Smile!

My niece is turning 18, so I wanted to make her a girly but not childish card. Here's what I came up with.

I followed a sketch from My Time to Craft and used the Cricut Sampler cartridge for the camera. I stamped the sentiment and added ribbon and buttons to finish off the card. Here is the inside:

Birthday Blooms

I recently bought the Cricut Sampler cartridge and was eager to use it. The cartridge has a few cuts from several different cartridges, so it's a fun mix. I made a quick birthday card to try it out.

I cut the watering can and added the sunflowers to it. A little ribbon and buttons from my stash finished it off.

Here is the inside:

Just Ducky

My husband's cousin is due with her first baby in June, and her baby shower is this weekend. We will be out of town and unable to attend, but we are sending along a gift and well-wishes with family.

The gifts we bought the baby have ducks on them, so I wanted the card to follow that theme.

I used the Cricut Sampler cartridge for the outfit and stamped the duck. I was able to use three different patterned papers on this card. Buttons and ribbon added the finishing touches. I just bought this ribbon, but the buttons have been in my stash for almost a year, so I'm happy to use them up. Here is the inside of the card:

Thanks
