GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
The base is cut from some Bazzill brick cardstock. It is a really old cardstock that has little flecks of black in it. The finished size of the card is 4.25 x 5.5.

I cut out the flowers, stems and leaves as well as the fence. I layered the flowers and curled the petals.

I used some pearl embellishments for the centers of my flowers and colored them with my Marigold marker.

I then printed out one of the sentiments from this week’s Friday Freebie and backed it with a small scalloped oval. I added just a bit of foam tape to give it a little lift.

Here’s a side view to try and show the scalloped edge of the card base. I then cut the mat from white cardstock. I then turned to my cuttlebug and used my quatrefoil embossing folder to give it some texture.

Here’s one last look at the completed card. It came together very quickly and very easily.

Sharing A Smile and a Card

Happy Monday crafty friends,
Today I am sharing a smile and a card. I created this fun card with the new Cricut Artistry Cartridge and the Cricut Design Space software. I used some pretty Blossom paper and embellishments from Close To My Heart.

Cricut Artistry-Cricut Design Space Smile Card
Here’s a look at my completed card. The card base is made from white cardstock and is a standard A4 size (4.25 x 5.5) I started by designing the card in the Cricut Design Space software. Once I had laid it all out, I decided on my papers and went to cutting.
