Criss Cross Card :)

WOW! There are so many fun things happening this weekend on blogs and on Facebook for National Scrapbook Day. I am lucky to have a little bit of time today to join the fun :) I made a Criss Cross card for one of the challenges at Frosted Designs.

I love making this kind of card fold! I used papers from my Crate Paper "Restorations" 6x6 pad. I used a kraft card base inked in black.

Here's a close up of the belly band that holds the card together. I used that fun pinwheel flower from American Crafts with a Paper Smooches sentiment.  The recipient can slide it off to reveal the inside:

I used some of the border paper with the subtle pattern on the fuscia paper so I can write my message inside. I think this card will be for my bestie who is graduating grad school in a few weeks :) So proud of her. Thanks for stopping by today! :)

Cricut Cardz - Challenge #87

Welcome to another challenge at Cricut Cardz! This was a real challenge for me. Create a thank you card using any cricut cartridge, use a heart image, AND no red/pink. I was stumped!

First, I picked out the heart I wanted to use on the Sweethearts cartridge.. then I sorted through my paper and nothing non red/pink was jumping out at me. Then, I turned to my ~cough cough~ stacks! ~cough~ of neglected 6x6 pads and decided to use papers from Crate Paper's Restorations line.

I ~love~ the result!

What do you think? I love how challenges help stretch our creativity and step outside our box ;)
