Exploring Cricut & More - Sunshine Smiles & Critters

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a Happy 4th of July. I'm so excited!
This is my first post as a Design Team Member for
Exploring Cricut and More Yay! 


Today I have a 5" x 7" card I made, using 4 Cricut Cartridges that I would 
like to share with you. This summer themed card was so much fun to make. 
It features 2 of my favorite critters from the Create A Critter Cartridge. 


Using Create A Critter I cut the kitty out at 2.5", the mouse at 1.75", the clouds at 1.0" & 1.25", the sun at 1.25", and the beach ball on the inside at 1.5". I wanted to dress them up for swimming so I cut the goggles (2.75") and ducky innertube (2.75") from the Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge. The innertube for the mouse (.25") came from the Pack Your Bags Cartridge.  


 I added plastic from my Cricut cartridge outer cases to the inside of the goggles. I cut the sign out using the Cricut Campout cartridge and craft and black cardstock. All the papers are from DCWV.  The Sunshine Smiles stamp is from Craftin Desert Diva's Stamps.


I hand cut the ground with a textured sandy colored cardstock. It has clear sparkles giving it just the right look. I inked everything up and layered some of the cuts with foam tape. I left it blank inside so I could decide the occasion later.


I love this cute & summery fun card! I hope you all are having some summer fun too! Be sure to check out the daily projects and biweekly challenges at Exploring Cricut & More !

I will participate in the following challenges:


Have a wonderful & crafty day!!
