The newest Cricut Circle cartridge has arrived - Letter Envy!! I am pretty excited about this cart and I really am not even sure why, as I typically don't like mismatched fonts. Well, I opened it almost as soon as I got the box and flipped through the handbook. As soon as I saw the heart with a flourish on it, I was inspired!
And it just so happened that I needed to make an anniversary card for my husband. I am in love with him and with this card! :)
Here it is:
I cut the heart and one of it's layers at 3.5". The & was cut at 3" and the words were cut at 2". Everything was inked with brown to soften it all.
I also wanted the card to be soft so I didn't add pop dots but I did only glue the phrases down where they touch the heart or the ampersand. This left the ends loose. Hopefully you can see what I mean here in this picture:
I really like the way this card came out and am very proud of it. I could even tell my husband liked it because after he read the inside, he closed the card and examined the front very closely. He followed that up with a compliment about the card but it was that inspecting stage that I really appreciated! :) :)
I shared this on Made by You Monday and PBD's What are you up to?!
My cart arrived yesterday and is packed to go on a weekend crop!
