Cricut 25th Birthday Card

Hello, friends!

Happy Monday to all of you! 

My baby brother turns twenty five this week! We are thirteen years a part, so I remember when he was just a little baby. He has turned into such a wonderful young man. I hope he likes this card!

This week over at the Bitten By the Bug blog we were asked to make a shaped card. I love making my own using Design Space, so it was just a matter of finding a fun shape!

For this card, I used the Celebrate! Decorate! cartridge and chose one of the banners. Then, I welded the two of them together at the top and scored it at that junction. Voila! The font used is from the Martha Stewart Seasonal cake cartridge. It is an old one, but this font was just perfect!

If you have a Cricut Explore, here is the file: Cricut 25th Birthday Card

If you do not have an Explore, this card is hard to make. However, here are the sizes:
25 - 1 1/2"
card shape - 10"
celebrate shape - 4"

Cricut Artfully Sent St. Patrick's Day card

Thanks again, everyone for taking the surveys. I really do want to keep you happy and coming back! 

Today, I have another St. Patrick's day themed card. This one was made for this week's Bitten By the Bug 2 challenge. 

I made this card using the Close To My Heart Artfully Sent cartridge and the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge. I played around with a lot of sentiments from a bunch of cartridges, but this one looked the best. Those Martha cartridges are really wonderful ones to have!

If you have a Cricut Explore, here is the file: Cricut Artfully Sent St. Patrick's Day card

If you do not have a Cricut Explore, here are the sizes:
sentiment (Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake cartridge) : 2.25"
four-leaf clover card front (Artfully Sent): 4.5"

The rainbow and clouds are stamped images from the Rain or Shine stamp set. I stamped them and then colored them with markers. This card just needed something and the rainbow totally topped it off! Love this stamp set!

Stamp storage labels using the Imagine and All Wrapped Up cartridge.

Hello, friends!!
