Need help jumpstarting my brain on ways to use CriCut...

[AuntJamelle]

For my birthday (Aug 6th) DH bought me TWO new CriCut cartridges, both Christmas themed.

I am overwhelmed with all of the cute things I could create!

And I am thus stalled on how I could use my CriCut for the holidays.

I already purchased Christmas cards on sale after last Christmas for this year. I do plan to make a handful of homemade cards and will use my CriCut to help that project.

My next thought was gift tags - but when I went up to the attic to doublecheck the colors of my wrapping supplies I realized that I purchased a TON of really pretty, glittery gift tags at the after Christmas sales as well.

So other than cards or gift tags, what could I do?

I thought of using the "placecard" feature to make little menu "tents" for the food I serve buffet style at parties - so people know what things are.

Maybe I could decorate labels for my homemade jams/preserves?

Any other ideas? What other things do we use paper for during the holidays that could be dressed up via what a CriCut machine produces?

Any suggestions are appreciated! :grin:

You need to go to cricut.com and go to the forum boards there. If your wanting to make gifts, the ideas are limitless. I feel the same way though..I love it for scrapbooking, but I haven't ventured into much of the other uses yet. But trust me, if you've got the time, the cricut machine can do it!!

Thank you, MinnieCo!

I had no idea that there were forums for CriCut!

Awesome! :grin:

I would love to have one of those things! I might check that out--I don't know how much I'd use it, though, knowing me..
