Episode 187 - Pink Cuttlebug & Just Because Cards

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!


Thank you for stopping by my blog!  You will also want to check back tomorrow morning for a fabulous Cricut cartridge giveaway!!


For this project and video I wanted to show you the new "Pink" Cuttlebug from HSN.  Yes, this is the same one they had at CHA and although it looked more red than pink to me then, I can actually see a very rich pink in it.  I do eventually want the light pink one if it comes to the US but I am more than happy with my new one.



























For this project I used Cricut Just Because Cards Cartridge.  You all are going to love the versatility of this one cartridge!  There is just so much on it!



Recipe:

Just Because Cards Cricut Cartridge


Cuttlebug

Ribbon, ink, and some cardstock from Papertrey Ink

Other cardstock from Stampin' Up!

Cassandra said...

Adorable card! I wanted to ask if anyone else has this particular problem with their Cricut Expression. My circles cut slanted all of them, no matter what cart I use. Cricut sent me a replacement and it does the same thing. I have no idea what to do about this. My blade is tight, paper on new mat, any ideas? Have you ever had this happen? My blog has some pictures of the circles on it www.altered-for-him.blogspot.com you'll have to scroll down a bit. It's very annoying to have slanted circles. :(

Mimi Hornberger said...

OMGoodness! That is so cute! And you HAVE to tell me where to get that pink bone folder. Please!!!!

All of the new cartridges are so cute. Everytime I see a project I decided that will be the first cart I get. Until I see a project with one of the other new carts, then that is the first one I'll get. So confusing!!

BAHGL said...

Well, that is not the pink I was hoping for! I like the light pink one!
I do like the butterflies and swirls on it!

GrannyCharlotte said...

Robyn: I agree with you. Although this bug is lovely, I would like to see a lighter shade of pink. I didn't buy the one from HSN because I already have most of the embossing folders already and I don't think it is available anywhere else yet without the folders. Love the card you made.

Bugeyes said...

the cuttlebug is so cute especially the butterflies, your card is yummy,makes you want a pie like how you played with the card frame to get the look you wanted

What a cute card:)When I saw that "red" Cuttlebug for the first time, I just fell in love. Unfortunately they will not sell it in Europe but I called some friends in Alaska and they ordered it for me and will send it to me in Sweden:D. My Cuttlebug will become a real globetrotter:)
