I recently was given a Cricut Air, which I have used to take my crafting to the next level. For a while I was into making embossed paper using the pernambuco technique -- basically embossing by hand. However, this was very labor intensive and it took forever to get a finished product. Now that I have a Cricut and Cuttlebug creating great looking products takes a fraction of the effort. It took a while to get a hang of the Cricut Design Space, but after a few test projects I finally got the hang of it.
My mom had some old Victorian Die-Cuts of Cats, and I purchased some of flowers to elaborate my projects. Living in an historic house from the 1800s, I really like the Victorian aesthetic, especially after the long cold winter we have had this year.
For both projects I used the Cuttlebug to emboss paper, and then highlighted the image by inking it with a brayer. The image at the top also includes boarders and frames cut using the Cricut Air. Lastly I added some ribbon, pearl, and rhinestones accents to give it some bling.
