Good morning friends! Today is a big day! I’m launching two new Cricut cartridges in this month’s Cricut Mystery Box! This one is all about fall and Thanksgiving celebrations and I lovingly call it “Pie! Oh My!” because candidly when I think of Thanksgiving I think of my grandmother’s pies. {wink}

It’s A Big Secret

I know what you’re thinking… those are supposed to be a secret… well they are unless you read my blog and then I get to give you a sneak peek! {wink} This month’s Cricut Mystery Box has five cartridges in it, a value of $79.99 and you get my Pie! Oh My! cartridge plus four others for $29.99 to kick off your holiday crafting!

What Is The Cricut Mystery Box?

If you’re not familiar with Cricut’s Mystery Box, then let me give you the dish. These designs and all the others in the box are not available for sale in Cricut Design Space right now and won’t be for a while so if you want to craft with any of these (and I so hope you do!!!) then you have to pick them up in this month’s Mystery Box.

The other thing to know is that they’re digital, which means you get access immediately and you don’t have to wait on the cartridge to arrive. Yay! I do warn that these designs are exclusively for the Explore family of machines.

How Do I Buy The Cricut Mystery Box?

The Mystery Box is easy to purchase on Cricut.com and is only available for a few short days so shop fast!! Plus:

• 30% off most Cricut supplies this week, and
• FREE shipping with code FREESHIPNOV to US and Canada (YAY!)

So Shop Now & Get the November 2016 Cricut Mystery Box

10 Pie! Oh My! Cricut Cartridge Craft Project Ideas

If you’re wondering what you can do with these designs, well let me give you a few ideas. These are the things I had in mind when they were designed. These are just a few possibilities:

1. Pie template for powdered sugar – image Uncle Billy coming over for Thanksgiving and you’ve sprinkled the pumpkin pie with the template that says “Mine and Yours” pie slices. {giggle}
2. Vellum pie cover – take your favorite pie (that cracked because it was still warm when you moved it) to Thanksgiving dinner with this clever cover that says “Thankful for Family and Pie.” Everyone will swoon over how beautiful it is and won’t even care that it’s cracked when you finally take the cover off. Plus, you could quickly cover it with whip. {wink}
3. Leftover tag – print these as stickers or on cardstock and place on brown paper bags full of leftovers after the big dinner. I know I personally keep all the pie and send the veggies home with relatives!
4. Acorn placecard – personalize the small banner on the acorn (4 separate elements so you can make it 2-D if you’d like) to show all of your guests that they’re special and that you’ve thought of them.
5. Wreath – the small fall wreath is perfect for gift packaging, or you can make it large and use the leaf and berry cuts in the cartridge to make a large one for your front door. The bow is separate, so it can also be 2-D.
6. Owl – I plan to use this little guy for our Thanksgiving kid’s table. The parents get the acorn placecards and the kid’s will get the owls!
7. Thankful card – I plan to use this as a Thanksgiving day invitation to help my family all remember what time to show up and what to bring. I mean, who needs two green bean casseroles… two pies, yes. Two casseroles… not so much. {wink}
8. Thankful typography lettering – this cut is perfect for a large vinyl in your living room, or for a pretty little t-shirt or apron to wear while cooking!
9. Patterns – these are perfect for backgrounds on a number of projects. Think about banners for labels, letters for banners, iron-on, pillows (using Cricut’s printable fabric), etc.
10. Scrapbook page – all of these elements would make a beautiful fall or Thanksgiving scrapbook page to show off all those amazing moments you and your family are going to have this holiday season!

These are just a few of my ideas, I’m sure when you look at these designs you probably see a entirely different set of crafts. And that is the beauty of Cricut. One design can be hundreds of different crafts, especially since you can pull back the layers and pick and choose exactly what you want to use.
