Just Because Cards Episode #7: Chick Card

Finally…I had some problems with today’s video…Let’s just say I found a reason to use my Pick Card…I was in a pickle last night and this morning with today’s video…First I accidentally deleted the video and had to redo the whole thing and then early this morning when I uploaded it to YouTube I discovered I made some mistakes in editing…

We’re off to Track and Field today at Ethan’s school. It’s gonna be 90 degrees…YIKES lots of water and sunblock….
Here we go….

Enjoy…..

Just Because Cards Episode #5: Gumdrop Card

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today we are working on card #5. I pulled out a pad of DCWV paper for today’s card. It’s from the Farmer’s Market collection and I like how it came out. I wasn’t certain when I was looking at it in the manual, but once I choose my pattern paper, it came together. Hope you like it….
Here is today’s video….
Also I just had to share this picture from Ann W. She such a sweetheart. Ann doesn’t have a blog, but wanted to share her Rooster Card with me. So I asked if she wouldn’t mind if I posted her project on today’s post. I think she did a fantastic job. She used the Classic K (K&Co) paper collection for her rooster card.
Here’s Ann’s Card
Have a great Tuesday…
Don’t forget to share your projects below. Look I actually remembered today:)

Just Because Cards Episode #4-Wagon Card

Oh I love this one….Today we are working on the Wagon Card…I didn’t want to make this the traditional “red wagon” card, so I used the mat pad by Carolyn Gavin called “Greenhouse”. I think I got it from Michael’s, but I’m not 100% sure…Everything was cut at 4-3/4 in. except for the sticker on the envelope which was cut at 1-1/2 in.

Here is today’s video…

Lovin’ this Rooster….

Today we are working on the Rooster card….LOL I thought this one was going to be hard for me to come up with a design, but it kinda just came together as I was picking out the papers.

Here is the video…

Under “Video Series” at the top you will find the first two videos in the JBC series…

Hope you have a great day….I’m heading out the door to volunteer at my son’s school.

Just Because Cards Video Series: The Basics

Happy Monday..

Today starts a new video series. “Just Because” Cards Cricut Cartridge..Here is a video on the basics to get you started….
Just a few things to note on the series…
1. As I was working with the cartridge I found that not all of the envelopes work with the cards like it says in the manual. So I made a file that you can download and use as a guide….
Please note this file is just at it’s beginning stages and will probably need to be updated as we go through the series….
2. The first video in the series will take you step-by-step on how to cut your images on the Cricut all the way through assembly…90% of the videos following will only be assembly (I may toss in one or two step-by-steps as we go)

3. There will be one video (Episode #3) showing how to use the “Just Because” Cards using your Gypsy.

4. If you have any questions please email me (creationswithchristina@yahoo.com). I thought it would be helpful to everyone if we created a separate post with “FAQ’s” on this cartridge. You can also follow along on Facebook HERE

5. I will be adding a link to each post so you can share your creations on the project we are working on that day. It’s just for fun and I hope you will join us…

I think I covered everything….

Have a great day….and tune in tomorrow for Episode #1 in the JBC series….

Hugs,
