Celebrate Card

One of my goals this year is to make more of my own cards AND give them away!!  I either make them so far in advance that I lose them, or forget until the last minute and then it is too late.  A friend from my Gypsy class (Bonnie) gave me a Tim Holtz Flower die cut which I used to make this flower.  I am having so much fun cutting different things with my cuttlebug that I can't really cut well with my cricut (newspaper, book pages, fabric, etc).

I also cut out a bunch of sentiments like celebrate above and filed them in a plastic envelope thing so I am prepared for those last minute cards.  I also ran the sentiments through the Xyron.  No excuses!!!

I made this card for one of my daycare moms for her birthday.  It is simple, yet a little sassy just like me!!

Do you have any other tricks that you use to make card making any easier for a fellow scrapbooker?  I would love to hear them!!

  1. Look at you and your card making skills! Gorgeous card... you really should make more!! lol! That is one of my goals too this year! I am trying to force myself to make a card with the scraps from each scrapbook page which seems to happen about 50% of the time! Well... it's better than I did last year!! I love this flower! And I am totally impressed that you have already cut sentiments for future use... you are too good!!
