Can you believe the shaped cards hidden away on the Cricut Summer Celebrations cartridge? Here's another fun one - the shaped firecracker card! Love this guy!
I cut it in white at 9" and then just layered it up. I used red glitter paper for the striped area and decided to cut the tip and end of the firecracker in silver glitter paper. A quick go around with the white signo uniball pen and I was set. This card will fit in a standard business sized envelope.
The inside has a stamped sentiment. A nice quick and easy card!
I've been making so many of these patriotic cards as I just joined the Daughters of the American Revolution and I want to thank the people who helped make that happen. My mom did all the tireless genealogy research - thank you, Mom! She's given my daughter and I a wonderful gift in this!

I know you've done tutorials in the past with iron-on vinyl, but I'd love to see more of those with projects using a variety of fabrics. I'm especially interested in the settings/procedure you use to actually iron the vinyl on. Thanks!

Would like to see a tutorial on layering images for cricut cuts.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute firecracker card!! I have never made anything with cricut vinyl. Would love to see a tutorial on that...last time I was one it was kind of confusing about what supplies were needed.
ReplyDeleteThat is one adorable little firecracker card!! I would love to get busy and make a couple of those to send to out of state family!! I would love to see more tutorials on layering vinyl and if you dont already have a video about making those Sweet Surprises cards that you have posted with the little sweet treat holders, I would love to see that too. I bought some a long time ago when they first came out and when they were a hot item to have and they are still in my stash!!
