Egg-stra Special Easter Egg Cards



I had an idea in my head...I wanted to make Easter Egg Cards for a handful of very special people in my life.

I discovered that if I cut out the oval shape with the mirror feature on my Cricut, that it would turn out to be an egg shaped card. I then wanted to decorate it with bright colored flowers...so I went to cutting more on the Cricut and used the George cartridge to cut the flowers. I cut the zig zag lines with my large zig-zag scissors. I also recut everything with black cardstock to shadow each piece. I thought this would make it all stand out so well. I used stickles for the centers of the flowers.

Hope you Enjoy!

  2. The cartridge used to cut out the oval was Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. I used the 'mirror' feature. Once cut, I was able to fold it in half and thereby had a card.
