Birthday wishes





Happy Friday all, I cant believe that July is almost gone wow where did summer go....
Well today I am sharing with you a card I made for my Granddaughter Isabella's 1st Birthday. she will be 1 year old in September and she is such a Cutie! she is having a Disney party and loves Mickey & Minnie can you say one HAPPY Grammy....lol
I used Cricut cart: Birthday Bash for the number one cut @ 7in and the cake cut @ 3in rather than use my Gypsy because it wouldn't fit to weld because it was cut so big I just cut the number 1 two times and added a piece of paper at the top of the card and glued it to make the card...I made it black so it blends in with the card!
the cake and Birthday wishes also came from Birthday Bash
Used Cricut Cart: Mickey & Friends for Minnie cut @ 5in
Pop dotted the cake and added some stickels on the Birthday wishes
Matching envelope Mickey Font cart for the letters and Mickey and Friends for Minnie. Used my new we R memory keepers envelope maker for the envelope....love it!
I am entering this for the Stuck on U Sketch Disney Die Cut Challenge

Father day card

Happy Friday all, today I wanted to share with you another card I made, with Father's Day right around the corner I made my Billy a card....
I really like this one it was a lot of fun to make.....
I used Cricut Cart Groovy times and  pack your bags
Used Groovy times for the TV cut at 6 ins and rather than weld it with my gypsy I glued the edge and it worked out just fine.
I pop dotted the knob and Tv screen and the fun part that brings it to life is I used the plastic container that my cricut cart came in and cut the TV screen out it made it look like glass...how cool .
Used cricut cart life's a beach for the man , it was a group of four people and I just cut the man out of the group and trimmed him to fit ....I cut it at 7 ins
