A Wedding Card & A Smile Card

This first card I made using Wanda's free Scroll card SVG. I cut it out and then decided that I wanted to use just the scroll work, so I cut off the rest of it and glued it to the front of a white card. It cut out just beautifully!

Then I wasn't sure what to put in the center, but I found this tag that said "From This day Forward". It was actually a pretty design on a wedding gift bag that I pulled off to keep. I thought I could use it on something eventually and I'm so glad I saved it! It fits perfectly!
Here is another card that I threw together this afternoon. I know it looks like I did more work than throwing it together, but really I already had the blue paper embroidered with flowers. Remember my post a few months back? I created this design to cut tiny holes on my cricut and then just ran thread through the holes. This design is available in my store for just $3.00!

Anyways, so I found this laying somewhere on my craft desk and decided to finally whip a card out of it!

A Bonus Freebie from LSS & A New Use for Your Cricut!

Apparently our mistake makes this your lucky day! We thought we'd give out all the DT freebies, but there's still one more! So browse the DT's blogs below to find it!

This week I decided to finally use this beautiful Flourished Dragonfly stamp that I've been admiring ever since Lindsay created it. It is just stunning! I decided that I loved the black and white as is, so I just gave the dragonfly himself a little color and sparkle. He's coated in glitter and sparkle.
Don't forget to check out the links below to see who has the freebie this week!
----On to the New Use for Your Cricut!------
Do you see those stitched designs in the corners of this scrapbook LO? I did those with my circut! Don't believe me? Well this is how it works... You simply use the cricut to cut out the tiny holes just like you would any other svg. It is completely re-sizeable (just don't forget to choose "keep proportions". Then after the Cricut is finished, you have an embroidery template design and you may use a needle and some floss to fill complete the stitching. So easy a caveman could do it!
In case you'd like to try this technique I'm putting the three designs below in my store. Want to try before you buy? Check out the freebie Circle LO that I posted yesterday.
Another thing I might add, these are great to cut on on your cricut and then save for later. That way when your husband wants you to "spend time" with him, (for my husband that means watch tv w/him) you can sit and do the stitching then!

3 Flowers Template-- $3.00

This one would look great on a card! I plan to turn this one into a card when I get the time.
