Happy Birthday Pop!

My inspiration for this card came from one of the cards in the new Cricut magazine. What a nice magazine! I haven't subscribed to it yet but I did manage to get the first issue and I really think it is well done.

For this 5x7 card I used:
Old West cartridge (for the number 80)
hemp twine
Hero Arts stamp
EK Success border punch
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Kraft cardstock
patterned paper from Imagine More Cards cartridge

After running the number 80 thru the Cuttlebug with a polka dot embossing folder, I used a sandpaper block to sand the raised areas.

Imagine Card

This Birthday card was made using the Imagine More Cards cartridge. I used the Swiss Dot embossing folder in the Cuttlebug to give the cake some texture.

Enjoy your weekend!

A Card for my Sweet Girl

How does 8 years go by so quickly? Wasn't it just yesterday that I was holding my baby in my arms? Now she's way too big to carry around! But I must say 8 is great! She is so much fun. And is becoming quite the crafter/cardmaker/ Cricuteer I might add.

Did you get in on any of the sale Cricut cartridges at Michael's these last few weeks? It was hard to resist - uh, so I didn't... The cartridge I used on this card was from one of those sale carts and it's called Sweet Treats. It was made using the card feature so it was quick and easy. I managed to wait till the day before her birthday to make the card so I'm glad it was fast to make. And since I used the Imagine too choosing the papers was a breeze. I used the Imagine More Cards cartridge for the patterned paper. I did have to make the "8" seperately (from Sweet Treats) and just glued it to the top of the candle that was on the cupcake card. It worked great.

Hope you enjoyed this simple card. Thanks for stopping by to take a look!
