Cartridges used
Imagine More for pattern and oval
Imagine More cards
and Easter 2010 (regular)
The paper is all with the pattern with Imagine. I took a card shape from Imagine cards (if you go by the online pdf file on cricut.com/information/cartridge library it is Imagine more cards and pg number 22) but wanted the pattern from Imagine More (pg 35 right side) So I cached it and I did want to cut the card first so I could calculate inner dimensions. I did not like the pattern on the sides either so I used a pattern this time from Imagine more cards itself pg 36 right side)
Lol both the machines were working - Imagine and cricut E.
Remember to get to pattern you have to select any image and then press edit - only then can you reach the paper patterns as Imagine loads them only then so that you can flood fill. So I cached and then changed and added the card and edited so that I can cut it as big as it can. I think I got 6.6. Then I print and cut and then flipped it and printed it again so that I can stick it back to back.
Then I loaded Imagine More and liked the oval shape image (again online Imagine more - pg number 14 lower image). I now knew how big I wanted the oval. But before cutting I took a soda can (drinking lots of sunkist nowadays) and cut it open and used nestability and cut an oval shape for my egg. Then I cuttlebugged it. I got a shiny egg. I used sharpie/copic and gold foil pen to color it in. I measured the egg (G makes it so easy - just zoom to maximum and it is exactly to scale). So I used Easter 2010 and adjusted the bunny to fit. This bunny I cut using my cricut E and also the Happy Easter . Count squares! Count squares and size and cut. I think that was my mantra.
Ok the egg now gave me how big the oval should be and the card gave me an idea how small it should be
ie I now got the > and < figures and so I cut the image. I wanted a smaller flower shape for the front circle tab shape so I cut the same flower shape only to the appropriate size.
I wanted to decorate and instead of ribbon used pattern on pg 27 of Imagine more (top).
Well that was it. Then I cut shadow of Easter phrase and bunny in cricut E colored it with Copic added some pearls . I also colored the Velcro brown so that it would blend in and I could close the card.
Well nothing will make much sense without the pictures will it?
So here goes
The composite wink (so that I can post this for the magazine)

Looks like a lot of great work but I love it! I had my I one day and it went nuts the next, so I've sent it back for replacement. Boohoo! When it comes, I'm sure these posts will make a tad bit more sense to me!
Very cute, but looks like a lot of work went into making the card. I don't have the imagine yet.
Adorable.. Love the card.
