Card using Quarter Note Cricut cartridge - #139

Hi everyone....I hope your Christmas was awesome!  Santa was very good to me....he brought me a "plum" cricut expression bundle and it is sooooo pretty.  If you are a member of my Craft Junkie Too Facebook page you may have seen the short video I put up on Sunday showing you my cute little bundle.   

For my first project with my new machine I decided to make my good friend Mary a birthday card using the new Quarter Note cricut cartridge.  Quarter Note is all about music, instruments, phrases and even has a very nice font on it too.  I chose this cartridge because Mary loves to sing, play the piano and really enjoys music.  This cartridge is PERFECT for music lovers and will make some beautiful scrapbook pages and/or cards for that special person in your life.







Supplies:
- Piano (3 inches) & Phrase (2 1/2 inches) - Quarter Note cricut cartridge
- cardstock - Papertrey Ink
- Designer paper & Vellum - Hobby Lobby
- border punch - Scroll & Dots by EK Success
- small black brads (to secure vellum to paper)
- black trim - Hobby Lobby
- black ink for shading, markers and white gel pen for doodling


The first video will show you the machine sizes and cuts.  I APOLOGIZE for being off camera during most of the demo in the book but I am getting used to my Ultra Flip HD camcorder and it's hard for me to see the little screen.  I will work on that in the future to ensure I am in the shot.  None the less....in the video I hope to give you the idea of what I am doing.  :)



In this video I will put the card together and show you some added additions I am using like the border punch and papers for the card.  I hope you find it inspirational.






Thanks so much for stopping by today and for leaving me your comments.  I really do appreciate you all.
