<p>Of course I cut it in <a href="http://www.craftedge.com/products/products.php?rfid=4291406&amp;ref=c05943995fc9e9df4a0b0672d997478d">SCAL </a>using my Cricut but it is easy enough you cut the base of the card by and too and you will find this bracket card very versatile. I&#8217;ve used it for many designs. Here are the templates:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/73114218/7cd91ae/bracketcardprint.html">Print and cut version</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/73117555/aea917c/bracketcard.html">bracket card scut file</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/60210692/dc7ca59e/bracket4.html">Bracket frame SVG file</a> (you need to have this in order to use the scut file, this is also the bracket frame on the front of the card.)</p>
<p>The cute deer file is available at <a href="http://dscrapbookingroom.blogspot.com/2008/09/scrapbooks-etc-paper-piecing-patterns.html">Denise&#8217;s blog</a>.</p>
<p>The butterfly is from a dingbat font and the label is from the cricut cartridge &#8220;Home Accents&#8221;.</p>
<p>Here is a card I made with the scraps.</p>

<p>Now for the deals:</p>
<p>Wal Mart will have the Cricut Expression for $199 on Black Friday.</p>
<p>Jo-Anns will have the Original Cricut for $99 Friday-Sunday and cartridges for $37. The flyer did not say &#8220;while supplies last&#8221; so if you want something you should be able to get a raincheck.</p>
<p>I am planning a day of crafting with my kids tomorrow (no school) and perhaps I&#8217;ll share some of our creations..that is if they are not going to be Christmas gifts (we wouldn&#8217;t want to spoil the surprise!) And I found a great website that I want to share with you full of freebies and crafty goodness so stop back tomorrow. Until then happy crafting!</p>
