~ Exploring Cricut ~ A Happy Tree ~

Good morning!  Thanks for joining me for another fun Exploring Cricut post!  I'm excited to share a first time project using Create a Critter 2!  I've had this little gem awhile but hardly get to play!  I think this might be my new go to cartridge! 

All cuts are at 4 inches.  My card base is a standard 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I cut a shadow layer in Kraft.  I then cut two layers in orange and burgundy.  The final two layers are black (to shadow his happy face) and dark brown.  I added a bit of Stickles to my leaves for fun!  A super quick card that I can mass produce!  LOVE THOSE! 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget to stop back by Monday for our bi-weekly challenge!  It promises to be FUN!  {{hugs}}

Exploring Cricut Daily Post ~ That Yellow Star ~

Happy Friday and welcome to another fun project at Exploring Cricut!

Today, I created a simple Christmas card using a fun new cartridge for me, Create a Critter 2!  Any similarities between this yellow star and my favorite department store symbol are purely coincidental...  ;-) 



The card measures 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches.  The base was made with white Bazzill card stock adding a layer of red and a final embossed Neenah Solar Crest layer.  I used my Cuttlebug folder, Snowflakes for embossing.  The star measures out to 3 inches while the sentiment is 2 inches.  I layered both the star and word happy with dimensional foam for some pop.  And the final touch?  Some strategically placed pearls...  Easy and fun...

Now on to some shopping...  lol...

Have a wonderful day!  Until next time...

Blessings...
