TRI-FOLD "SHUTTER" CARD

I've been playing again and here's what I did. I used GBS to create this tri-fold card. It cuts in two steps. First the "cut" then the "scorelines". You have to cut both for it to fold.

Yo-Yo

Here's a yo yo with string. It's designed with a base, the yo yo's two sides and string that all cut seperately. I haven't cut it. I used GBS and HA. It will work with either machine.

CHICKEN ON NEST CARD

I have two versions of the chicken card on one file. The smaller is simply a chicken and the larger is a chicken on a nest with eggs. I used GBS, PSB, DC and PDDU for the large one and GBS & PSB for the smaller. I just threw the large one together so I could get a photo and post this for those that have been waiting patiently. I'll post another shot when I complete it with all the details. I plan to redo the wing in white for this one.

PREGNANCY JOURNAL

Thanks to LT6982 from the Cricut MB for this wonderful idea. I love this book and it's been so much fun to make. Here's her original post.

I made this one for my DIL. I went with a less traditional color scheme and I think she'll love it, except that she does actually have to do some journaling. I kept it to the bare minimum because I know she doesn't like to write. The blank pages are for photos as the pregnancy progresses. I used a bit of Cricut's NA, but most is just cut or printed with computer. I included stickers for "boy" or "girl" and black photo corners to mount additional photos.

FLAMINGO CARD

I created this flamingo file in April 2008. It uses GBS, J, WIMG & DC. I have 2 sizes. The large one is about 7" tall. The small one, was "shrunk" & had parts replaced to work with her carts by KathyPem. I then reworked that file to match my large one and it is 3 1/2". So there are 2 seperate files for the 2 sizes. Download either or both, if you please. A little art work with water color pens and voila! This card is the large flamingo on an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card.

SCALLOP CIRCLE DRESS CUTS & SALT SHAKER

This has been a very productive day. I designed a pickle/cucmber, holding hands, salt shaker and now the cuts for the scallop dress. Sure glad my shoulder's doing better. I'll add the cut file for the shaker at the very bottom of this post. Here's a cut file to make the dress using the 35 bump scallop from Home Decor & GBS. If you have another scallop circle you can try replacing the Home Decor one with yours, but the cut lines probably won't line up. You will, however, get the shape. The scallop dress is cut in two stages. First the circle then cut the lines for the dress.

CHILD HOLDING PARENT'S HAND

Here's another file that was requested by a Cricut MB member. I really enjoyed making this one and love the way it turned out. I'll need to improve on my "sketching" skills, though. It's made with GBS only. It's sized to work on an A2 card. It's cut in two pieces. You will have to make a cut along the thumb of the child's hand to interlink the two hands.

PICKLE OR CUCUMBER

I created this file for a Cricut MB member. She needed a pickle. It'll be great for summer garden or recipe files. There are 2 versions. One is all GBS and the second is GBS & AK.
