My Sneak Peek Card Be Happy Floral Card

Hello crafty friends,
I haven’t had a chance to get my “sneak peek” cards up. These were cards I shared on my Facebook page. Due to Close To My Heart corporate policy, I couldn’t share here on my blog until the release of the new Cricut Artistry Cartridge. Now I am catching up and posting details on each of the cards. So here is my Floral, Be Happy Card.
Cricut Cartridge Artistry Be Happy Floral Card
Here is a look at the completed card. I started with some white cardstock for the base. The base size is 5.5 x 5.5. I then used some pink cardstock and overlaid the pink base with some gold dot vellum paper (retired CTMH paper).

I then used my Cricut Design space software and the new Cricut Artistry Cartridge to layout the flowers.

Here’s a closer look at the flowers.

For the flowers I used two shades of pink cardstock and two shades of green cardstock for the leaves. Both of these files are on the Cricut Artistry cartridge.

Here’s a closer look at the stamped sentiment that comes with the Cricut Artistry set. I used my Dessert Sand ink pad to stamp it with. I used some foam tape to give the sentiment a little more lift.

Here’s one last look at the finished card.  
I will be sharing several of the Design Space files I created including the file for this project.


Here’s what you get in the cartridge bundle

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
I created this fun layout featuring some super cute print then cut .png images from papercraftingworld.com. The patterned papers are from the DCWV School Days Stack and the Stack 7 paper stack. I used the Lemonade Stand, Ice Cold Title and lemon slices, lemonade boy sitting. All of these are finished png files that I was able to print then cut with my Cricut Explore. This is my first official project with my Cricut Explore.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA
Here is a closer look at the lemon slices. I printed them out and then cut them with my cutter.

Here is the bear in lemonade stand. Again, I printed it out, then cut it out with my cutter.

Here is a closer look at the title image. I used some foam tape to give it some lift.


Here's a closer look at the cute little bear sitting with lemonade. Again it is a finished .png that I print then cut with my Cricut Explore. I used regular cardstock to print on all of the pieces and then again some foam tape to give them just a little lift.
