I&#8217;ve been learning the craft of electronic cutting machines, some of which is very trying and other times a joy! As my homemade card collection began to dwindle I decided I needed to make a few more cards to send to my friends, smile inserted here. In making all the cards shown on this post I used both the Cricut Expressions and my newer cutting machines my Silhouette Cameo. The Cameo has a larger learning curve of which I am gradually learning. It&#8217;s potential is much better than the Cricut, although I still love my Cricut. This first car card was made using the Fathers Day Lite Cricut Cartridge. This cartridge, though with fewer images than the larger cartridges, has great potential and I have had fun seeing what designs I could create with the images. </p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/celebrate-card-sympathy-card.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/celebrate-card-sympathy-card-300x168.jpg" alt="" title="celebrate card sympathy card" width="300" height="168" class="center" /></a><br />
Both of these cards were also made using my Cricut Expressions machine. The tree card on the left was made from the Serenade Solutions. It has become one of my favorite tree images because of the variety of leaves or flowers you can cut to place on the tree. The fleur-de-lis card on the right is from the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials, another favorite cartridge of mine. I&#8217;m fond of the simplistic design and soft colors. </p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/motorcyle-card-recliner-card.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/motorcyle-card-recliner-card-168x300.jpg" alt="" title="motorcyle card recliner card" width="168" height="300" class="center" /></a><br />
The motorcycle and recliner cards were fun to design. Both of these images are from the Fathers Day Lite Cartridge. I cut the motorcycle out of a shimmery line of papers from Wal Mart! </p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ninja-birthday-card.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ninja-birthday-card-168x300.jpg" alt="" title="ninja birthday card" width="168" height="300" class="center" /></a><br />
This ninja cut is from the Silhouette Store and a very simple cut to create and take up off the sticky mat. I wasn&#8217;t sure how to use it in a card, but eventually thought of the phrase on the inside which I think fits perfectly.</p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/peace-hippie-card-29-holding-card.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/peace-hippie-card-29-holding-card-168x300.jpg" alt="" title="peace hippie card 29 holding card" width="168" height="300" class="center" /></a><br />
I simply LOVE this hippie stamp that I bought from Stampin&#8217; EJ, who you can find on Facebook and at Deborah&#8217;s Cottage in Costa Mesa, The flourishes are from my Sizzix collection as are the flowers as well. I cut the numbers &#8220;29&#8243; with one of the font images on my Cricut Cartridge collection, I just don&#8217;t recall the exact one. </p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/silhouette-bd-card.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/silhouette-bd-card-300x168.jpg" alt="" title="silhouette bd card" width="300" height="168" class="center" /></a><br />
Another cut from the Silhouette Store, which may be one of my easiest cuts at that! I love how thees smaller images have a large impact. </p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/youre-a-classic.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/youre-a-classic-300x168.jpg" alt="" title="you&#039;re a classic" width="300" height="168" class="center" /></a><br />
This last car card is from the Silhouette on line store, and can be made in 2 ways. One as an image placed on top of a card, the other as a cut out car shape which is pretty adorable. And now back to my craft room&#8230;&#8230;. <img src='http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

I&#8217;ve been having such fun at StampinEJ&#8217;s classes in Costa Mesa that I just had to take a few more photos to show those who love to stamp the huge selection Eva has in her store within Debra&#8217;s cottage. She is always placing new orders, handing out discount bags, having teaching fun classes and making the whole learning process enjoyable that I can&#8217;t wait to see what she has lined up for the following week. </p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mary-and-linda.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mary-and-linda-300x225.jpg" alt="mary-and-linda" title="mary-and-linda" width="300" height="225" class="center" /></a></p>
<p>In this photo you can see the large area that Eva has devoted to her stamps and all things to do with stamps. The flip side of this wall is also covered with more stamps and goodies. She also has another section where she carries paper, some stickers and a few other fun items. Eva always has a discount bin where she has great prices on stamps, and other stamping or crafting items, so be sure and look for that. So much to do, so little time.</p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mary-and-linda-2.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mary-and-linda-2-300x225.jpg" alt="mary-and-linda-2" title="mary-and-linda-2" width="300" height="225" class="center" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve made a couple of friends who also go to the classes on Thursday. On the left is Linda, on the right Mary. Both ladies are such fun and bring their own personal stamping-crafting tool bags so they can work on their cards with ease. Smart thinking girls! </p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/stampinejcard.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/stampinejcard-300x200.jpg" alt="stampinejcard" title="stampinejcard" width="300" height="200" class="center" /></a></p>
<p>One of the cards we made this year! Such fun tags and extras. Eva has a blog, and a website so be sure and check it out! I made this cute card below out of a paperdoll stamp that I bought from Eva. I love her products!</p>
<p><a href="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sephia-paperdoll.jpg"><img src="http://patriciaafuller.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/sephia-paperdoll-225x300.jpg" alt="sephia paperdoll" title="sephia paperdoll" width="225" height="300" class="center" /></a></p>
