Birdcage Thank You Card Using Cri-Kits & Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed.....check back soon for another chance to win some more goodies!!

A couple of weeks ago, I attended the Scrapbook USA Expo in Sandy, Utah and I got to meet some wonderful people (see the post HERE).  I also met the awesome people in the Cri-Kits booth and they gave me a set of pens to try out.  Cri-Kits is a company that has developed a gel pen holder that goes inside your Cricut and you can draw with it....they worked wonderfully and the gel pens were so smooth....no skipping at all.  I used my Gypsy for placement with the drawing and cutting.

You just insert the Cri-Kits gel pens inside the holder (there is a little magnet that pulls in and holds the gel pens in place).  I used the Metallic gel pens on my card.

Next, I replaced the blade housing with the Cri-Kits holder.  After you are done drawing, you can unload your mat if you don't intend to cut around the image you drew, but if you want to cut around it, like I did on the bird cages or the label on my card, Do NOT unload your mat.  You will want to place a piece of scratch paper under the pen (to keep the pen from marking your paper) as you carefully unscrew the holder and replace it with the blade and blade housing.

Return to your image and continue with cutting around your images and then assemble your card.

I also drew out this title for a scrapbook page and colored it in with red stripes.  I used the Lyrical Letters for the font.

Guess what?!?  Cri-Kits has offered to give away TWO sets of the Cri-Kits gel pens with a carrier on my blog.
