What's Up Wednesday!

Hi, and Happy Hump Day! Today on here and over at Exploring Cricut I am sharing a quick, basic birthday card:
I'm not going to lie - TIME has been eluding me lately.  My work has been very demanding, my kids are stuck inside due to the TONS of snow we've been getting... A quick card was in order!

I used Cricut's "Celebrate With Flourish" cartridge for the sentiment, and a Darice embossing folder for the background.  I used stickles to highlight the dots in the background and a couple of the letters in the cut.

I hope I've inspired you today - don't forget that when time is tight, a little embossing can go a long way!

There's still time to enter our Valentine's Day Challenge over at Exploring Cricut, and hop along our Blog Hop - Some candy is still up for grabs as well!

Have a great day!

  1. I know what you mean, sometimes you just can't find the time to get done what you want. I love this card and you have inspired me to make some just like it. I may not have that embossing folder, but have something that will work. And I have the CWF cart to use. I have used this cut but it's looking forward to it.
