Today I have a fun and uplifting card I made using the Close To My Heart Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge. I has a simplistic look, but I like it. You could easily add glitter or patterned paper to it though and it would still be pretty darn cute!
One thing that I should point out. I must have not scored it exactly, because the darker blue color is showing down the side. However, I really love how that mistake added a pop of color and fun to the card. Don't be so hard on yourself when you mess up, ladies. Add a button or a sequin and move on!

What a super cute and fun card!!
How perfect that you created this card and might fine job you did girl love the colors and all of your super clever and creative ideas after you have to know what Bright Ray of Sunshine you are in all of our lives. YOU so ROCK!!
I thought that was the way it was supposed to look, before you said it folded a bit off! Great job, and I love the colors.
Like the combo of Sun theme & Hot Air Balloon.

Thank you for sharing this great card with us and sending sunshine! It's a grey, damp day here so just looking at your card brought sunshine my way!
Very cute and cheery inside and out.
When we make a mistake it only shows that it is homemade. I love it.

Oh, what a beautiful card! Love the dark blue cardstock on the right - it's perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow!!! You really know when to post these cards. We've been having such great weather. Nice enough to enjoy a hot air balloon ride with a warm and sunny day. TFS!
That is a really beautiful, happy card! Thanks for the advice about moving on when you make a mistake. I need to remember that instead of redoing the whole thing!
very cute card.
Cute card! I love your advice to embrace those things that don't turn out quite like we expect. I would never have thought the pop of blue was anything other than a great design choice!
Cute card! In crafting, I've learned sometimes the mistakes are the best additions! LOL
Like the colors, love the balloon and the combo you did.
Hello Melanie,
Another cute card. I am having fun with my new cartridge as well. Thanks for sharing.

Love love love!!! And figuring out how to work around your mistake....genius. I'm convinced we crafters are brilliant because we HAVE to think our way out of a jam so as not to waste supplies. Amiright ladies? LOL

Ahhh...I love the hot air balloon popup you created inside your card. Our community had a hot air balloon festival the first of September and we had one land on our front lawn. They are soooo huge! You don't realize it from the ground when you are looking up.
Thanks for sharing this fun and uplifting card. Beautiful work! :)
