Get Well Card

Made this card for a dear friend who is going thru a rough spell and is in the hospital.  I wanted to make her a card to cheer her up.  She loves owls, just like I do, so what better way than an "owl nurse" to get her back on her feet.   And a pink/blue one, to boot!  LOL

Bee-lated Birthday

Made this card for a dear friend’s mother, who is a real sweetheart! :-)

Inside of card:-

Tools/Items:-
Cricut Imagine
Cricut Cartridges – see below
Martha Stewart Corner Punch – Eyelet Lace
Martha Stewart Deep Edge Punch – Flower Bed
Glue – regular; ATG; Zig Two Way
Cardstock – blue; white (for the Cricut Imagine)
Corner rounder – Corner Stone by EK Success
Popdots
Rhinestones – on bee and butterfly

Cricut Cartridges
Disney Pooh & Friends – bee hive
Disney Happily Ever After – tree
Paisley – bee
Wall Décor & More - butterfly

This card was completely created on the Cricut Imagine, flood-filling designs, using the regular Cricut cartridges. I used the “Color Cop” to obtain the RGB codes for the hive via DisneyClipart and mimicked the same colors in the Cricut handbook for the li’l bee. What an awesome way of getting the exact colours. No fumbling thru coloured cardstock to find the right shades --- the Cricut Imagine does it all!

I attached the branch w/ the bee hive to the main tree. By using the same color, via “Color Cop”, for both the branch and the tree, it makes it seem like the branch w/ the bee hive was actually part of the tree. :-)

The inside of the card was created using the Flower Bed punch, punching it on both sides of the paper, to create a double border. Rhinestones were placed on the butterfly, which was glued to the border. The sentiment was computer-generated. Used some cute fonts:-

“LMS Spelling Bee” --- gives the look of a bee buzzing along. You can see a li’l bee attached to the “W”.
“Hunny's Bees” – the first letter has a li’l bee attached to it, w/ the rest of the letters in a “flower”.

The rest of the words were done in “Tinker Toy”.

Hope she enjoys this card, as much as I enjoyed making it for her.

Thanks so much for looking and I hope you have a great day!

Anniversary Card

It’s our 32nd anniversary today. It's been 32 lonnnnnnng years. Just kiddin'. :-) My sweet hubby (next to my daughter) is the best thing/person that has ever come into my life. This is what my Sweetheart gave me:-

Can you spot the two li'l ladybugs on the flowerpot? Cute, eh? :-)

Here’s the card I made for him:-

RECIPE:-

Tools/Items:-
Cricut Expression
Cricut Design Studio
Cricut Cartridges (see below)
Martha Stewart punch – Quilted border; Ladybug
Glue (regular, Glue Glider Pro & Zig Two-Way for small items)
Corner Rounder
Patterned Paper
Cardstock
Stickles – Candy Cane, Gold
Popdots
Googly eyes
Seed beads

Cricut Cartridges used:-
Paisley – frog prince; shadow; eyes; belly; crown
Sweethearts – Happy Anniversary; Sweetheart; You & Me; xoxo’s

Because my hubby is my “Prince”, it only seemed natural to choose the “Frog Prince” from the "Paisley" cartridge, for his card. Because I’m his “Ladybug”, I’m sitting on top of him. Hence, “You & Me”. :-) I stickled both the crown and myself (Ladybug). :-)

Used the MS “Quilted” border punch for the inside of the card. The card base is 6” x 9”. I’ve included a cut file, for anyone who is interested.
