Cricut Serenade: Home Decor Foiled Frame

This was so much fun and so easy to make.  So showed some of this Glue Foil by Streuter.com before, but today I used Black Foil and Pink foil to make this really easy and beautiful Picture frame.

The cartridge I used was from my new Serenade Cricut Cartridge.  The only other thing you need is something to apply the foil to and a way to heat the foil :)

    So shiny and pretty .Like you said so easy to make. Lucky you have the Serenade Cartridge! It looks like a beautiful cartridge.I’m hoping for it to be available to everyone. It’s going for outrages amounts of money on E-bay. Thanks for frame idea.

    What all can the foil be applied to? I guess I can’t think outside the box to see what else to do. Also what is the deal with the Serenade Cart? If it isn’t available then why does everyone keep showing videos using it?

    Wow this is so cool. I just found your blog. Where are you in PA I grew up and my family (except for me) are in Downingtown. I love your videos. I am signing up for emails and becoming a follower. I cant wait to see more videos on the gypsy.
    You have a wonder voice. It is so pleasant to listen too.
