Cricut Christmas In July: MIN Watercolour Christmas Card

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

I love the Make It Now Projects in Cricut Design Space, especially the pen projects.  

Here is a MIN Project called Watercolor Christmas Card.  

Instead of using watercolours, I decided to try out a new set of Prismacolour Pencil Crayons that I had purchased off of a local garage sale site.   It's been a long time since I've done any colouring but I really liked how smooth these pencils are - not bad for a $7 purchase.

I used a Pilot Precise V5 Black Pen in my Explore,  it was perfect for the fine lines in this project.
After colouring I added a sequin and a bit of silver cord for embellishment.

The images in this Make It Now Project are from the Anna's Christmas Cards and Embellishments Cartridge - on sale for $14.99 during Cricut's Christmas In July.

Cricut Lovely Layers Rose Card

Here's another card from my new Anna's Lovely Layered Cards Cartridge that I bought during the Black Friday Sale.

This one had six layers to assemble.

I sized it at 5" high in the Cricut Design Space App to get a 5x5 finished card. 

I used my Black Pilot Precise V5 pen in the Explore for the sentiment.

  

All the layers laid out before I started gluing them together.

I started with the top row and worked my way from right to left.

I glued the back of the upper pieces then laid them onto the layer 

below so I wouldn't have any glue showing through.

I did find that the 6 layers were really thick when I went to 

put the inner dark purple layer on and try to fold it.  

Next time I do this I think I will score the top layer by hand instead of with the Explore, then I can move the line over just a little when adhering the inner piece. 

I'm not entirely sure what colours of cardstock I used.  I have a drawer full of 8x11 and a lot of it is retired SU cardstock that I purchased in 2002/2003 when a friend was a demo.

I've had my eye on a couple of Anna Griffin Cricut Cartridges for a while now.  

I keep seeing gorgeous, intricate cards and scrapbook layouts using her images in Cricut Design Space. 

 I decided to take advantage of the Cricut Black Friday Sale (ends 11/29) of $14.99 cartridges and an additional 35% discount for digital images with the coupon code 35DIGITAL.  

I ended up paying $8.77 for each cartridge (regular price $29.99).

Here is the first card that I made using Anna's Lovely Layered Cards.

This project was in the Make It Now Section of Cricut Design Space.  

I used a Black Pilot Precise V5 Pen for the sentiment.  

I used CTMH Cardstock and tried out a couple of the new Enchantment colours that were introduced in September.

CTMH Products used (top to bottom layers):

CTMH White Daisy Cardstock

CTMH Saffron Cardstock (new)

CTMH Glacier Cardstock
