2007 (Congrats)

(click image to enlarge)

Yet another card I made for a graduating student.

I cut out the 2007 using the Cricut. I used some black glitter glue in the circles cut out of the 2007.

The blue ribbon says "Congrats!" and had adhesive already on the back.

You are the Apple of My Eye

I made this card for my Grandmother for Mother's Day. Really, it could be used for any occasion- I simply put "Happy Mother's Day" on the inside.

I used the Cricut to cut out the apple and the tag for the front of the card. I covered the apple with three layers of UTEE to give it a shiny look and more dimension. I wrote "You are the apple of my eye" using pens, and used green for "apple" to make it stand out. Then I used a brad to hold the two pieces of the tag together.

A Little Note

I made this card a few weeks ago, but I didn't want to post it until I had sent it out in the mail.

I cut out the "globe" and the green rectangle using my Cricut. I layered several silhouette cuts of the circle to give it the depth needed, and then used a circle of transperency material for the covering.

I inked the edges of the envelope, and used a gel pen to accent the "folds" and heart. I used a paper punch for all the music notes inside the globe.

I used a stamp on the green rectangle, and did not notice until after I took the photo that it was spelled incorrectly (I've already contacted the distributer and should be getting a copy of the new stamp, with the correct spelling). I fixed the misspelling with a pen.

I sent out a different variation of this card to another friend as well.

Congrats- 2007 (Graduation)

I had a totally different vision in my head when I started this card. Originally, I wanted to cut the "Congrats" out and use the negative as the card front. I actually went through and did that, but I hated the way it turned out- so back to the drawing board.

I cut out both the "congrats" and the "2007" using my Cricut. It ended up looking a little squished, but I think I'm too hard on myself sometimes.

For the background, I used a stamp and a Versamark pad. The inside is blank.
