Birthday Card

My dad's birthday was last month and this is the card I made and sent to him.  I always struggle making masculine cards and I got the inspiration and scrap lifted this card from Creations with Christina.  This card uses the Mickey & Friends cartridge.  It's a 6 x 6" card.  The base of the card is kraft card stock.  The car is cut at 3" as are all the layers for the car.  I used some hemp twine to add a little texture and some glossy accents to the headlights and door handle.

I love how the card turned out!  I made this at the NSD All Day Crop I attended that a friend of mine, who is a Creative Memories consultant, hosted on 04/16/11.  It was such a hit, that last weekend while I was at a scrapbook retreat with my MIL and 2 other friends, who were also at the NSD Crop, they each ended up making a Father's Day card using this same Cricut cut.

Thanks for stopping by...Have a great day.

Get Well Soon Card

Well, I spent my Friday night cruising the web and Cricut message boards as well as making a Get Well card for a little girl about to undergo surgery. Below is a picture of the card I came up with. It's still pretty simple, since I'm still new to card making...but I'm really enjoying it. I made the card using my Cricut Mickey and Friends and Cuttin'Up Cartridges and the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. I also added some acrylic rhinestones to "bling" it up a bit.

Enjoy and feel free to comment. :)
