I made all my die cuts using the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge: This butterfly below was cut out at 2". How did I get such an intricate cut? Here's the secret: Blade at 3 or 4, pressure at 3, speed at 3, multi-cut at 2 (this is for Walmart black cardstock in the office aisle). The brown strips are for journaling.

I don't have the Bridal Shower cartridge and would like to win it!! I'm really new using the Cricut, I got the 5th anniversary for Christmas and just love it. My first cartridge was the Art Philosophy and it has so many patterns that is really good.
Thank you for all your beutiful ideas! Danita D.

Cute layout... love that butterfly!
I'm hearing allot about the philosophy cartridge and it's all good!
This is very cute. I like the color paper of the word "fly" it's very vibrant. I just adore the butterfly on the bottom. The black really makes it stand out and with the word fly the layout makes a statement.
dutchie10@hotmail.com
I Love, love, love your "FLY" layout. Thank you so much for sharing this layout. I know I shall be making one myself.
I really, really hope I'm chosen to win the Bridal Shower cartridge because my son is getting married in September and his fiancee is originally from The Republic of Moldova and I would like to host a shower for her -- I know that's not usually done by the bridegroom's Mom but I have hardly anything at all to start out with and I want to help all I can.
She graduates with her degree in Nursing next month. With her R.N. she'll do very well I know.
Thanks again for the layout, the drawing and the link to the Sketches website!

It's funny you say that about the paper. I feel the same way. Sometimes I will hold paper back for something special then when I use it, I wish I would have used it sooner because it was so nice. Love the layout.
I love Allison's sketches. Great choice here for your project, and I love the bright papers.

That is a great idea for a card! I love sign language crafts.
LOVE the sign langauge die cuts! I actually called Cricut some months ago, I responded to an email about things you would like to see from them. I suggested something with sign language because I have an Autistic and Deaf nephew. SOOOOO Happy that the developers used my suggestion!

I loved this layout. I wish I could be creative like that. I am great with patterns, but just creating a layout is so hard for me to do. It is so great to get a great idea sent to the inbox. Also thanks for the opportunity to win the awesome new cardridge.

I just love the butterfly on your layout!
