Exploring Cricut ~ Over the Rainbow ~

Good morning!  Thanks for joining me for

another great Exploring Cricut post! 

 

This week I decided to have Roy G. Biv play along!  :-)  And to accomplish this, I pulled out my Elegant Edges cartridge and Everyday Paper Dolls...

 

 I used the Book feature (with Shift) page 29 to create the rainbow edging and trimmed each to layer on a black card stock base.  The cloud and sun are both on Everyday Paper Dolls. 

 

Here's the cuts you will need...

 

Card base is 5.5 x 4.25 black card stock

 

Elegant Edges

Page 29 - Shift Book - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet (4 inch cuts)

 

Everyday Paper Dolls

Sun - Yellow - 5.25 inch cut (2 cuts, layered)

Cloud - White - 5.25 inch cut

 

Additional Supplies

Dimensional Foam

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time...

 

Blessings....

 

 

Exploring Cricut - Daily Project

Happy Friday to ya! So glad you could stop by. Today I am sharing a project I created for Diane over at Exploring Cricut. This little gem will be going to a young lady expecting her first baby. I pulled out at least one cartridge I hadn't even used before! Is that bad when you have Cricut cartridges you have never used? :-)

I created the card base by cutting two scallops from Elegant Edges. I then cut a slightly smaller circle (George) and edged it with lace. I inked the edges with Ranger Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass) for extra charm. This darling mum to be can be found on Cricut's New Arrival. I gave her a little added glam by adding ribbon and pearl detailing along with some glass slippers courtesy of Stickles. The sentiment from Our Daily Bread Design's Daffodil Tag Set fits right in with a shower theme. I hope she likes it! Thanks for stopping by and until next time... blessings...
