HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREE
GREETINGS! Hope I am finding you well! I know I am feeling a bit better although the head cold wants to linger on - dang! Thanks for the sweet get well comments, I have THE BEST blogger friends! Anyway, on to some business...My dear Brother in Law's birthday is this Saturday so I had to get a card done for him. He is leaving for Mongolia, yes that's right Mongolia, to work for the next two years. It is a great opportunity for him and his family but we will sure miss him, especially my sis. Here is his card:
This was a super fun card to make. I Used the Cricut Damask Decor cart for the card cutout. You wouldn't necessarily go to this cart as most of the cuts are really fancy, but at the bottom of the cart are some great card cutouts like this tree. The Cartridge only cuts out the front so I cut the back of the card to match. My Cuttlebug is such a fantastic find I love it! I used the 'happy birthday' embossing folder for the cuttlebug before I glued on the tree, then inked the embossed words in Versamagic Jumbo Java ink. Cardstock is from Kraft, Core-dinations and the green is from the Robin's Nest. 3 Little Heidi Grace buttons complete the decor and I used the font: Bradley Hand ITC for the sentiment. I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Hi Cindy! I'm glad your feeling better and able to make a card. I'm not going to say I love this one, nor do I hate it, but it is different for sure. But different and trying something different is always good... I wish your sister's family a great and safe 2 years. Hugs, Dawn
