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!!

Father's Day Cards

While going through my pictures I discovered that I never shared this Father's Day Card from last year (2013) that I made for my amazing Grandpa. It was super quick and easy and he loved it.

 

This card could easily be changed into a birthday card or other sentiment. For this card I used the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge for the argyle background (found on page 33 under the Icon feature). And, the golfer which was cut from the All Sports Cartridge (image found on page 27.) The banner was cut from the Ribbon Banners set of dies by Spellbinders.

 

 

 

I also wanted to share with you the cards that I made for Father's day 2014. I ended up just making several of the same card to give to both my dad and my grandpa because I was rushed for time. This card was extremely simple and just uses some layer of different papers and cardstocks. I was able to use some of my scraps to make this and it could easily be replicated to fit any occasion or be made with different colors to be more feminine.

 

 

 

 

Grandpa's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!


If you haven't guessed it already, today is my grandpa's birthday. He turned 89 years old today and he wears it well. Looking at him you would never know that he is 89, he is always so active, whether it is from bowling on a league or mowing grass all summer he keeps himself busy which in turn keeps him looking young and healthy.

In honor of my grandpas birthday I wanted to share the birthday card that I made for him this year as well as the one that I made for him last year that for some strange reason I never posted.

This first card is actually the card I made for him last year, and it was made to celebrate one of his favorite things: COOKIES!!


And now the card for this year. I wanted to include a vintage mustang on his card this year because he has spent the better part of the last year trying to restore an old mustang into working condition.
