We make a "Rad Pear" Card w/ video!



You know what? I love paper!!! For many reasons but mainly because I am many times inspired by paper and this is definitely one of those times! I was trying to design something on my gypsy and I just didn't like what was coming up on the screen. So I turned it off and thought I was in a phunk. So I started skimming through my Basic Grey Paper and lo and behold I run across this paper in the Offbeat paper pad! IT inspired me to make this card! A combo I would've never thought of on my own! But they do make a cute couple!
Materials:
Cricut Carts
Preserves(Pear, I hid the seeds with the hide contour feature)

Ahh, I hope you get what I'm getting at! Anyways, Thanks for looking!

"Homage to the U.S"July 4th Card


This 4th of July is kind of extra special than the others I've gone through.This past year I've learned the entire U.S History and I loved it.

I am still proud to have Cuban roots but am also glad to have been born and grown in this beautiful country. So this card is just paying a bit of homage to the good ol' US of A:)
