Stampin' Up some Thanks

I started with a ready-made blank card, stamped a nearly invisible-on-the-scanner Eiffel Tower (Destinations cart) and then used 2 of the Stamps from "Bon Moments". The flowers are colored in with the watercolor crayons. Another lovely features of the Cricut Stamp Material is that it's thin enough to put on a piece of packaging cut to size and slip in the envelope with a card. Great extra gift for a crafter.

This one is for my Stampin' Up Demonstrator who has really gone above and beyond in terms of support. I was so new to all this I didn't know which side of the glue dispensing snail was up. This is actually the second card, the first one was lost somewhere after the last class was cancelled due to inclement weather. The upside is that I thought to include a stamp for her.

Birthday Card

I'm just tickled pink with this card, even though the only pink things are the little flowers on the cake. DD's friend is studying French and liked my Eiffel Tower cards so I used one of the stamps I made out of the Cricut Stamp Sheets with a pale lilac (also used to ink the edge of the mat). The stamps are from Stampin Up's Bon Moments that I just got yesterday in the mail and I used colored pencils to color in the cake. Oh yes, the cake is raised up from the card with my brand new Dimension Dots (?) from SU.

It took about 10 minutes from blank yellow card to finished. Faster than a trip to the store : ).

I was starting to wonder if it was possible to cut stamps with the Gypsy (no speed control), and then it happened. Brand new mat, deep blade housing (4.5), pressure 4, speed set to 1 (it seems to slow it down a little bit).
