Just a "Hi" Card- Simply Sweet Cart




I just whipped up this little card for my friend, Toni
I used the Simply Sweet Cricut Cart that Provo Craft gave me to sample for the font
It is very 3-Dimensional but you can't tell!
It looks much better in real life!
The colors really pop but not in these photos.

~More Simply Sweet Sneak Peek!!



Tomorrow is my little girl's "Special Day". We adopted her 10 years ago!!! We celebrate it real big with just family. I made her the card the other night and today after my cake decorating class I came home and whipped up this layout page for tomorrow.
The font and flowers are from the soon to be released Simply Sweet cart.
I have to say, after seeing Regina Easter's Mushroom Blog Hop, I had to RUN out yesterday and get the Tinkerbell Cart, just for that one stinkin'cute adorable mushroom!! They were soooo much fun to make. They have a lot of detail but you can not really tell by this photo. I can't wait to make a ton more mushrooms!
I am really lovin' this Simply Sweet Cart and I think you will too!!

Tools:
Stampin' Up Scalloped Punch
Simply Sweet Cart
Tinkerbell Cart

Ingredients:
Stampin' Up Bashful Blue Cardstock

Simply Sweet Birthday Card


This Simply Sweet cart is not released yet, but when it is, you will want it. It has a darling little whimsical font, cute graphics and some great features including Tab, Blocked, Stitched, Heart, Shadow and Blackout.

This is a birthday card for a dear friend. I got the idea off the featured project. I actually made the featured project first but decided to play around with it.
I love the Happy Birthday wording at the bottom of the card! If you look closely at the circle you can see the "stitched" effect! I also "cuttlebugged" the printed patterns to give it a "quilted" look.

Tools:
Simply Sweet Cricut Cartridge
Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folder
Bloom Dots Cuttlebug Folder

Ingredients:
Stampin' Up Raspberry Tart Designer Paper- I used three different patterns
Stampin' Up Certainly Celery Paper
Stampin' Up Certainly Celery Paper


My little girl came up with the idea to have cards open with a tie ribbon. She has been doing this design for about a year now so it is her original idea that I "scraplifted"!
I started with the 6x6 card that was in the featured project but decided to make it taller. I used the Cuttlebug on the cardstock but I am not sure you can tell by the photo. I also used it on some of the paper to give it a "quilted" look.

My first cards with Simply Sweet Cricut Carts


This Simply Sweet Cart is soon to be released. It is a font cart and is simply darling!! I love the whimsical letters and it has many neat features.
This one is a card for my little girl's "Special Day" celebration. This Tuesday marks 10 years that we adopted her. We celebrate it just like a birthday but even with more fun special traditions! I am going to make a special lay out page to match it.

Tools used:
Simply Sweet Cricut Cartridge

Ingredients:
CTMH Magical Moments Paper
Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip Ribbon

The darling little flower and the "love" were on this cart!

I hope she likes it!!
