Thank You CAS on Friday

I was so excited to learn that my Hot Beverage - Get Well Card was selected as a one of the top 3 in the CAS on Friday Feel Better Challenge. It's only fitting that I made a Thank You card for the next challenge. The theme for this challenge is Hexagons. I designed the hexagon background in Cricut Design Space, masked the frame of the hexagon with washi tape and then used the spritzer tool to apply a light coat yellow. Supplies are listed below.

Stamps/Images: Sentiment and Hexagons from Cricut Design Space

Paper: Colorbok Snow White Textured, Stampin Up Basic Black

Card Size: A2 (4.25 inches x 5.5 inches)

Accessories: Yellow Alcohol Marker, Stampin Up Spritzer Tool, Stickles Black Enamel Drops

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card today. CAS on Friday Challenge is linked below.

Nautical Birthday Card

It's a cold snowy January day here in Michigan so it only makes sense that I'd make a boating themed card.

I used the Cricut to cut out the stripes, anchors and draw the sentiment. I cut the anchor out 3 times and glued the pieces together to give it more dimension. I also used foam squares to adhere the anchor to the card.

Thanks for checking out my card today!

I used this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for the layout.

Hot Beverage - Get Well Card

Happy New Year and Welcome to the new Julie Makes Cards Blog!

I've got a clean and simple Get Well Soon card to share today.

The layout for this card is from this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I used the adorable coffee cup image from Cricut Design Space to play along with the Cupcake Inspirations coffee/tea time challenge. I also wanted to play along with the CAS on Friday Feel Better challenge and the cup with the little heart is a perfect fit for a get well card. I chose to keep the cup white so it would draw attention to the red heart.
