It's a Spring Thing - Exploring Cricut

Happy Monday everyone!!  It is challenge day over at Exploring Cricut.  We have a great challenge for you today! We are creating projects with at LEAST 1 button, 2 cricut cuts and 3 patterned papers or cardstock colors.  Here is what I came up with:



I made a fun shape card.  The base of the card is the flower pot and it's shadow.  It is from Walk in My Garden.  I took the shadow, duplicated and welded it on my Gypsy Girl to create the card.  I then layered the pot on top of the shadow.  I just put glue around the edges so the flower layer could slide in and out.  

I cut a rectangle out of George and Basic Shapes to put all my daisies on.  The daisies are also from Walk in my Garden.  I inked the edges of my pot and flowers with some Tea Dye Distress Ink.  The button is from Walmart and the twine is from Doodle Bug Designs.  The amazing sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps "Think Spring".  You can buy your own set HERE.




Be sure to swing by Exploring Cricut and play along with us, you could win a great prize!  I can't wait to see what you find on your cartridges to inspire us.  Don't forget that there are new projects to inspire you every day on the blog, created by our amazing and talented Design Team.  I always love seeing what they create.

Avenue 613 - spring fever
Scrappy Frogs - think spring

Broken Box Stock - think spring
