SYMPATHY CARD

This card was made using plain card stock and

scraps from my stash.  The card is 5 x7 and 

the pieces were cut as follows:

Card Base

 10 x 7 inches scored at 5 inches

the navy layer is 4 3/4 x 6 3/4

the light blue layer is 4 1/2 x 6 1/2

1 piece of grey ribbon 5 inches

Card Panels (pp = patterned paper)

(grey) 2 1/4 x 4 3/4  (pp) 2 x 4 1/2

Inside Layers

(navy) 4 3/4 x 6 3/4

Instead of ribbon on the inside, I used a

piece of the card stock that was layered 

on the front.  The piece was cut at

1/2 inch x 4 1/2

Inside sentiment by Verve Stamps

THE LITTLE THINGS YOU DO

This card was created using the print then cut

feature on the Cricut Maker (you can also use

 any Cricut machine from Explore and higher

higher.  I used plain white card stock and a

 digital paper pack called 

Moments, by Nitwitt Collections

PULL UP CARD

I found this card floating around YouTube.

I am not sure of the original creator, however, I will link

to the tutorial that I used to create it.  It looks very involved,

but it is quite simple to make.

Give this card a try.  It's so much fun!

BIRTHDAY CARD

This card was made using the Cricut Explore.  The wine bottle

 and glasses, and the corner embellishments.  The sentiment

was written by the Cricut as well.  It was simple and quick!

FOLDED CHRISTMAS TREE CARD

This card was inspired by Pinterest, but I thought it was a very simple card to try.  It's been a while since I blogged, so I wanted to do something simple to get back into the sing of things.  I used scraps from a 6 x 6 paper pack from Pebbles Inc., called Welcome Christmas.  I also used an embossing folder from Stampin' Up, called Softly Falling and plain white card stock.

This is another version of the same card.  It's a little rustic, however, it is still Christmas paper.  The paper is Timbergrove, by Fancy Pants Designs. There is a YouTube video from MayMay Made it, with complete instructions, however, she too states that she found it from someone on Pinterest.   

CHRISTMAS BELL

I made this card using my Cricut Explore 

and the Sleigh Bell Embellishment #ME2EF41

from Anna Griffin Cards and Embellishments 2

 Cartridge.  The card base is 10 x 7, scored in

 half at 5" to create a 5 x 7 card.  The white

layer is cut at 6 3/4 x 4 3/4.  I added an 

accent of silver sequins for a little sparkle.

SYMPATHY CARDS

I created this card using the Cricut Explore.

I used the Anna Griffin Flourish Cards

and Embellishments cartridge.   I used 

an Embellishment (#M1BD487) from the

 cartridge and sliced it into a basic shapes

square (#M369896).  Be sure to resize

your basic square to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

'Slice Feature' on the Explore.

The smaller panels were cut at 2 x 3 and

1 3/4 x 2 3/4.  They were layered together

and a piece of ribbon was tied around it

to form a bow.  The sentiments are from

Close To My Heart and the name of the

set is called Sincere Expressions
