You Mean The World To Me!

Hello Everyone- This is Summer from Cricut Diaries again. This week all the Dt Ladies were asked to make a Tri Shutter card. I want to apologize for my super short post today, for some reason each time I added new photos they would be going the wrong directions! So frustrating. Also this tri-shutter card is kinda hard to describe in words, I would the most help my searching YouTube! I found some great videos that made this so fun and super easy.

You Will Need :

*White, Pink and Blue card stock

*1 sheet double sided card stock (mine was "Fun in the Sun" by Kaiser scrapbook.

*Imagine Cartridge Better Together

*White Gel Pen

*Stickles

*Pop Dots

*I used the MS score board

Like I said the best way to understand this type of fold is to check out a video. I can say that my pink card stock was cut to 5.5X12, the blue and pattern card stock were all layered 1/16th of an inch at a time.

I used my Imagine to cut out the phrase and scalloped circles for the front of my card (it was cut at 2 inches with layers) and the 3 flowers that I used to decorate some of the small boxes (all 3 were cut at 1.5). I used a white gel pen to "dot" all along the blue card stock layer. And added stickles to the rickrack and to some of the flowers. Hope you enjoy my Tri-Shutter and next time I will have more pics for you all!

Imagine Autumn Splendor!

Thinking about fall... The colors are so beautiful everywhere, the leaves are falling from the trees and it's getting colder!!! I wanted to use my Imagine for this card but didn't know exactly how... Then I thought of the tree! Perfect!! I used the layer option and chose not to cut the flowers or the birds.


This card can be used for anything!! Birthday, anniversary, get well, etc...

After making the tree card, I had paper leftover... So, I started playing with the strips of paper, placing them different places and then a pattern appeared!! I loved how it came out!

Carissa!  Sending love your way... This card will soon be on the way to a certain blogger that is in need of uplifting as well!! The Imagine is so awesome!! This card was fun and super easy!! I use the rectangle from the French Manor cartridge often to flood fill either a pattern or solid color! I saw the outline of the Hello Cupcake image and just new it would be perfect behind the sentiment!! Love it!!!
