Heartfelt Thank You

Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I'm the designer over at Card A Day Blog and the theme this week is Thank you cards.

This card was made in it's entirety with cricut cartridges other than the confetti type paper that was taped behind the hearts. I used the Art Philosophy cartridge to make the card base (this cartridge has lots of fun card-bases on it) and the card mat. The Thank You sentiment came from the Artiste cartridge. The cardstock and pattern papers came from my January Counterfeit Kit. Love the red papers I chose for the kit because they have been perfect for the heart style cards this month.
I cut out the shape card on pg 37 at 5.5" and the decorative layer at 5.25" so the card would shadow behind it, added the confetti paper behind the hearts to emphasize the heart cuts. The thank you was cut from the Artiste cartridge on pg 65 at 2" in white cardstock same as the card base.

I brought the negative cut to the inside of the card, just need to add a little note and it's ready to go.
I have to give cricut credit working with Close To My Heart they came out with 3 great cartridges to use and so much crammed into them to be used on just abut any project.

Happy Graduation Day Jessica

Today is a special day for us, our grand-daughter Jessica graduates today. Sadly we can't be there to see here walk up and get her diploma, over a 1,000 miles are in the way. This is the card I made for her:

Jessica's school colors are Green, Blue, Silver and Black so I made sure to capture all those colors in the card. This card is jam packed with goodies. I put sequins on it in various colors that I found in my stash. The card base is from my new cricut cartridge Artiste, love this cartridge! I wanted this cartridge just for the flip cards, but it has way more fun than just that. I used Accent 2-square cut at 6".

 Paper used for the card: Cardbase is blue cardstock from the Magnifique (CTMH), Green cardstock from the Mayberry (CTMH), layers are Colorbok-Gray perlesence and DCWV-Rock Star pack- Black with silver stars.
Green 4" X 4", Black w/Stars 2 5/8" X 2 5/8", Natural 2" X 2" for the sentiment. Sentiments: SU- Happy Graduation from Teeny Tiny Wishes and You Rock (not sure of the collection) Momento Black Ink.
On the inside:Gray is 5 /8" X 4.5", Black w/ stars: 5.5" X 4 3/8", Natural 4" X 4" stamped with Taylored Expressions: Graphic Greetings Graduate (love this stamp!)

Also on the flip part of the card I added the girl graduate free file from svgcuts.com out of various scraps. Isn't she a sweetie!
Happy Graduation Day Jessica!
