Today's post includes two more items I made on the Cricut. I did not have a stamp for a 1st Halloween card. So I opened Word on my computer; created a 4 x 5-1/4" text box for the sentiment; and typed and printed it. The cat on the card is from Cricut Access. I didn't want too spooky of a card for a little one. The little favor boxes were also created using images from Cricut Access. They were easy to cut and assemble. Once they were put together, I added a little Halloween raffia and Hershey miniature candy bars. They are very cute and can be made larger. I am happy that I have a Scan N Cut, but when it comes to creating things, there are so many images to choose from when using Cricut Access and my Cricut Explore. I did pay the $99 annual fee to have access to 100,000 images, a variety of ready to make projects and many fonts. With the SNC I can download images found on the Internet to my computer than upload them to a USB flash or purchase activation cards which cost about $40. I have had a Cricut for so long, that I find it much easier to work with. On the other hand, a Cricut can not scan a stamped image and cut it in a couple of steps. So I will continue to use the SNC for the stamped images and my Circut Explore for the other things. They are both good machines, each serving a different purpose. I wouldn't give up either! Have a great day!
