PARTY HAT BIRTHDAY CARD

Another grandson will be celebrating his (19th) birthday next week. I once again used the Cricut Celebrations cartridge.



The card base(5 1/2 X 6 1/2) is Core’dinations Black Magic Collection that I embossed with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder and Cuttlebug machine. I distressed it with the Tim Holtz sanding block.

DCWV paper was used for the diecuts cut with the Cricut Expression. The party hat on page 105 of the Celebrations cartridge was cut at 4 inches. The sentiment(page 125) was cut at 1 3/4 inches.

“Happy Birthday” stamp by Recollections was stamped with Momento Black ink.




The Fiskars clear stamp phrase was stamped with Momento Black ink. Fiskars Shape Templates were used to cut the ovals.

Balloon Birthday Card

Today is my son’s birthday. This is a card I had fun making for him using the Cricut Imagine.

The Cricut Celebrations cartridge(balloons pages 11 & 12, sentiment page 43) was used for the diecuts. Before cutting all the diecuts were first printed on white Bazzill Basic cardstock using the Cricut Imagine and the Imagine Hopscotch cartridge(pages 2,3,10,13).

The balloons were layered to each other using popups than adhered to the card base leaving the tails not adhered. Ribbon was tied in a bow around the tails.

The sentiment was adhered to the card front using Zig 2 Way chiseled pen.
The outer edges of the card were inked with Tim Holtz Stormy Sky Distress Ink.
