Get Well Card

Made this card for a dear friend who is going thru a rough spell and is in the hospital.  I wanted to make her a card to cheer her up.  She loves owls, just like I do, so what better way than an "owl nurse" to get her back on her feet.   And a pink/blue one, to boot!  LOL

 Inside:-

I actually learned something, whilst making this card, and wanted to share.  Did you know that this cartridge has a silhouette feature?  

I’ve always known a silhouette to be an image of a person, an object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black.  Like this:-

Well, when I cut out the silhouette image, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was just a black outline.  Like this:-

When placed on the blackout image, it was really easy to insert the layers ---- just like a puzzle.

Can’t wait to play w/ the other images on this cartridge, using the silhouette feature.  J

Card for Angel's Momma

Made this card for a friend whose li’l Chihuahua has a broken leg, because it was attacked by two larger dogs. The dogs’ owner didn’t even apologize or help my friend w/ her li’l pooch. The nerve of some people!!
Inside:

Oooops, I stickled "hugs" after I took the picture. :-)

Because I don’t have the “Four Legged Friends” cartridge, I had to improvise. I utilized my Cricut Design Studio, got the design/layers for the li’l Chihuahua; copied/pasted them and then cut out the design/layers with, you ready for it??? ----- scissors. Yeppers! --- the cutter prior to the Cricut. :-) Even tho it wasn’t a REAL troublesome design, I still really missed my Cricut cutting it out for me. And now that cart. is definitely on my “wish list”. :-)

Li’l Angel has a white spot on her forehead that looks just like a heart, so I had to put a heart on the li’l pooch. She also has a pink cast, so that’s why her hind leg is pink. She must love pink because she has this beautiful pink bed to rest her li’l body; hence, the pink pillow.

Get Well card --- band-aid

My dear sweet hubby just had surgery, so I haven’t been doin’ much bloggin’. However, I wanted to share a card I made for him.

Firstly, I got him a Pooh Bear balloon (as he’s my “Pooh Bear”), which is holding a “Get Well Soon” balloon. The get well balloon has band-aids all over it, so it was very apropos for me to make him the “Band-aid” card, from the Wild Card Cricut cartridge. He loved everything.

I used my Cricut Imagine for the whole card. Man, was that ever neat --- first not having to search for the right paper and then adding the different patterns/colours to the mat.

I chose the patterns/colours from the Imagine More cartridge. So happy that was the one that came w/ my machine. :-) Here’s the card:-

Inside:-

1. Cricut Imagine Cartridge – Imagine More
2. Cricut Cartridges – see below
3. Cuttlebug folder – Swiss Dots
4. Glue – regular; ATG
5. Cardstock - white
6. Corner rounder – Corner Stone by EK Success
7. Cricut Cartridges:
8. Wild Card – band-aid, Rx, gauze
9. Paper Lace – Get Well Soon sentiment – Lace 1

The band-aid card is on p. 65 of the Wild Card handbook. I used the following:-

1. Band-aid
2. Liner – for the gauze part --- cuttlebugged w/ the Swiss Dots folder
3. Icon – for the RX (twice)

Because I had previously made colour swatches from each Imagine cartridge, it was really easy to choose the patterns and colours I wanted. I chose the Imagine More cart, for its vibrant colours.

I used the sentiment from the Paper Lace cartridge. I just love how one can use the older Cricut carts. in the Imagine, floodfilling patterns/colours, to one’s heart’s content. I used the corner rounder on it.

Here’s what a couple of my swatches look like.

The arrow is pointing to the patterned and solid coloured designs I chose. I think it just screams “band-aid”. Don’t you agree? :-)
