A couple of months ago, Provocraft flew me out to Utah to film a class on creative ways to use the Cricut for wedding decor. For those of you who have not heard of the Cricut, it is a cutting machine that can cut literally thousands and thousands of shapes and fonts with themed cartridges. I love mine- I use it all the time for my weddings and for my personal parties and decor. Provocraft just released a new version, called the Cricut Expression 2 and it is really fun- I have loved all of the great upgrades.
My class is now up on Cricut’s website! In it, I talk about trends and give project ideas including vase wraps, labels, snack cones, a cute card box idea, drink stirrers and many more. Then I give step by step instructions on how to many adorable scalloped escort cards and table number signs.
Ignore the bad quality of the photos above. They are screen shots of the video. I want to give a big thank you to Amanda Phelps for the beautiful calligraphy on the escort cards.
The video is totally free and you can watch it here any time!
**To make things even more exciting for me, the wonderful team at Provocraft gave me some cricut cartridges to give away!!*** I will be splitting them into two giveaways.
The first will be a set of 3 fun cartridges that are great for everyday crafting and weddings as well:
Paper Lace (my favorite new cartridge!)
and Carousel
Next week, I will be giving away a set of four wedding related cartridges too!
You can enter to win these three cartridges in 3 ways:
