To create this layout I used the Botanicals Cartridge for the flourish above and the birdhouse. Forever Young for the scalloped “flowers” and I can’t remember which cartridge the Font came from. The daisy border as well as the “lacey” border came from a couple of punches.


As always, thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderfully crafty day!

Joy Layout-Cricut

Hello Everyone,
Here is a layout I made with a couple of challenges in mind. I used the sketch from the SOUS challenge blog this week. Over at Stampin' Sisters In Christ challenge blog, our challenge was to use something that would require a blueprint to complete, i.e. a house and in my case, a birdhouse :-)
Here is a view of the entire layout.

This flourish came from the Botanicals Cricut Lite cartridge.

I cut these scalloped circles in three sizes. These were from the Cindy Loo cartridge, but I know other cartridges have a scalloped circle that you can use.

I used the following cartridges to complete this layout:

  1. Botanicals - birdhouse, flourish and JOY lettering
  2. Cindy Loo - Scalloped circles for "flowers"
I used an EK success Daisy punch for the daisy strip and an EK success border punch for the "lacey" looking border.
The Girls' Paperie Patterned Paper - Shabby Flower and Paisley
This paper is double sided so I only used two pieces of paper to get all four patterns :-)
  • I cut ALL the Cricut elements in plain white cardstock.
  • I chalk inked the flourish and JOY letters with dark brown chalk ink.
  • I colored the birdhouse with my copics and then hit it with my dark brown chalk ink to give it a more aged look and to "knock back" the colors.
  • I stamped the white scallops with a MS stamp and then inked the edges with Pastel Pink Chalk Ink. I then added a dew drop in the centers.
  • I punched the Daisy border in white cardstock and then inked it in dark brown chalk ink.
  • I punched the Flourish border in pink cardstock and then inked it slightly on the edges with my Chestnut Roan chalk ink to give it a bit of "shabbyness".
I hope you enjoy this. I will be back later with a little different version of this layout which will feature a FREE file for my SCAL and MTC Cricut crew as well as all the other cut file "collectors" out there :-)
