I spend a lot of time sewing and baking but papercraft is where it all started for me. Every now and again I come across a project that unearths that love for card and paper and this is one of them!
After scrolling through Cricut Design Space I found this beautiful framed layered Rose art by Anna Griffin and just had to give it ago.
So, with a project in mind, I raided Hobbycraft for supplies:
I picked up a 10 x 10 inch Shadow frame ( I prefer these to the box frames). A range of 12x12 card in pinks, greens and glitter card. I love the card that has a slight texture to it. I opted for silver glitter for the background instead of the champagne the design suggests.
I also used the greens from this Hobbycraft Bright Colour Spectrum Paper Pad (A4 24 Pack). These packs are amazing and great value, if you're lucky you can find them on offer. They have various packs in different colourways and effects, including foil, glitter and even marble so well worth stocking up on.
Cricut Design space makes it super easy! It lays everything out for you and takes you through every step of the project. Once all the layers have been cut simply layer them together in the right order and stick together using sticky foam squares. The foam squares create the depth which makes this project pop!
Once all stuck together, place it in the frame and its done! This would make a beautiful present for someone especially for Mother's Day or it would be great decor for Valentines Day.
This project is the first one I've done of this kind. I'm blown away by how easy Cricut makes it. To make it from scratch and papercut this kind of project with a craft knife would have taken hours and hours! You mostly see vinyl being the main material used when looking at Cricut projects on YouTube and blogs. But Cricut is a game changer for papercrafts! I'm definitely going to make a few more of these!
