Make it in Minutes

I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards and projects that take only minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them.

A few months ago Jennifer McGuire did a post on rethinking die cuts that was amazing! I continue to rethink my Cricut cuts.

Last week I made a card using only the outline of an image. For this card I used the white house image (Folk Art House #M81C2971) that was left over from my last card. I added a sentiment that I cut from one of my dies. This card was really quick!

I love how I made three cards using a half of sheet of paper from my stash and one image. I also love how my Cricut made this project fun! Thanks Jennifer for the inspiration.

Have a wonderful day!

A few months ago, Jennifer McGuire did a post on rethinking die cuts that was amazing! I am continuing to rethink some of my Cricut cuts.

Last week, I made a card using an image that I cut out of card stock. For this card, I used my Cricut to print the sentiment on a piece of card stock and then I cut the house (Folk Art House #M81C2971) from white card stock. This time, I am only using the outline of the house. I added foam adhesive squares for dimension and backed the house with a piece of card stock from my stash. I saved the white cut out house and will be using it on my next card. I added a few inside pieces to my card for added interest. I also added a sequined heart.

I will photograph the remaining card and post it too in the coming week. I love how I made three cards using a half of sheet of paper from my stash and one image.

Have a wonderful day!

A few months ago, Jennifer McGuire did a post on rethinking die cuts that was amazing! I thought I would try rethinking some of my Cricut cuts.

I used my Cricut to print the sentiment on a piece of card stock and then I cut the house (Folk Art House #M81C2971) from paper that I had in my stash. Lastly, I glued the image to my 4.25 x 5.5 inch note card.

Stay tuned, I made this card three ways to get more use from this cute image and save paper. This was the easiest card of the three. I will photo the remaining cards and post in the coming week.

Have a wonderful day!

I purchased the Anna Griffin Fancy flourish Dies 2 kit in March and I am so happy I did. You can still purchase this die set.

For this card, I used Anna Griffin paper from my collection. I also used flowers and a sentiment from one of my Anna Griffin card sets. I cut two of the same flourish die and inlaid Anna Griffin card stock. I love this look!

Have a wonderful day!
