Birthday Card and Santa Layout

This card was made for my mom. I can't remember where I got the instructions for the pop up flowers online, but I used the cricut and quickutz dies to make the corners and leaves and used their design studio file for the pop up insert.

This is a 12x12 layout made for my nephew's album. The santa was made with a file from My Scrap Chick, the file is suppose to be for cards but is easy to just enlarge it for a layout. Click here to see the file: winterfaces

Side step card

My cousin tina graduated from nursing school, so I made her a special card. This is called a side step card. I googled and found the instructions. I made this 5 x 7 and used Cricut's Everyday Paper Doll Cartridge to make the cute nurse.

Cut nurse uniform with Imagine and used patterns from Best friends cartridge to make the unform including her cute shoes. Imagine makes it easy to coordinate colors, plus it cuts detailed images well.

Another birthday card

Birthday card made for my sweet friend Bea, made with Imagine More Cards. I think layers were cut at 5.5 inches.

Playing with Cricut Flower Shoppe Cartridge

At first I was a little confused about what to do to make the flowers but then I went online and looked at some flowers made using this cartridge and just went for it. I use scrap cardstock and played with different cuts. I love how dimensional these flowers are you can mix and match the different layers to make really pretty and unique flowers. This cartridge is a must have!!
