I am loving this image and how this card came out. Don't think I was crafty coming up with the angled background pattern paper and matting. I wasn't. I was just using up a scrap that was torn a little at an angle, and went with it cutting my pattern paper at the same angle. LOL

Purple Flowers Card


I love this card!
The idea came from Courtney Lane Designs here.
I made mine a little differently, and just love how it turned out.

I'm playing along at:

This card uses the Close To My Heart Cricut cartridge, Artfully Sent. I do not own this cartridge, but I was happy to see that it's part of Cricut Access now! Woo-Hoo! Go play with it a little.

This cut is actually set up to be a folded card. I can NOT figure out the slice tool even after watching YouTube videos. I do what they say, but the slice option remains faded out, so I can't use it. I'm sure it's something I'm doing, but whatever. I made this work anyway.

Below you will see 2 cut outs. The first is the card cut out a lot smaller. I just played around with the size so that the height of the card would be about 4" high.

After cutting out that, I cut it out again, but before I did that I clicked on Contour, HIDE ALL, then just clicked on the pieces I wanted around the edges and that one piece between the top 2 flowers.

After I cut out both pieces, I glued the top layer to the background layer on the flowers part only, then used my trimmer to cut off the folded part. Since I didn't glue that part, I still had 2 pieces of cardstock I can use for something else.


Cricut cartridge, Artfully Sent
Stampin' Up cardstock
Hip Kit Club past club pattern papers

I did lots of layering (more than usual), but loved all of the purple and greens layered up.

Thank you so much for popping in to see what I'm up to in my craft room.
I can't wait to tell you more about the new shop we are opening.
You'll have to wait a bit longer though. Still getting our ducks in a row.

You still have time to play in my Crafting Happiness Challenge for this week!

Lucky to Call You Friend


I saw this design from The Artsy Stamper on a card creation added to my challenge blog, Crafting Happiness Challenges. When I visited the entry, I was thankful she included the link to the Etsy store. I love this! I just put the design in a Word document at two different sizes with the sentiment added to it, print it, and cut it out with metal dies. The second card I made will be posted to my blog on St. Patrick's Day using the smaller image size.

This came together so easily, and I know I already said this, but I just love it.
