Jolly Christmas Card

I feel like I cheated with this card!

The sentiment and pattern papers were downloaded and printed from http://www.pinkpetticoat.co.uk/. They are from their "Fairy Lights" collection. I used my Nestabilities in the Cuttlebug to cut the circles and scallops. The snowflakes are from two Cuttlebug dies, and they are covered with Star Dust Stickles and adhered with pop dots for dimension. The "jolly" in the sentiment was also made glittery by going over the letters with a Sakura Quickie Glue pen and sprinkling with loose glitter. The light green twill ribbon in from Martha Stewart.

Everyone uses pastel colors for Christmas cards, right?

Glitter Flower Birthday Card

Here is another super easy card I made for the Cards For Soldiers.  Again, standard A2 size.  The patterned paper is from a My Mind's Eye stack I got at Costco last year.  The flower was cut out of light blue Bazzill at 3.5" (blackout) using my Cricut machine with the beloved George cart.  I used Mod Podge applied with one of those foam brushes to cover the flower and then covered it with Crystal Ultrafine Transparent glitter from Art Institute.  (I would normally use my Xyron when applying loose glitter, but I was making 24 flowers total and was too cheap to buy more refills!  LOL)  The stamp is from the Stampin' Up set "Circle of Friendship" stamped on white cardstock and punched out with a circle punch.  The ribbon is from M's.  I used a pop dot to attach the sentiment to the flower.  Can't get much simpler than this!!
