Birthday Wish card using Cricut Wrapped Up Cartirdge



Well it's Tuesday of a SUPER busy week.  I am back in NYC on Wed and Thurs, home on Friday and than Back to NYC for Sat, Sun, Mon and leaving right to Asia for two weeks from NYC.  I will only be home 8 days out of the first 6 weeks of 2011!  I do love my job but I would like a few weeks at home!
I have a fun birthday card to share.  I used some Scenic Route patterned paper a few scraps, and my fav find ever--Stampin Foil!
I cut the candle from the Cricut Wrapped Up cartridge--which I think this one is a must have.  The images and the word are is good!  I used the glitter paper from SU and a scrap of SEI striped paper for the candle.
I wanted to stamp the inside with a nice sentiment and a bit of the pattern paper.  On white cards esp. I like to finish off the inside--everyone likes a little somethin' somethin' that makes it even more special.
The envelope is just as important and on this one I used the same pattern paper and a bit of navy that I cuttlebugged with the candles folder (an oldie but goodie)!  Here is an up close shot of the embossing.
Alright everyone--if you had yesterday off like I did today is or Monday.  I never thought I would say this but I miss my office!  Make it a great one-

  6. That's a really fun card, and I love the cuttlebug candle folder, but haven't seen it anywhere. Have a safe trip and enjoy the time on the flights to dream up more great projects! BethAnn M.

  7. So glad to see a project with the cartridge. I ordered it last week and got the email that it was shipped today. Thanks for a great idea. Wish I could have been off yesterday. I work in a hospital lab so we are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Some of us have to be there holiday or not. Oh well, without the laboratory doctors would have to guess.
