Joy and I are planning on doing a second day of E2 Q and A because you guys had even more questions about the machine today. We have not decided When we will do it, but it will be soon. In the meantime leave your questions on yesterday's post.
Today's card is made using the NEW E2 and the pre-loaded cartridge Cricut Essentials cartridge. This cartridge is the new and improved Accent Essentials. It has lots of fun basic shapes, but also has some whimsical stuff like this flower.
![]() |
| I used Papertrey Ink paper, ribbon, and stamp. |

| I cut the flower out at3" and the leaves out at 1 1/2". The top note like cut was cut out at 3". |
Thanks for dropping by today. Make sure you check back in tomorrow to see the awesome project Joy has for you. You are going to love it!
Also don't forget to be leaving comments all week for the best chance to win the Imagine!
Have a wondrous Wednesday!

This is a beautiful card. I really love the fact that we can get so many interesting layers with the cricut and the machine does the cutting. It gives us more time for the creative side of cardmaking and scrapbooking.
Really like this card! How much time do you spend crafting everyday? To always have something to post with instructions, wow, I seem to work on the same project for at least two days before it's ready LOL!!
Great job as always
