Birthday Cupcake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With a fast approaching birthday for my Mom, I  wanted to try a new card style. Browsing through card tutorials at SplitCoastStampers, I chose the Flap Fold Card. I do not have a 2 1/2" circle punch or die, so my thoughts turned to my Cricut machine. Maybe I could make the card with it! Well, this is my results! Card is cut 4.25" x 11" from blue DCWV textured cardstock. Using Cricut Design Space, I added score lines at the 2.5" and 6.75", then added a 2.50 " circle to cut the opening in my card. From there, it was playing with Cricut images to complete the card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Love You A Latte - Strawberry Cupcake is cut 1.25" wide and is pop-dotted on the scallop circle.

Elegant Edges - Circle Scallop is cut 2.3" wide x 2.28" high.

Once Upon a Princess - Cupcake Heart is cut 1.75" wide. It is pop-dotted on the card to hold the flap down.

Elegant Embellishments - Birthday is cut 2.25" wide.

Straight From the Nest - Cupcake corner is cut 2" wide. This was cut to use on the flap, but it seemed too large. Since it was cut, I added it on the inside sentiment mat. A hand written sentiment will be added.

Martha Stewart Daisy Dots was used for the decorative edge on the flap.

I am pleased with the results of my Flap Fold card. Hope you enjoy it!

Other supplies:

Bo Bunny Little Miss collection for the trinket on the birdcage. There is a Cricut cut bird on the birdcage but I chose to use the trinket on top of it.

If you look closely in the left corner, you can read on the paper Never regret - Live your dream. That is a good sentiment for my card!

Pumpkin Card Using Damask Decor

I am playing again with Cricut Damask Decor. This time I chose the pretty cut for the pumpkin. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" and is layered with a plaid K&Comapny paper. This image can be found on page 68. I used the main images, Layer 1, and Layer 2 cut at 4 1/4".
I received the Cricut Straight from the Nest cartridge yesterday and thought I would try one of the corner features. The Fall corner is found on page 76 and is cut at 1 1/2".
I used lots of inking, pop-dotted the pumpkin image, and added a bow from Harvest Crafts ribbon.
