Baby Lamb Cricut Card

Oh how I love the smell of a newborn baby.  There’s nothing quite like it.  I got to hold a baby this week.  Even though she wasn’t a newborn, she was so sweet and pretty with big brown eyes.  Today I have a Baby Lamb Cricut Card to share that’s perfect for a baby girl.

This pretty little lamb is on the Create A Critter Cricut Cartridge.  I can’t tell you how much I love that cartridge.  It has so many great animals that are perfect for birthdays, boys, girls, Halloween, Christmas, and so much more.

I cut the base of the lamb in medium pink cardstock.  Then the layers are cut out of white and medium gray.  You will notice that the cardstock has a canvas texture.  It’s from Bazzill Basics.  I love their cardstock.  It is a nice weight and cuts great on the Cricut.  On my Cricut Expression, I use the following settings when cutting Bazzill:

• Speed – 5
• Pressure – 5
• Blade Depth – 5

I don’t have any trouble cutting it, and my blades last a long time.  There are a few colors that don’t cut as well as others though.  One of them is Crimson.  I think it has to do with the density of the cardstock.  It either doesn’t make a clean cut, or it looks like tiny threads on the edges.  Very few of Bazzill’s colors do that though, and their Smoothie Cardstocks cut great.
