Today I have a card for you that I made using the Botanicals Cricut cartridge. This cartridge is very simplistic which makes it really easy to use.
I
cut the bouquet at 4 1/4". The ribbon is Papertrey Ink as is the
patterned paper. I also used one of the new cuttlebug folders for
texture on the cream card stock.

This is so pretty. It's got such a soft, delicate look to it.
My favourite lite cartridge is probably 4-Legged Friends - even though I don't own it myself!
I love the muted colors on this card..so soft.
Such a simple beautiful card! I love the colors you chose.
Lovely card. Favorite lite cartridge? I don't think I own any of them! I try to purchase the most "universal" designs I can find to make it worth the money, I guess. :)

I love flourishes lite cartridge.
Oh do I love this elegant small card! Favorite lite cartridge would have to be Savory. It would be great to win this new "Botanicals" cartridge. As I am a flower, leave and anything with nature lover. Thanks for the chance. ekciampo@yahoo.com
Very pretty card! Thank you for sharing with us!
Pretty card. I don't have many cartridges, but so far my favorite is Hoot n Holler.

Your card is very serene. It just has a very soft, comforting feel to it!
My favorite Lite cartridge is probably Lacy Labels.
TFS!
This is a very elegant beautiful card! Love the colors and the papers used.
It's hard to pick one favorite Lite Cart, but I'm going to say this moment it is Love You A Latte....for all my coffee friends, those friend that need an energy drink, friends that meet for a quick coffee/latte during a busy day....lots of times I go to this cart for a quick card & inspiration!
This card is beautiful! The embossing adds such a nice touch, love it! I don't own any Lite cartridges, so I can't really name a favorite.
Beautiful card, very subtle. I haven't played around with this cartridge yet. Time to pull it out.
Thanks for sharing.
This card is just the idea I needed to send to people that opened their homes to my Master Gardener group on our recent trip to Georgia. We all (50 of us on a bus trip)enjoyed their gardens so and want to tell them again now that we are back home.
Very pretty card - thanks for sharing!

Beautiful card-my favorite lite cart is Sweet and Savory (but I love Botanicals!)
What a simply yet elegant card! My favorite 'lite cart' is a toss up between Fancy Frames & Flower Shoppe.Both are great for cards! Have a great weekend!
I don't have it, but it's 1st on my list to purchase: "Love You a Latte"
I love embossing w/ the small dots folder that you used. One of my favorites:)
sandy17897@comcast.net
This card is so elegant. My favorite cricut lite cartridge is Jolly Holidays. I saw the images that they have and are adorable. It is rather difficult to get and if you find the price is unavailable, haha. Thanks for sharing your projects and these tips to help us both. Happy day!
This is a beautiful card. Very tasteful.
Love this card, and I have this cart, so it's always nice to see an idea using a cart that we own!!!! Thanks again
Elegant and simple. I love it. It's refreshing to see cards that look this good without a lot of fussing. I love Celebrate with Flourish but don't have it yet...
A very pretty card. Cherry Limeade is my favorite lite cart!
bdcampers@msn.com
I do not own one of the Lite cartridges, but my favorite overall cartridge would have to be the Perserves cartridge.
Beautiful card!
Elegant bouquet. I have this cartridge and have not used it much. My fav Lite cartridges are Carousel & Handyman. Was hoping that Handyman would have a lawn mower on it for the Mowed Grass card I was making for Father's Day. The only 2 cartridges that have a lawn mower are 2 I do not have: Chore List & Pop Up Neighborhood. Ok this 'Prove your not a robot' is getting more difficult. I'm going to have to guess at the character in the box thing on left.

wow this is cute delicate and the colors are amazing ♥
Love the soft colors in this card. And the dot background is my favorite to use in my cards!
What a cute card -- I'm always impressed with how seeing a project can make a cart (& its possibilities) come alive!! Currently, my favorite cart is 'Hoot & Holler' because my daughter's college has an owl as a mascot! After she graduates, it may go back to 'Lacy Labels' because of how easy it is to make the borders for cards & LOs...Would LOVE to get 'Fast Food' (lots of pics to scrapbook), 'Pet Shop', & 'Sweet Shoppe'!!
Elegant card. I love the colors.

Beautiful card! My favorite Lite Cartridge is definitely the Meow one. I love cats and I think it's the perfect cart for my scraping :)
My favorite lite cartridge is Inspired Heart. That cartridge makes it so easy to make cards for religious activities such as baptisms, confirmations, etc. and sympathy cards (which I find to be the hardest cards of all to make.) The above card is beautiful but I'm a true fan of anything with flowers!
I do not have any lite cartridges. So if I win this will be my fave. Thanks!
Very pretty card--so detailed!
Nice card. I was given the Botanicals cartridge but have only use the font feature so far.
What a beautiful and simple card! I love it! My current favorite lite cart is "Cherry Limeade". TFS!
Love the colors and design on this card--great inspiration. My favorite lite cart is Flower Shoppe which I do not own yet!
Its funny you used this cartridge, Botanicals is my favorite cartridge and unfortunately its one I don't have and it must be popular cause I can't seem to find it anywhere. I see it online via ebay or amazon but its so expensive there and I don't want to pay the outragious shipping they charge.

Great 'Thank You' card. I don't have any lite cartridges yet, but I like Recess because I'm a retired teacher and many pages to scrap of my grandchildren's school days.
this is a beautiful thank you card. I'm a newbie to the cricut(just got mine a week ago) and I have been feverishly using it for my sons b-day party for next week.

right now, my favorite Lite cart is Lacy Labels but it seems to change periodically.
I'm impressed by your creativity! I tend to fall a bit short of pulling everything together in the end, and really like the way you tie it all together neatly on each card. I found your site while searching for ideas and tips for using my cricut cake. I certainly found tons of ideas, thank you!
i have this cart but never have used it thanks for showing this
