Sofia the First Cards

Phew!  What a busy week being back at work!!  I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to made some birthday and thank you cards the weekend.  I used quite a few Jaded Blossom dies on both of my cards.

First up is a birthday invite.  I started with a card base that I purchased from Hobby Lobby with the intention of adding a card mat die.  As I was putting it together, I realized the card base was not the correct size which resulted in me using the border dies on each side of the card.  I also used the scalloped circle and the stitched circle.  For Sofia, I decided to give the print & cut feature of my cricut explore a try.  (After this first try, I think I'm in love with this feature!!)

For my second project I created a thank you card.  For this one I decided to create my own card base by printing the thank you statement with my printer and then cutting the paper in the dimensions of an A2 card.  The design layout came from a Stamp Annie Thing blog post.  I again used the print & cut feature to cut out Sofia.  I again used the card mat die, as well as the mat for the goodie bag die, and the fancy topper die.  

Thanks for stopping by!!
