Hello Kitty Birthday

Our beautiful daughter will turn 7 years old this week. It is hard to imagine that this amazing bundle of joy has been in our lives for almost seven years already. Right now, she is into all things Hello Kitty! She absolutely loves it. So, needless to say, we are having a Hello Kitty birthday party. I have had the cartridge out on the craft table for a couple of weeks creating invitations, decorations, and birthday cards. Here are a couple of cards I created. I am also entering the birthday card in the Shape It Up challenge on the Heart 2 Heart blog.

Fancy Schmancy Card

For the Little Black Dress challenge on the Heart 2 Heart blog, I decided to do a fancy schmancy card. I just love that word. It sounds like a Fancy Nancy word, which might mean that I spend too much time hanging out with 6 year old girls, lol! Anyway, I decided to really bling it up this time and create a very embellished card with Black, White, and a splash of Lagoon. I love the For Always textiles. They are so easy to work with and create a box pleat. This was such a fun card to create!

Frosted Card

I am seriously in love with the Frosted paper pack! It has been out on my scrap table for the last few weeks and every time I start to create something, I reach for this paper. It is so versatile and easy to use. I love the paper flowers that we can cut with the Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges and the quilling tool makes putting them together super easy. So, here is another card using the Frosted paper pack for this weeks challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. The sketch is below. We would love to have you play along with us!I am also entering this card in the Lots of Layers challenge on the Heart 2 Heart blog.
