Cute chocolate gifts

This weekend i have been playing with some new cartridges i got for my Cricut machine.  If anyone has any of the cricut machines then i really recommend the create a critter cartridge it has so many cute animals and other objects on.  Now that i have discovered that i can cut fabric with the machine i am in my element and i finally decided to splash out on upgrading to a Cricut Expression this weekend.  i have ordered it from Cricut and so hopefully it will arrive in about a week.  This means i will be selling my Cricut original.  I am going to be putting it on ebay but  i will do a post about it tomorrow if anyone in blogworld is interested in buying it.  Anyway back to my makes.  I know Mothers Day is a while off but i thought i would have a play around with decorating chocolates for my mum as a stocking filler.  Here's how they came out..



 the chocolates above are Ritter chocolates that my mum loves.  The bar below is a milky bar.  These are quite cute as a kids valentine idea.

  2. Can you cut fabric with a cricut? I'm not really into paper as much as fabric so to able to cut fabric shapes easily would be great!

  3. Yes you can cut fabric with them Louise and it is so easy. If you look at the applique bag i posted about recently i used my cricut to cut out the letters and the heart x x

  5. Those are adorable!!!

    I've been asking my daughter for weeks if they are having a Valentine's Day party...because I wanted to make something cute to give the kids. But I think they are getting too old to do that anymore (5th grade...intermediate school). It makes me so sad. :(
