Happy Birthday Mom!

This card was made with tons of love for my best friend - my mom! I love the colour theme I chose for this card, it is soooo pretty!  I used my Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Art cartridge and I love it! There are tons of possibilities with this cartridge - borders, phrases and lots more. I also used Paper Lace for the first time - this is quite a functional cartridge as well - a gorgeous font, and lots of shapes that can be welded into cards by using a gypsy.

Supplies:
Cricut "Paper Lace" Cartridge (Lace 2 and Lace 2 shadow cut @ 4)
Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Art Cartridge (Butterfly cut @ 2)
Corner Rounder
Black pen for faux stitching
i-Rock and crystals
Ribbon
Black, Pink, Grey and Patterned Paper
Ranger Stickles in Black Diamond
Recollections Value Pack Blank Cards and Envelopes in Black

Happy 4th Birthday Card !

Here's another little girl's birthday card using one of my newest favourite cartridges I received for my birthday: Birthday Bash!

Supplies:
Cricut Birthday Bash Cartridge (Ladybug cut @ 3.5)
Tag cut @ 2
Postage stamp cut at 5
White Uni-Ball Signo pen for faux stitching
Jillibean Soup Twine
Elmers Red Glitter
Scrappy Mom Stamps "Simple Sentiments" Collection
Kraft, Brown, Dark Pink, Baby Pink, White, Black, Red, Blue and Green Cardstock

For this card, I felt that using Elmers glitter would be appropriate.  Although my favourite all-time glitter is Martha Stewart, Elmers glitter is chunky and child-ish looking (to me) and in my opinion looks like tiny sequins...I love it!

Happy Birthday Giselle! (Card)

As most of you know, it was not only my birthday this month, but Giselle's too! We have so much in common, I think we were meant to become friends :) Giselle just recently got a Cricut Imagine machine for her birthday. And for her gift, I really wanted to help her out and build her Imagine cartridge library. I thought "Better Together" would be an appropriate cartridge to get her since you can use it for many occassions!  In fact, I have this cartridge as well and used it to create her birthday card.

Supplies:
Kraft, Blue and White Cardstock
Blue satin ribbon
Blue Sticky Jewels (for this project, I used Elmers)
Twine
Stickles
Adhesive

Happy Birthday Giselle, I wish you many, many more!
xoxo, Nadia
