Creative & Fun Easter Egg Hunt Ideas For Older Kids

Creative & Fun Easter Egg Hunt Ideas For Older Kids

Quick Tip - A lot of these sites are now so covered in advertisements that they are practically unreadable.   As a blogger myself, I do  know ads are necessary, but being able to read the actual post is sort of necessary too.   :-) I use the Rocket Reader Extension on Chrome.

When the ads cover the text on a site, I just click on the rocket in the top right of my toolbar, and it  translates the page into a sleek, just the text, page.  It won't work for every webpage, but it does for many of them!

My Favorite Tried & True Fonts For Cutting

Tried and True Cutting Fonts
This is an older list, abut a few years ago, I did a "test cut" of  a bunch of fonts.  You can see the results below.  Not all fonts cut really well with cricut, but these all do. 
 Nearly all of them are still free - for those that are not free, I suggest free alternatives.

Quick Tip - Using A Weeding Box Around Text

When working with a bunch of text at once, it can be very difficult to weed.  Creating a box around each section of text removes excess vinyl and makes smaller sections to work on, one at a time.  It really makes it much easier!

This is not something you will want to do all of the time. It is an extra step.  But especially when working on Christmas ornaments, this really helps with weeding those little boxes of text.  
Now that there is an offset option in Design Space, you can just add an offset to your text, and attach your text to that offset shape.  I used an offset of .97 here.

Just be sure to attach your text to the offset shape.  It will look like your text disappeared, but when you send it to cut, the letters will cut out of the inside of those offset shapes.

Or you can still do it the old way, with rectangles:

First, Type your text, then add a rectangle shape to cover the text.  Resize by clicking on the lock on the bottom left, to "unlock" the shape.


Once all of your rectangles are created, select them all, and then choose arrange/ send to the back.  This isn't strictly necessary - but I like to see that my text is placed in the rectangle correctly.

Send To the Back is under Arrange, at the top of your screen in design space.


Now choose  Select all, and attach.  This will turn everything the same color.

Now when you weed, start with the outside, and it will weed all the excess around your rectangles.  Now you can weed one rectangle at a time.
