Cute Little Fox Thank You Card Made With Cricut Design Space

I've always been a huge Cricut fan, and over time the types of projects I've created has vastly improved. 

I've morphed from just a few shapes, page elements, titles, etc. to full blown scrapbooking layouts and cards. 

Here is one of those cards:

Of course I did make a few modifications to the original Design Space File by Cricut from the exclusive
Close to my Heart Cartridge Artiste.

Here is my shared and modified version of the Design Space File.

The Close to my Heart cardstock colors I used were Almond, Toffee, Mint, White Daisy and Espresso.

The sentiment "Thanks" is from the January 2019 Stamp of the Month stamp set "Card Captions". 

This stamp set is only $5 when you purchase $50 or more from my online store. 

I love that there is still space on the inside for a handwritten message. 

I chose to embellish the inside top corner of the card with a few stamped images for some added flare. 

The entire card is distressed with Toffee ink for some added dimension.

I submitted my card to the following challenges:

Bee Happy Card

Tonight, I made a quick and cute card using the Close to my Heart exclusive "Flower Market" Cricut cartridge. 

The base of the card is Black cardstock.

I used a few retired colors and some current ones for the rainbow effect, but overall with the cuts and adhering them, I was finished in less than 30 minutes.

I ended up using a tiny amount of liquid glass to adhere the pieces and just regular Tombow adhesive for the rest.

On the inside of the card, I simply distressed the edges of "White Daisy" cardstock.

I typically use my cricut cartridges for titles, overlays, and characters but there really are so many more capabilities. 

To receive the Cricut Design Space file link, just head over to my VIP Scrapbook/Stamping Facebook group, and look for the Bee Happy Card picture and link. 

You will need the "Flower Market" cartridge to be linked to your Cricut Design Space, in order to cut the file and create the card.

This cartridge is available on my Close to my Heart online store!

Not only do you receive the digital cartridge, you also receive the coordinating stamp sets, that go with many of the cuts/shapes. 

Here are a few examples of the items on the cartridge:

And this link will take you to the Shape Index, which shows you pictures of everything on the cartridge.

There are 700 images: shapes, layers, banners, borders, titles, and fonts on the cartridge!

The Impossible Card Cricut Design Space Template

So you may have seen my previous post, about using the "Impossible Card" fancy fold technique... 

While I love this style, I knew there had to be an easier way... 

So I spent several hours designing a Cricut Design Space File. 

While it is not perfect, it will serve it's purpose. 

The file is for an A2 size card. 

The first file contains the base and the second contains the two side layers and the top standing layer. I am not charging for these, they are free for you to use, however I ask if you use, them to please give me credit, as the designer of the file.

Please note the file does contain a score piece and the cutting. So if you do not have a Cricut Score tool, you may wish to purchase one. If you are a Close to my Heart consultant we do have them in our Supply Section.

I can't wait to see what you use the file to create!
