Cricut Circle and some 3 Birds!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the comments for the Midnight Rooster mini kit- my mini kit winner is Connie.

Connie, please e-mail your contact information to mburry{at}midnightrooster{dot}net so that we can get your mini out to you.

I was asked to be on the Cricut Circle blog design team a few months ago and it has been so amazing to work with Provo Craft! They have treated us so wonderfully, being so generous and providing us with the best tools to work with. The design team for the Cricut Circle blog provides inspirational and jaw dropping ideas for all your Provo Craft tools, cartridges, etc. 6 days of the week AND you should see the amazing giveaways that go on. If this sounds like something you're intersted in, here is the link to check out how you can become a member of the Cricut Circle blog! Because the Cricut Circle blog is exclusive to the Cricut Circle members, I can only share a few peeks of my projects here:

spring and baby cards!

Shaped spring card.



supplies:
3 Birds Super Sticker Nestables Foil and Glitter Set.
3 Birds Must Have Textured Cardstock Stack.
3 Birds 3D Sticker Embellishment Kit.

instructions:
Fold 12*12 pink cardstock in half.
Peel off the very center of large sticker.
Place round sticker (heart border, flower) on the folded cardstock, making sure a small amount of the circle hangs over the top, folded seam of the card base.
Before completely adhering edges of flower to cardstock, place some of the leaf stickers underneath the petals.

tip 1: Use a tiny amount of baby power and rub it on the sticky spot that overhangs the top of the card, this will make it non-sticky so it won't be sticking to your table.

Cut around the circular edges of the large sticker, being sure to cut thru both the front and back of folded card.

tip 2: If you want to use the shape of the center of the large sticker, but don't particularly like the way the pattern works with your project you can try this tip: I took the sticker and placed it on the back of a patterned paper that I wanted to use. Then I simply used my scissors and cut around the shape, flip it over and there you have the shape you want with the patterned paper you want.

Once you have the center ready, adhere to the center of your large flower using foam adhesive for dimension.
Use some circle punches and cut out pink then a smaller green circle, layer and adhere to center of flower.
Finish this card by adhering butterfly, title and flower to card as seen.

Here's another card I made using Cricut 3 Birds on on Parade Full Content Cartridge.

Stork baby boy card.



Hope that gives you some good tips and new ideas!, Charity
