40th Birthday Cake Card

     I love the look on this cakes face and it couldn't be anymore appropriate for my sister in law's 40th birthday card from me to her. I really hope she loves it and I think she will.
     I started out by using the Gypsy cart Smiley Cards. You can only get it for the Gypsy but the last time I looked you couldn't get it for that anymore. So I'm sorry to those who can't and would of loved to make this cake.
     I cut the cake out at 4-1/2". I didn't like the idea of the candles being the same color of the cake as the initial cut calls for so I cut an extra and cut the candles off to place on here. I colored the flames with Stickles and mounted it on a 4"x 5-1/4" layer and mounted that onto a 4-1/4"x 5-1/2" card. Here are the details:

• Cricut cart: Smiley Cards
• Paper: Bazzill
• Twine: We Are Memory Keepers
• Stickles: Yellow and Fruit Punch
• Cuttlebug: Happy Birthday
• Adhesive: Scotch, Recollections, Zig 2-way

     Please enjoy the card and thank you so much for looking at it. I can't wait for my SIL to open it! Have a great day. :)

Strawberry Card

     Here is my latest creation. I had such a blast making this strawberry card. I started with making the bowl of strawberries from Cricut cartridge Simply Charmed. I cut it at 3-1/2". I then cut the smiling strawberry at 2-1/2" The vines are hand sewn on and are from Sew Easy. The card it's self is 4-1/4"x 5-1/2". Here are the rest of the details:

• Cricut cart: Simply Charmed
• Paper: Bazzill
• Ribbon: Ofray
• Stickles: Pink, Lime Green, and Star Dust
• Thread: DMC
• Embroidery: WRMK-Sew Easy

     I am entering my card into two challenges:

     I hope you enjoy my card and thank you so much for taking a look at it. Have a great weekend. :)
