Artiste Happy Happy Birthday card

Hello, friends!

Thank you all so very much for the sweet comments about my room. It is a place in which I spend a lot of time and I love it very much! Once my curtains come, I will post pics of them as well. At some point, I should make a decision about what color I will paint the room. My guess is it will be some shade of aqua or yellow. I will keep you posted.

Ok, I did get a question about my Cricut cartridge storage. I use Snapware Snap 'n Stack Ribbon Dispenser 2 Layers. I put the actual cartridge in the smaller compartment and the overlay and booklet in the larger one. This is the best way I have found to store your cartridges if you have a lot. If I had my way, I would have them still in their boxes on a shelf. That is how I stored them for years and loved it. Being able to easily look and see what you have is always ideal. However, when cartridges were coming out at a crazy rate, I had to find a space conscious option. 

Now onto the project. This card is made using the Artiste cartridge, Ariana paper pack, and a couple of new stamp sets. If you like Anna Griffin, you are going to want this paper pack! I love love love old vintage looking floral patterns and this paper packs has a gorgeous one! There is also a stamp set (called Pick A Posey)in the catalog that compliments this paper pack well. I plan on using it to design some pretty stamped paper!

One of the stamp sets is called Big Top and coordinates with the Artiste cartridge. When I first saw it, I knew it had much greater potential than what was represented in the catalog. For example, who thought this would go well with a floral project?

I love this patterned paper so much! Anything vintage looking with cabbage roses on it, makes me very happy!

I stamped the flowers on a scratch piece and hand cut them out. Then tucked them behind the circle.
