[Video]Close to My Heart Cricut Artbooking Owl Valentine Card

Whoo loves you?  I do!

Today's fast card was cut using the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge!  

Below are the cuts:

Note the below cuts use the REAL DIAL SIZE:

I also used the "hide selected contour feature" to make backgrounds for the owl and the word bubble.  Here is a video on using "Hide Selected Contour" in the Cricut Craft Room.

I love all the different frames on this cartridge - perfect for making cards.  Or for photos on a scrapbook page, of course.  And there are close to 150 of them on this cartridge!

Here is the product I used to make the card:

I am still tired from my trip to Salt Lake City, where I got to see the new Cricut Explore machine.  It was a whirlwind two days - but a lot of fun!  More info and video will be coming up over the next week.

Now, it looks like those .SVG files can be cut for free!  This is HUGE NEWS!

The new Cricut Explore machine (#explorecricut) cuts over 57 materials but the one that impressed me the most was this leather flower (can't wait to try this):
