This Can Be a Fast Card But.....

I had a little time this afternoon so I thought I would make a quick card for the blog.  What was supposed to be a quick card turned out to take a long time.  Why was I surprised?  I decided on a background and started to cut it with my Cricut Explore.  Everything went fine until I got to the intricate top layer.  My machine started tearing the design.  I tried a couple of things but then called Cricut support.  A lovely lady named Heather stayed on the phone with me for an hour and 2 minutes until the problem was solved.  Thank you, Heather.

Card supplies:
6X6" card base
Background - Rose Bow Background from Anna Griffin Ribbons and Bows Cricut cartridge
Flowers - Anna Griffin embellishments.

So you can see, it should have been easy, not stressful to make this card.  I didn't put a sentiment on it until I send it.

Thank you for visiting with me today.  God Bless You!!!! Peggy

  2. Beautiful card! Can you tell us what they did to resolve the cutting issue? Most of the time if I have an issue with an intricate cut its the paper. Too textured or too fibrous! Thanks in advance! I love Anna Griffin too!
