Too many crafting toys.....too little time to play :( Welcome to my blog diary! I started out with a baby bug (original Cricut), upgraded to other Cricuts, then playing with the Silhouette Cameo mostly nowadays. I also started dabbing into digi stamping and digital scrapbooking. Thanks for stopping by!

I heard you needed cheering up
Hi there! Wanted to share with you all an A2 sized card I created using a digi stamp from Polly Craft, free digital images from computerscrapbook.com (for the inside of the card), and a filigree card base by Samantha Walker (purchased through Silhouette Store). I am linking this card at the She's a Sassy Lady blog.
I was not sure how my dull blade in my Cameo was going to handle the intricate design on this card front, so I printed 3 of the Polly Craft digi stamp onto an 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock before cutting them with the Cameo. Well, they ALL cut well enough, so I ended up with 3 perfectly cut card fronts LOL! The sentiment says "I heard you needed cheering up", but I forgot to jot down what font I used to type it (yikes!).
After coloring the image with my Prismacolor pencils, I decided to hand stitch around it, following the little stitch marks.
I tied a bow to the base of the card before adhering the inside mat and the front. Here's a peek at the inside of the card. The images inside were free png images from kits I downloaded from computerscrapbook.com. I just added some irock gems inside and outside of the card.
Well I'm sending this card over in the mail today, so off to the post office I go. Have a wonderful day!
