Friendship is the Sweetest Flower

Hello Everyone!
Susie Craft Happy here to share a card with you.  I love sending cards to my friends, most of which are non-crafty but excellent cooks...but then, that's a craft in itself! My card today was created using Cricut's Country Life cartridge and papers from Stampin Up.
I cut the pitcher and flowers at 3.75" using my Gypsy.  The card base is a standard A2 size card with two layering mats.  I used Stampin Up's Beautiful Wings embosslit to cut out the butterflies and used glue dots to adhere them to the card.


The stamp is from The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Friend's stamp set.  I added a little faux stitching to the flowers for added interest. :-)

I hope you enjoyed seeing my friendship card today and will join us tomorrow for more Cricut FANatics inspiration.   Thank you for stopping by today!

Susie

Winter holiday cards!

Ooops!  I was supposed to post my project yesterday! Darn it! Well at least I remembered today! This is Michele from Scrap-n-Dance!

So, I've been trying to make our winter holiday cards for the last few years. I try to make a "simple" design in the hopes I get them done quick, but gluing these together took a while so they weren't as simple as I'd wanted. lol

This year I also wanted to stick to using only my stash, which meant that I had to find enough cardstock of each color to make the cut top layer, and another layer for one of the mats. Fortunately, I found enough cool blues and purples to make these. A few of these colors may be non-traditional but hey... I managed to not buy a thing! :)  I still need to do something with the insides, probably a stamped sentiment. But at least I got 40 of these done and I can finish up the stamping this weekend.

These cards were created by welding snowflakes and a sentiment from several cartridges into a rectangle frame that I sized to fit a card that would fit into a regular size #10 business envelope. See below for the cartridges used!
