Well this project is a day late. Sorry about that. This card was made for my mom a few weeks back. I must tell you all again how much my Sizzix Texture Boutique is the best. Embossing my projects really adds that extra fun. I used the Cricut Cartridge Straight From The Nest. Enjoy.

Supplies Needed;

Cricut Cutting Machine

Cricut Cartridge Straight From The Nest

Sparklie and Solid Cardstock

Glitter Pearls

Sizzix Texture Boutique or Cuttle Bug



Instructions;

Cut 1- 1 3/4 in Border Flouish 1 and 1 1 1/4 in Butterfly 1 and shift, (use multi cut for the sparklie paper on the wings). Make sure to cut the flourish in half, use half for each corner of the card.

Cut a mat for card and emboss it with whichever template you would like, adhere to card, add assembled images and accents. Just cut a small mat for writing words on, use decorative corner rounder for the edges.

Super easy and fun to make.







Have a Great Creative Day Everyone!!

Blessings,
Carol
