Hello Crafty Friends,
Hoping you are having a great day. I decided to make a card today in honor of Diana's (DL.Art) birthday coming up (this one is not for her...that is a surprise still). Her favorite color is green, so I wanted to use that as the main color. The splash of orange is my daughter's favorite color. They do look good together.
I really like the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge and I seem to overlook using it. There are so many options (see below) for layering and framing.
Materials:
Raspberry Road Designs paper
white and green cardstock
Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge~ oblong mat (p. 63) cut at 4 3/4 - 4"
Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge ~ numerous cuts
green crinkle ribbon
orange, yellow, and green buttons
white brad
This weekend is going to be extremely busy. Kyle moves home from college for only 3 weeks, we set up for the Eagle Ceremony Saturday morning, the Pampered Chef party is Saturday afternoon, and Sunday is the Eagle Scout Ceremony. What a way to end summer vacation!
Time to get back into a routine!
Stay Creative,
Georgiana
