These were all done using my Cricut.. I LOVE my Circut Now that it's winter in the frozen tundra of Michigan, it's hard to get good pictures without the sun.
Once the characters were finished, I covered them with crystal lacquer. It seems to even out the image. Some of the cuttings are so small it's hard to get them to look normal and the lacquer really helps. All of the characters are raised with foam tape on their respective cards.
TFL!

I'm speechless, Dianne, which doesnt happen too terribly often! Now that the shock of seeing so many beautifully crafted cards in one photo has passed, I have to tell you these are so amazing! I'm now left to wonder if I should move the tundra area next door to you! Oh my gosh, these are so gorgeous! your papers, your design are all so special and so unique. These are fabulous cards, Dianne.

Omigosh! These are FUN-tastic!! My DH is a HUGE Disney fan, so I'm going to show him these when he gets home. He especially loves Donald and will get such a kick out of your Donald card. 'Course, I'm his Daisy! LOL! I wonder if this would get me a Cricut....hmmmmmm.....
Beautiful work, Dianne! Each one is fabulously colored and detailed!
(I see you live in Michigan, too! Are you tired of the snow, cold, and slippery roads yet?)
