Andrea is moving house shortly, so I made her this new home card. I made the new home template using the cricut design studio and storybook cartridge. I was quite pleased with it as it was my first attempt. I used the design as a mask on the front of the card using peeled paint distress ink, and then topped it up with spiced marmalade. Added a strip of card and paper and a bit of ribbon. Added a layered flower and finally mounted the piece I'd cut and been using as a mask and stapled another piece of ribbon and added a couple of tiny flowers. Oh and last but not least, I used my PINK Zutter corner rounder to round off the edges. And I must thank Hilda for reminding me that I had one!!!!

That's excellent and great that you can fix it to the computer and do your own thing.
I love how you made the masks. I did try cutting some with my Robo but without success but that might have been me rather than the machine!
xxxxxxxxxx
Andrea will love it 'cause its great. love all the details and layers. Maybe there is more to cricut than meets the eye :)
loving the work especially those lovely corners using the PINK Zutter corner rounder.

Cool card Sam! Hands are much better now thanks! xxx
Great card. Great idea using the words as a mask. Works well.
The masking has worked really well Sam, great card, she'll love it! Oh and did you know the BIA is now pink, thought you might want to trade your blue on in for a PINK one, (not).
