November Cards

Here is my first attempt at card making. I was pretty ambitious and wanted to impress the group! This was not a standard sized card, so it doesn't fit in any normal envelopes (a legal envelope worked). I printed the words with the computer; not stamped like many women's.

This is my second card - yes I have a Cricut machine! But I thought it was rather cumbersome for mass producing cards. It was a hassle to cut that many words out and even worse to glue them all down on the cards. I will be using it for scrapbooking only from now on I think!

I wanted to put a touch of color on the inside of this card so I cut a coordinating strip of paper and put it on the edge of the card and punched flowers from the solid blue as an accent.

I frequently print text for my cards rather than stamping it. So much more control and I'll never have all the fonts I want in stamps so...

Lucky you with your Cricut! Loved that card!

I'm curious about this little machine though! It will cut "any true-type font"... I would be in heaven! I am a font junkie!
