Birthday Cards

I made a few cards for our April Birthdays.

I made two of these cards.

I've already sent one on to my dear friend who will be 94 this week.

Wow, 94! She's still very active, and sharp as a tack, too!

Here's the inside

Other than the card bases, I used my scraps to make these cards. BooYah! I love not

having to cut a full sheet for something small.

I used my cricut, cricut pens and colored pencils to complete the card.

Cartridges used: Straight From The Nest- for cut outs

A Childs First Year- for font (cricut pen)

I distressed the blue cardstock, used glitter yellow carstock for the bird and embossed the branch.

For the inside, I used colored pencils and colored in the wording, inked the edges of yellow paper with pink. A cute birthday card!

Here's another one...

This is a very simple quick card. I used grey cardstock and embossed a piece of yellow for the sentiment, I used Martha Stewart punches for the black cardstock. I finished it off with a cute 3-D sticker and yellow ribbon.
