Cricut Artistry Octopus card

Hello, friends!

This was the very first project I made using the Artistry cartridge! It is hard to believe that it has been almost an entire year since this great cartridge was released! Since then, I have made over seventy projects using this cartridge. That is a lot of projects made using a cartridge, y'all!

I made the water by taking a rectangle and the mustache border and slicing off the top of the square. It worked perfectly! For the sand, I welded 3 circles together and trimmed them down to fit in the square. The sign that this octopus is so generously holding for me, was made by using a word bubble and a rectangle. I welded them together and voila! Then I sliced the sentiment into the sign. The font is from this cartridge. I will have a video about the font soon!

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 Artistry Moroccan Shape card

Hello, friends!

It's Friday, y'all! Can you believe it? This week has flown by. Do you guys have anything fun planned this weekend? I am getting my hair cut and colored and then going to see the new Star Trek movie! I really love Star Trek!

Today's card is made using the Artistry cartridge and is one of my favorites. What is not to love. It has my favorite color (aqua) and flowers! It is both elegant and cute. 


Also, for this card I used a new stamp set called Floral Banners. It is truly a beautiful stamp set! I just stamped the flowers on colored cardstock and cut them out using scissors. I find this so relaxing at times believe it or not.

If you do not have an Explore, I cut everything but the rectangular piece out at 4 1/2" and the rectangular piece at 4"
