"Cars" Birthday Card

This is a birthday card I made for my father-in-law. 

I used Cricut's Cars paper and embellishments.  I found these at JoAnne's on clearance.

The actual card is very easy to create.  Cricut Design Space has pre-made box card through Cricut Acess or you can cut them by hand.  I used the template below from Laura Volpes.





Don't forget to embellish the sides.  I usually cut the squares 2 1/2 x 2 1/2.  

The front flaps I used a corner rounder on.  You can leave square if you want.

I take clear acetate from packaging to use to "float" the embellishments in the  middle of the card. 

The card will fold flat for mailing.

Cricut Quick Cards and Tag

As part of a swap group that encourages us to use our Cricut machines we had three (3) partners.

All images were cut with the Cricut Explore Air 2.

My first partner likes vintage campers and I remember seeing one in Design Space, so I made her a card.

The image is from the Wild Card 2 cartridge.



My second partner loves Game of Thrones, so I made medevial theme card with a dragon.

The dragon image came from the Stickers cartridge.

The castle image came from the World Tour cartridge.

The Happy Birthday images came from the Cake Basics cartridge.



My third partner loves Cactus (Cacti?) so I made her a cute tag.

The tag came from the Very Merry Tags cartridge.

The Cactus and hat came from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge.

The Hello Clip came from the Bits & Pieces cartridge.



Make it a crafty day!
