Handmade Friendship Card

October 14, 2014 by Pam Larmore 4 Comments

Today I have a handmade friendship card to share for my spot on the My Cricut Craft Room Design Team.  It’s fun to send someone a card for no reason other than to thank them for being a friend and make them smile.

Handmade Friendship Card using Country Life Cricut Cartridge

My Mom bought me the Country Life Cricut Cartridge last year for Christmas.  Each year I put a few Cricut Cartridges on my wish list, and after Christmas, I treat myself to a couple with my Christmas money.

I don’t know why, but I haven’t used this cartridge much.  It has some great die cuts on it, that I really like, but I guess I was always working on other themes.

While working on my Design Team Cards for My Cricut Craft Room,  I saw that one of the themes was Girls.  I picked that one right away, because I knew it would be easy!  A few days later, I saw this watering can and flower on the Country Life Cricut Cartridge, and I knew that it was a perfect fit for the Girly theme.

How to make this Handmade Friendship Card

Supplies you will need:

  • 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ white cardstock for the base
  • 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of blue cardstock for a mat
  • 5″ x 3 3/4″ piece of patterned paper for background
  • 1 1/4″ – 1 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ piece of patterned or solid coordinating paper
  • Border Punch
  • 1″ “Smile” from the Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge
  • 3 1/2″ Watering Can with Flower from the Country Life Cricut Cartridge
  • Scrapbook adhesive

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Fold the 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2 card in half to make the card base.
  2. Attach the colored cardstock mat to the card base.
  3. Attach the patterned paper to the mat.
  4. Use the border punch to edge the strip of patterned paper.  You can also use solid paper.  The width of the paper will depend on how deep the border punch is.  Some make a thin border, and other’s make a wide border.
  5. Add the strip with the punched borders to the bottom portion of the card leaving a 1/4″ space at the bottom.
  6. Add the watering can and flower and the “Smile”.
  7. I added turquoise Stickles glitter to the water coming from the watering can and a pink adhesive pearl to the center of the flower.

Handmade Friendship Card Using the Country Life Cricut Cartridge and Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge

This is an easy card layout that can be use with any combination of patterned, solid, or embossed paper.  You can use different Cricut die cuts and sentiments for any occasion.  It’s so much fun surprising someone with a handmade friendship card.  I hope you will make some too!

Hydrangea Card Using Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge

March 8, 2014 by Pam Larmore 2 Comments

The hydrangea on the Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge is one of my favorite Cricut cuts.  I am a sucker for flowers. I love flower stamps, flower paper, and of course flower die cuts. Here’s how I made this hydrangea card.

I used the Butterfly Garden Paper Stack from Die Cuts With A View.   The colors in the stack are beautiful with some added foil on a few of the prints.  There are also prints with butterflies and flowers.  I used one a green print and a pink print to cut two bases for the hydrangea using the Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge.

I cut the flower part off of the pink one and attached it so that the only green part that shows is the leaves.  Then I used the layer feature to cut the flower part that shows more detail.  Finally, I used the layer feature to cut out the individual flowers.  The flower has 3 layers, and I used pop dots between each layer to give the flower extra dimension.

I used 4 different patterns of paper for the background of the card and added an organza ribbon and knot.  I fussy cut the butterfly out of the cover of the paper pack.  I hated to waste a whole piece of 12×12 paper for just one butterfly.  I attached it with a mini glue dot in the center so that I could fold the wings up.

To finish the card, I used cream colored Liquid Pearls to add centers to the individual flowers and pink stick on pearls to the corner.

The Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge has flowers, leaves, caterpillars, snails, butterflies, dragonflies, turtles, and lots of garden accessories.  The special features include a tag that makes a great bookmark, borders, and cards.

How To Make Bookmarks with the Cricut

Using the Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More Cricut Cartridge is a great base to make bookmarks. This cartridge has a variety of tags that are perfect for making bookmarks. There are rectangular and oval tags with different features and different shaped tops. You can use the hole feature for tying ribbons, fibers, tassels, and twine.

Bookmarks are easy to make with the Cricut. Many of the Cricut Cartridges have shapes and tags that are perfect for bookmarks. You can add decorate edges, rubber stamping, die cuts, tassels, and ribbon to decorate your bookmarks. It's a great group activity. I want to make these with my niece and her friends!

Thinking of You Card Using Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge

February 26, 2014 by Pam Larmore 4 Comments

Flowers are always perfect for a Thinking of You Card.

Walk in my garden cricut cartridge thinking of you flower card

The Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge was one of the very first ones that I bought, and it’s still one of my favorites.  I love the flowers, but I also love the bugs and creepy crawlies on that cartridge.  Walk In My Garden can be used for so many fun Cricut projects.

I am a sucker for the paper stacks in Joanne Fabrics, and I found this one on sale for 50% off.  It has lots of oranges and yellows in wonderful florals, stripes, dots, and natural prints.  All of those mixy matchy papers make it easy to make cards.

The base of the card is vanilla Bazzill cardstock.  Then I added a dark brown mat.  For the flower, I cut the hydrangea, because I like the leaves.  Since I only wanted the leaves, I cut off the flower part.  Then I cut the same flower out three times in 3 different sizes and patterns.

I stamped Thinking of You using the Stampin’ Up set Teeny Tiny Wishes and punch it out using the Stampin’ Up Label punch.

To finish the card, I added bronze colored pearls and an off white bow using binder tape ribbon, also by Stampin’ Up.

Today was a snow day.  We might have another one tomorrow. I sure hope so. It puts me in the mood to be crafty!
