CHRISTMAS BELL

I made this card using my Cricut Explore 

and the Sleigh Bell Embellishment #ME2EF41

from Anna Griffin Cards and Embellishments 2

 Cartridge.  The card base is 10 x 7, scored in

 half at 5" to create a 5 x 7 card.  The white

layer is cut at 6 3/4 x 4 3/4.  I added an 

accent of silver sequins for a little sparkle.

SYMPATHY CARDS

I created this card using the Cricut Explore.

I used the Anna Griffin Flourish Cards

and Embellishments cartridge.   I used 

an Embellishment (#M1BD487) from the

 cartridge and sliced it into a basic shapes

square (#M369896).  Be sure to resize

your basic square to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

'Slice Feature' on the Explore.

The smaller panels were cut at 2 x 3 and

1 3/4 x 2 3/4.  They were layered together

and a piece of ribbon was tied around it

to form a bow.  The sentiments are from

Close To My Heart and the name of the

set is called Sincere Expressions

PICTURE CAROUSEL

I created this carousel mini album completely

from paper.  The paper is so detailed that you

really didn't need embellishments.  That,

alone, made it quick and simple.  The only

thing used, other than paper, is one small 

piece of ribbon.  I really like how it turned out.
