Adorable Kits by Monique

Many of you know that I am a BIG FAN of Monique and her amazing kits she puts together. I just received an email from her about her kit sale thru the rest of the month. Just to warn you- her kits go fast, so if you are interested, don’t put it off.

You can see the details of her kits on her blog HERE.

Here is the email I received:

“I’ve decided to run a Summer Kit Sale for a limited time- Through July 31st only!!! Except for the 2 brand new kits shown below, all past kits are on sale from $5 to $10 off. (See attached pdf for pictures, info and prices.)  AND if you spend $75 (not including tax/shipping), you’ll receive your choice of any 1 set of my directions FREE from the choices HERE – a $10 value.  Spend $100, and get 2 sets of directions.  And then an additional set of directions for every extra $25 spent.

I have 2 brand new kits, which you may have seen on my blog already.  There’s the Splash Layout (See lots more pics and info HERE), and the Fabulous and Feisty Layout (See lots more pics and info HERE).

NEW Splash Layout:  If you have never ordered a kit from me before, here’s what’s included. You’ll get all of the patterned papers (aren’t they ADORABLE?), solid cardstock, ribbon, rhinestones and even the googly eyes you’ll need to complete the layout. And all of your many layers of photo mats and journal box will be pre-cut for you. Plus you will receive my detailed yet easy to follow directions that include my Cricut Cut Chart, which shows you line by line exactly what you’ll need to cut on your machine with all of the sizes and settings for each cut. And the cuts are grouped by color to make it more efficient for you. There are also well-organized written instructions and plenty of color photographs to go with the directions.
To complete this layout kit as shown, you’ll need the following supplies: Cricut Expression or Baby Bug and mat, Life’s a Beach Cartridge, dark brown chalk ink, 3D pop-dots, white gel pen, brown pen, Gold and Diamond Stickles, and basic tools such as scissors, adhesive, etc.

NEW Fabulous & Feisty Layout from the new “Nana Susan” line designed by Susan Rees:  This kit is VERY limited in numbers since it’s the first in this line.  It will include all of the patterned papers, cardstock, ribbon, buttons, brad, rhinestone, and as usual, the photo mats will all be pre-cut for you. You’ll also get the same detailed, yet easy to follow directions with the Cricut Cut Chart, which shows you line by line exactly what you’ll need to cut on your machine with all of the settings. And cuts are grouped by color so it’s nice and efficient. There are also well-organized written instructions and plenty of color photographs – just like you’re used to!

To complete this layout as shown, you’ll need the following supplies: Cricut Expression and mat, Paisley cartridge, dark brown chalk ink, white gel pen, 3D pop-dots, punch for brad, standard stapler, Diamond Stickles, mini glue dots for buttons, plus adhesive and standard tools such as scissors and paper trimmer.


All kits will start shipping at the end of July or the first week of August.  Shipping for 1 kit ranges from $5 in California to $6-$9 in the rest of the US, depending on location.  It’s generally only $2 more to add another kit to your box, but you’ll never pay more than $10 shipping for multiple kits.  I can fit several into a flat rate Priority Box!  (Free local pick-up is also available.)  Many of these kits are limited in quantity, so they will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

To order, please copy and paste, and fill out the nifty make-shift order form below and email back to me… (If you have already ordered Splash or any other kits, no problem – just let me know, and we can still combine shipping with other kits.)

Have You Updated Your Gypsy?

If you haven’t heard already, there is a new update for the Gypsy. All of the new Lite Cartridges can now be added so we can play our little hearts out!

Click HERE to update.

This update is content only- it will add the new June 2010 cartridges, except the Cricut Lite cartridge ‘Celebrate with Flourishes’ and ‘French Manor’, the new exclusive Cricut Circle cartridge. Keep your eye out for these two in the July update.

Tammy from Creative Criters Cricut Club has posted a great video on YouTube showing how to update (although you don’t need to mess with ‘firmware’ as she shows in the video since this update is just content).

On a side note, Tammy is one of the best resources for learning about the Cricut. She has recently became ‘affiliated’ with ProvoCraft as a demonstrator. No need to worry about where she is coming from though, her heart is for Cricut users and she writes honestly and with her own opinions. Plus, now she has the inside scoop!

If you haven’t subscribed to her blog, I highly recommend doing so. You can view her videos on her site or by subscribing to her YouTube Channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/creativeladybug.  She has also made a great DVD on the Gypsy with Above Rubies Studio. Tammy rocks!!!!

Tricia Moore of Little Scraps of Heaven Designs creates these oh-so-cute paper piecings in a variety of file formats. If you are old school you can even cut them by hand. That’s the last thing I would want to do, so I’m all for using my Cricut.

If you want to start using adorable cutting files like these with your Cricut, you’ll need a third-party software like Make The Cut. There’s also SCAL, but I prefer Make The Cut because it so much easier to use in my opinion. You can download the trial software HERE. They also have some great step-by-step guides for getting started HERE in the forum.

And of course, if you make anything with her patterns (or anything Cricut related for that matter) I’d love to see it! You can even post it to our Facebook page HERE.
