Cricut Framed Friendship Card

This card is simple and can be made in a variety of ways if you don’t have a Cricut machine. Try pre-cut frames, or you can use other die cut frames such as Spellbinders.

I used gold embossing powder, gold stickles, and gold peel-off stickers for this card. It’s simple & fast!

Smile Pennant Card

I keep seeing pennant cards everywhere, so I thought I would give one a try :) My triangle shapes were just made using a punched square cut in half. That made it super easy since I don’t have a triangle-shaped punch.

I also used adhesive jewels and a Smile stamp (one I got from a markdown rack at a craft store). So it’s a super easy card, but really cute for everyday, birthdays, etc. This would also work for a guy’s card, a major bonus because I always have a hard time coming up with guy’s cards!

Thanks So Much Card

This is a very simple Thank You Card, but the different placement of the greeting with the ribbon woven underneath sets it off quite nicely.

Because I used pearl paper, I also used a solvent ink (StazOn) so it wouldn’t smear on the slick paper. The ribbon is just a generic 1″ satin white ribbon.

Video instructions below :)

Graphic 45 Easel Card

Easel cards are awesome & fun! They look complicated, but with just an extra piece of paper and a folded part, you can make one in minutes!

I used Graphic 45′s Le Romantique paper for this lovely look! My Scor-Pal came in handy to make the scored line perfectly straight, and I used gold mini round brads for the accents.

Horse Happy Birthday Card

This cute Happy Birthday card was made using the Inkadinkado Horses Stamp Set and then the wrapped string was so easy after using the Southwest Corner Punch!

With the muted background, this is easily suitable for a man, but try change it up with some bright colors and it will also work well for a lady.

Follow along below for the details :)

Ribbon Tree Card

This little tree was made simply by looping ribbon and taping it down with double-sided tape. I used Scor-Tape. It is a bit easier to use than Tacky Tape because you can tear off the amount that you want with your hands instead of needing scissors. (Hahaha…please excuse my lack of dexterity in the video ;) I felt like such a klutz. How come that stuff doesn’t happen when you’re not doing it for anything special?)

I also used the Southwest Corner Punch, a snowflake brads and a stamp. I embossed both the stamped image & snowflake with Ranger’s Gold Embossing Powder.

Colorful Tree Card

Whew, it’s almost too late for a fall card, but I’ll sneak this one in anyway because it was fun :) We’ve already had snow here and the temperature was -10 last night! So maybe if you have the same weather as we have, this card will warm you up!

I used Inkadinkado’s Utopiary Stamps, some crayons, leaf brads and Ranger Distress Inks to make this card.

Pierced Star Card

Here’s a fast and easy card you can make for all sorts of occasions! I like it because it works not only for Christmas, but also for a man’s birthday card. For me, it’s very difficult to come up with men’s cards. I always like things fluffy & flowery :) For some reason, guy’s don’t appreciate that so much :)

I used the Hot Off the Press Paper Piercing Template and also 3-D star brads, and added a simple greeting at the bottom. That’s it!

Vintage Thankful Card

Well, this card might not be totally vintage with the fresh colors of the paper, but the lace, flowers and jewels remind me of vintag-y things :)

This card was so fast to make, it was crazy! Hope you get a chance to look during this busy Thanksgiving season :) .

I used Ranger Distress Ink to color the lace in just a few seconds, that’s all the older I had time to make it look lol
