I'm fortunate....I have some wonderfully close friends and am grateful for each one.
I made this card tonight celebrating friendship with the Forever Young cartridge (another knocked off in my personal challenge...Yay Me!) which is a cartridge I've had for some time and never used. I am also entering it in the FCCB #71 "Let's Be Friends" Challenge.
I made this card which is a scraplift of a card in the June/July issue of Cricut Magazine. I used printed papers from My Minds Eye (Grand Vignettes) and some paper scraps of red and white. The ribbon is Offray...the printed black and white ribbon is wider but I folded it and secured it...I like the way the folded ribbon looked. I also used a lacy punch from Martha Stewart and a Friends sentiment from Paper Trey Ink. Fast card... (the ladies were all cut out at 3.25 inches). I added just a touch of bling...a besides friends...a girl's gotta have bling, too!
The Forever Young cartridge also has a purse feature. There are at least 3 dozen shaped purses on the cartridge. I made this one very quickly with one piece of 12 x 12 cardstock and a small piece for an insert. I used my Gypsy and made the purse as large as I could (which was about 5.25 inches). I didn't do any embellishing...but I think the purses are so cute and would make such cute gift card holders or a holder for small things like BLING!
Here it is:
It was so fast and easy...very cute with lots of possibilities... a few extra touches like some ribbon, flowers, etc. would make this so cute!
Happy Crafting!
