Birthday Card

20120225_8

My daughter turns 17 next Thursday (I can’t believe it!). This is the card I made for her.

My white card base is a “tall” card cut and folded to 4” X 9” and will fit in a standard #10 business envelope. I found this tie-dye paper pack from DCWV and had to get it for her. She loves tie-dye things. I cut the 17 at 3” from the Letter Envy Cricut Circle cartridge that I received in the mail on Thursday. I used the Bubblegum Stripes Imagine cartridge for the colors and patterns on the layers. I also tried a new technique I saw and the It’s a Party sentiment was cut at 2”and is from the Birthday Bash cartridge. I used the Cricut Craft Room and the Bubblegum Stripes Imagine cartridge to color the two layers on the sentiment. I then layered them in the Craft Room software and print and cut them stopping my Imagine after it cut the outline of the image. I love this. To finish the card, I added some Star Dust stickles to the top layer of the numbers and to the hat and party blower. I used some Glimmer Glaze and glazed my buttons, let them dry and added them to my card. I am going to enter this card in to the Cardz TV Design Team challenge which is anything goes. I think she will love the card, she likes funky.

  12. This card is precious! She is going to love this tie dye paper! Love the papers you selected (or should I say filled in?) that you used from CCR. I have not even tried CCR. Very nice card.
