Cartridge Showcase: Florals Embellished

Welcome to CookingWithCricut.com and another super Cartridge Showcase! Chef Suzanne of Cricut Craftin' Grammy is  here to share some projects she has created using the Florals Embellished cartridge.  This cartridge has some amazingly detailed images that will make your projects come to life with such beauty.

So let's see what Suzanne has for us....

Hello everyone.  This is Suzanne from Cricutcraftingrammyblogspot.  I am really excited to share my first cartridge showcase with you today.  I selected Floral Embellished as it is a wonderful cart for Mother's Day.  I first saw this cartridge when it was introduced at a Cricut Circle event.  At the event they showed us a binder with every single cut and I fell in love with it.  On the cart you will find medallions, birds and butterflies in beautiful colorful layers and silhouettes.  There are also an abundance of phrases about moms, grandmas, etc. 

When preparing my showcase I realized I had used Floral Embellished for cards but never a layout yet.  

So this is what I created using pictures of my granddaughter Kenzie kissing the ultrasound picture of her new brother or sister.  

The flower was cut from page 59 cut at 4 inches 

The xoxo is from page 59 cut at 2 inches 

Bunches of love is from page 29 cut at 2 1/2 inches 

The circle is from page 60 at 11 inches.

I chalked the edges and then added flowers and bling.

(I realized while looking at the pictures I have lost a flower in the center of the large pink flower. I have already sent the LO to my daughters so will have to fix it later. )

I also wanted to show you the silhouette feature.  This was cut from page 59 at 4 inches.

I added gems, MS corner punch and ribbon
