It's Lorrie here, and I'm back for another Weed It Wednesday. Today, I'm sharing a scrapbook layout I made.  Weeding isn't just about vinyl.  Sometimes, you weed backgrounds cut out of cardstock. I love to use a background lattice type of cardstock for the base of my scrapbook pages.  Using the Cricut Explore and/or Cricut Maker makes weeding a cinch.  It cuts cardstock like Butter! and... btw... who says you can't use all of those pretty pink Heidi Swapp "Favorite Things" leftovers on a boy layout?  This was one of my all time favorite collections and I still can't bring myself to get rid of the bits and pieces I have left. so.... what are you weeding today?

Hello everyone!  It's another Weed It Wednesday!  Today, I wanted to feature weeding with cardstock!  When we talk "weeding" our minds automatically go to vinyl or iron on. But, check out the weeding on this Mother's Day Card I created in Design Space.  Using the correct Cricut mat and settings really help cut down on the weeding.  I prefer to use the Blue Medium Grip mat for cardstock and the cardstock setting for my favorite Cricut Cardstock. If you'd like to make to make this card, I"ve got a step by step tutorial for you:

The beauty of Weed It Wednesday is not only do we get to share our vinyl projects, but also our iron on projects!  With the release of the Cricut Easy Press  making customized projects is easier than ever! I made a pick me up gift for a friend because I wanted to remind her just how fabulous she is! I used Cricut Metallic Iron On  in Silver for this shirt.  I love the metallic colors. What are you weeding today?
