Thank-You Card

This new Thank-you card I created today was inspired from one I saw in the June/July Cricut magazine, found on page 97.  I though it would be a simple card that people could still create even if they didn’t have a Cricut machine or Cuttlebug. Although I used my Cricut to cut out the circles and letters, I did use my square punch as well.  I would have used a circle punch but I didn’t have one the same size as the square.  I found the square measured approximately 1 3/4″, which I didn’t have the same size in any of my circles.  It would be easy...

April/May Cricut Magazine

I received the April/May issue of the Cricut magazine in the mail today.  It’s featuring lots of pretty spring colors like pink, yellow, green and blue.  Some of this issues topics include Springtime, Mother’s Day, Banners, and Graduation.  I personally love the little banners they’ve made for their layouts.

Sweet Baby Boy Card

I thought I would try my hand at one of the cards in the Cricut magazine that I got recently, so I decided to make the Sweet Baby Boy card found on page 22.  In the magazine they used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the stars, but I used the star from the Sure Cuts A Lot shapes box. I cut out two stars at 5 1/2″ in a light green, and two stars at 5″, one in polka dots, and one in white for the inside of my card.  I also cut out a smaller star at about 2″ in green with cream polka dots.  I inked around my outer star with Blue Sky distressing ink by...

New Cricut Magazine and Button Punch

Today I received my Cricut magazine and my button punch in the mail.  They were ordered from different places, it just happened that they both showed up today.  Needless to say, I’m a very happy person! I love the Cricut Magazine.  In case you didn’t see my previous entry, you can go to Cricut.com and order their new magazine online.  I got a six month subscription and I think I’ll be very happy that I did!  The thing I’m liking about this magazine is that it isn’t just about cards, or layouts…it’s about everything you can do...
