WOW! This was one of the easiest cards I have ever made! I used the new Cricut Imagine Machine and cut out the bird, branch, frame with scallopy edges and blue background at 4". It took about 3 minutes! Card ends up sized at 4-1/4" x 6".
I added some pen marks on the bird and branch. The stitching on the frame printed out on the image. Then I popdotted the bird. I also inked edges throughout.
I added the rest of the sentiment to the inside:
Stamp sentiment is from Darcie's Stamps and cardstock is from Core'dinations. Ribbon and button from Papertrey Ink.
Below is a video showing how we made this using the new Cricut Imagine Machine!

Love the card. The machine makes it so much easier to coordiante colors and papers. Good Job!!!

I'm counting down the days until the Imagine's worldwide release. I can hardly wait to get my hands on one of my very own. The last time I was this giddy about a new craft machine was when I bought my E!
TFS! :o)

Very cute! That really was fast. TFS!
Adorbale card! I LOVED watching the video! How amazing is that!! Quick 5 minute card ~ no stressing over paper choices (the hardest part for me!) And how much is that ink???? Thanks for sharing!

Very cute! I'm glad you are having so much fun with the new imagine.
Cute and colorful card!
Love the imagine! The card is so cute! thanks for sharing with us.
I just love these colors together! Awesome card.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
What a sweet card! I love the colour and pattern combinations.
The imagine is so fascinating! I'm lovin' it so far. Thanks.
Oh boy! A new Cricut toy you guys can play with! (Green monster is taking over. I am still trying to figure out how to get the Cake :) That little bird is just adorable! Love the colors. Great job!
OH MY GOSH...how cool is that!!! I'm trying to tell myself I don't "really NEED" the Imagine but it's not working! I have to have one. So Excited :)))
*Question...do you have to use a full sheet of paper with the Imagine or can you use smaller pieces?*
I love the Imagine! I have one question. Let's say you are out of ink. Will your machine still cut shapes on pattern paper?
WOW! Love it! I have a soft spot for bird items ....
Very cute! the outlining really looks nice.
Sandra
gosh is that so pretty!
Crud! I keep convincing myself that I don't need this new awesome machine. You guys are just going to be unconvincing me, aren't you!? Love this card!!!

very cute card! I love the little bird. The imagine looks like it would be a lot of fun.
Cute card! The Cricut Imagine looks pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for showing us how this wonderful machine works. The card is adorable. I can't feature myself doing a card in just one layer, so this is much more appealing to me.

You put together an awesome card - in NO TIME FLAT. TFS!
I don't think I can be convinced to buy an Imagine, but is a super duper cute card!

Thanks for sharing.
This is adorable! But I do not want to be tempted by the Imagine....
I wasn't so sure about this, but OH MY GOD, now I have to have it. What an absolutely adorable card, and awesome machine.

Thank you for the videos! I have to say I was very excited before hitting the button to start today's video. The card is very cute and I can't wait to start creating with my Imagine (but I'll have to be patient a little while longer) I will live vicariously through you two talented ladies while I wait for my Imagine to arrive! Thank you for sharing! PS If that's the aftermath...its not bad! =~D
Wow! How cool is that and the colors are wonderful. I love the card you picked to demonstrate also. Thanks so much. Now, could you send me the money so I can get one of these? LOL.
very cute! Love that it was simple too :)
Wow! What a neat machine and I love this card, TFS, Mary M
That is so pretty!! I know I am going to want an Imagine after you all show me stuff for a week. I just can't justify it though, since I just got an Expression a few months ago :(
Wow- that Imagine is amazing! What will they think of next?? Thanks for the video.
SOOOO cute! Love the little bird!

the card is adorable, i like the ribbon and all the dotted lines to it.
Lovely card ladies! I'm really looking forward to all your creations. I think I'm still in the 20th century... I'll probably never move into the 21st! lol But I do enjoy your videos!
great card but Question.....what type of 12x12 white paper is it that came with the machine?
Cute card. The machine looks interesting but beyond my budget.
The more I see and hear about the Imagine, the more I want to get it too!
At first I didn't think I wanted the Gypsy, but I got it and love it!
LOVE it!! Looks like so much fun!

Love the card, so excited to see the new machine in action. I'm still on the fence about it, don't have a whole lotta room for it and the price of the inks still frighten me, lol!
Very nice. I am loving the Cricut Imagine!
Looks good.
Love your card and all your ideas.
I shouldn't be watching these videos I keep telling myself NO NO NO. I cannot afford this right now but it is sure cool.
The "Little Birdie Told Me" is a sweet card. Your color scheme is a fun one.
Wow! What a fun tool. Thanks for the video showing how easy the Imagine is to use.
that machine is so amazing! I can't wait to see what all you make withit. But, I do have to say, it is really going to make me want one and I really don't have the money for one!!
Awesome card. Have fun with your Imagine
Susan

That's so COOL!
You two are such enablers!!! I didn't want this machine, but........
That card is so cute!!
Linda A
Super cute card!
Adorably perfect!
Cute card! Question: Do the carts for the Imagine work in the other machines?
I am new to Cricut and am waiting for my DS then I see this post with video instructions on the Imagine! Which I have to watch to see how you made your darling card in just 3 minutes. Thanks for the inspiration and enabeling post :)
AWESOME!!! I am so excited I wish I could play with one too.
Question so how about if we have the patterned paper already I am guessing we would have to use only white all the time. We would not be able to cut the bird out of a patterned paper I already had?
Thank you!
-christine
How neat is that! Can't wait to see more project done with this new machine! Very cute card. TFS the videos.

Love it glad to see what the cricut imagine can do!
Nice bright colors.
This is such a cute Birdie card; and I watched the process using the Imagine video. I dunno, maybe I will have to use my Lipsticked Pig bank money for an Imagine, once I get enough saved. Thanks.
Nice card. Not enough to make me want to jump at the Imagine. Way too expensive.
OH MY GOSH... I'm SO jealous! I really want a Cricut Imagine. I have a BIG birthday coming up in November... I'm hoping my family decides that I deserve an Imagine!! :)
I love the concept but the price is way beyond my budget. Your card is great and thanks for the video!
Wow! I would never have guessed how fast and easy it was to complete this beautifully detailed and coordinated card. The Cricut Imagine is almost too good to be true. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my, you and Provo craft are going to bankrupt me!
I love it!!
Linda
What a sweet card! I love how the little bird pops off the card!
Great informative video!!! Love the card too!!!
Great card! Love the colors!
What a great card, love the videos that go with it. What great colors too.
Carie Ledbetter
Wow I'm thrilled to see it at work from start to finish. Thanks for showing us. Would this be more of an "addition" to using the Expression or would it be a total replacement? I don't think I would want to part with my Big Bug, but would love another awesome tool and option like this luxury.
Wow, that looks so easy! Thanks.
Very cute card! The bird is very adorable.
Wow. Can't wait to hear how long that ink lasts.
I can't wait for the awsome projects that we will see with the Imagine! Thanks for sharing the videos with us!
mamamulescraps at yahoo dot com
Oh, who wouldn't love that lil birdie...and I just love the colors and how red can be such a great inpact for a punch of color..my favorite to use...
So cool! Thanks for sharing all this with us
This is cute, but I don't know if the images on the Imagine are quite my style. I think I'll wait to see what other carts can do. Thanks for the great video!
~Rachel in Sacramento
Very cute :0)

Cute! Birdies are always a winner!
Cute card made with a cool new toy. Thanks for sharing the Imagine with us. It allows us to live through you ladies.
Oh Melanie and Joy that is so cool! Can't wait until the roll out my DH is saying you must have LOL and I agree TFS Debbie :)
I love this little Birdy and I love all your gifts on this site!
Super cute card!!

Love this! I really like how you popped out the birdie! Thanks!
Love the card.
Cute! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing this sweet project...been so looking forward to the Imagine's release and now I know what project is first on my list when I get my hands on this new gadget :)
So cute! Thanks for sharing!
The card is cute, but the Imagine took most of the fun out of the creating for me. I would feel like Provo designed the card, not me. I love my paper and hunt for the perfect color, stamps, patterns and ink. I will say chances are very slim that I will ever puchase this machine. I love the adventure of designing too much.
This is so cute!
love this. I said it would be a long time before I got one but every time I see it I want it more. I do have a question. If you wanted to use pattern paper, could you? Or do you have to use white and let it do the coloring? Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more projects in the future.
I love this machine, wish I could afford it. Love your bird card too adorable! Thanks for the chance to win. don't have the haunting cart but it's on my list would really be too cool to win one!

Love learning new things! THANX!
Stop tempting me so much! I already want an imagine...my wallet, however, is screaming NO at me. Will have to wait and save. Maybe I will win the lottery, oh yeah I have to start playing the lottery :)
