For those times you need a quick card that will fit in a standard business envelope try this:
I used sketch #31 over at Oriental Stamp Art (A wonderful Yahoo group devoted to Asian themed stamping) to make this quick card. I use color laser paper and alcohol ink to make the background and punched 1 1/4″ and 1 1/2″ squares to stamp on and mat. The stamps are from About Art Accents (my favorite place to find everything Asian!) and the cardstock is by Die Cuts with a view.
So the next time you don’t think you have time to make a handmade card give this sketch a whirl, it really couldn’t be simpler 😉 Happy Crafting!
Wow this is so vibrant!

i am so excited to find your blog! My husband bought a cricut for me a year ago and I was so excited to get using it, but soon I got frustrated because I want to do so much more with it and don’t know how. I am so interested in the SCAL you are talking about. Where did you purchase it? Does this make it so you don’t have to buy all the cartridges? Also, can you cut fabric with the cricut?
Can’t wait to hear back from you!’
Thanks!

Hi Sarah! You can bu SCAL right from the Craft Edge Website. That is where I got mine a year ago, get scal 2.0 if you have a PC or if you have a mac be sure to get the mac version. With scal you can cut nearly all of the fonts on your computer as well as the thousands of free fonts and dingbats online and the new scal you can even convert simple clipart to cut! You can also cut SVG files (there are a lot of free ones here on my blog 😉 I got scal a year ago and I love it, you will too!
