Welcome to Day 2 of the
Blog Hop.....

Here is my card.....

Can you guess the theme?


Once you have guessed what the theme is,
head over to Mandy,
at the Scrappy Go Lucky Blog,
and leave a comment with your answer,
to be in with a chance to win one of the
four new release cartridges from Cricut.....

Rock Princess

Happy Hauntings


Good Luck.....



Instructions for my card -

Using Cricut Expression, Gypsy and
Pagoda Passion cartridge.....

1 Using black Bazzill cardstock cut the card base 6inches x 8inches and fold to a landscape orientation - to measure 6 x 4

2 Cut the grey dotty Cristina Re paper slightly smaller than 6 x 4 and attach to front of card

3 From DoubleMates grey cardstock cut the Pagoda (page 61 of Handbook), no features selected, at 3.47 inches
4 From DoubleMates black cardstock cut the Pagoda, shift selected, at 3.47 inches

5 From DoubleMates black cardstock cut 1 lily (page 53 of Handbook), no features selected, at 3.71 inches




6 From DoubleMates white cardstock cut 1 lily (the flower heads), shift selected, at 3.71 inches

7 For 2nd lily, flip the design before cutting the pieces

8 From white Bazzill cardstock cut an oval (I used Nestabilities) and place centrally on card front

9 Layer Pagoda pieces together using foam tape, and place centrally on top of white oval

10 Layer lily pieces together and place either side of Pagoda




Here are the cards I made for the swap
- and I made an extra one
- for you.....

Yes, I am giving this card to one of you
- just leave a comment on this post,

and remember to come back on
Tuesday 17th Aug to see if you have won....


However, not only will you win the card

which I have designed from the card....

The photo mat is ready to take a 6 x 4 photograph
with no trimming or fussing,

to allow your photo to just slip into place.....
