You Are Fabulous! Card
Welcome to our Monthly Joyful Stars February Blog Hop!

This month, I share another card I made from the Artfully Sent Cartridge (exclusively by CTMH). Do you see a pattern here? I love making cards... and I just keep finding myself going to this cartridge because the possibilities are endless and so EASY!

My card measures 5 x 7 when completed. I first used patterned card stock from my stash to make the card base.
Using Colonial White Card Stock, I set my Cricut to 6" and then I selected the 'Pocket Card' setting. Referring to the designs found on page 37 of the booklet included with the cartridge, I cut out the roses with stems pattern.
I turned over the pocket card, after it was cut and covered the roses with a piece of Cranberry card stock. I then covered the stems with a piece of Flaxen card stock that I had 'sponged' first with New England Ivy ink for added dimension. I used Bonding Memories glue to hold the card stock in place and then once it was aligned perfectly, I added additional glue to the entire pocket card and attached it to my card base.
Next, I used a Spellbinders die to cut out a fancy tag from the Colonial White Card Stock and stamped 'You are Fabulous' from the 'So Many Smiles' stamp set (C1619). I inked the edges with the New England Ivy ink (using the sponge Z697). I then used 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to attach my stamped tag to the bottom of the card. For some added 'pizazz' I added Bitty Sparkles (Z1263).
I finished of the card with a hand-tied bow using some satin ribbon I found in my stash and with that, my card was done! I hope you like it. Please leave a comment below and let me know what you think!
