Number One Dad Card from Celebrate with Flourish Cricut Cartridge

I made this A2 card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") using the new Cricut Lite Celebrate with Flourish cartridge!  It's in my top 5 picks for the Cricut Lite release since it is so versatile!

I cut the "#1 Dad" and fishing rod/reel/fish combo at 3" each.  It worked out since I could go ahead and angle the fishing rod.  I added a silver brad where the reel goes.  Fortunately, this time the fish was hooked through the mouth, as opposed to the eyes as I (mistakenly) did on the Wildlife fishing card (whoops!).

I layered the "number one dad" cut on top of the fishing rod cut for two reasons: space considerations and I thought it made a more impactful die cut!

It took awhile to decide what colors went where for the "number one dad" cut.  To help figure out what to do, I first cut it in all white to see where I wanted to place things (remember, this is before the DS release).  That method can help you figure out where to put things though.  I use the cardstock from Walmart, found in the office supply section, for all my test cuts.

I embossed the white section using the Cuttlebug with my favorite Divine Swirls folder and ran the Martha Stewart double loop punch along the top.

Paper is from Papertrey Ink.
