Country Carnival Thank You Card - Cricut Imagine Video

Hi Ladies! Here is my next video. It is using the Cricut Imagine and Counry Carnival cart. Definately a keeper! I show how to make the bonus card and envie on this cart and I also show how to change the border around your cuts. The colors are much more vivid in person. I did the best I could with my video. This one is better than my last. And I will continue to try to improve in the video area. They sure are fun to make! TFL!

Fall Festival

This is a layout I made for a Fall Festival we go to every year. It is at the school I went to when I was growing up. My mom has volunteered to run the Italian food booth there for the last 29 years. She says she wants to do at least 1 more year to make it an even 30 years. She is the reason we still go. We went last night and had a blast! The kids went on rides, played games. and my favorite part, the baked goods booth. I have some really great memories of the Fall Festival and I really enjoy making new ones with my family.

Anywho, all the die cuts are from the Carousel Lite Cartridge. I am so loving this cart! It is fun and layers so easily! The title is also from this cart. The sticker letters are from Karen Foster. The paper is from a very old stack called The Scrapboook Wizard. TFL.

Owl My Thanks

This is my latest card. It is made with my Cricut Expression and Cricut Imagine. The cartridges I used were Wild Card and Imagine More. The owl is from the Wild Card cart. I cut it at 5.5 inches. I used the CI with the Imagine More cart to flood fill the owl with a pattern that I am really loving. I also used the Imagine More cart to flood fill the eye layer with a pattern. Then I used my E to cut the owl on blackout to line the inside of the card with blue cardstock.

I printed the sentiment on the computer in Microsoft Word. It says "Owl My Thanks" two times. All my circle punches are dull or broken because they are so old. And I just can't justify buying more right now with all the toys I have. So, I thought I would give the "Center Point" feature on the Expression a try. I used George and Basic Shapes, sized it to the size I wanted, put my printed paper on there and gave it a try. I think it worked out good. It is not perfect, but I am pleased. I know I will get better at it with time. I put an orange button in the middle to embellish.

I also added blue bling to the eyes and ribbon to the center of the card. TFL!

Count Your Blessings Birdies

I made this card for a friend who just had a baby. On the inside it says. "Count Your Blessings". The birds are cut from Wall Decor and More at 4". The photo corner is from Picturesque and is cut at 1.5". The ovals are custom sized on my Gypsy to fit the birdies. I used George and Basic Shapes for those.

The paper is from the DCWV Latte stack. It has such rich and beautiful colors! The purple in the stack just sang to me. I added some ribbon and a brad and some glitter pen here and there. I don't think I know how to make a project without my glitter pen! TFL!

Thank You Card - Imagine More Cart

This is my second card made with my Imagine. Super easy, super fun! The card is a standard A2 size. The part that was cut with the Imagine is the 3rd pic from the top. It is on page 21 of the Imagine More cartridge. I did not change any of the colors. I did make my own cardstock oval to put behind the cut and printed piece. I popped the piece I cut on the Imagine. I also popped the rose on that set of cuts.

The solid orange and blue colored papers behind it are cardstock from my stash. The checkered paper is from the My Mind's Eye Complete Boy stack. These cartridges will still blend very well with traditional cardstock and printed papers. For me, it will make my matching and card making so much quicker and easier.

The rubber stamp is from Stampendous stamped with a Tim Holtz distress ink. I also used a sander around all the edges to play up the "shabby chic" look that this cartridge seems to lend itself to. I also added ribbon, staples, some glitter pen here and there, and viola... here is my card!
TFL!
