Here's a sweet little card I whipped up in just a matter of hours (gotcha--you thought I'd say minutes) for an elderly woman celebrating her birthday. I love this color combination and was really happy with the way the cameo and frame from Heritage turned out. The scor-bug made for a great background. My problem was that annoying, uncooperative little swirly corner cut. OMGosh! I'm sure I spent at least an hour or more trying to get just one decent cut! I tried every thickness of paper with every speed and depth combination on my cricut. I replaced the needle, I re-stickied my mat. I blessed the machine and I cursed it. It just does not like this cut. I wasted so much time and paper on that corner and developed a few new wrinkles and gray hairs because of it! So I had to make due with the best I could get. Thank goodness for pretty Primas! Thanks for taking a peek!
Oh Ramona, this is gorgeous hun! I love the elegant and soft colors you used. A perfect card for an elderly woman. Don't you hope we can receive such a beautiful card when we reach the ripe old age? Lol, I adore everything about this one including the flourish which gave you gray hairs....LOL, Love It!

You made a beautiful card. Did you ever try to multicut the funtion? I found the same problem with some of the intricate cuts on Love Struck. Once I cut the image twice in the same place it came out like butter. Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow wow wow, what a beautiful card! I opened your blog and actually shouted Oh wow to my screen hahahaha!!
ReplyDeleteAhyes, precious cricut does not always do what we want :( My problem often seems to be that cricut decides to tear the paper in iffy little bits instead of cutting it.
OMG!!! Gorgeous! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how you did the background! I have those scorebugs... somewhere. The cameo is just beautiful! The swirly corner cut looks beautiful! Never would have know it was misbehaving!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! I so understand your frustration with certain cricut cuts. I yelled at my poor bug one day but in the end, I ended up with the cut I needed.
ReplyDeleteOh this is just to beautiful... you are so darn creative.
