I hope you all had a great weekend! It is already so very hot here in Dallas. At one point my car said it was 98 degrees. Apparently, summer is here. sigh...Have I ever mentioned how much I hate summertime in Texas? Not fun...not fun at all!
Today's card is made using the Elegant Edges cartridge. I was sitting in my room looking at my cartridges needing to make something, but had no idea what I was going to make. Then I remembered how great Elegant Edges is and rather quickly got a plan together. I love it when that happens!
 |
| The paper is from Echo Park. |
 |
| The stacked shapes are Spellbinders dies that I cut out using my cuttlebug. The I cut this butterfly out at 3/4" using the Elegant Edges cartridges. |
 |
| The stamp is from Papertrey Ink. |
Have a MAGICAL Monday!

Lovely card! I really do love it when it a card just comes together. I relate to Texas summers, I grew up in Florida and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I answered, "cold".
Beautiful card! TFS!

I've been looking for this cartridge for a long time (I guess since it's been out). Don't want to order it, but may have to. Sweet sweet card!
I have to make my hubbie an anniversary card (48th) for Wednesday so I hope mine comes together like yours. Florida is hot too but I like it better than cold. TFS!!

Beautiful card. Love the colors.
I live in Texas too but enjoy the heat. I'm originally from Canada where it was always cool except for maybe six weeks in the summer and even then it wasn't hot like here. When it gets too hot I think about having to shovel snow...makes the heat not so bad. lol Have a great day.
Lovely card. I is wonderful when things just flow and come together for a card! ~Gin~
Love my Elegant Edges cartridge! There are so many uses for it. Really like how your card turned out. Thanks for all your inspiration!
Thank you so much for the chance to win an amazing craft box. You and Joy are the best
Beautiful card! I feel you on these hot Texas summer days. If the weather now is a prelude on what to expect this summer I will never go outside.
Beautiful card. Have to get me that cartridge.
Such a pretty card. Elegant Edges looks like a great cartridge to have. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful card. I love the color combination that you used.

I love all your cards and ideas. You always get me interested in another of the cricut cartridges.
This is a really beautiful card. I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty card Melanie. Love the paper!
Yes - summertime in Texas is NOT fun. I totally agree. UGH. At least you are getting rain! Please be so kind as to send some down to Houston!
Beautiful card. Love the colors. Around here, I would welcome warmer and drier weather.
So very cute card. I love it!
You should do a tutorial on tying bows! Beautiful!
Cute card. Really came together well. TFS
Great card...that cart is on my list!!!
Love this card. Good reminder too on those days when we need a little boost.
I really like this card. I haven't bought this cartridge. Thanks!!
Bee-utiful card. Especially like the butterfly. I would like to know what Spellbinders dies you specifically used for the stacked layering. I have some but do not have those. I'm working on a Father's Day card for my hubby using Handyman Cricut Lite cartridge and asked my hubby for some actual 1 1/2" nails to use. He wantedt o know why I needed the nails but of course I could not tell him. After last night's storm it is suppose to be in the 80s by this afternoon here in Central TX
this card is beautiful!! I love it!

Everyday is a gift. Thank you for making this card. Our little church just lost a wonderful young lady to suicide. We all need to remember that EVERYDAY IS A GIFT.

I really like the gems you used on the butterfly!
Beautiful card!!! I love Elegant Edges.
What a darling card! I have elegant edges cart on my list of one of the next ones to buy. Thanks for sharing all your fabulous creations.
What a fabulous card!
Another cartridge to add to the list. I agree with the weather. I live in NC but thought I would melt over the weekend. I wish I lived near you so we could share.
Your ideas never cease to amaze me...wish my brain worked that way! Thanx for sharing your talent with all of us.
That's a really pretty card. I was looking at the edges of the layers and trying to figure out where the "Elegant Edges" were when I read that the butterfly was from Elegant Edges!
Another lovely card with great color choices and your doodling. How do you mail these bulky cards?
Pretty card. Love the paper (EP is at the top of my list). I didn't realize Elegant Edges has a butterfly. Need to go back to the manual and see what else I'm missing.
I love your card. Your colors and patterns on the papers look so great together. I cam never get different patters just right together. What is your trick?
So cute! Love the card!

Very nice card. Keep safe there in Dallas.
Beautiful! I love the mix of pattern paper :0). Have a blessed day!!!

I love all you card layouts and am so inspired to try my hand a new things I didn't think I could accomplish. Thank you sooooo much.

Such a pretty card with so many nice details! Thanks for sharing!
I am leaving my comment in regards to the Rewind on some of your cartridges, that also came today. I have the Cindy Loo cartridge you featured and the Wall Decor and More. Many of the ones I have bought have been because of seeing projects you have posted using them. I love getting these e-mails and have tried using a number of the card ideas using yours as guides. I would love to win that goody box. The 2 cartridges are both ones I don't have. One can always hope. Lynda
What a lovely thought on a lovely card. Thank you for sharing.
Back again. Do like this card. Have filed the idea using the 2 background papers in my idea file. You folks got me started on doing cards and I am having a ball doing them. Lyn
Beautiful Card, That I'm Excited About Purchasing The Elegant Edges Cartridges.

Your card is beautiful
It was 95' at 5 pm yesterday in the Charlotte, NC area. Today it is suppose to get hotter. Ugh! I have so liked the 70's or even the 80's. I don't like the very cold (grew up in MN) or the very hot (lived 10 years in FL.). I wish there was a happy medium all year round.
Love the card and love the Toy Story layouts!
