Damask Decor Teapot Card


Welcome to Glenda's Cards! I am so excited to share my fabulous new blog design! I think this is perfect for a Red Hatter! Thank you so much Sheri at My Sheri Crafts. Sheri is such a sweet and talented friend! I love the design and colors! I appreciate and love everything about the new look!

I have seen so many beautiful cards made using the Cricut Damask Decor cartridge. Thank you ladies for sharing your work--I just had to buy the cartridge. As I was looking through the handbook and saw the teapot card, I knew this would be my first image to use!
The teapot is on page 61. Using the card feature and shift, I cut the card at 5" from a pretty double-sided K&Company paper. The teapot was cut 5" from a floral paper that is also in the pack.
I planned to cut the envelope but I cut the card too large... the 5" envelope would not fit on a 12x12 sheet of paper. Cut and learn!! lol  I have been working a little with Design Studio-finally--and I was able to hide the fold lines on the card! Yay for me! Next time though, I should try the envelope first!!

Needing a birthday card, I added the sentiment using a Michael's stamp. Flower is Recollections Mulberry Paper Flower. I added pearls for that special touch! Lots of inking!
I love the way this turned out! Hope the recipient will enjoy this card!
