My daughter has culinary Art this semester and decided to create a folder for her, using the Kitchen Cartridge.
This cartridge is loaded with everything you could possibly need to create a beautiful invitation.
If you are a business owner of a restaurant, this cart will come in handy..
Here's the simple folder I created, I brought this folder from Walgreen for .09 cents..
In less than 5 mtes I was able to alter it, using the Cricut and the Cuttlebug machine..

Let's begin!
1. Cut the image, and title of your choice, use the cuttlebug machine to add texture
2. Cut the paper 1/2 shorter than the folder to leave a small border of the folder.
3.Adhere the die cuts and add ink and stickles if desired, voila all done..

Cricut Machine, My kitchen cart, Cuttlebug machine, Victoria embossing folders.
Ranger Stickle, Colorbok ink, Papers from Provo Craft, Uhu Glue.
