Finally - a card!

This is for my niece's birthday Friday, and all cuts are from Simply Charmed.  I thought it turned out kind of cute.  I used DCWV Glitter stack for the card base, and a Recollections pack from Michaels for all of the cuts.  The "frosting" is DCWV glitter cardstock, and it had to be cut twice to go through.

I must say, I got the Roland blades in the mail yesterday and used them for these cuts and they are MUCH better than the Cricut blades.  They cut through the varnish on the cardstock perfectly, whereas the Cricut blades always have had a hard time doing that, so I'm happy with my new blades!  But I digress....I used SU! stamps and ink on the inside, and a white gel pen to add some dimension and a little pop.  This card has to go to Miami, so I didn;t want to make it 3D and have it get messed up in the mail.  I always keep snail mail cards simple and flat, boring as that is.  If you're interested in the blades, go here.  The 45 degree blades are equivalent to the standard blades and the 60 degree blades are equivalent to the deep cut.  Thanks for visiting today!

Heart shaped V-day card

Well, I think it's time to start Valentine's projects in earnest, so here I go.  This is a card I made from the heart cut on Simply Charmed, and I flipped and welded two to make the card.  I then used a piece of loose paper from Michaels to cut the top layer from the same cut (I think it was layer 3), and added the dimension with the white jelly roll pen, since welding in the Gypsy causes you to lose all inner detail of the cuts (grrr).  The inside heart is also from Simply Charmed, and the stamp on the inside is from a Recollections clear set that I got at Michaels.  I chose these colors because I have teen and tween male nephews, and figured this could be a card for a boy at "that" age.  LOL. 

I can't believe how little I have to say about this, because it was just that easy. Hmmm...I wonder if that means I should do more to it. Too simple, maybe????  Thanks for visiting today.
