I put my "ugly" card on the Cricut Message Board. Everyone was so kind. No one agreed with me but I did get some suggestions. So I took some of them and re-worked the card. This is what it looked like originally.
And this is it made over. Tell me what you think.
I made the card bigger - instead of an A2 card, I made it 5X6.5"
Background paper - Poteeka Souffle by Paper Studios
Holiday Cakes Cricut Cartridge - Page 34 cut at 4.25
Calligraphy Cricut Cartridge - Happy Birthday cut at .75"
Martha Stewart Double Loop Corner Punch
Bling and Stickles
I was able to use the original cuts after taking them off the first card.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Catch The Bug - Anything Goes
Drunken Stampers - Birthdays

I ordered Holiday Cakes with some Cricut rewards. I received it today and decided to make a card with it. Page 34 has a flower design that required 2 cuts. That seemed easy enough. I cut them at 4.25" using my E2. I put the two cuts together and put them on the front of an A2 card. I didn't really like the way it looked so I added stickles to the flower. I then added some bling. Still didn't like it so I thought I would add some dots to the card top. This is the end result and I still don't like it.
Thank you for allowing me to display my failures as well as my successes. We appreciate your comments and visits. God Bless You!!! Peggy
