OK, I know I keep promising videos but instead, I keep making things....With Hello Thursday galloping towards us, it may be end of week before I get going on the videos. There are some great things coming out this Hello Thursday so it will be worth the wait!
Using the new Cricut Anniversary Expression 2's pre-loaded cartridges, I made these two cards.
This first card was made using the
Cricut American Alphabet cartridge. This cartridge not only has three great fonts, it also has pre-made, layered word art and images.
I cut this present at 5", all layers. I cut another shadowed layer in white and created my own faux welded card by scoring the white layer and just gluing above the line. It's a simple, quick way to make a shaped card.
The "for you" was cut at 1-1/2" and pop dotted up on the card. Paper is by Stampin Up!
Next, this quick, graphic 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" card was made using the
Cricut Essentials cartridge which is also preloaded onto the Cricut Anniversary Expression 2 machine. I cut the three layered flowery squares at 1-3/4". The "hi" was cut from the
Cricut American Alphabet cartridge at 1". I embossed the background white using the Cuttlebug and the large folder from the Preserves Cuttlebug set. Paper was by Core'dinations.
I've got a different fun project and video also up on
Everyday Cricut - below is a sneak peek of it using the new
Cricut Decals and American Alphabet cartridges:

The embossing is a really cute addition to this card!
These are all great!
Great cards! Love the ideas!
I really like the cards that you made. Thanks for sharing!
Great cards....LOVE the 1st one!!! I'm a little confused about the white shadow cut...does that mean that you cut a "reg" card base from white cardstock & then glued the shaped piece (gift, etc) on top of that??? I haven't attempted any shaped cards yet so maybe I'm just not understanding how they're made :(
Those are totally cute. I love them. Hugs- Glora
Super Awesome cards! I love them!! Can't wait to see the launch of the E2.
