Mix and Match

Create a project using at least 3 patterned papers

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

One of my favorite brands of paper comes from Crate Paper -- I love this Farmhouse Collection line...And using three patterns from the same line means everything matches -- so it is easy to take a risk and use patterned paper with your cricut. Also, I used Creative Cards cricut cartridge. Here's my tip -- the size dial should be on 5.5 for an A2 standard sized card -- and my border cut did need to be trimmed to fit the card. This is how the card looks flat:

Day at the Beach

Create a project related to the beach

Here is my project for this week: 

I made this card for my son's teacher to give at the End-of-Year party. She is one of the great ones -- always advocating for him in PPTs, pushing him to reach high academic expectations while cutting him some slack when needed. 

For this card, I used: 

• Cricut carts: H20 for the fancy girl embellished with Gellyroll pen in clear; "Happy Summer" from Summer Celebrations.
• American Crafts shoreline patterned paper and rosette flower embellishment. 
• Photo patterned paper is from a paper pack that I picked up a few years ago while vacationing in Cape Cod. Yes, I shop on vacation. Couldn't help myself after taking the boys to candy shoppe -- was surrounded by major box craft stores -- that is my candy!
