New Projects

In my last post I stated that TK (my husband) purchased a Cricut for me.  Over the past couple of months I have been learning how to use it and create new cards.  I have had a blast so far and can't wait to learn more.
One of my first cards was a for TK's cousin's Eagle Scout award.  I forgot to take a picture of it, but thought it turned out pretty good for using the Cricut for the first time.  The next card I made I was experimenting with the lettering and seizing; which I am still trying to figure out.  The picture below was a card for my cousin who just finished his first semester at college.

 

 

The next project that I worked on was one of TK's birthday gifts.  It did not really turn out, but he still liked it because it was baseball related.

Project number three...I started to work on some thank you cards. The cartridges I mainly used were "Wild Card" and "Storybook." I used the Cricut and the Cuttlebug.

 
Project number four...It is now time for mother’s day.  I created two cards and a note pad. I am unsure what type of paper I used, but thought they would both be great for mother’s day.  With the 1st card I used a new tool that creates straight edge holes; there are other attachments that create a variety of lines/holes). Once you have made the holes, you are able to use cross-stitch yarn for added embellishment.  The 2nd card, I just used a saying from the "Wild Card" cartridge. The note pad was purchased at Craft Direct and I just added the paper and the saying.

Project number five...two of my co-workers recently lost their beloved animals; I decided to make them thinking of you card.  As usual I used the "Wild Card" cartridge to create these wonderful cards.

Project number six...I made a card for my dad as a thinking of you card, but I might just give to him as a father’s day card.  I used the "Just Because" cartridge, it created the card, the phrase and the car.

Project number seven...I completed a graduation card for TK's cousin. I used the "Wild Card" cartridge which created the card, phrase, tassel and the envelope.

I hope you all enjoyed this collage of cards that I created over the past couple of months.
