It's the most fun day of the month - Hello Thursday - the day Provocraft releases new Cricut cartridges!
Later today, on our personal blogs, Melanie and I will have loads of projects to show you using the new Cricut cartridges, as well as fun giveaways!
Melanie has called this "her favorite release of this year" and it is, without a doubt, mine also. So, don't finalize that Christmas list until you've seen all the new cartridges - I think you will be pleased (wallet and husband, probably, not so much...).
Onto today's quick 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card using the Cricut Lite Celebrate with Flourish cartridge (only available at cricut.com and Walmart stores/online).
I love this cartridge - every image is elegant and swirly! But, with those swirls sometimes comes frustration in getting the paper to cut right so I have got a tip to make your cuts go nice and smoothly.
I cut the ornament at 3". The secret to getting great cuts with this cartridge lies in the settings. I put my blade at 4, speed at 1 and pressure at 3 - and then did a multi-cut of 2. I made sure my mat was sticky and blade wasn't too old. Perfect cut!
Paper is by Stampin Up!. Ribbon and stamp by Papertrey Ink.
We will be waiting today to get the go ahead to show you the new Cricut cartridges so keep checking back at Joy's and Melanie's personal blogs at Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Courtney Lane Designs!
Have a great day!

I really like this card & all the polka dots! Very cute!
a very beautiful card - the bauble is stunning!
Every single time I go to Wal-Mart, I pick up the Celebrate with Flourish cart, but put it back. It's on my wish-list, but I think I might have to get it Friday.
Beautiful card! That's one cart I don't have--it's on my list. Can't wait for the Hello Thursday projects!
Super cute.
Love the card and thanks for the advice.
Awesome card Joy, your choice, once again, of colors and papers is fantastic...thanks always for important information it makes Cricut crafting so much easier..I love this cartridge can't believe it was only $20.00 at WalMart

I need to correct my statement re: this cartridge...not $20.00 it was $40.00..had a cartridge brain freeze...I was thinking about the new Christmas cartridge that came out at Thanksgiving...oops.

I love the card. Everything works so well together.
Great card- love the ornament. Think I need this cart just wish it was easier our "super" Walmart is clearing out their crafts. I don't get why they would want to be so involved with Cricut as to have absolute distribution of a cart and then pull crafts out of their stores. But I do love a number of the carts.
gorgeous! love the new cartridge!

This is really cute!
Such a pretty card. Thanks so much for the tips on cutting those swirly designs.

Gorgeous card!! I love it!!
What a gorgeous card! The ornament is just beautiful!
What a pretty card! Thanks for sharing the Cricut settings as well; it will probably save some time and frustration for your readers!
The papers that you picked complement the card so well. I love how you put it all together.
I have the Celebrate with Flourish cartridge also, and I've had trouble with it because I have tended to cut it too small, and then it tears the paper, or the pieces just don't fit right. However, the Christmas light is beautiful! I got good results with a 2" "The Luck 'O the Irish" on a special page I did. Thanks for the tip on cutting.
Beautiful card! I just got Celebrate with Flourish and I'm anxious to try it out. Thanks for the tips on cutting with that cart.
Kathryn
Super wonderful card as usual...I notice you use a lot of Stampin Up paper...how come they don't look that great when I'm at a SU party??? Guess it's the artist's eye!!! Great job!!!
