Just For Fun....Let's Play!

My friend, Suzanne, got a Cricut Expression for Christmas.  She came to my house and we "played in the craft room" and she made five adorable cards.

In celebration of her recent purchase, I made her the card above.  The recipe is as follows:

Yellow card is from Michaels...pack of A6 size cards purchased on sale for 99 cents

Background mat from DCWV Pet Stack cut at 4.5 by 6.0 and layered on top of card

Green strip resembling grass cut at 1 by 6 and torn at top, then inked with green chalk ink and adhered to bottom of card

Create A Critter Cartridge:

Doghouse from page 35 cut at 3 3/4 inches

Terrier from page 34 cut at 2 1/4 inches

Dogfood bowl at 1 1/2 inches, "food" embossed with Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles embossing folder

Grass next to doghouse from page 44 (shift key accessory) cut at 1/2 inch (cut five of them)

Grass in front of doghouse from page 45 (shift key accessory) cut at 3/4 inch (cut two of them and popped up on foam tape)

Phrase "Let's Play" from page 40 cut at 1 1/2 inches

All solid colored papers are from Recollections

The envelope is an A6 size envelope made using the Martha Stewart Scoreboard

Sentiment Woof! from Cardztv Barks and Bones stamp set and stamped on the heart on the doghouse

I hope I did not forget anything, Suzanne!  You can copy and paste this and look at your card to help you learn.  I also spent many hours on Youtube watching Mary (Cardztv), Robyn (MyPinkStamper....she is robynstamps on YT) and Pausedreamenjoy (Janis) who is northrose42 on Youtube.

After reviewing this post, I realize how easy it is going to be for me to purchase Suzanne's birthday gift which is in May.

Let the fun begin!

Suzanne, let the fun begin!
