"In Style" Birthday Card

Today's card is made using the Forever Young Cricut Cart. I used white card stock for the base of the card, light pink Bazzil card stock for the mat, and cut the dress and purse from the Forever Young Cart. I drew the shoes, cut them out, and then pieced them together. The video tutorial is below:

Thanks for watching! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simple Card Series #1

I  have decided to do a Simple Card Series. I will try and post at least one simple card per week. Basically this means that it will be a card that anyone can make in a matter of minutes, using basic craft supplies that most crafter's already have on hand.

 

So there is the first card! Give it a try, you will be glad you did!

Have a great day! :)
