Loving Birthday Cross

Well hello there.  So sorry I have not posted in a 

while I have been working on a couple projects for a guy 

at church.

He asked me to make a religious birthday card for his wife

whose birthday is in December.

It is a large card, a letter size paper folded in half.

I love the pearl embossed background paper, I had used it for my son's

wedding card HERE.  The cross is one I found online

and uploaded it to Cricut Design Space and cut it out with

my Explore.  Since it is such an intricate design I put some

Stick-It adhesive on the back of the cardstock before I cut it out.

It worked great!  It is very thin and light so the Explore had no problem cutting it out.   The sentiment on the bottom is a Cricut file I had my Explore

write.  I love the new very fine point pens.

Here is the inside.

The verse I typed out in Word and then printed on pearl

paper.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you

all have a very Happy Thanksgiving, we have so much

to be thankful for.

Wedding Card

Hola everyone.  Today I have a card to share

with you that I made a month or so ago.  My daughter and her

husband were going to Wisconsin for their niece's wedding,

(which incidentally is today) and asked me if I could make a wedding card for them.  So using one of Bird's Card files I made this card.

The colors for the wedding was Fall colors so I used the flowers to bring that color theme into the card. The flowers are cut from vellum and colored with alcohol markers. It is hard to see in the picture but all the papers are pearl-like papers. I had made this same card a couple of years ago in 

all white, if you want to check it out click HERE. 

Because of the flowers and a lot of the layers are popped I had to make a box for the card to go in.  

Well that's it, just wanted to make sure and share this card with you

before I forgot about it since I don't have it in front of me anymore.

Make sure you head on over and check our Bird's Cards, she has some awesome files, many of which she shares for free.
