Today I want to share a card with you that was inspired by Pinterest. Have I mentioned this week how much I love that site? I know I tell you every week. I can't stay away!
For this card, I used some pastel-ish paper I've been saving for a while. It came in a pack that I didn't love after I bought it, so I was just hanging on to it until I needed it. The card base is from Smiley Cards. I used my Gypsy to size a circle to fit on the card, and cut it twice, once in blue and once in the floral pattern. I cut a strip of the peachy pink paper 1/2" wide and embossed it with the swiss dots Cuttlebug folder.
The sentiment is a stamp from the dollar bin at Walmart.
I tried to match the style of the pink flower to the flowers in the patterned paper. I cut the flower from Serenade and cut it at 2.50", 2.25" and 2.00". I put each flower on with a foam dot to make it pop and added a button to the center.
I went to Michael's yesterday and - of course - checked out the dollar bin. I found this super cute notepad that I had to buy...
That really says it all, doesn't it? That has been my mantra a long time. I often say my Cricut is cheaper than therapy! I find it very calming and soothing to sit down and create.
Have a blessed day!
