Lori's Garden & Elegant Edges Combined


I rarely make duplicate cards, but having made a set of 9 handmade cards to give as a gift to a neighbour I included childrens cards that I was so pleased with, I felt I should remake them.

They were all made using the same dimensions from different elements on the regular Cricut cartridge Elegant Edges, and printed using papers from the Cricut Imagine Lori's Garden cartridge. The stamped images coloured with watercolour pencils and embellished with either stickles clear glitter or Rangers Glossy accents.
The card bases were cut from 12x12 cardstock, having welded 2 of the 'book' layers from the Elegant edges cartridge together. The shaped theme of each card was continued in each of the corresponding layers.
