Today's 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" card was made using SEI's gorgeous Christmas paper called Christmas Mint (currently 30% off) and a skate cut from the new Trim the Tree Cricut mini cartridge.
I cut the skate at 4" using DCWV glitter paper. I made sure to use a brand new mat and a new blade. Then, I cut the image twice (multi-cut) with the blade at 5, speed at 2 and pressure at 4. I didn't have any tearing or difficulty by doing it this way.
I just added a strip of paper to the inside for a little finish. My stamp is from Papertrey Ink. Punch is from SU!
Provocraft released 7 new Cricut cartridges yesterday so be sure and check out Joy's and Melanie's personal blogs for more projects and samples with the new cartridges at Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Courtney Lane Designs!
