Cricut Toadally Cool Card

Hello, friends!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

Today's Bitten By the Bug challenge called for a project with a frog on it. I had no idea what to do with this. Frogs are definitely not in my wheel house. As a lover of puns and cute phrases, I thought I would start with a sentiment and work my way to the frog. 

The frog was cut from Live Simply and the shape on which he sits is from Artiste. The sentiment was stamped using two font stamp sets. 'Toadally' was stamped using the Glamour Lowercase stamp set. 'Cool' was stamped with A Typeface. I never thought I would start making my own sentiments like this. It is starting to really grow on me! It used to be a daunting task, but I am starting to get the hang of it. 

If you have an Explore, here is the file: Cricut Toadally Cool Card

butterfly sympathy card made using the Live Simply cartridge.

Hello, friends!

I hope you all are finding some inspiration this week. Know that all of these cards could be easily transformed into thank you. birthday, wedding, or just because cards. Most of them would just need a different stamp.

Today's card is made using the Live Simply Cricut Lite cartridge. This cartridge is so versatile and fun. It is one that I gravitate to every time I think of using the lites. It really is suitable for almost any occasion...even sympathy cards!

The butterfly was cut at 2 1/4".

I added brown pearls called opaques that I purchased from Close To My Heart. I feel they add a lot!

The stamp is from Papertrey Ink.

 Thanks for stopping by today!
