Cricut Imagine Photo Frame Bird Gift and Imagine Nation Monday

Emma at My Creative Time asked me to be a Guest today for her Imagine Nation Monday series.  Woo hoo!  I adore Emma, so of course I said, “Yes!”  I’m so glad she asked me because it gave me a reason to get back to my Imagine.

I used the Lori’s Garden Cricut Imagine cartridge, white cardstock, some adhesive and a $3 photo frame from Walmart to create a quick gift for my husband’s aunt who loves birds.  You can see I also stuck some of the birds to one of those containers that I previously turned into a hurricane lamp.  It’s perfect for adding some flowers!  Here’s the link to the hurricane lamp video.

I used white cardstock and Lori’s Garden to create that awesome paper!  It still blows my mind that I can create cool paper from white cardstock using my Imagine.  I used that for the background in the frame.

I’m using an ATG gun (tape gun) to make this project much faster and easier!

I didn’t use the make paper function on my Imagine because I don’t have any 12×12 white cardstock.  So, I used one of the shapes that are part of the Imagine’s contents and filled that shape with the pattern I wanted.  Later, I chose an actual square since those rounded corners weren’t the best choice.

These birds are right off of the Lori’s Garden Cricut Imagine cartridge.  That cart has some pretty backgrounds.

I bought some paper very similar to that cursive background from Stampin Up.  I LOVE that I can make it! 😀

Thanks again to Emma for having me as an Imagine Nation Monday guest on her blog today!
