Super cute and simple card using the Cricut cartridge Cricut American Alphabet.  I full on love this cart!  It has some of the prettiest sayings and the font is beautiful.  I added the tulle to get it a little something extra. I hope you like it.

So this technique is called ‘thumping’. And that is where you use a stamp pad and a marker. Using a lighter color stamp pad ink first and then a kind of tapping your marker on top of your stamp as well. check out how she explains it!

So my little (adopted) brother in law is going to be 3!  Where has the time gone?  But he really likes Toy Story.  My number 1 reason for buying that cricut cartridge, since my daughter isn’t huge into them.

‘Tiffany’ inspired cards.

Author: iva  //  Category: Cards, Hobby Lobby

I had a friend ask me to make her some invites.  The color scheme that she gave me was a picture of cake balls.  They had the tiffany blue color, cream, and a dark brown on them.  So this is what I came up with for that color scheme.  This was my second attempt at making these cards since my first time around did not work out.

Card size: 4.25 x 6″
Paper: hobby lobby
ribbon: walmart
stamp: The Angel Company “Demask” stamp
embossing: Stamp n Stuff “clear”

All of the stamping is done from one little stamp that I stamped 9 times on each card. And I even hand tied the bows, so it is just one pieces of ribbon instead of me gluing on a bow. I think they turned out better than what I was thinking of.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful Husband Chris!!!
