Adventure Awaits! We are so excited to share with you this fun Bridal Shower with the Theme: Adventure Awaits. Creating all of the fun decor pieces was easy when you use the Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cricut Essential Tool set. We were able to use a variety of materials to create our one of a kind decorations. The Bride is Madge's daughter, the excitement on her face when she walked in to the shower was priceless. She was in Awe... with how beautifully everything came together. The guests were even taking pictures and asking how things were made. Of course the answer was always "it's easy with Cricut"! What tools do you need, and how do you use them? Watch our video below to see the Essential Tool set in action, along with close-ups of the projects.
To welcome guests to the shower we purchased a map poster from Wal Mart, then used the NEW holographic vinyl in blue to add "Adventure Awaits". For "Enjoy the ride" we created our image in PicMonkey, then uploaded it to Cricut Design Space. We cut it from cream cardstock, glitter cardstock and mounted on a piece of pattern paper.
We had an ice cream bar. The Cricut pen came in handy to create our labels. The labels were also created in Pic Monkey and uploaded to Design Space. Where we edited from the cut feature to the write feature. We then inserted our Black 0.4 Tip, Black pen into our Cricut Machine and it worked it's magic!
The Bridal party was excited to show off their new hats that were made with the iron on vinyl. Again, the "Adventure Awaits" sign was created using the black Cricut Pen.
"Enjoy the ride" treat bags were also a hit! These little muslin bags were the talk of the party! People could not get over how cute they were. Using the Gold Foil Iron On, made it easy to make several of these in just a few minutes. Would you like to create your own "Enjoy the Ride" gift bags? Click HERE

We are so excited to share with you our Social Artworking Party that we hosted! This "Girls Night Out" was a blast! When we received our box of goodies with the Canvases, Easels, Transfer Paper, Pattern Image, Paint, and Paintbrushes we were in Awe.... Everything was neatly packed and ready for us to host this fun party! First things first! We had to complete our painting so that we could teach the class! Midge immediately went to work following the step by step instructions that were included for us. Everything came together perfectly! Midge painted our example, so then we were ready to create an event on Facebook and invite our friends. We posted a picture of what we were painting so our guests knew what to expect. We had a great response and had our guests RSVP so we knew how many spots we needed.
The day was here and it was time to get things ready! We bought refreshments and supplied the "drinks" (yes, everyone drank responsibly) and set the tables with the supplies needed before our guests arrived.
It was time for our guests to arrive! We created this fun video showing how our amazing Social Artworking "Girls Night" went! Be sure to watch the video for more details!

We are so excited to share with you a super fun party that we created cutting out many different types of materials on the Cricut Explore Air 2. Many of you already know that this machine cuts paper and vinyl! But what other types of materials can this amazing machine cut? Let us show you what different types of materials we cut using the same image! Some of the items are smaller and some are larger but all are using the same Teresa Collins silhouette bunny that we got off of our Cricut Access from the Cricut Design Space. Watch our video, here we show you the fun ways in which we used this great machine.
To create this party you will need the following supplies:
*Cricut Explore Air 2 (Or Cricut Explore, Explore Air) *Backed Burlap *Backed Canvas *Cardstock *Adhesive Backed Cork *Fabric *Toothpicks or Straight Pins *Ribbon *Doilies *Bow Ties (optional) *White Bunny Pom Poms (optional) *Xyron Sticker Maker 5" and 1.5" *Qty 2 Mason Jars filled with Jelly Beans *Tall straws *Jute

Simply follow the instructions that are given and BAM! you get a fun project in minutes! If you also look we have cut a cute Bunny for our placemat out of Canvas. We cut the Teresa Collins Bunny- this cute little guy to measure 3.25" x 6" We ran the canvas bunny through the 5" Create a Sticker Max station by Xyron and adhered it to the burlap placemat.
Making the two mason jars is a breeze. Just fill mason jars with Jelly Beans, use a Xyron Tape runner and adhere a doily to the mason jar. Next cut a Bunny out of Adhesive Backed Cork to measure 2.40" x 4.5" and adhere to the doily. Add a bow tie.
How cute is this table banner? Making this cute banner is fun and easy! First cut 5 Bunnies out of fabric (we used three different patterns) 1.64" x 3.0" Next cut 5 banner pieces that measure 4"x6" out of Backed Burlap. We then ran the bunnies through our 1.5" Create a Sticker Maker Xyron machine, and adhered them to the burlap banner pieces. We then adhered the white pom poms to their tails. To assemble the banner we used Jute, and tied strips of fabric and ribbon onto the banner. Tie to two large decorative straws.
These are the cutest bunny cupcake toppers you have ever seen! Cut 5 Bunnies 1.32" x 2.5" (we cut two out of canvas and three out of burlap). Adhere small pom poms to the bunnies. Adhere the bunnies to straight pins or toothpicks, and place into cupcakes!
This bunny plaque is one of those projects that you can make in under 10 minutes!! Cut a large bunny to measure
4" x 7.5" out of Vinyl and the saying "Hoppy Spring" and place onto the plaque. Add a bow tie and BINGO!! Your cute home decor piece is ready to be displayed!
