After updating my Imagine machine the other day, I decided to play around with the Better Together Imagine cartridge. There are just the cutest images and paper patterns on there! I just LOVE IT!
For fun, I pulled out this 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" clear acrylic card (by Close to My Heart) and thought it would make a fun background. The solid yellow is cardstock but everything else was printed on the Imagine.
I loved this flower and bee - the flower was pop dotted all over, including the face (which is pre-printed with the eyes and smile, etc.). The "Happy Spring" sentiment is from My Creative Time's Color Me Happy set and the flower stamp is from Close to My Heart.
Laying flat, you can see the background inner paper through the front. I also inked the edges of the acrylic with black Staz On ink.
For the inside, I cut a scalloped circle and adhered it so it remains hidden by the larger circle on the outside.
How about a giveaway!??

Very cute card. I love my Imagine. I am having some cutting issues when cutting with my Gypsy since I did the update but am still trying to work it out.
What do I
think of the imagine machine, I think I would love to have one some day!
Thanks for sharing.
I bought the Imagine a while ago
... I did get to play with it for a few days. Then when I went to use my regular cartridges it didnt work. I spent many hours on the phone with the tech department at PC. the tech was really supportive and we tried to trouble shoot it. after a while it was hopeless, and I was told to ship the the machine to ProvoCraft...I just spoke to PC yesterday and my NEW imagine is at the warehouse ready to be shipped...Wonder how long it will take to come Utah to Rhode Island. I just cant wait to play with it and learn all I can do with it. dawn RI

I love love my imagine machine but I also love my baby cricut. Love your card! Thanks for a chance to win.
Oh man that was so cute. I don't think I'd be smart enough to even work the cricut imagine. It looks complicated but I love the end products. The colors go together so perfectly. What a darling card.
I like the Imagine, it saves me the time of picking out the papers (the hardest part for me, I want to use them all, lol) I just need to use my I more! Would love to win this cart, I need a new I cart, it's been awhile! Thanks!

First and bigest thing I can think to say about the Imagine is....I WANT ONE!!!! in a bad way...tyfs

Am still quite confused about the cricut imagine and its true purpose when there are so many cute papers out there.I love your cards though. I look forward to my daily emails.
I don't have the Imagine yet. But it looks like a lot of fun. I like your card...very Springy!
Love All the ways Cricut gets me inspired to bring out my creative flows!!! Everything they do ceases to amaze me!!!
Your card is adorable as most of yours are. I don't have an Image machine and so far am not completely sold on it. I think the coloring makes the images looked processed. It has to be a lot more expensive ton operate. I truly love my Expression though.
I would love to have an Imagine. It's amazing how it will print as well as cut. Love the card you made. I am a follower and look forward to receiving the e-mail daily,
I think the Imagine is a great machine and has a ton of potential with future updates!
I got my Imagine during the launch on HSN and have only just begun to use it. I have a serious paper addiction and love being able to make my own paper whenever I want. I've used it to make page lay-outs and cards, it's just so handy. Thank you for the opportunity to win a cartridge. I really enjoyed the card you made.
I'm soooo happy that my Gypsy can talk with my Imagine. Yay!
Hugs and Blessings!

Your card is so cute! I love it! Thanks you for sharing your creativity!
Now those images are really cute. I haven't looked at that Imagine cart yet and now I want it. Your card is clever too. Thanks for sharing and all that you do for us. pamelajaramillo@msn.com
I love this card, it just *sings* Spring! I am liking the advantages of the Imagine more and more each day. I just may be converted yet!
Thanks for all your great ideas!
Such a cute card..thanks for a chance to win such a great cartridge...my favorite thing about my Imagine is that I all I have to buy is white card stock...there are so many great colors and patterns to pick from. I LOVE my Imagine!!
I think the Imagine machine totally rocks! I wouldn't mind owning my own Imagine machine!!!! If I want to use an Imagine machine, I have to * borrow * my friend's machine and I hate doing that to her. As a pay back for borrowing my friend's Imagine machine and 'IF' I win this very awesome cartridge, I will give this cartridge to my friend as a THANK YOU for allowing me to borrow her Imagine machine.

I LOVE my Imagine! I just did the Gypsy/Imagine update last night and can't wait to play with it this weekend.
Your card is so cute! I love the bright cheery colors! Thanks for the chance to win this adorable cartridge!
That was very cute and I can't wait to try it on my much loved and used imagine machine.
I am a subscriber and lovelovelove yer blog. Thanks for such great info.
Okay, what do I think of the Imagine? It is over the top. I wish I had something like it to do my laundry and fold it, but PC isn't in that biz ; )
So, I am looking forward to the new E2. THAT is why I am posting here for a cart gratis! I can use it in my E2 when I get it!
Have a great one!
M...
What do I think about the Imagine? Well, at first I wasn't that impressed - I just saw $ for ink with all that printing - BUT, now that I've seen some of the projects I am coming around - right now the price is prohibitive - but what scrapper says "never"?? Thanks for the chance to win this cart.

Wow! I love this card! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the chance to win this cart!
OOPS - I left a previous comment but i don't have an Imagine so you'd better give this cart to someone else if I should win! Thanks,
jackie
I think the Imagine Machine is amazing, although, I wish it were smaller.
I think the Imagine is so easy to use and lets me quickly put together projects that coordinate. I find myself using it all the time because of that reason. I also love that it cuts beautifully!
Marta
The card you made is fab and really my type of style. I really am enjoying my Imagine and now that the Gypsy can edit Imagine carts is that much better. Do I think there are things that can be improved - you bet! The welding feature of Imagine carts can only make thing better so I am eager to get this as well. Thank you for a chance to win this cute cart.
what a cute card! would love to win!

Love your acrylic card I have seen a few of these around blogland now but not seen the acrylic's for sale anywhere. I don't have an Imagine YET but from what I have seen I love the fact you can co-ordinate so easily.

I love your card! I don't have an imagine so not much opinion on it, I would like one but not enough to spend the money. The only feature of the machine I wish I had was to fill letters with pattern. I really like using pattern paper with my E! and not enamored of printing my own patterns. But I really want the E2 so I can use some of the cute carts for the imagine!
I just found your blog and now I'm a subscriber!
Wow! I would love to win this cartridge. My Cricut Imagine machine just arrived on my doorstep today and I can't wait to dig in that box this weekend and play with my new toy. Thanks for the opportunity to win a cartridge. You are on my fav list and I check every day.
What a cute card! I can't wait for my Imagine to arrive (it should be here by next Wednesday)! Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway!

Absolutely love my Imagine, only have the 3 carts that came in the HS bundle when I purchased. This cart is only my wish list. Sorta went crazy from Black Friday thru the 1st of the year buying all of the Expression carts at such good prices so have expanded my Imagine library. Got my updates but can't get my gypsy to recognize my Imagine, have the icon on my gypsy. Took about 4/5 times to get the gypsy updated, so will try again. Love the card, great idea using the acrylic as a base. TFS Have been a follower for several months.
Gorgeous card, Joy! I absolutely love my new Imagine! So much for fun than my Expression! Now I need to buy more Imagine cartridges!
What a beautiful card! Thanks for sharing. I don't have an Imagine but definitely in my wish list! I do love my Personal Cricut (original)!

Love this clear acrylic card! I love that you can both print and cut.with the imagine which I think make it faster to put cards and LO's together more quickly!
I have the Imagine and I love it! I was just looking at picking up this cartridge the other day but it was too pricey at Jo-Anns. I'd love to win this!
That is a beautiful card, love all of the colors. The flower has such a cute expression. Will have to go and check out Emma's stamp set too!

I looooove the Card!!!!!!!!!
I love the card!!!!!!!!!Great imagination
Hi, I am very new to the Imagine. I purchased it at the HSN kickoff but only opened it one week ago. I found your videos which gave me courage to start using it. I love it and thanks to you, I'm using it. Would love to win this cart.
The Imagine machine is named perfectly, there is no stretch to what you can Imagine and create with this card. The clear acrylic makes this card AMAZING! I love the stamps Close to My Heart has and the quality shows as soon as you use one.
Thank you and fingers are cross to win.

The Imagine is really cool! I love the fact that you can use patterns, etc to customize your images. I also love the fact that you essentially will never run out of that patterned paper you love!
Cute!!! Love the idea of the Imagine. Unfortunately I am waiting on my 3rd Imagine machine to arrive, the first 2 had some major issues. Super excited to play with it though and would love to win the cart!

Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Imagine!!
Just wish I had MORE, MORE, MORE time to play!!!
Thanks for sharing your inspiring designs!!
I love that card. I wasnt sure I wanted a imagine but 1 little card changed my mind. It would be great to start collecting cartridges before I got the machine!
Love the acrylic card. So cute
What a great card! I would really love to get(win) an imagine machine. I love the fact, that you can make your own cardstock for your projects! . . . So, I would love to win a cartridge.

These are really great images. Always LOVE learning something new from you! "Imagine" if I WON? :)
I love the inspiration you send each day!
Please oh PLEASE could I be so lucky!? Darling flower and butterfly.
What great images on the cartridge. I like so many things that I have read about the Imagine. I like that you can print your own paper, and design on the machine, There are so many things I don't know, but as I said earlier what I have read about the machine, all I can say is what's not to like.
