Heather said...

Thank you Roby and Custom Crops for explaining all the Cricut Expressions function keys. I don't think I would have learned these on my own.

Very cute Robyn. You didn't say what cart. you got the scallop from, or I just didn't hear it. :-(

Pat said...

Wonderful video! Can't wait to make some of these.
Which cart is the long scallop on?

Love the slider card - I've had the baby bug for along time and I'm finally getting the E. I've always ignored your instructions that didn't apply so I was happy to see the explanation of all the functions. Thanks Robyn

This is a great idea...that paper is terrific! Thanks for showing the different functions of the E...I hope Santa brings me one...my baby needs an upgrade!!

Kristie said...

I saw this the other day on the Custom Crops site. I remember seeing you do one of these before, but hadn't thought about it. I may just make some for stocking stuffers. since there are 32 of us when my family is together for Christmas, I need something that is fairly inexpensive and this fits the bill.

Super cute! I'm totally going to make these for all the employees! Also, you could use microwave popcorn packets...JLEkan@gmail.com

You saved my life! I never knew what the auto full button was for! You have made my crafting dreams come true!

Hi Robyn,
I can't seem to see the video you posted on your site. I wonder what went wrong?

Vickie Lee said...

Thanks so much for all the great tips! Cricut Fun arrived in the mail today and I am so excited! Can't wait to begin watching.

Pat said...

Thanks for another great video. I always watch your videos. You really make me want my expression to hurry up and get here. I ordered one on Pink Tuesday. I'm not sure if I get to play with it before Christmas or not. I made sliders last year and had Hershey candy bars inside. It was funny to watch people try to figure out how they worked. I took some to work and my hubby took some to the ladies at the coffee shop. He goes there everyday before he starts his work.

silly_girl_823 said...

You guys just read my mind!! I was wanting to make a bunch of these for people that I work with and so this video could not have come at a better time!!

Patti said...

Cute idea. I think I will make these for my students.
Thanks for all the great ideas and Cricut tips!

GrandmaD said...

Love you video as always. TFS.

Just for your info when you are doing things with the function keys and you pressed cut to see the size or how many----- you can press the OK button and it will show you and you don't have to stop it before it cuts. The fit to length is my favorite feature.

gmeguia said...

ROBYN! OMG! I was looking for instructions on how to make a slider card.. and what do you know.. of course.. I can find it on your blog. You're awesome.

Thank you, Thank you!

Hi, Love the slider losts of ideas running through my head(Gift Cards)?? smaller scale. You just inspire me. JSharer417@aol.com

Creative_Gal101 said...

Robyn, I just found your blog and I have to say I love it. I told my Aunt about it too and we are so excited to see the DVD. I loved your slider for cocoa. My Aunt gave me one last year with a gift card. Smaller size than yours of course. Can't wait to see what's next. Take care.

Mom Lannoo said...

Another great video Robyn and I love the extra pointers. I too want to give this slider concept a try with gift cards. My niece has 12 children and I can always use inexpensive project to give them at holidays, birthdays, etc. You sure help filling my inspiration void.

Best always,

Jody

Finally was able to finish watching...tried to all day! Thanks for the extra tips. I really didn't know how to use most of the buttons! Easy project to send to a friend that just moved:)

dianne said...

great video. i have both of these carts, so i gotta go make some for my grandkids for christmas with cocoa.

Anonymous said...

I am so excited for this project! I saw your apple cider slider video a while back and I made a Christmas cocoa pack -- then I decided to try to make 20 of them as place settings for Christmas dinner! Thanks for sharing!

Angie said...

Super cute!! I love the papers you used. And guess what? I have Plantin and had no idea it had the scallop on it! Yay! I'm so excited. I guess that's what I get for not using it in a while. It's good to break the oldies out every once in a while and look through the book. I can't believe it. It was like Christmas - but free!!! lol

Sue said...

Cute! Love the slider....Thanks for sharing.

Great Job on the video. I Think I need to make a few of these! Had to laugh at your crop a dial antics! You need to play with it and get use to it! I love mine! It is never very far from me when Im crafting!

Thanks for reminding me about this slider. You always make it look so easy! Also, if you place your paper in the corner of the Scor-Pal, it helps keep it even for your score lines.

Another great video!

LisaRN499 said...

Love this slider card! I plan on using this for a few gifts for my DD's teachers..OK..she is a senior, but so what, I think they will appreciate it! Besides, I owe these educators as they allowed her to attend this school which is out of our zone. She basically went from 2 core classes to all she needs to graduate at CCHS. GO RAZORBACKS!!! LOL

Great instructional video. Thanks for the idea.

Robyn, this couldn't have come at a better time. I have to make little gifts for all the kids in my sons class. Thanks for the nudge! They will all love some hot cocoa! Thank you. As always, nice job! Oh, and I too need to get one of those score pal things! Looks simple and quick and I'm all about "simple and quick"! lol.

Great project and video, I'll be using that for some gifts for sure!

I saw the spiced cider video and made it with hot cocoa instead. I took it too my Lss and my card group made them for a poject. Love it.
I like how you explained about the different buttons. It was very helpful.

gkwright said...

Just made some of these using hot chocolate with pretty chocolate brown patterned glitter paper and the teacup to embellish it from Joys of the Season. They were a real hit.

Kiki said...

Awesome as usual lol!!! I have a tip (u prob already do) But you know how the pages are sometimes hard to turn in the lil' books that come with the cartridges. I tear out all the pages with the languages that I dont use. Then my pages turn a lot easier.

Cat said...

Such a cute idea. Now I have to get this cartridge!
