Whimsical Floral Thank you card



Before I get going today, I wanted to let you guys know that it looks like everything is back up and working properly. Also, I did not go anywhere, so scroll down and see the things I have been making. Yesterday's post was not the first post I had done in a while. It was one of many!

Today, I have a project I made using a cheap SVG from online (doodle flowers) and a cut from the Artiste cartridge (the little banner that coordinates with the stamp set). What I really want you guys to notice is how thin the doodle part of the flowers are. My Explore cut it like a dream without issue! This is a huge improvement, because there is not way the old machine would have been able to cut that! The only hard part is getting it off of the mat with out it tearing, so be very careful if you try this at home!

  14. That's a gorgeous card! You are right, the Cricut EXpression that I have would not be able to cut those tiny items. I'm still on the fence about the Explore but the more I see, the more I am leaning towards getting one.

  18. Just a GREAT card...so fun...and CUTE! Would love to know how you got the wording on "Thanks Oodles" to be darker than the scribble background (would think all would be the same color/shade).
