Cricut Cartridges:
DJ Inkers 'Tis the Season. I think the images work well in the red and purple colors.

Cricut Pen is Midnight Black. Pilot Precise V5 is used for the red.  I really like the pen work. 


I also made the Holiday Cheer card using a pretty plaid paper from The Paper Studio Very Merry paper pad. I added white dashes on the red ribbon with a white Gelly Roll pen. Love the looks on this one too!

Celebrate the Day  -  I received the digital cartridge in a purchased Cricut Digital Mystery Box some time back. I noticed that the cartridge is now available in Cricut Access.
