Hi everyone!

Here is a quick and easy way to make a birthday card using your Cricut. I used the Doodlecharms cartridge for this.



I cut out a cupcake at 3 inches and all the layers. I glued them together using my ATG and zig 2-way glue pen.

The card is an 81/2 x 11 sheet cut in half and folded. 

I then cut a piece of patterned paper so that is was smaller than the card. (This is a great way to use up scraps from scrapbook layouts!)
I added some bling using glitter glue and Martha Stewart glitter pens. 

I added a piece of ribbon using Robyn's cheater method and popped up the cupcake with some pop dots. 

That is all! Now it's all ready for a stamp or a personalized message inside. 

Hi everyone! I wanted to talk to you a bit about this new tool I got last week. It's the Advanced Tape Glider. This is an adhesive gum made by Scotch Tape and it works pretty well. I love that it is big so that you don't have to replace the tape as often as those smaller glue runners. 

The only bad things I will say is that it is difficult to get the tape in it. We had to try a couple times before really figuring it out. The other thing is that it's a bit pricey for the gun and the refills that are acid free.  

Other than that it is a great adhesive tool. As far as I can tell it sticks very well and it works great. Should you choose to purchase one, it may take a couple uses to get used to using something that large. I purchased mine from Michaels and I used a coupon for it!
