«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 245 Newer› Newest»I really like the look of this cartridge. Sweet card!
Wow - what a cool looking card. Definitely looks like something Mom knitted!!!! Great job & thanks for showing the cart!
Beautiful. I love the knitted look the embossing folder gives.
I love the card. I have not started my holiday cards yet. The project starts tomorrow. This is a yearly product with my granddaughters. This is our first year with the cricut. We are all pretty excited
As always, your card is simple and elegant. Altho I don't have this cart, it would be easy to substitute other images to create a lovely card. Thanks for the inspiration.
You do great work. I have just received my first cricut mini machine, so everything you do is way above my level. I hope to learn some great stuff from your blog. Thanks.
I haven't even started as I have been working on a scrapbook as a birthday gift which I will have done by next week and then I will start. Have to look through Christmas bin as I know I had a lot left from last year so may use them. LOL

I love this card! I have finished all of mine, but I may try to make one similar to yours anyway. comopark@roadrunner.com
I really like this card. I can't say I was too excited about this cartridge but with the textured background it looks really neat.
Cricut never ceases to amaze me with their new cartridges.
Like the knitted look of this card.
No, I have not started making Christmas cards yet.
cute card. i like the cross stitch look. tfs.
This card is very vintage looking.
I have this embossing folder and love, love, love it.
I have been looking at the handyman cart as my hubby has a two car garage filled with woodworking tools. Thanks for the chance to win it!
I am still in the process of making my cards. But I have quite a few made and will probably continue after Christmas for next year
Cute card. Love this cartridge! Thanks.
It's funny how I see a cart that does not appeal to me and then you design something from it and then I change my opinion. Great card! Thank you for sharing!
I love how the cuttlebug made it look like it has been cross stitched - very cool!
Gorgeous card, Joy! That texture is just perfect with Sweater Weather!
First time I have seen this cartridge. Adorable!
Such a sweet card! Love the rustic, homey feel to it...just perfect for this cold morning in NJ!
Such a cute and simple card!

Great card! Your choice of embossing folder is just perfect for the knitted look!
I'm almost finished my Christmas card creations. I've made lots already (as I love to send Christmas cards)! I just have the cards for teachers, helpers, etc. to make.
Finished my holiday cardmaking??? Are you kidding?? I have barely gotten started! AAAAAAHH....it's December already!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I better get to work. :D Thanks for sharing the card. I think I really like this cartridge and I LOVE the embossing you did on it. So pretty! :D
Love this card! Every year I promise myself that I will get cards done early and out in the mail. Sadly, I have yet to find the time to get them done, or even pick out which cartridge to use on them! I still have 23 days to get them out :)
So sweet and simple! I love getting my daily dose of inspiration from you ladies - i look forward to your email every day.
Love getting your e-mails every day! I like this card, but so many of the cartridges I can't seem to find in Canada.
Love the fabric look. My cards are started--just in pieces in an assembly line.
Great card. And there are some neat images on this cart. Thanks
Love the sweater-y embossing on this card - so cool! :)
I love this card! I have this cartridge and love it. I think I will need to get that embossing folder as it really makes the card looked knitted.
Nice card! Thanks for sharing your ideas and talents with us.

Great card. I am busy in my card workshop building cards for Christmas. I have lots of ideas but am still looking! Also...thanks for the opportunity to win the "Handyman" cartridge. My husband is just that and it would be great for my cards to him.
This cartridge looks like a good one to have for Christmas. TFS
This is a really cute card. Love the knitted look.
Nice looking card. Very different!
I am not done with my cards. I had a xmas in June with friends to get holiday things done and I ended up helping all of them and got nothing done myself. Then I picked out a card and didn't like it made up and now I am up every night glueing new ones together. It is fun but next year I will be ready....
Love the cartridge. All my christmas cards are still sending on my desk to be done. Hoping this weekend to get them out.
I love the look of knit or cloth fabric on the card! The cartridge used is very tempting.
Sweater weather is coming soon and your card is so appropriate! So cool!
I love that you used the embossing folder to really make the paper fit the design of the die cut! Perfect card for this time of year! Thank you for sharing with us!!
so cute. I love the embossing!
I like the embossing folder you used - just perfect for that cartridge! I have started my cards - 50 the same - but they are labor intensive... I am doing them assembly line style, so none are actually finished but many of the steps are done. I need to hurry!
I love this card. Thanks for the chance to win. I have made about 30 cards and I want to make about 20 more, but if I don't, all my family will still get their cards.
Cute!!!
I love your style, but i just don't like the art on this cartridge. Thanks for the awesome chance to win though!

Your cute card made me do a double take on looking at this cart. I would definely need that embossing folder with this cart. Its what really makes the card.
Dawn RI
Love the embossing with this card!
This card is adorable! Having a family of mostly guys I appreciate the chance to win the handyman cartridge. Thanks.
I like today's card. Lite Sweater Weather cartridge - trying to figure that one out? Great card!
Very cute "sweater" effect! Perfect for a chilly day in Florida today! And I must have those stamps! Thanks for all the great ideas!
Tammy B.
That is the neatest card I have ever seen, it looks just like a sweater.
Cute card. Still working on my cards.....one at a time.......
One word: H O M E S P U N !!! Great card, makes me feel all warm n'toasty!!
I really love the look of this cartridge-wonder if it is too late to add to my want list!!!
I haven't even started my holiday cards yet. I am so far behind and it is only Dec. 1st!
The embossing makes this card just about perfect. Thanks for sharing. papermemories4u@ yahoo.com
oohh....i love his cards...it is very interesting...look like needle points....totally love it....btw, i love this giveway....been wanting to get the handyman cartridge for a long time...thanks for the chance....happy holiday...
I have been making backgrounds with alcohol ink and acrylic paint. I had seen a technique using the paint and dripping etoh ink as it resists. Had fun and made some very colorful fingers and papers. I like messy techniques.
Thanks for asking.
Hugs,
Beverly
I have only started by force! Lol, friends have pushed me to make or design a card for a group. I love my friends!

Love the trees with the heart in the middle. So very cute. Can't wait to try it myself. TFS

This card has a very different look to it - I'm intrigued. You've got my attention! (btw - thank you for allowing spell-check in these comment windows - I seem to be using it a lot these days)
I have not started my Christmas cards as I send out a Valentine's letter last year & I decided that I am going to do that from now on to avoid the hectic time around Christmas!
Cute card.

That card is serious fun!

Cute card, reminds me of the plastic canvas you used to sew on, thanks for all your fabulous ideas!

I love the look of the embossing folder. Makes the look. I have been dying to get that Handyman cart too!

I'm not even a fourth of the way finished with my Christmas cards:(
Hi, LOve the "knitted" look of the card, neat! I have barely begun to make my Christmas cards this year, just got behind. December always sneaks up on me like that, but I am about done with Christmas shopping. I plan on working on Christmas cards from now until the snow melts, and in Ohio that could be in MArch or later of next year. I might as well keep at it so that I will have some for next year too. Plus I am gonna work on Christmas tags, I think I might send them with cards next year as a little gift inside the card! ~gin~
This is a cute card. I love that embossed look. TFS
Luria
Wow...I love this card. What a wonderful idea to have the knit look.

Thanks for the chance to win. This cartridge is so cute.
What a great and inspiring site; I don't have my cards done yet...thanks for the great ideas.
this christmas sweater look is awesome! I'm a new cricut user and I am so excited to try it out. I only have the 2 cartridges that came with my machine, but I have already done so much with them! Thanks for the site and inspiration!
cute card
OMG...this is just to cute!
Love your Christmas Card! Looks old Fashioned. Love It! Love that Embossing Folder. I just posted a Card on my blog tonight,using that folder. Unfortunately it is a Sympathy Card for a Young Woman that passed away early this morning.
have always wondered how the heck to leave a comment - this video helped me so much. Thanks for doing it. Now let's see if I do it correctly.
