Birthday Cards

Yesterday was my son's 18th birthday, and it was my mom's birthday as well.  It's been so busy with end of the school stuff for my son, that I was short on time to make birthday cards.  Anyway, here are the two cards that I whipped up for their birthdays.

Here is the card I made for my Mom.

Here is the card I made for my son.

Here is the screen shot from my Gypsy for my Mom's card:

I used the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge for the cake and it was cut at 2 1/2 inches high.  I used a card base bought in a pack from Hobby Lobby, the background cardstock is from The Paper Studio Birthday Extravaganza paper pack and all solid cardstock is adhesive backed cardstock I bought from QVC a few years ago.  The buttons are from the 3 Birds Cute As A Button kit I bought from HSN.

Here is the screen shot from my Gypsy for my son's card:



The car was cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut cartridge at 2 1/2 inches high, Happy Birthday was cut from the Gysy Wanderings cartridge at 2 inches high and the Candles were cut from the Sweet Treats cartridge at 1 inch high.  I used a card base bought in a pack from Hobby Lobby, the background cardstock is from The Paper Studio Birthday Extravaganza paper pack and all solid cardstock is adhesive backed cardstock I bought from QVC a few years ago.


I think the cards turned out pretty good considering I completed them both in about 45 minutes.

  2. Nice card. I saw your post on the Circle MB about the post problems. Thought I would come here and check it out. I love to leave comments for the blogs I follow, but it's been crazy lately with the comments not posting. If you see this, yay for me! Cindy
