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.

50th Birthday Card

My friend, who is my grandson's other grandma, is turning 50 this week!

I decided to make a cute card.

I used the gypsy to design the card and cut it out on the cricut. I used pink and black glitter cardstock.

As a fun element, I went online and found some trivia from 1962. I typed it up, printed it out and attached it to the inside of the card. I finished off with a piece of ribbon and made a coordinating envelope.

Inside: 1962 Trivia and "What's one more candle?"

Robot Birthday Party Theme

This post has been sitting in my drafts folder for awhile. I had forgotten about it, so here it is 5 months later!

My little guy turned six, and since I had the Cricut Robot Party cartridge, I used that as my theme. I made Invitations, (forgot to take a pic of them) cupake toppers, a centerpiece, a banner, and painted a T-Shirt. (freezer paper stencil) It all turned out so cute; but boy, was it time consuming! I tend to be slow, and there was a lot of weeding to be done. LOL, my floor was cover in tiny pieces of paper.

The birthday boy, wearing the robot t-shirt. I placed the centerpiece at the base of the balloons



I made cupcakes and cute robot toppers. For Robbie's cupcake, I made an extra large one and made a wrapper for it. I used foil cups, since robots are made of metal.





I made this reversable banner. Once side has robots, and if you flip it around, it says 'happy birthday'
