Dump Truck Birthday Card

Hi all! My nephew turned two this month. He loves trucks so I decided to make him a dump truck birthday card. I recently purchased the Movers & Shakers: Spinners Die Collection from Papertrey Ink. I really like this die set, works great. The only thing I did different was to use penny's instead of the circle die the set came with. Penny's just seemed to work better for this project.

Hi everyone. I wanted a dust cover for my Cricut Imagine and saw some really pretty ones at Kathy's Cozies Etsy Shop. I decided to try and make it myself. Turned out pretty good for my first try. I need to find something to put on the front on the yellow strip. Maybe some football buttons or something.

Red White and Blue Cowboy Birthday Card

Hi! Here's a birthday card I made for a friend's 50th birthday. The party was a western theme so I decided to use the cowboy from A Child's Year cartridge. The cowboy has little star spurs on his boots, so I went with a red, white, and blue theme. I really like the denim paper stack used for this card. The pocket was a design on the cardstock and it worked perfect to hold a gift card.
