Cricut Crafts

I wish I owed a Cricut. This wonderous paper cutting device makes amazing crafts out of the simplest things. I’m a patient paper cutter – but no way could I do everything a Cricut does! Here are 24 Cricut paper cutting crafts, most on the simple side so that kids can do them. While the Cricut obviously requires adult assistance, the resulting work will look so good that your kids will be extra proud of their accomplishments! There’s a section for each major holiday – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter, along with a few general everyday Cricut crafts.

I’ve tried to find Cricut craft projects that don’t require a big investment in more cartridges, though some do, of course. Several of them offer free template downloads or instructions on how to create the projects on your own. Also, some of these patterns are just as easily made on other paper cutting craft tools, such as the Gypsy and Cuttlebug.

I live in constant envy of Bakerella, who makes the most scrumtilious beautious cake pops on the planet (maybe in the universe?!). So, in honor of of her greatness, I’ve pulled together a collection of cake pops, cookie pops and cupcake pops. These baking godesses elevate Valentine’s Day treats to wedding-cake status.

And I’m just happy if I remember to buy the kids Valentine’s Day cards in time to pass out in class!
