Welcome To
Today's Theme
at My Cricut Craft Room
is
Religious Cards
I struggled a bit after I signed up for this week's
Theme Day Thursday.
I had planned on using some of the
religious script stickers
in my stash,
but I didn't think about
which Cricut Cartridge I would use.
Oy Vey!!!
So I scoured my collection, which only
took a brief moment...LOL,
and the light bulb
began to shine above my head!
Over The Hill Cricut Cartridge
<insert bright light>
This cartridge has some fun cuts.
I was particularly drawn
to the Gate Fold card, that
literally has a Gate Layer.
I cut the base layer (card) using a cloud/sky design card stock.
For the top layer (gate), I used a shimmery silver card stock.
Both were cut at Fit To Page (7 inches)
There were some extra
swirls near the lower valleys of the top edge
of the card.
I trimmed them to make this look a little less, spooky.
To decorate the inside of the card,
swirls near the lower valleys of the top edge
of the card.
I trimmed them to make this look a little less, spooky.
To decorate the inside of the card,
I used a vellum Scripture sticker by Creative Imaginations,
a fun Cherub resin I got from a very sweet
friend, Heather Flaherty of I Heart {ippity},
and a fancy Bling Swirl from
When I cut the Belly Band that
accompanies the card,
I also did Fit To Page (7 inches).
When scoring it to fit around the card,
the two ends didn't match up on the back.
I guess that is the reason
there was a little red 3" marked in the booklet.
(that'll teach me)
I looked at the bright side
and figured this gave me an opportunity
to play with some of my ribbons and fibers
that get neglected sometimes.
I found a fabulous feathery white fiber
in my stash to bring the two ends together.
I used my hole punch
to create small holes to feed the fiber through.
I chose to tie the ends in the front,
rather than the back like instructed
(Rebel, I know...ha ha ha)
