Basic Layering using the Cricut Expressions

I've had some requests for a video explaining the layering process using the Cricut. Most of the cartridges have layers. Some of the older cartridges have their layering as the two main cuts (base cut plus base cut using the shift key). This is so for New Arrival, Doodlecharms and Christmas Cheer. Then there are some cartridges that have only one layer button, like Joys of the Season, Once Upon a Princess, Locker Talk and Stretch Your Imagination. The licensed cartridges (Disney, Sesame Street etc.) have typically three layer buttons.
For this tutorial I used Create a Critter. This cartridge has three layer buttons. I hope this helps anyone who might be confused about layering and how to cut each layer.
thanks for watching!!

Tutorial #3 {Valentine Hanging Heart}

Tutorial #3 {Valentine Hanging Heart}

Supplies needed:
Cardstock {one piece 6x6, one piece 9x7}
Patterned paper {approx. 4x6}
Lace {25 inches}
Ribbon {8 inches}
Photos {small, no larger than 2 ½ by 2 ½}
Ink
Scallop deco scissors
Thread
Sewing machine
Embellishments {stickers, flowers, dymo etc}

Begin by cutting your heart out of cardstock, and then trace it onto the back of the larger piece of cardstock. Next cut with your scallop scissors around the heart shape on the larger piece of cardstock. Cut at ¾ to 1 inch out from the line you have drawn, this will give you a larger heart with scalloped edges (the base of your valentine).



Next take your smaller heart and your piece of patterned paper. Trace half of the heart on the back of the patterned paper and cut it out.

Glue the patterned paper onto the cardstock heart. At this point you can distress the heart and ink it, if you like.


Next turn your scalloped heart right side up and place your smaller heart on top of it. Lightly trace the smaller heart onto the larger scalloped heart. This will be the line you follow when you are placing the lace onto your heart.











Now it's the really fun part, time to embellish, so gather all your embellishments together.





All done a beautiful hanging valentine, perfect to hang in your house or to give to a loved one.
