I whipped up the cutest card while playing around with my new Cricut Explore. I was so excited for the upgrade! It comes with a learning curve for Cricut Design Space though. After several videos, I have got the hang of the basics. My free subscription is only for two weeks, so I wanted to churn out some things...this guy was the prototype. He was a little on the small side so I made 6 more in a larger size. This is two images from Mini Monster. I first cut the "card" and the face is from another image, I sized them the same which is easy from the edit tool...literally just typed in 5.5" for each image. I then just set up my mats and cut away! I love how you can move the images around for maximum paper usage or on the other side of the paper instead of always on the top left corner. I have also learned a few other tricks in my small amount of time on Design Space that I will share during my next challenge coming up May 23!
I chalked up the edges with Quick Quotes Green with Envy ink and Midnight Confessions.
I stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up Unfrogettable (very old set).
