Friendship card using the new Country Life Cricut cartridge

Hello, friends!!

I hope you liked the new releases! There are some pretty good ones this time for sure! Provo Craft have really up'ed their game as far as cartridges go!

Today I have card that I made using the NEW Country Life Cricut cartridge. This cartridge has some great images on it. Not only that I have seen tons of paper recently that have farm images, so it is very trendy right now too.



I cut the image out at 3". The paper used is Doodlebug.



this stamp is from Papertrey Ink.



I added a little white stitching with my white Signo Uniball pen.

  9. Like your choice of paper ~ but then paper is over 50% of it, right? I too like the white pen and had to get one recently. Adds so much!

  49. Wow!! They just keep'em coming don't they. I was wondering when I was going to hear someone talk about these new releases. I just figured everyone else was at CHA. I think these new releases are all so fabulous. Winter Frolic is my least fav. so far, but I am sure you will convince me in no time that I am wrong and will have to have this one also. But, I am excited about your Hello Thursday giveaway. I never picked up Destinations or Independance Day yet. Maybe I'll get lucky.
