Cat Cards

Here are a few cards that I made for Cat Love- the rescue group that I volunteer for.
I used Cricut Lite- Meow for the cuts.
Cardstock- Die Cuts With A View

More Imagine More Cards cards

Sorry-I couldn't resist that title!
Maybe my next post should be more and more Imagine More Cards cards :-P

I love how these 2 turned out.
I just cut the multiple layers and gave them lots of dimension w/ pop dots,gussied them up a bit with Stickles and a little bling with my i-rock.

Imagine More Cards

I was able to get a new Imagine cart and some ink yesterday @ the Michaels where I work- YAY!
I got the Imagine More Cards cartridge @ the sale price SCORE!
These are just 2 quickies that I whipped out.
The cake card has a little Stickles for embellishment and the lace punches are from Martha Stewart.
The whale has some crystal lacquer over his water spout and the background paper is from SU!

Cricut Paisley Zebra Card

I made this card my friends daughter on the occasion of her passing her drivers test.
PP- Making Memories
Corner Punch -SU!
i-rock bling

Imagine Goodie Bags

I made this little holiday treat holder using Imagine Best Friends- the purse is one of the bonus features.
I selected the "cut only" mode on my Imagine and cut it @ 9 inches using Basic Grey Figgy Pudding paper.
For the little tag- I used the tree that is pre-loaded on the Imagine.I cut the outer red tree @ 2.2 and the green tree @ 2 inches.
The stamp is a very ancient DOTS one and the ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.
I rubbed a little gold acrylic paint around the edges.
Easy Peasy!

Butterfly Card

I made this card with the butterfly image from Imagine More. I printed and cut it twice, added a little Stickles, then folded the top butterfly and glued him to the flat one. The back ground shape is one of the ones already loaded on the Imagine filled with a design from Imagine More.
The shaped card is off the Christmas Cards seasonal cartridge.

First Imagine Lay Out

I made this lay out with 5 buttons, 2 sheets of blue paper, a scrap of yellow paper, and 2 sheets of white card stock- that's it! All the multicolored elements were printed and cut on the Cricut Imagine using the Imagine more cartridge!

Cricut Circle Blog Weekly Contest Entry

This contest asked us to use our Circle Exclusive Cart French Manor and bling.

I did the "sunflower" cut using my Imagine- I filled in the golden pattern with the Imagine Mystical Garden cartridge. The "bonjour" I cut out of black cardstock on my Expression(didn't want to use all that black ink on my Imagine!)

Then I just went to town adding the bling w/ my i-rock(LOVE that tool!)
I used my Adirondak gold paint daubers to add some gilding around the edges.

Celebrate w/ Flourish plus Imagine More

Oh me Oh My- I am in LOVE! I used my Celebrate w/ Flourish witch image in my Imagine and filled in the colors and pattern off my Imagine More cartridge-what fun trying out the different color combos and getting to preview them on the screen before cutting!

The post office is going to love my Imagine because I have been layering all my cuts up on two layers of pop dots- making them extra fat and requiring an extra stamp to mail.LOL

For the card shape I broke in my new Christmas cards Seasonal solutions cart- this is shape #6 and I made it out of some ancient Pizzazzil paper-remember that?!

Nursery Tails Doily card

When I saw these elements on the childs' growth chart in Nursery Tails, I knew that I wanted to isolate,print, and cut them.Then combine them with the doily card from Wild Card.
I added some punched branches (Martha Stewart),bows,inked edges, and Stickles to complete the cards.

First Imagine Projects

What great timing- my Cricut Imagine came yesterday-just in time for World Card Making Day today WOOO HOOOO!
I am really loving it-it does use a slightly different mind set than working with the regular Cricut but I was up and running with it in about an hour.
But I feel like I am only scratching the surface and still have a lot more to learn.

This is one of the first projects that I made- a kraft 4 x 4 top fold card base.I cut the matting elements from Imagine More- I changed the pattern and color on the green layer,flipped the lined layer w/ the blue base, cut the flowers from a different element (added some Stickles and a little ribbon)I can see that I will be using lots of pop dots with the layers cut on the Imagine.

The "HI" I cut from black cardstock on Bugzilla (my Expression) from Story Book. I didn't want to use the black ink from Iggy (my Imagine) until I find some place that is selling the ink refills-until then I plan on being pretty frugal with my prints/cuts.
