Peace



Today's card making project was used from the Pagoda cartridge. I picked up the cartridge from Michael's on sale $9.99.   $69.99 is certainly a big mark-up.  I don't think I could get away with marking up my embroidery that much.

The patterned paper is from Premium Stacks,  Latte matstack. The background paper is from Recollections cardstock.  I added a little Star Dust stickles and a silver bead from Recollections Pearl Stickers. I stamped "Peace" using Stampabilities Silver.

I need to learn how to take pictures without shadows.  The colors are prettier than photo reveals and match.

Thanks for looking.

Cricut Expressions

I recently acquired a almost new Cricut Expressions machine with accessories and cartridges.  I have been watching videos on YouTube from MyPinkStamper.  I have learned a lot....


Here are the first cards I have made. Obviously, I am not very creative, but it is fun and relaxing.


 
 
The following card is for my sweet granddaughter.  Her 7th birthday is Jan 6th.  Her name is on the front side of the card  but I am only showing the inside of the card.  She loves horses.
