Cricut American Alphabet and Essentials Cute Cards

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:
