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. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.

If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!


Here's my card:



To make this card, I first used my Cricut Expression to cut the three leaves from white. card stock.  Then I blended Distress Oxide Inks onto the leaves and sprayed them with water.  I embossed the green layering mat before gluing the leaves to it.  I stamped my sentiment, cut it out, and finally added some sequins.

Distress Inks:  Spiced Marmalade, Gathered Twigs, Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber

613 Avenue Create#215-Anything Goes-Option Christmas/Winter

At 613 Avenue Create this month our Anything Goes Challenge has the optional twist of Christmas/Winter.  I made a winter card:



I used snow flakes from various stamp sets from Close to My Heart and Stampin' Up. I used Versamark Ink to stamp the snow flakes and sentiment on white card stock.  After sprinkling on white embossing powder, I heat embossed the image.  Then I blended two shades of Distress Oxide Inks onto the panel, before attaching it to a blue card base.  I embossed the sentiment on blue card stock and glued it down.
