Daisy with Ribbon and Diagonal Stripe Thank You

The latest in my list of 3 1/2" x 5" thank you cards.

 

 

This one uses a diagonal stripe in pink with white and dark turquoise. The flower is cut from Walk in My Garden at approximately 1 1/2".  I cut two daisies and then layered them on top of each other to make the flower fuller. Before placing the paper on the white card base, I added the ribbon and secured it to the back of the paper. A pink gemstone and a tag stamped with Thank you complete this easy and sweet card. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by.

Lady Bug Thanks

Can you ever have enough thank you cards? I seem to go through these like crazy. Not only do I use a lot, but I also give many as gifts. The cute lady bugs on these are from the  Walk in my Garden cartridge from Cricut. This is the border feature cut at approximately 1 1/2 inches. I placed the three on the diagonal. The white with black pattern is from a Recollections pack of black and white 8 1/2" x 11" papers. Hope you enjoy these sweet bugs.

Envelope Birthday Card, Part 7 of Recent Cards

In the vein of using a Cricut image to replace a Stampin' Up product I don't have, I created this very different but nice masculine birthday card.

I started with an image from (you guessed it) Pinterest. Thanks to splitcoaststampers for the inspiration.

 

My card is an gray A2 card. I added two sets of mats, using a gray/black polka dot and white. The larger white mat is 4 1/16 x 5 5/16". The larger dotted mat is 3 7/8 x 5 3/8" . The smaller white mat is 4 1/2" x 3 1/4", the smaller dotted mat is 4 5/16" by 3 1/16".  I cut the 2" envelope with the Walk in My Garden cartridge and used a Paper Studio cupcake embossing folder. To help the embossed cupcakes pop from the page a bit, I once again used some ink (silver) on a foam spouncer brush. A Studio 112 stamp added just the right sentiment to this birthday card.

 

Have a Cricut? Use it to improvise for the things you don't have.

I'm Bananas for You

It's a Valentine for my husband, but you could easily use it to show your love anytime. The cute monkey is from the Sweethearts cartridge. Thanks for coming by. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

JOY Card for Freshly Made Sketches #36 contest

http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

Using the #36 sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, I created this card. The base is a 4" x 5 1/2" white card.  I used a dark teal card stock as the first mat, and a burgundyish / dark red with pastel polka dots as the next mat (each cut 1/4" smaller than the prevoious layer).  Small squares mimic the mats.  I added a small pink heart to each.  The larger frame also has the teal and the polka dots.  To top it I added a dimensional flower bouquet sticker from Sandy Lion and cut a flower vase from a lighter teal using Cricut "Walk in My Garden."  For the sentiment I stamped "JOY" on a small white banner. I removed the pink bow from the flower bouquet sticker and replaced it on the neck of the vase.  Hope you like it.
