Neutral Inks for a Clean Look

To create a card with a clean, crisp look, use the dominant neutral color to stamp your sentiment.

Yo-Yo Accent

Create a trendy yo-yo element by accordion-folding a long strip of cardstock every 1/4", adhering the two ends together to make a circle, stitching the center with thread all the way around, and pulling the ends of the thread taut to create a yo-yo. Secure the center with a button to keep your yo-yo flat.

Polaroid Snapshot Technique

Create a Polaroid snapshot look by first cutting out a rounded-corner rectangle the size of your focal point.

Then, cut a larger rectangle around the negative space, creating the look of a Polaroid.

For example, if your subject is 3" × 2", cut a rounded 3" rectangle using the Cricut^® machine then discard the rectangle and keep the negative space, cutting that piece at 4" × 2½".

Add journaling to the empty white space at the bottom and attach it to the layout at an angle using 3-D foam tape.

You’ll now be able to create the Polaroid look for any kind of picture without needing a Polaroid camera!
