I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My family and I attended a German festival that we attend every year. We had a great time eating strudel, sauerkraut, and sausage! Then we went to IKEA to get a few things to help organize my room better. I sometimes think it would just be easier to buy a bigger house ;-) I will take picture though at some point and show you all how I organize my crafty space.
Now I know I said I would post a bag on Friday made using the new Scandinavian Christmas Cards cartridge. Well, since the ok came through late in the day I decided to go ahead and wait to post it. Then at some point over the weekend, I thought it might be a good idea to post it over on Everyday Cricut. That way you guys do not get too sick of my bags. I just love making them and I hope that some of you might venture into the land of fabric!
The bag is posted today on Everyday Cricut. Click here to check it out ==> Peace bag made using Scandinavian Christmas Card cartridge
Today I have a layout that I made using the American Alphabet cartridge and the Cricut Essentials cartridge which come on the E2 machine.
I used DCWV paper. I cut the FABULOUS border out at 3" |
I cut the title out at 1" and placed it on a shape that was cut at 3". The flowers were cut out at 3", 2 1/2", 2", 1 1/2", & 1" then layered to give a 3d effect. The leaves were cut out at 2" and 3". |
The journaling box was cut out at 1 3/4" and then stamped using a retired Close To My Heart stamp set. However, the current stamp of the month has a stamp that would give a similar effect. |
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I will see you all back here tomorrow!
