Simple Peony Card-Picturesque and Smiley Face




This is a way simple and easy card to make. I created it with my Gypsy, Cricut Picturesque cart, George and Basic Shapes cart and digital Smiley Face cart. The card is cut at 4.75 inches. It is from the Smiley Face cart. I cut the card from a beautiful pearlescent paper from a K & Co. stack. It is double sided. I thought it may be hard to write a message on, so I cut the card a second time on a less "slick" paper. I cut it on my Gypsy and when I did this time I used the "hide contour feature" to hide the circle. Then I used the George cart to cut a bigger circle. The reason for this is so that this paper can't be seen from the front. I only used the bottom half of the card inside because I really liked the double sided paper that was already there for the top.
The peony is from Picturesque and is cut using the framework feature. This is one of the very reasons I wanted this cart. It is amazing! The truth is, I always thought this cut was a rose, until I read the booklet, then I found out it is truly a peony...lol. Anywho, it is cut at 2.75 inches. Then I used the basic cut for the background and glued the framework and basic cut together. I put it on pop dots and put it in the center of the card. I added some ribbon around the bottom and viola...it is done! TFL!

Count Your Blessings Birdies


I made this card for a friend who just had a baby. On the inside it says. "Count Your Blessings". The birds are cut from Wall Decor and More at 4". The photo corner is from Picturesque and is cut at 1.5". The ovals are custom sized on my Gypsy to fit the birdies. I used George and Basic Shapes for those.
The paper is from the DCWV Latte stack. It has such rich and beautiful colors! The purple in the stack just sang to me. I added some ribbon and a brad and some glitter pen here and there. I don't think I know how to make a project without my glitter pen! TFL!
