Cricut Lilac Birthday Card

Hello, my friends!

Today, I have a card that I made for the Bitten By the Bug blog. We were asked to make a project with a birthday theme. Well, is there anything that is more birthday than a birthday card? 

I made this card using the 50 States cartridge. When, I was designing this I had a color scheme in mind, but no clear direction. Since I love flowers like crazy, I went ahead and decided to put flowers on the project. Then, I decided it needed to be a purple flower. At that point I wanted to use lilac. There is only one cartridge out there with lilac (well, until next month), so I chose this cut from 50 States. I love this cut, but would have loved to have more layers. It does the trick though!

If you have a Cricut Explore, here is the file: Cricut Lilac Birthday Card

If you do not, I cut the lilac out at 4" using 50 States and the little aqua banner was cut out from Artistry at 2".

Cricut You Mean the World to Me card

Hello, friends!

Today, I have a card for the Bitten By the Bug blog that has a travel theme. Want to play along? Head over to Bitten By the Bug and upload your travel themed project today! 

To make this card, I used the Artistry cartridge for the globe and the Artiste cartridge for the font. When I designed this card, I was really inspired by a color swatch I found on Pinterest. I have discovered that when I am out of color ideas, Pinterest is the place to go!

If you have a Cricut Explore, here is the file: Cricut You Mean the World to Me card

If you do not, I cut the globe out at 5" and the letters out at 1/2" to 3/4".
