Welcome to Lori’s Blog. Today, I’d like to tell you some of my little tricks for sprucing up my digital cut files.   I start by importing the SVG file into my Cricut Design Space just as is.   (Make sure to attach your score lines to each piece after ungrouping the design.)   The cutting on these files is really easy.  Just choose your paper colors and the Cricut Explore prompts you when to change the paper.

Here are all the pieces cut.

Now to personalize it a bit!  To add a little dimension to the background pieces,  I used a bubbles embossing folder.   Because the paper was larger than the folder I ran it through twice moving the paper to cover the whole piece.

I used a background wave stamp to add to the wave cuts with a white unicorn ink.  This gives it more of an ocean feel!

Now for some sparkle!  I used some Nuvo glimmer for the mermaid’s tail!

It’s easy to customize your cards, just add a little ink,  Stickles and/or glossy accents to dress up your pieces!

Thanks for stopping by..
