Cricut gave me an Explore 3, so I made two cards with it!

Welcome to my channel. Cricut Australia + New Zealand sent me a Cricut Explore 3 and some wonderful products, so I made two cards with it. One is a rose and lace card with a drawn glitter background with 3D roses and the other is a Poinsettia Christmas card with a foiled background and a 3D poinsettia
This is a long video , so feel free to skip to the card you want to see.

Hello again Helen, it’s Stella Marie from New Jersey USA. Thinking of you and wanted to know that your doing ok. I’m also hoping that you have gotten back into creating some of your lovely cards. I do know about life getting in the way but just carve out some time to let your creativity blossom. Believe me at least it will give you some personal satisfaction and inner peace. Stay healthy and remember that God loves you.

Hi Helen, it’s been a long time, but It’s lovely to have you back with two gorgeous cards. What a wonderful generous gift from Cricut. I have had a Silhouette Cameo for years, but I love the look of the Explore 3 😍

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Nice to hear from you Mazz. I too have had an old Silhouette Cameo, one of the first I think, but am blown away at how much more intricate the cricut can do and so easy and intuitive to use!

Did you get your Cricut for free? If so, why? I had to pay for mine. If you got yours for free, how is that fair?
