Cricut You are a-maiz-ing card

Hello, friends!

I am hosting the challenge this week over at Bitten By the Bug 2. This week, I asked for everyone to do something food related. It will hopefully make them step outside of their comfort zone a bit. I am pretty sure I have never cut out a corn cob.

For this card, I used the Country Life cartridge. I thought it would be fun to use the play on the word amazing. Since I do not own a stamp set for that, I made my own sentiment using an alphabet stamp set. It is easier than you might think. The stamp set I used is very whimsical and is quite forgiving if it is not perfectly lined up! It is called Glamour Lowercase and will retire in September, so if you want it get it soon!

If you have a Cricut Explore, here is the file: Cricut You are a-maiz-ing card

If you are with out an Explore, I cut out the corn cob at 2 1/2".

Cricut Berry Sweet Scrapbook Layout

Hello, friends!

Today, I have a layout that I made using a couple of cartridges and another free font from the inter webs. I know that sometimes it is frustrating that I use multiple cartridges. The thing is, when I design I typically have something in my head. Typically, one cartridge will not cover everything that is needed for the design. However, you can always alter the file on your end to meet your needs and include cartridges you already own. 

For this scrapbook layout I used Country Life (for the strawberry), Birthday Bash ('berry' and the scalloped circle), and a font called KG Eyes Wide Open ('sweet' get for FREE here). 

The paper pack I used for this layout is the Taste of Summer. Ladies, this paper pack is so beautiful and fun. You definitely should get your paws on this while it is still in stock. It is only supposed to be available until the end of the month, but could sell out before then.

If you have an Explore, here is the file: Cricut Berry Sweet Scrapbook Layout

If you do not have an Explore, here are the sizes:
scalloped circle (Birthday Bash) - 4"
'berry' (Birthday Bash) - 1/2"
strawberry (Country Life) - 1 3/4"
'sweet' (KG Eyes Wide Open) - 3/4"

I love making my own journaling boxes. I was able to do this by using the lines from the Documenting Memories stamp set. I also made my own strawberry embellishments with the Taste of Summer stamp set. I used a border strip from the Brushed compliments to look like a piece of washi tape.

Again, I used the Taste of Summer stamp set to make strawberry embellishments. Also, the three little circles are stickers from the Brushed compliments set.

This text box was made using the Documenting moments stamp set.
