"Summer Days" Knockoff Card

Happy Monday fellow crafters! It's my turn to post over at the Pumpkin Spice Blog.

Today's card is inspired by a card my SIL got me for Mother's Day. The card is so cute and clever that I knew I had to re-create it.

This is the original store bought card. Isn't it so cute! The little turtle is flying a kite. The kite part is a negative cut and when you open up the card the striped kite reveals itself as a rainbow. Totally adorable.

Here is my knock-off version. I used the Cricut cartridge Create a Critter 1 and 2 to make the bear, kite, and rainbow. The clouds are a metal die cut from white foam. The card base is from Birthday Bash.

"Shop Pumpkin Spice" April Blog Hop

Welcome to the April Pumpkin Spice Blog Hop. Today we are celebrating everything eggs.

I created this egg card for my mother for Easter. It was my time to use some serious glitter!! I don't always bust out the glitter, but when I do...it's amazing! After cutting the eggs using my Cricut, I covered them with Glossy Accents and sprinkled them with glitter. To give them some definition, I inked the edges with dark green ink.
