New Year's Cards

Welcome back!

I wanted to share a few New Year's cards that I made. While visiting my parent's during the Holidays, we spent some time crafting. We usually plan to make at least one project and I bring over my scrappin' supplies. But this trip I needed the extra room for all the presents, so the only scrappin stuf I took was a few newer cartridges that my Mom doesn't have yet. I figured since my mom has a Cricut and cartidges (and tons of paper!), I'd play around with her stuff. I do have to admit, I felt left out with my Mom and SIL playing with their new Cricuts. (Santa also brought me an Expression this year, but it was left behind.)

Here are some cards that I made using the Celebrate With Flourish Lite cartridge.

Don't you just love the colors on this one!


I am entering this card in the Cricut Cardz Challenge #56.


The patterned papers are DCWV
The silver prismatic paper is from Crayola
I used blue Stickles to add to the hat and flourishes
I added some gemstones using the i-Rock

Thanks for stopping by!
