Get Well Soon...using Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet and DCWV Citurs Collection

Hello everyone--hope you had a great holiday weekend.  I was off for three whole days and I only answered three work emails!  I feel like I could get a lot done this week.
So over the weekend I was able to get a few projects for this week done, photoed, and uploaded!
Two cards, a fun box, and a double page layout!  Talk about getting it done!

This is a simple card with lots of color! A for sure feel better to anyone that is not feeling well.
The solid paper is PTI and the pattern paper is all DCWV Citrus collection, sentiment stamp and die cut are also from PTI.

I used the cuttlebug and a sizzix folder to make the embossed background.  I just got a big order from PTI and this new die set is great!!!!!

So my flower is one that I have done in the past but love the look and I super sized this one! The Cricut Mother's Day Bouquets cartridge is packed full of great flower shapes. ALL the layers are different patterns and I inked the edges with fun color to add to the brights in the paper.  I also did some creative folding/creasing to give it a 3D effect.

I added a double layer matte on the inside with plenty of space to write a message!
I will warn you that i went a little crazy with this cartridge so if you have it I have  a number of ideas to share this week!
Make it a great one!

Welcome to the Neighborhood Card

OK--NYC was cold and rainy! I love coming home! So today's card is pretty simple. What is so great about the card is that even though it is simple--because it's a multi fold card it really packs a BIG PUNCH! Thanks to Joy over at Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Holiday's with the Cricut for sharing the fold instructions for the base card. I had this idea to make a card that looks like a door and when I found the 'welcome' mat in a DCWV (SONGBIRD) stack it was fate! The door even has a peephole and a door knob!!!!




Here are the measurements if you need them:
card base is 11" long by 4 1/2" wide
base of door (larger brown section in picture) is 7" long by 4" wide
middle section of door (cream polka dots) is 3" long by 1 1/2" wide
small section of door (light blue herringbone) is 2 1/2" long and 1" wide
placement on card is simple--1/4" over and 1/4" down or up from each corner and this is the same for all layers.
Peep hole is placed 2" over and 1" down
Door knob is placed 3 1/2" from either top or bottom and 1/2" in
welcome mat measures 2 1/2" long by 4" wide

Thanks for taking the time to take a look and remember I love to read the comments you all leave! Have a great day.
