Cartridge Showcase: Elegant Edges

Happy Monday and welcome to Cooking With Cricut's Cartridge Showcase! 

Today Chef Adrian is featuring the Elegant Edges cartridge.  This cartridge will add a graceful style to your creative projects. It features beautifully detailed accents, frames, and borders that will help make your scrapbook layouts, home decor, and other projects even lovelier.

So without further ado . . . here's Adrian!

Today, I am sharing with you projects from one of my favorite cartridges: Elegant Edges! I love this cartridge because it is so versatile. The features make your ideas limitless, just use your imagination! 

 

For my most recent project, I used the oblong feature. I was going to use my Spellbinder ,but I had to do them one at a time. Because I needed so many cutouts, I decided to use Elegant Edges. I was able to get the same effect but easier to make. I used the scallop shape for these beautiful table number settings.

I also used the “postage stamp” oblong feature for the backgrounds on this card.

The “Oblong Frame” feature adds a great touch to any card. This frame makes the card look like it has depth, dimension and breaks up the paper.

My most favorite, favorite feature is the “Shadow”. This feature allows me to make great shape cards. There are so many great shapes and the “shaped” card making potential is endless!! I still have some great ideas I want to try, so be on the lookout!

I love to use Elegant Edges for border feature, which acts just like a border punch. You get so many varieties and selections without having to purchase a different punch for each project. The scallop border punch in this card was created with Elegant Edges. This is a great feature!

So take the plunge and discover all that Elegant Edges has to offer!

Great projects, Adrian! Thanks so much for sharing them with us in today's cartridge showcase. Please make sure you click over and leave Adrian some "love" at her blog!

Cartridge Showcase is going on break until after Christmas.  Please make sure you stop by daily beginning December 1st for our  2nd Annual 25 Days of Christmas Crafting Showcase for tons of great projects and freebies, too! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! We appreciate it so very much!

Cartridge Showcase: Formal Occasion

Happy Monday and welcome to Cooking With Cricut's Cartridge Showcase! 

Today Chef Madison is featuring the Formal Occasion cartridge.  Whether you’re remembering prom or just a special night out, this cartridge has the stylized glamour you need. It is filled with images of formal dresses, tuxedos, flowers, carriages, accessories, and more. Layered phrases and frames add the perfect touch to your scrapbook layouts, cards, and other projects. This cartridge includes: Layer 1, Layer 2, Phrase, Phrase Layer, Frame, and Frame Layer creative features.  So without further ado . . . here's Madison!

I would like to show you several projects I made using cutouts from the Formal Occasions Cricut cartridge. In addition, my first project will include a Bible verse as National Bible Week is approaching.  National Bible Week is celebrated each year from Sunday to Sunday of Thanksgiving week. This year the celebration runs from November 24th -28th.

 

The Bible verse on this wedding card is from Ephesians 4:2-3 and reads, "with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." One nice feature on the Formal Occasions Cricut cartridge is the variety of banners like the one used above. The Bible verse was computer generated and added to the cut out. It was also inked for added interest and pop.

Another feature on the Formal Occasions Cricut cartridge is the ability to make really cute Winter Formal invitations and party favors. The sky's the limit with this cartridge when it comes to doing scrapbook pages for high school dances.

My friend Peter and I took this funny picture and I made him this keepsake from the dance using the Formal Occasions Cricut cartridge. You can use colored card stock to match the colors of your dress and his tie. I really like how this turned out. You can really personalize your project.  

I had a lot of fun with this cartridge. Thank you to my friend Linda, who once again let me borrow this cartridge so that I could create these projects!! You ROCK Linda:)
