12 X 12 Page Cricut Cartridge Freshly Picked

Good morning everyone!! Hope your weekend was great. Today we have some sunshine here in Northern California. We are hoping the sunshine stays for good. I am sorry the photo of my page is a bit fuzzy. You can still get the idea of the layout.

Cut 1 - 2 in Flower 7 words (bulb), 1 - 2 in Rake 2 words (grow), 1 -  2 in water can words (water). Cut 2 3 X 4.5 in rectangular mats. Use glitter gems on the words.


Another simple but fun page. Enjoy!!

Blessings,

Thinking of You Card Using the Freshly Picked Cartridge

I made this pretty card for friends at our at church. They are currently going through a life trial and thought the card would lift them up. Since my husband purchased the Cricut Expression for me in November of 2009, making cards is the norm now. The cards are made with love and better quality than a store bought one any day of the week. Our friends just love that fact that they are handmade. The cartridge which is used is the Freshly Picked and a scroll from the Serenade. The Serenade is one of the two cartridges which came with my Cricut. For a long time I could not afford to purchase any cartridges. So, I became super creative and thought up all types of ways to used the images. Remember think out of the box when creating.

Supplies Needed;

Cricut Cartridges; Freshly Picked and Serenade

Cardstock Solid and Printed

Sparklie Glue

Cricut Cutting Machine

Instructions;

Cut 1-  3 3/4 inch each of Freshly Picked, Gloves 2, Gloves 2(shift), Gloves 2 (layers), and Gloves 2 (Layers shift). Cut 1- 1 3/4 in scroll from the Serenade Cartridge.

Make a mat for the card from the printed cardstock.

Put everything together and place on the card. Then, just add your sparklie glue and little dots on the scroll.

Enjoy!!

Blessings,

Carol

Spring Card, Using Freshly Picked Cricut Cartridge

Here is another card I did today for the Creating Keepsakes Community challenge. Yes, this is one of my new cartridges from cricut machine.com. Love those those deals when I can find them. Wahoo!! This card I am going to save and give to someone who has a birthday coming up.


Supplies Needed;

Cricut Cartridge Freshly Picked

Printed Paper, Cardstock

Gems

Chalks

Clear Glue, Adhesive Squares

Cricut Cutting Machine

Blade 5, Pressure med or high, Speed low or med


Cut the following with your Cricut Cutting Machine.

Cut 1- 2 in hat 1, cut 1- 2 hat 1 shift, cut 1- 2 in hat 1 layers, cut 1- 2 in hat 1 layers shift, cut 1- 2 in hat 1 layers 2.

Cut 1- 1 1/2 in word bloom flower 6, and cut 1- 1 1/2 in word bloom flower 6.

Assemble the hat with all the pieces and then chalk specific areas of the hat that you would like. Chalk around the entire edges of the mat and card. Assemble the the word bloom then glue to a mat. I used my decorative corner rounder for the four corners.

The mat for the card base is a piece that I did not measure. I just eyed it.

Add gems where the photo shows.

I loved the colors and the gems. May have to purchase more gems, they add a bit of fun sparkle.
