Cricut creations...

I had some fun making a birthday card for my Dad and a baby shower card for a friend of mine who is having her baby shower this week! I absolutely LOVE making cards with my Cricut machine! They take lots of time but I don't mind because scrapbooking, card making or whatever I make with my Cricut really relaxes me and is fun to me!

I am starting to follow a few scrapbooking blogs now too so I thought it would be fun from time to time to post some of my creations!  I've drawn lots of inspiration from others who have posted their projects or crafts on their blog/facebook and so I hope these inspire you to go out and try to make some of your own cards! If you have any questions about them please feel free to ask. I'll explain what I used for you Cricut lovers out there that want to know which cartridge you'll need to make these!

 

The first one I made is for my Dad's birthday. I take after him in many ways and two of the big ways are music and sweets. He loves to listen to music so I got him Chris Tomlin's new album and he loves his sweets like me so I thought it would be fun to make him a strawberry sunday card because he LOVES strawberry icecream!  I am also linking up with My Pink Stamper for her birthday challenge with this card! Here is a close-up of it...

For this card I used the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge and cut it at 5 inches and then used a "Happy Birthday" stamp to finish it off! I don't know if you can tell by the picture but it opens up for you to write inside of it!

The second card I made is for my friends Ashley & Rob who are having their first baby girl here in the coming weeks and we are having her church shower this weekend! So I knew the nursery was in brown and pink and so is the shower theme colors so I wanted to make for sure those were represented but I also added a few more. I used the card from the Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge that is with the snail picture and then used the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge for the banner and bird! I believe I cut this at 5 too. Then I stamped baby on the front and stamped congratulations on the inside! Here is a close-up...

I love how these turned out and I'm looking forward to making more creations!
