3x3 Calling Cards

Hello!!! I am SO sorry I have been MIA for a couple of days! I went to a crop on Friday night - a Cricut Circle crop in San Jose and just had a BLAST! The ladies were lovely, it was low key, AND I even got something done! But I can't show it to you yet... :) 

At every Cricut Circle meet-up, we make old fashioned 3x3" calling cards. We can put whatever we want on the front and the back will have our information: name, email address, and blog site. It's like having business cards to trade with each other but super fun. 

I made three versions based on the amount of paper I had. All in all, we made 30 of these to pass around. 

If you ever have any questions about the Circle, I am ALWAYS happy to answer them as I LOVE the Circle! :) 

Recipe:

• Patterned Paper:
• Echo Park: Springtime "Spring Day"™ (yellow stripe)
• Echo Park: Springtime "Whimsy Scallops"™ (scallops)
• Echo Park: Springtime "Delightful Stripe"™ (yellow)
• Cartridge: 3 Birds on Parade™ (ON SALE FOR $14.99!!!)
• My Pink Stamper: Happiest Moments™

Above: Diana L. (left) and Lezlye L. (right) - both Shop Pumpkin Spice DT sisters! :) Lezlye and I have gotten together to craft before and we have an awesome time together! 

Above: I was SOOOOO tickled pink to meet Lori (Got2BeCrafting). She is JUST as sweet in person as she is online and I hope to see LOTS more of her and to call her a long time crafting friend. 

 This is Shannon Learner from Provo Craft showing us how to do our make and take for the night! She is so super sweet. We really had a blast with her! A HUGE thanks to PC for sponsoring and coordinating the event! 

Somehow I avoided getting my picture taken but next time I want to take pics with everybody! :) 

Have a lovely day and I'll be back on Wednesday with my Shop Pumpkin Spice post for the week! :) 

You Make My Rainy Day Bright

I. Love. ShopPumpkin Spice.

I. Also. Love. 3 Birds On Parade.

Haha! I'm SO sorry if two of the chubbiest cute blue birds in a row are too much, but I just love them! This was actually the first card I made and I made it for Shantaie. 

I won her blog candy which was 3 Birds on Parade and I have been having a lot of change going on in my life and it's been pretty hard on me. I'm a creature of habit. Husband got new job, new car (that's the fun part), moved out of our house in 5 days flat... just a lot for me. I know that we're right where we are supposed to be and change is sometimes hard, but there is SOOO much to be thankful for EVERY day. And when I won that blog candy I teared up and I wanted to let her know that on a rough day, her generosity was the thing that made me smile from ear to ear. 

Everything on this card came from Shop Pumpkin Spice except for the crinkled ribbon.

This also might be one of my favorite cards I have ever made.

Blue Bird Santa

Hello and welcome to the product swap with Glue Arts and Imaginisce!!! We were super blessed to receive some product from them and I used everything they sent me in this project! THANK YOU GLUE ARTS!

I was surprised how much I liked the "Raisen's". Since they were clear they really disappeared and gave just a slight amount of dimension. I really liked it! 

 Hmm... This one didn't show up as ell as I wanted it to. It's the Glue Glider Pro on the white, but I guess that's a good thing! It's invisible! :) 

Well, you all know how much I love Extreme Adhesive Squares so I was jumping up and down when these were attached to the back of a Glue Glider refill! I loved them!!!

 I just wrapped the extra back onto the clothespins and they were AWESOME at sticking to my paper! Very impressive for something so small! 

Finished product. I just love this little fat blue bird! He's SOOOO cute!

The U-Cut-It foam is really tall. Which is awesome because I LOVE the dimension it brings. It made his fake beard really look like he had just added it to his face! FUN!
