment on that card, and it is so true!
The new Pumpkin Carving seasonal cartridges is like DB Jack-o-Patterns and Jack-o-Patterns 2 also from Lettering delights.
There is 3 fonts that look like Cricut carts, To see my previous list of matching fonts check out this post.
These cards qualify for the following challenges: Crazy 4 Challenges (red, black, white), Creative Card Crew (use a die cut) and Daring Card Makers (use a silhouette.)
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
Howdy folks! just a quick post to share a card I made for my good e-friend Jenn who had to have her dog put down a few days ago. It is so hard to lose a dog, they fill up our lives so much and leave a void when they go. I hope this card made her smile:
That pic is of my dog when she was a pup, she had a thing for fetching my bra and carrying it all over the house LOL! I used paper and frames from the Summer Treats collection and the font LD Noodge from Lettering Delights. You can save 60% off your Lettering delights purchase until Friday with the coupon code: firecracker
This card qualifies for the dog challenge at Penny’s Paper-Crafty , animal challenge at Stamp & Scrap and Pear Tree Designs, and anything goes at Elephantastic, Wee Memories and Prairie Farie.
That’s all for tonight, I did hear the card made it to Jenn today and it brought a smile and I am glad. Til next time happy crafting;)
There are so many cute clip art designs out there. Wouldn’t you like to cut some of them with your Cricut? Well if you have Sure cuts a Lot (SCAL) software and some image editing software you can in about a minute. Here is a card with a die cut I cut with my Cricut and SCAL and the cute Heartland USA clip art set from Lettering delights, BTW you can save 60% off your entire order at Lettering Delights with the coupon code firecracker.
The sentiment is from the Coffee Talk digital stamp set from Lindsay’s Stamp Stuff. This card qualifies for the challenge at Annabelle Stamps and Creative Card Crew!
The first thing to do is to choose some clip art, I am using the coffee pot from Heartland USA, by the way these are the images used in the Just because Cards Cricut cart! Clean images with bold colors work best.
Now load you paper into your cricut and cut! Once you get the hang of it you will be converting designs in no time!
Tips for success:
Start with good quality clip art (buy a nice set with clean designs.)
When you use the magic wand tool you may have to adjust the tolerance so you can select just the color you want, play with it a bit until you have it right.
Last but not least, do not share the files you convert, this is not creating a design, you are CONVERTING it, it is not your designs so don’t share them without permission but do buy lovely clip art sets and convert them for your personal cutting, it’s fun!
Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
