5th Cricut Anniversary Challenge

There is a contest to help celebrate the 5th anniversary of Cricut and the launch of the new E2 machine. I play with some ideas and here are my humble entries.

1st Layout

For this LO I used Cricut Cartridge Celebrations for the birthday hat & the cupcake , Cricut Cartridge MS All Ocassion for the scallop border. The lettering is from Cricut Cartridge Don Juan. I stamped a phrase that read "Eat cake for today you are one year older" around the main page. And stamped the word "happy" inside the B.

2nd Layout

I cut three different ballons from Cricut Cartridge Celebrations. I cut the phrases "It's your day", "Happy Bday" & "Make a Wish" using the Cuttlebug cut & emboss folder Birthday Wishes. The stars were cut using that folder as well. I cut the birthday cake & strings using the Disney Cuttlebug cut & emboss folder Take the cake. I used stickles & a gel pen to added glitter & shine to some accents.

3rd Layout

I cut the two circles from Cricut Cartridge Plantin Schoolbook. The tags and lettering are from Cricut Cartridge Once Upon a Princess. The stamp cut is from Cricut Cartridge Base Camp. I cut & emboss the two gifts using the Cuttlebug folder Beautifully Boxed. I ink both tags and used a white gel pen on the letters & stickles to add some glitter at the gift box.
