cricut cards

Hey! Happy Tuesday. :) Today my new Cricut Expression is being delivered - YAY! In honor of that, I thought I'd post something I made waaaay back during my hiatus. Super quick and simple here, as most of the work was done with my Cricut machine. (Still have that guy for sale - including a BRAND NEW Plantin Schoolbook cart with it - ready to DEAL!) The only stamping was the sentiment(s):



The leaf silhouette image was cut out of black card stock and the mat behind that was cut out of turquoise card stock - both shapes are from the Storybook cartridge... LOVE that cartridge! Amazingly beautiful images and shapes on that cart. :) The image looks a little blurry because of the dimension... the leaves aren't glued down in all areas, resulting in shadows when I took the pic, sorry. It came together so quickly, and I loved how it turned out so much, that I decided to make a bunch more to either have on hand, or give away as a coordinated set:



I used a bunch of different colored card stocks for the mats - colors that I don't usually use on my paper projects because they're just... not quite my style. LOL This is a great way to use up those colors that come in multi-packs that you're not particularly fond of, or it's a great way to help use up your scraps. The sentiments were stamped very quickly and easily with black ink. If you're interested in a certain sentiment, just ask! :)

Anyway, back to impatiently waiting for the delivery man. ;) Thanks for reading and have a lovely day!

SUPPLIES: cards stocks - various, stamps - Hero Arts and SU!, Cricut Storybook cart, pop dots
