Three 'thank you cards,' one 'congrats on your engagement,' and one 'birthday' card. I have been experimenting with my machine so much that I have not been using cross methods off style...hence my trip to Hobby Lobby! More cards to come with cross styles (Stamps, buttons, etc.).
The CRICUT is finally in my possession. Thank you mom, dad and Kody for your collaboration. Here are my first cards made solely with the Cricut Cartridges. So far I have the schoolhouse one that comes with the machine, Stretch Your Imagination, Cursive 101, and Mickey and Friends. I am also excited that we now have a Hobby Lobby that is right down the road from us. Yippee! I grew up with Hobby Lobby in the south, so I am super excited it is so close. I will hit that store up today for a few embellishments to finish several more experimental cards.
Stamped and embossed white 'Congrats'
The inside, white sparkles on the border.
Cricut congrats with handmade diploma.
Stamped and embossed silver.
The inside is stamped and embossed. The diploma is hand rolled with vellum and gold ribbon.
The stars are created from my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut. The inside also stamped and embossed. The stars are penciled yellow.
Stampendous stamp with black elastic ribbon and three black brads. Guess i forgot to take a picture on the inside, it just reads Thinking of you.
Black and white polka-dots are actually a sticker.
Pink rhinestone flowers
This is my first attempt with Mod Podge. I used a cheap wood frame from Micheal's Craft Store and scrapbook paper from Costco. I ended up taking out the piece of paper with Jenna's name on it because I did not like it. In the future, I will paint the entire frame, which I did not do, and then distress the edges. In this first attempt I sanded down all the edges, including the edges on the inside. I used hot glue for the buttons, ribbon and silver loop. I cannot wait to try some more!
