With last minute preparations and decorations going on for Christmas I needed to make some more decorations for the tree as well as labels for gifts. So what\u2019s a girl to do? Well, she turns to her trusty Cricut Expression 2 and gets creative.<\/h3>\n

I love the fact that when you buy the Cricut Expression<\/a> machine it has some images and fonts loaded onto the machine already. So you are good to go even without any cartridges. <\/p>\n

\"Cricut<\/a><\/p>\n

I picked a simple frame design from the already loaded Cricut Alphabet design and turned it into a \u2018Christmas Bauble\u2019 by adding some decorations and a ribbon to hang them onto the tree with. I cut 2 shapes for each bauble and mounted them on top of each other using Pop Dots for dimension. To turn the same design into a label for a gift parcel simply turn it horizontally and use the holes on the sides to tie a ribbon right around the parcel. Print your recipients\u2019 name onto cardstock, punch it into a circle and adhere to the front of the die-cut label. Add finishing touches like diamante, beads and glitter to add to the festivities.<\/p>\n
