In this video you’ll learn to make a craft tube holder using just paper, a trimmer and a score blade. You’ll also learn some tricks about using the Cricut Expression 2 and create a cute squirrel for this project. GUESS WHAT?! You’ll even see a sneak peak of my newest stamp release…IT’S ALL FALL PUNS!! I hope you enjoy it!

Very cute project!! Love the squirrel
adorable Joy, love that squirrel! you’ve totally inspired me….I’m off to make a craft holder!
hugs
love this squirrelly video! I usually don’t like giving cash because I feel like its impersonal, but not anymore with this great idea! Totally personalizable! (is that a word)?
This is a great way to package up some cash and make it a more personal gift! Love it! Also, I agree with you on the “Campin’ Critters” cartridge–their eyes ARE FREAKY!! But I bought it anyway on clearance at Hobby Lobby, and FINALLY got my Gypsy out and figured out how to hide cuts so I could stamp a face on them (with Peachy Keen stamps, lol)! Glad to hear about the new stamps! I LOVE fall projects!
Your Stamp goes soooo well with this project! I LOVE the squirrel and the video…. Thanks for sharing it….
