Friends 5x7

For today's card, I again designed something in Design Studio using an aperture from Beyond Birthdays. I really like that cartridge. I welded a design from Storybook into the aperture window 4 times and manipulated it till I had a design I was happy with. The paper is from a huge stack of patterned paper given to me by my daughter in law. Under the patterned paper I scored the card front 3 times with the Scor Pal. The heat embossed stamp on the bottom of the card was from My Big Ideas Sassy Icon collection that I had purchased at Michaels. Hope you had a wonderful day...happy crafting.

My First Cricut Card Design

Hello all...hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had quite a bit of rain here today so I had a good reason to stay inside and play! Tonight, I tried my hand at creating my own design in Design Studio. A week or so ago, I took the Basic Cards class offered by Diane and Jen at http://letmeshowyouhowtodothat.blogspot.com/. If you have not checked out their web site, do so...they are have several classes to choose from and give you a wealth of information. Those girls ROCK! For my card, I used one of the aperture cards from the Beyond Birthdays cartridge and welded a couple of images from the Storybook cartridge in the window. Once the card base was cut, I used the Martha Stewart Lace punch to fancy up the front a little and then embossed the card front with the Cuttlebug hearts folder. The paper used on my card was from Stampin Up as well as the ink for the sentiment. The Hello stamp was from the dollar bin at Michael's...got to love those dollar stamps! Well, that's it for now. Take care.
