Hello

Tonight I'm getting this done last minute. I spent a lot of time researching for this card. I knew that I wanted to include a flower and a butterfly. I knew the colors I wanted to use. Then I found this perfect little hello with a butterfly on Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge. Now I just needed to find the perfect flower and I found it on Kate's ABCs Cricut cartridge. I then did some sketching because I was unsure as to how I wanted to place everything. This is what I came up with.

 

 

 

 

I used these items to create my Hello card:

• Lyrical Letters Cricut cartridge - Hello
• Kate's ABCs Cricut cartridge - flower
• Martha Stewart corner punch
• Jute packaging twine
• white gel pen - added to the butterfly
• Foam mounts - behind flower

Let the Good Times Roll Pop-Up Box card

 

Today my oldest daughter was invited to a friend's 13th birthday party which was a bowling party, so I of course had to make a bowling theme card. I decided to make a Pop-Up Box card because I thought that particular design would allow me to create a sort-of bowling alley. I think I pulled it off.

 

In this picture, look at the bowling ball, I used a piece of cardstock from the DCWV Metallic Glitter Cardstock Stack. The ball is shiny and glittery, just like a real bowling ball.

 

 

I put 13 on both sides because my daughter's friend is turning 13.

 

 

The back I kept simple and to be perfectly honest I was running out of time. I would have liked to put another bowling pin and ball back there but I just didn't have enough time.

I used these items to create my Let the Good Times Roll Pop-Up Box card:

• Nifty Fifties Cricut cartridge (1st time I used it) - bowling pins and ball
• Alphalicious Cricut cartridge - "Lucky"
• Designer Calendar Cricut cartridge - 13
• CardzTV "Good Times" clear stamp set - sentiments
• DCWV Metallic Glitter Cardstock Stack - bowling ball

I am entering my Pop-Up Box card in the following challenges:

• Craftin Desert Divas - Craft it up Link it up - Anything Goes
• Decorate to Celebrate - Challenge #97 - Anything Goes
• DL ART - April Linky Challenge - Anything Goes

It was a little rushed and last minute but I got it done and I love it. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Let the Good Times Roll Pop-Up Box card.
