Wild Card 2 Video Series #2: Whale Card

Here is the Wild Card 2 Video tutorial for card #2: Whale Card found on p. 23. I cut this using 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock at 5 1/2".  The phrase and Phrase layer were cut at 1 3/4".
There is a little trick to this card in all of the whale layers and how it is assembled.



Thanks for watching.

Wild Card 2 Video Series #1: Rainbow Card

Hi blogging friends. I have decided after finishing Wild Card, that I wanted to do another Cartridge Series. I have decided to do the Wild Card 2 Cricut Cartridge as a Video Tutorial. I have made a select few cards from this cartridge but am still learning as I go as this cartridge is different than the original Wild Card. So I will be learning along beside all of you.
So here is the first Video in this Series. I am starting at the beginning with Card #1, the Rainbow card.

Cut It Up Challenge #19: Make It Mini

Today we have a great challenge for you over at Cut It Up. Your challenge is to Make It Mini-anything small....Note cards, mini album, magnets, whatever!  Remember you must use a die cut somewhere on your project.
My kids are CONSTANTLY taking my fridge magnets and I have no idea where they hide them.  So I involved them in this project.  Here's what we ALL came up with.

I put the magnet sheets in my Cricut and used the Multi cut feature.  I got the sheets at our local Dollarstore ages ago and they were sitting there collecting dust, so no time like the present.

This challenge starts today, May 17th, and ends May 29th, 2013 at Noon, EST.

Materials Used:
*Boys Will Be Boys Cricut Cartridge
*Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge
*Magnet Sheets (2)
*All paper from my scraps
*stickles for various magnets

Wild Card Series #50: Envelopes

And finally......the last post of the Wild Card Series.  In this post, I put together the two envelopes on p. 81 of the manual.
Envelope 1 is cut at 6 1/4".  This does have a liner but I didn't put it in this time.

The finished size of the yellow envelope (envelope 1) is 5"

Envelope 2 is cut at 5 1/4" using fit to page feature on a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock.  The finished size of the  pink envelope (envelope 2) is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I tried to fit a A2 size card in but it is extremely snug and it would bend your card, so I think the card would have to be trimmed slightly.

Thanks for tuning in for my Wild Card series.  If you have any questions, please feel free to comment or send me an email!  And happy crafting...

Wild Card Series #48: Shower

The final card in the Wild Card Series.  Next I will put together the 2 boxes and envelopes.
The shower card can be found on p. 79 of the manual and was cut at 8" using 12 x 12 cardstock.  It is a little large for me so I'm sure an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock and Fit To Page feature would be really nice.
I added a small sheet of white cardstock behind the card image to really make it pop.
Here it is.

Materials Used:

*Wild Card Cricut Cartridge (p. 79) cut at 8"

*cardstock by Recollections

*Patterned paper by Colorbox
