"Glitter & Shine"
I wanted to share a new type of Cricut cartridge called "Events". They are in a box like the original cartridges but have only 50 cuts like the seasonal cartridges. This on is great! The name of the one I am using is called "Baby Shower" It has some really cute and cool cuts on it. You can create anything you could need to plan a baby show. You can use a lot of them and change the theme even. There are some cards, boxes and more.
The next layer is on the same page directly below the card and I cut it at <Card1Lr1> at 4 1/2 inches using the silver glitter paper from DCWV Glitter pack, next, I cut it again at 4 1/4 inches with paper from EKsuccess/Martha Stewart "Happy Birthday" pack. I layered them using foam squares. Next I cut the cupcakes and word "Party" from another page out of EKsuccess/Martha Stewart "Happy Birthday" pack and the pink glitter paper came from there also. I framed the work party using all three colors and did the same for the cupcakes. I used a corner punch for the cupcakes. I used foam squares for the cupcakes and glued them to the card.
I used foam squares for the green layer on the word "Party" and in between silver and patterned layer on the base card. This is a good example of using this "Events" cartridge for a variety of events.
I had fun trying a new cartridge and all these different papers and it gave me a chance to share something with you again. I am truly blessed to be a part of Just-a-scrappin Design Team. Thanks again

Thank you Patti, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteGreat card! Very fun. I love the colors and yes, all the glitter and shine! I like the card cut. Sometimes we, as crafters, get stuck in our ways...the standard square or rectangular card. It is nice to use the card feature on the carts. TFS!
ReplyDeleteThey sent me the cartrige for a demo at work and when I noticed the card, that was the start. then the cute scrap of paper with the cupcakes to over. I am happy you like the card. It was too fun to create.
DeleteLove it, what an amazing card and so much fun. Great for a summer party, ice cream sundae party. Might have to try and make one.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria, it was a lot of fun to create. I am so happy you liked it.
DeleteReally sweet! Love the layering.

ReplyDeleteThank you Fran, I was not a big fan of glitter paper until I experimented with this card. It is Just-a-scrappin's fault. They requested it. But now I have a new experience to thank them for. I am glad you enjoyed it.
