Quick 5" square card

Hello my fellow Cricuteers ;)


 I hope your day is going well. This fine Monday morning brings us another great Challenge at Exploring Cricut. This time the challenge is to create a card, LO or craft using at least 2 Cricut Cuts, 1 patterned paper, and the color BLUE... piece of cake right? Cannot wait to see what you create!


Here is my card:



Patterned papers are from The Boyhood and The Nana's Kids stacks by DCWV, oldies but goodies ;). Balloons are cut at 1" and 1.5" on regular cardstock and added Glossy accents after stamping, chalking ( it is hard to see here) and adding the "light reflections".

The stitched stamp is from MCT New Plane die and stamp set, I only used part of it though ;)

Here is the cutting file. For this card, you need CCR basics, Nate's ABCs, and Create a Critter. This is a great scrap stash buster.

The story behind:

I started with a Thank You card in mind :? but  as always I got my self into trouble because I wanted to somehow incorporate the new PKS faces and this Pagemaps sketch. Even-though I welcomed  the extra challenge I kind of ended up modifying the sketch to keep it simple ;) and after a couple of mishaps I decided on this simple yet cheery birthday card. 



Don't forget to stop by my DT's sisters blogs to leave them some blog love and to enjoy the inspiration they have for you!

Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do appreciate your comment, have a wonderful and blessed day!

Exploring Cricut Xmas in July Blog Hop (pictures updated)

Good morning cricuteers!! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! This fine Monday morning brings another Exploring Cricut Challenge! . This week we are having a Christmas in July Blog hop/ Challenge. So If you came from Michelle S blog you are in the right place! If you just happen to stumble upon my blog ;) and would like to check out all the inspiration provided by the Exploring Cricut  team please start here. There might be a few surprises along the way ::hint:: I hope you join us on this blog hop and challenge!!    For my project I Created a Card/Gift bag Decor. I have seen some " Card Holders" that you add to the front of a plain GB to help you "show off" your card, after all you have invested time and effort into it so why not showcasing it as part of the gift wrap :).. ( But for the life in me I cannot recall where I saw them or what they are called :?)  Got inspired from this idea . So if anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit...
