I finished the baby afghan I was working on and sent it off. But it needed a card to go with it.
I searched through the images on the Cricut Design space and found one I liked. And $.99 cents later I was in business.
I chose a yellow patterned paper for the envelope. I just had to remember to change the cutting depth from light card stock to paper. I also used the light grip cutting mat so the finished product would be easier to remove.
I recently visited a Hobby Lobby store and found some cutting mats at a pretty cheap price. Then I used a coupon and spent less than $4.00 a mat. I am still learning the machine and have already destroyed one. That be the cost of learning...my opinion.
A bit of cutting...the machine did that. But I slid the mat in!
A bit of gluing...my job
And a finished card.
I sealed the card with some baby stickers and off went the package.
You didn't show us a picture of the finished baby blanket! Or was the one in a previous entry the completed one, and not an illustration of what you wanted to do?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like a hand made gift and that goes for the card as well😉
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card and envelope!
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you I donated my Cricut to the Fincastle Library? I figured they would use it more than I - since I haven't used it in the 3+ years I've had it.
I'm so aggravated that I missed a card workshop in Vinton yesterday. We had plans with the grandchildren so I didn't think I could go. Then, those plans changed and I forgot about the workshop as well. Drat!
Have a good week.
