MUCH EARLIER TODAY!!

Hi Everyone

I'm here again .. .. a little earlier than yesterday.

Today I decided to get my Cricut into action and see if I could create a few cards using a cartridge I bought last year in a sale.  I knew it would come in one day .. .. and today is that day.

Here is my creation:





This was made using:

Papers:  All GCD Studios "Ella Blue"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Cricut Cartridges:  George and Basic Shapes  plus  Christmas/Noel
Nestabilities Die:  Deckled Rectangle Large
Josy Rose:  Hot Fix Gems
Diamond Stickles
Distress Ink Pad:  Old Paper for distressing edges
Tiny Snowflake Punch with no name (shame)

I enjoyed using my Cricut and really should use it more.  I was able to cut everything except the sentiment die on the machine and could leave it working whilst I was getting on with other things.  Great for production line creating and I managed six like this fairly quickly.

Have a lovely evening everyone and stay safe if you are going to watch any fireworks.

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

    Now this is something I need to do Jules, I never use it hardly at all now. I had to change it position when I moved into my new craft room and its a bit of a bother to hook it up etc. Lame excuse I know but this lovely card has given me some incentive to give it a go!! have a great weekend.

    Hi Jules, Beautiful card! I love the Ella Blue papers and they make gorgeous Christmas cards.

    On Wednesday my new Cricut arrived but I haven't had a chance to take it out of the box yet. Think I am going to have a play with it tonight when the children are tucked up in bed.

    Hi Jules, absolutely love the reindeer and the colour combo. Very elegant. I know the sentiment is computer generated, but do you have the name of the font?
