Exploring Cricut and More - Happy Birthday

Good Morning! Today I have a birthday card I am sharing at Exploring Cricut and More. I can never have enough of these on hand and I wanted a clean look for this one.

I used my Gypsy to help me size the scallops from Plantin for an A2 card. I really like the look of aqua and red together. A nice combo that could be used for a guy or girl. I layered the scallops to the card front adding a gem and ribbon for some texture.

The sentiment cut beautifully from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake. There are quite a few different fonts to choose from on this cartridge!

Exploring Cricut and More - Father's Day Challenge

Hello! Glad you came over. It's a fun challenge at Exploring Cricut and More this week. You are to create a card, layout or craft for Father's Day. It will be here before we know it. I created a card using my Silhouette Cameo.

This is a fun card that came together in minutes. The base of the card was cut with white cardstock; so great to be able to write inside!

The top of the card opens just like a tool box. When adhering the black handle I left the red open a little at the top so the handle could slip inside. It makes for a nice finish at the back of the card. All the pieces for this card were cut to size for me making it super simple to assemble.

Exploring Cricut and More - Gift Card Purse

Hello and Happy Thursday! I'm sharing today at Exploring Cricut and More.  End of the school year is upon us with many graduations, including my youngest this morning, and teacher gifts.

 This cute little gift card really fits the bill. I created this using my Silhouette with a file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons. 

I used one of my favorite stacks from DCWV and added a Starbucks gift card. The file did have cuts to hold the card, but I chose to use glue dots instead. 

As you can see, the card fits very nicely inside. I used a glue dot, adhered to the flap, to close the purse together. This is also small enough to fit inside an A2 envelope if you wanted to send in the mail.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy your day!
