Garland Gas
The beauty of the Garland Gas Range, together with its many labor and money-saving conveniences and gas-saving devices, makes cooking a joy. But, best of all, the Garland oven-best control serves as an automatic cook and lightens the housewife’s burdens.

Pansy Pastry flour

Mrs. Delaney recognizes Pansy Pastry Flour as the best procurable and MJ Birnie as the Quality and Service Grocer of Rome. That is why she has chosen Staple Groceries and Pansy Pastry Flour from his store. For best results use Pansy Pastry. It goes further than other brands because it is so light and fluffy. Remember there is only one Pansy Flour and it is made by Farwell & Rhines of Watertown, N.Y. Always look for the Pansy Wreath. Sold only by M.J. Birnie in Rome. If you trade at Birnie’s store you are assured of the finest foods procurable, carefully selected and quickly delivered.

 

Rob Roy Ice Cream

The selection of Roy Roy Ice Cream for demonstration at the Cooking School places upon this ice cream the approval of a food expert, and you’ll find that this purity and careful manufacture adds a new deliciousness.

free Make it Now™ projects and images that you get with Cricut Design Space™

Now that you’re more familiar with Cricut Explore One™, Cricut Explore Air™ and Cricut Design Space™, it’s time to chat about some of the really neat things you can create when you put it all together.

As you’re getting familiar with your Cricut machine, it’s a great idea to take advantage of the free Make it Now™ projects and images that you get with Cricut Design Space™.

For example, check out this adorable 3D Hot Air Balloons Mobile. It’s a fun, easy starter project and makes for the perfect baby shower or toddler’s birthday gift (and can you believe it’s made with felt?). And what’s a gift without a card? Cricut has an incredible selection of card examples made with Cricut Explore machines. There’s even a whole selection dedicated to everything baby, which is where I came across this cute baby shower card.

Birthday
What better way to tell someone how special they are than with a hand/Cricut-made card and gift? This super fun shaker card is perfect for a 21+ birthday. And even if you purchase a gift, you can always use your Cricut Explore machine to personalize it. For example, if you bought a friend a purse or a wallet, you could use your machine to monogram it with their initials. Or if you bought them a plain shirt or sweater, you could customize it with a fun image or statement.

I love this sparkly pineapple t-shirt. All you need is a blank shirt, a roll of Cricut Iron-on, and images from the Cricut® Summer Love image set.

Pool Party
Soak up the summer fun with a pool party! You can use your Cricut Explore to create everything from invitations to decorations. Here are some really creative ideas for how to add some special splash to a pool party.

Engagement/Wedding
Make your own beautiful table decorations, banners, party favor boxes, cards, and more for the happy couple in just a few minutes! You’ll find some really impressive ideas in Cricut’s Design Space, such as this lovely Mr. & Mrs. card.

There are an unbelievable number of project examples in the Design Space, which are categorized by type (e.g. baby, holidays, home décor, school, food, etc.) and by level (easy, moderate, and advanced). You can also find a ton of great ideas for projects on Cricut’s Blog and Pinterest page.

The summer season is a perfect time to get your very own Cricut machine and familiarize yourself with Design Space and all the incredible projects you can create. Try out a few projects each month and you’ll be amazed at how easy it is. By the time the holiday season rolls around, you’ll be a Cricut pro and will wow your friends and family with your stunning crafting skills!

Happy crafting!
