Here's a little boy card that I made the other day while I was making the whoo do you love layout (see previous post). I love the look of nestabilities but budget just doesn't allow if I want to have any $$ to buy paper to cut, so here is my faux nestability look. Using my cricut I cut the marquee shape and another that was the same size, then I placed the border over it and sponged ink around the edges and bottom. It's a really easy and fun technique that I'm sure I'll be using agian and again.
I absolutely adore this card, hope you do too!
Supplies:

Cardstock: Cream from Michaels

Cute - I agree the nestabilities are way over priced and I find the cricut has the same cuts.
ReplyDeleteI use the marquee cut a great deal and am now thrilled to have another idea for its use. Your card is just perfect.
