Fast, Easy and Simple Thank You

Todays card is super FAST to put together, EASY to assemble and takes only a few SIMPLE items to make.
 
Items used:
Cardstock
Washi (or tissue) Tape
Thickers (or other Alpha stickers)
 
 
To start I found a piece of white cardstock in my scraps and SIMPLY added different stripes of washi tape directly to the piece of white cardstock. Then just tape your washi covered piece of cardstock to a card base and add thickers to spell out your sentiment.

 
For the inside just layer a few pieces of coordinating cardstock and stamp with final sentiment.
 
This card look great and takes less than 5 minutes to assemble!

Birthday Card Using Songbird Cartridge

I found this card on pintrest and fell in love with it. The images are all cut from the Songbird Cricut cartridge, and since I got that cartridge for Christmas (2013) I knew I had to recreate this adorable birthday card.
 


The flowerpot with the bird is found on page 73 of the handbook (under the perch creative feature) and was cut out at 2.5"
The flower was found on page 57 (using the shifted 'flower' feature key) and actually cut out with an asterisk in the center, I just added a decorative brad that I found in my stash and it easily covered the cutout and added a pretty center to the flower.
Using a oval punch by Marvy that I have in my supplies I stamped my birthday sentiment and added 3 homemade enamel dots to finish out the tag.
I used the EK Success Scalloped Scallop punch to add a decorative edge to on of the mats.

 
For the inside I just used to same paper that I used on the outside and again I punched one of them with the EK Success Scalloped Scallop punch.
I then stamped another birthday sentiment one the inside.
 
 
I just LOVE how this card turned out!!

Side Step Birthday

I found the idea for this card at:
I made a few miner changes in my recreation but the idea is the same. This card is the first side step card that I have made, and it turned out a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. The great thing about a side step card is that it give you different 'levels' that you can work on within the same card.
