Valentine's Treat Bag - Cricut Cake - Holiday Cake Cartridge

One of my favorite cartridges is the Holiday Cake Cartridge. 
IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE CRICUT CAKE!!  These cartridges can be used in any Cricut machine!! 

 

These are Hershey's Nuggets (Yum Yum)

These were made for our booth at a scrapbook crop coming up later this month so I added our little address labels that advertise our store on the back.

1. On Page 48 of Holiday Cakes Cartridge - Feature Key: Plain Shadow; Function Button: Quantity (enter in # you want to make) Cut these at 3/4". I used 4 different Valentine's Papers from Making Memories
2. Using a mini glue dot, put a dot on the very tip of the wrong side of the strip, wrap each of the strips around the Hershey's Nuggets, sealing on the back
3. On Page 48 of Holiday Cakes Cartridge - Feature Key: Plain Base, Shift Function Button: Quantity (enter in # you want to make). Cut these at 3/4". I used 2 different colors 

4.     Using the Hearts edge punch from Martha Stewart, I punched both of the long edges of the Provocraft     6 by 12 red or pink from the Reds/Pinks Card Stock Pad. I then cut it in half lengthwise down the middle giving me 2 identical pieces.
5.      Score about 1" from the straight side giving you the fold mark.
6.      Cut the strips to fit on your bags. I used zip type jewelry bags from Walmart, found in the bead section. 100 for $2.00. For mine, I used 5 hearts for the width (don't get too scientific)
7.      I put 4 Nugget candies in each bag.
8.     Staple the topper on THEN I glued the Plain Base from step 3 above covering up the staple. You will need to experiment a bit to get the staple in the right place so it doesn't show through the hearts.


Have FUN with this great cartridge that has borders and images for many holidays.  It has designs/borders that can be welded with a Design Studio or a Gypsy!! 

New way to search for an image

I just love this page to search for an image on cartridges.  Gives you the cartridge name, the page and a snapshot of the image so you know if you need the cartridge or not!!
