Blue and White

Today's card is for Sandy's Crafty Creations January Challenge which is to use white and blue..  I'm using the Damask Decor Cricut cartridge button 4 with the card feature for the front of my card.  The heart tag is made using the tag feature and button 47 on the key pad.  I've added an embossed piece between the two layers. 

Thanks for stopping by.

So into You Challenge 83

 

Shopping Our Stash Challenge 83 is to create using all white or all ivory/cream/vanilla.  I've been wanting to use my Damask Decor Cricut Cartridge and thought this challenge would be perfect for the layers.

I used Damask  3 and the card feature to cut the front.  I layered underneath a piece embossed card stock and a sheer ribbon on top.  I stamped my sentiment then made a banner out of it and attached a bow.

For the inside I stamped the rose image on the inside.  It's light enough ink that the had written message will show up.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sympathy Card

Today I need a card for a co-worker who's husband passed away suddenly.  This just reinforces how short life is.

I used my computer to print my sentiment, using Tangerine at 72pt for  "Thinking" then centering "OF YOU" underneath in Calibri at 30pt. I couldn't get this to work in word so I had to use Photoshop.  I wish I had the Sincere Salutations from Stampin' Up and I would have just used the stamp. I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo - it really is my go to ink.

 

I used my Cricut to cut out three ovals out of the George and Basic Shapes.  The small oval I ran through my printer to get my sentiment on.  I then layered my cuts from the Damask Decor attached the pearls and the flowers.  I added foam tape to the back of my ovals. 

I again inked the inside mat then add the paisley accent with a couple of white flowers and pearls.  I then added more pearls up the right hand side and to the bottom of the card.

It's a very pretty card for a really sad occasion. Thanks for stopping by.
