Cricuit Cartridges....you don't need those anymore!

Are you addicted to your Cricut but hate lugging around all those cartridges?! Cricut is coming out with a new device called the Gypsy that is basically a flash drive that stores your cartridges. Here's the kicker...once you load a cartridge onto the Gypsy the serial number of the Gypsy is "linked" to that Cartridge which means you can't upload it to a different Gypsy. What else does that mean? That means you can't sell that cartridge to anyone who wants to use it on a Gypsy!

So what is a girl (or guy) to do? Check out the Sure Cuts ALot Software. The software allows you to use your Cricut to cut True Type fonts and graphics in .sgv format. You can download thousands of fonts and have them at your fingertips! The software was just updated to version 2.0 in late July and it allows you to "see" where on the mat your item will cut.

Glimmer Mist Kit & Tips

Tips for Using Glimmer Mist:
  • Prior to using gently shake or swirl to get all the glitter off the bottom
  • Put something underneath the items you are spraying -an old cookie tray works great!
  • Works best on porous items such as paper, chipboard or grungeboard
  • Great for ribbon and paper or fabric flowers
  • Create custom Canvas Wall Hangings
  • If you want to stamp an image with water-based ink - stamp it AFTER you glimmer mist the paper. (Not that I know this from experience...but it will make water-based ink run)
  • Try using the Glimmer Screens to make designs on paper or canvas. They can be used as a positive or negative design. If you want to use the positive then you spray the glimmer mist on the screen and use it as a stamp.
How to Use Glimmer Mist:
If you want a "fine" coating then hold the bottle at least 5 inches away from the object. If you would like a "splotchy" look then keep the bottle close to your object when you spray it. You can also layer the glimmer mist colors to get different affects. The Glimmer Mist will dry fairly quickly on chipboard and paper, but if you need to speed up the process you can use a heat gun to give a little assistance. Once dry the item will have a slight shimmer which just adds a nice little accent to your page.

2-Page Layout Contest Winner


We have a winner! J. Grant submitted the photos above because there were just too many and they were unsure how to fit them all on the page. This layout has 17 photos in it, granted most of them were cropped down to fit, but it shows that you can fit a LOT of photos on one layout!

The trip was so long ago that they didn't want any journaling, but you could always work in some hidden journaling behind one of the photos.
