And my second card, I again used the print and cut feature on Cricut explore for the Lephracun Bear, Rainbow Cloud and Sentiment. And again I used stickles to accent the bear. The shamrock paper is from Doodlebug. I used my trimmer with scallop blade and cut the card 6 x12(scored at 6)

For my projects today, I made 2 birthday cards with my Cricut Explore. For the first one, I used a cutting file from Papercrafting World called Circle Double Picot Card. I absolutely love this card so easy and fun. I finished it off with some stickles.

The second card was My Scrap Chick called the Cake Card. I had some problem with sizing it as it came in two files and was sized exceptionally small. So, it took me some time to get it sized and the sizing isn't exact. Again, I touched off the finished card with stickles.
