62nd Anniversary Card

My grandparents 62nd anniversary is coming up soon.  This is the card I created for them. 

This card qualifies for the Frosted Designs challenge this week which was to use flowers on your project.

The paper is from DCWV, the Indian Summer Cardstock stack and the Indian Summer Mat Stack.  The sentiment is stamped with a Close To My Heart stamp from the Say It In Style set on a tag cut at 1/2" using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge.  The flowers and brads come from the Earth's Palette Creative Kit by Hot Off the Press.  The orange ribbon and brads are things that I had just laying around.

The inside of the card is very simple.  I simply added a small section of the striped paper to the bottom.

Thanks for stopping by!

Remember This???

Remember this "what is it" question from a few days ago?

It's a.........

pizza and pizza box.  My Girl Scout troop went on a field trip to California Pizza Kitchen.  The girls got to make their own pizzas and tour the kitchen.  We finished up the outing by decorating our own pizza boxes.  The pizzas and boxes were cut on the Cricut using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.  The pizza was cut at 4-1/4" and the box at 6".

We decided that this idea would be great as invitations for hosting a pizza party.  The party info could be written on the pizza inside the box.

Valentines

I can't believe it's February already.  I do have my daughter's Valentine's done (with some help from her).  We had made "favor boxes" for her classmates using my Cricut for the Halloween party and decided to do the same for the Valentine's Day party.  She then decided that she was just going to use the boxes as her Valentine's.  Ever the "wise one", she said they really only wanted the candy, so why waste more paper making Valentines that would just get thrown away or recycled.

Using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge, I cut the box with the heart on top and heart window at 6-1/2".  By cutting them this size, I can get two on a piece of cardstock by flipping my mat around and running it through the Cricut in the opposite direction. 

I used plain cardstock I had, and I'm not sure who made it.  I decided to make three different colors of boxes - red, pink and purple.  I used the heart cut-outs from the windows to decorate the opposite side of the box.  I cut out two squares for each box using the shift key and any of the square-shaped items from Accent Essentials.  The paper on the squares was from "The Glitter Stack" by DCWV.

I added a clear inlay inside the box to keep the contents inside using clear plastic containers (Cricut cartridge boxes work great) that I had been saving for just this purpose.

I inked the edges of the squares using a brown ink pad.  The "Be Mine" stamp is from a Close To My Heart set called Say It In Style.

I finished with some stickles by Ranger.  I used Cotton Candy on the pink, X-mas Red on the red, and Starry Night on the purple.  I filled the boxes with shredded gift basket paper and candy.  There are now sitting and waiting on "the big day".

Thanks for looking!
