I Love Ewe Card

Yes, I have been playing with my Cricut Explore and Design Space again.
I am just loving this new machine. I know I've said it before. I just do. LOL

I designed this in Cricut Design Space.
I wrote first on the card.
Then I cut the Sheep fur, eyes and nose.
Then I cut the heart shapes out.
I did this by hiding the other contours of the design so only the shapes I wanted cut out.
I enlarged, duplicated and welded the back ground scallop card for the card base.
This card can be found on the Cricut Cartridge Spring Holiday Cards.

Happy Crafting!!

St. Patrick's Day Feeling Lucky Card

I made 3 different versions of this card.

               

The card on the left I wrote I feel Lucky with the Explore. I filled it in with stickles.  

The 2 posts on each side of the pot of gold I wrote and cut.

The pot of gold I fussy cut 

The center card I cut out as the original images.

I cut it in green and then black and yellow.

Then I fussy cut the pieces and adhered them to my card.

The card on the right I did the same as the card on the left.

Except I fussy cut the pot of gold differently.

The Cricut cartridge you can find this card on is Spring Holiday Cards.

Happy Crafting!!

Chalkboard Signs

I made some Chalkboard Signs with the Cricut Explore and Design Space.
I am having so much creating embellishments with this machine and software.
I was experimenting with different colors and fonts to see which I liked best.

 

The label is from Cricut cartridge lacy labels. 

The fonts I used were Cricut Alphabet and Chalkboard fonts.
