Life's A Beach Cart - Surf's Up Card


I used the "Square Card" feature, then selected the surfboard. I cut this at 5.25", and pressed the "Fit to page" button. To layer the surfboard, I pushed the "Layers" feature, and cut the surfboard twice: once using yellow paper, once using dark brown paper. I cut the surfboard at 3.75". To make a liner for the card, I cut one 4.75" x 9.75" rectangle using Sure Cuts a Lot, then adhered it to the inner part of the card.
I cut "Surf's Up" using the "Title Words" feature; I used the 2.25" setting.
After I glued everything together, I lightly chalked all edges to add dimension.
I purchased a square envelope template from http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=27. It was a great deal for $1.99 and saved me from figuring this out myself. I cut the envelope per the directions she provides when you purchase the SVG.
Light brown and blue papers are from Club Scrap's "Fossils" kit (2004); yellow and dark brown are scraps I had.
This will be a birthday card for my brother-in-law, who's a big surfer.

Cricut Wildcard Cart - Scallop card


My first card with Wildcard Cartridge - it's the Scallop card on page 32 of the Wild Card booklet. I cut this at 3.5" (slightly smaller than the envelope.) The cardstock is from Michael's and the ribbon is Club Scrap. I cut the dog using the Paper Pups Cricut cartridge. "With Sympathy" is also from Wildcard Cartridge.

Cancun Layout


Recent layout of a 1991 trip to Cancun. I used Club Scrap papers, and utilized their "Assembly Line Scrapbooking" technique.

Wedding Card


I made this card for my friends Kelly and Curtis during Kelly's bridal shower. I used Basic Grey paper and Bazzill cardstock. The wedding dress stamp is from Michael's. I used Versamark to stamp it, then used diamond embossing powder to finish it.
