Hello Card

This month's “Create the Rainbow” promotion is so much fun! I love the variety of projects you can make with the colorful cardstock on sale. For this card I embossed the cute Flowering Alphabet letters on different colored cardstock with White Embossing Powder and then trimmed out the letters with my Micro-Tip Scissors. I cut the card base at an angle and use the gold glitter heart border from the Happy Moments Compliments pack over the edge. I added a small single heart on the bottom inside of the card which also came from the Happy Moments Compliments pack. 

Color makes me happy and this card...well, it makes me happy too.

Floral Cricut Card

I came across this sweet card while looking for inspiration to make a simple “all occasion” card. I didn't have the die used on the original card, so I created a file in Design Space using images from the Flower Market Cricut cartridge. Here is a link to the DS file.

I embossed the sentiment (from a retired stamp set called A Bunch of Love) with Versamark ink and  White embossing powder. I ended up giving the card to my mom for Mother’s Day. It’s not as cute as the original card, but my mom loved it, so that’s what counts. Right?

Happy Mother's Day!

Wishing all of you fellow Mamas out there a very Happy Mother's Day!
