Showers of blessing card made using the Cricut Lite Celebrate Flourishe cartridge

Hello, friends!! I hope you are all having great weeks! Anyone have a super fun weekend planned. Sadly, I do not. As a matter of fact lately I think I like the weeks days better than the weekends. How sad is that!

Anyway, today I have a card I made using another one of the Cricut Lite cartridges called Celebrate with Flourish. This cartridge is your one stop holiday stop. It is one of my favorites of the new releases.




I cut the sweet little umbrella(or brolly like my British husband calls it) at 3". I used the Basic Grey Kioshi line.



The stamp is from papertrey ink....how perfect is that sentiment!



I hope you all have fabulous weekends even if mine ends up being very boring ;-)

See you next week!!

  11. Melanie,

    What a great card!!! :) I am torn: I think Lacey Labels and Celebrate with Flourish are tied for first (out of the new releases)!

    Were the rain drops a stamp, too?

    Thanks so much & I hope you have a RELAXING weekend,

    Jennifer

    Boring weekend! Thought you'd like that after the mad crush of new carts you've been creating for! Nothing to do would look real good after that!

    It'll be fun but HOT!

  90. Beautiful Brolly! I have only been making cards now for about 2 weeks, so I would like to learn how to add color around the edges of the sentiment. It adds extra character.

  96. You have made such awesome cards again!! The brolly is just fab!

    Normally I respond to all your cards seperatly, but the last 3 weeks have been so hectic for me, I hardly have time to sit at the comp. My boyfriend found a cat-litter 3 weeks ago, and brought 2 little kittens home. I have been handraising them, and they are such cute little things. But they take up a lot of time!! Hopefully soon we find a good home for them, as they can't stay. We have 4 dogs, and 3 out of the 4 would like the kittens for breakfast :(

  97. What a lovely card! The sentiment is perfect and I love that paper!

    I just love this card, Melanie! You just gave me a great idea for embellishing my scrapbook pages of my friend's baby shower...thanks for sharing! I do have some fun plans for the weekend...we got invited to join some friends in Ocean City (the beach is about a 3 hour drive from where I live), and we all ride motorcycles, so it should be a really fun holiday weekend for us! Hope you have a great one, too.
