WYEGW - use negative space from a shadow feature



I decided I need to make some cards that are a little more simple, but are still way better than store bought ones. So I took the challenge of making something with the negative image from a shadow feature on the Cricut.

I used the Celebrations Cartridge and went for a birthday theme.
I made the balloon and threw it into a box for later use. I then took the negative image left behind on the paper, embossed it and backed it with pink glitter paper. I then added a little ribbon bow. I wanted there to be space on the bottom right side so I can add numbers later, when I know whom the recipient will be.

Yep, its simple but still has a little extra something that you cant buy at a store. It is also easy so I can make a bunch and have them stored for a "OMG! I forgot!" birthday card.
 Not that I have ever done that! ;)

  2. The embossing on your card totally makes this card. Pink and black is one of my favorite combos!!!!

  4. So adorable Amy, but I have to tell you, when I saw the sneak peek on My Cricut Craftroom I thought it was going to be a pregnancy announcement card. Ha! Ha! Ha! Either way, it is soooo cute!!

  5. Funny you should say that! Making it an announcement was my original plan, but I didnt want to offend anyone. Will definitely be making some though! LOL
