CRICUT EXCLUSIVE EASTER BLESSINGS - Considering that today is Easter - what an appropriate card to share with you today!


I was in Love with this "cartridge" as soon as I saw it!  Had to have it!  I used besides the Easter Blessings but also the Imagine Snapshot; Nature cartridge.  Using the Mini Cricut to cut the cross, thorn crown and words.
1) using the Snapshot; nature, I cut out a square big enough (about 6 in then trimming to fit the card) the background found on pg 9. when you hear the story of Easter and Christ being hung and the skies being darkened - this came to mind.     I then used the paper on pg 2 for the rocks that probably laid below the cross.    On page 6 the straw for the thorn crown cut at 1.444 in.  on page 4, the wood for the cross cut at 4in.

I cut the cross out 2 times  - 1x for the wood cut and the 2nd fr the rocks Then cut the rocks and layered it below the cross.

HE IS RISEN - is using black vinyl since it was tiny to glue down.  (another usage for vinyl).

Cricut Imagine The Good Old Days presents you with......

To start with a very simple card that is available on this cute cartridge..  On page 29 - a card is available for print out as well as an envelope.  How easy is this!!

you can also see this cute image on page 8 - perfect for a scrapbook LO too!

Notice the champagne bottle is sparkly. A lil extra icicle stickles made this drink even yummier. and see her bling bracelet and earring - a little bling is good for anyone!
**Stamp set sentiment is from Pink By Design Summer Vacation.
PAPER design is 2 papers from this cartridge: on pages 38 & 41. I then cut up the heart page and made it in the center.  trying to focus on the colors in this cute picture! ** I added 2 brads and adorned it with glossy essentials.  Inked around the edges using cranberry and blush ink pad from ctmh.
***The card base is cut at 5in and is a card base using the design card base on page 29 and just used the blue paper to change  -

GREETING CARDS INSIDE & OUT  Imagine cartridge
I just loved this cartridge and knew I had to have it as soon as it appeared on hello Thursday!  
The french fries & ketchup is under the ketchup bottle on page 16. Cut out at 3.5 inches.  The paper appears on page 42.
THEN.. I saw this stamp set and again - perfect!  Pink By Design 'YOU ARE"  you can go here to see and purchase  more of her awesome stamp sets at Erica's store at http://www.shop.ericascraftroom.com/
** I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap piece of paper that closely resembled the french fries and inked the edges with cranberry ink pad from ctmh.

 is not the french fries arms around the ketchup - just so adorable!!!

BUMP IN THE NIGHT:

I so love this cartridge!!   I  have made a simple birthday card for anyone at any age..  Wanted to keep in really simple..

** Peachy keen Stamp set PK 692  - Monster Mash face Assortment - used  the 1 3/8th face. (I want more faces this size!!)  I colored in the eyes with orange and green colored pencils.

** the sentiment is from the set "You Make Me Smile All Over" by Inkadinkado. they are sentiments spoken from children.

** Embossing  folders used for embossing mr, monster boy..  CuttlbugTiny Bubbles & Sizzix Tim Holtz Burlap.and inked over using Key Lime and Twilight ink pad from ctmh.

** All the paper is random from my large stash of misc cut up papers.. (good way to use your stash)

** Mr. Monster Boy is 3 layers.  Cut out at about 4.3 in H & 4.42 W. I cut the body (yellow) 2 times and then only embossed the one layer then torn to fit the body and stamped his cute face! giving him a layered body.
