Tri Fold Shutter Card-Sympathy

Here is another tri fold shutter card that I did for a swap on the cricut message boards. Is it too plain? Does it need something?

Tri Fold Shutter Card

I made this Tri Fold shutter card for a swap on the cricut message boards. These are much easier to make then they look and so much fun to decorate!

Here are some really cute cards that a friend and I made when we got together for card making one night. The inside of the cards say, "Have a honey of a day." I love the way these turned out.

Tri Shuter Valentine Card

This is my first attempt at a tri-fold shutter card. It was so much fun to make! I'm addicted to making these now! I am currently hosting a swap for this card type on the cricut message boards and can't wait to see what everyone has created!

Have A Happy 4th Of July

Are you ready for the 4th of July?! You better be, because its just around the corner! I'm definitely ready! Can't you tell from this cute card I have to show you?!  I've used this cute image, Firecracker, from
Mayzy Art. She is adorable, isn't she? She is colored with Promakers.

This is meant to be a masculine card, made especially for my very best friend who lives in Florida.  He always appreciates my handmade cards, so he gets one especially made for him, every holiday and birthday.

All papers are from my stash. My card layout uses the sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy. I've added glitter and sparkle to the image with a clearstar gelly roll pen. The stars are punched with two star punches, by Recollections. I used some shiny blue adhesive star embellishments to add the finishing touch.

Happy Birthday, Hippie Chick!

Yet another card, from me, today.  This one is funky andwas made especially for a 16th birthday.  The image is called Blossom Hippie Chick, by Lacy Sunshine, colored with Promarkers. I used papers with peace signs and a funky pink and white zebra print. The fun colorful ribbon is full of peace signs.  I embellished with some peace sign stickers from my stash.

For my card, I used the sketch at Feeling Sketchy
