live crafting

We have had another evening of live crafting on the crafters companion forum, this is the card we have made
imgredents
Ruler
Pencil
Craft knife
12x12 card for base
Contrasting card if you are going to mat your pattern paper
2 A4 pattern papers
TopperEmbellishments

Step 1
Cut your mat or 1st pattern paper if not mating to 3 3/4 inches x 5 1/4 inches, make two, also cut a strip 1 ¾ x5 ¼ inches
Step 2
Cut second pattern paper to 3 ¾ x 2 ¼ inches.
Then cut 6 pieces measuring 1 ¾ x 1 ¼,
Then 1 more at 1 ¾ x 2 ¼

Card Base
Step 1
Take your 12x12 card and cut it so that it is 12 x 5 ½ wide.
Take your ruler and make small marks in pencil at both top and bottom of this strip at 4 inches 8 inches and 10 inches, score down these lines, so that it looks like this

Step 2
On the first score line (4 inch line) make a small mark at 1 ½ inches from the top, also at 1 ½ inches from the bottom, them go to the last score line (10 inch line) and do the same here.
Cut with a craft knife, join using these marks as guides on the long side from 4 inch score to 10 inch score, at the top and bottom
See photo

Step 3
So again take your ruler and make small marks at the top and bottom at 6 inches.
Now we are going to make more score marks but only on the top and bottom 1½-inch margins at 6 inches, so score from your small mark to the cut line on the top then again on the bottom

Step 4
Crease the folds so that the card look like this, it is a bit fiddly so look at photos

Step 5
Taking pattern paper 1 stick the one of the large pattern papers to the front, and the second large one to the inside
Take the last of paper 1 and stick on other end. As in photos

Step 6
Take all your pattern papers 2 and stick them to the centre panels of the card.
Like this

This is the base card finished, sorry for all the cutting out but worth it I think.Now go and play, add your topper and embellishments, and see you later when you post your finished card

Here is mine finished

My New toy

Well here is a photo of whats come to live at my house, ordered it yesterday and came this afternoon, great service
So having a few hours getting it all set up to use Sure Cuts a Lot , i have managed to have a play. the first thing was the little bow and tag that you can see on the edge of the cutting mat in this photo then I got the hang of it, and just had to do the baby's name for a scrapbook page that I am doing

didn't show up to well in first photo on the cutting mat, so put some white card behind it.

love this Cricut and love the sure cuts a lot program, its very easy to use.

Thanks Christine for giving me lots of advice
