Just 4 You

I got to play with my card-making buddies yesterday and actually managed to get some cards made. We usually have so much to catch up on and then there is that never-ending laughter... Our whole family is invited to my bosses Grandson's 4th birthday party next weekend. Unfortunately, we're going to be in beautiful Sedona, Arizona for my niece's wedding so I made this card to send him to let him know we're thinking of him.

I used my Cricut and my brand-new Create a Critter cartridge. I wasn't going to buy this one and then thought of all the cute animal cards to make for kids. Once I opened it I was very glad I did! The invitation was a dinosaur so I decided to use one of the two dinosaur cuts. Each of the main images has about 5 layers if you cut the shadow. It took my a minute (I'm naturally "slow") to figure them out but once I did it was all good. I used patterned papers from DCWV Citrus collection and solid colored cardstock. Dino is cut at 3.5" and the "just 4 you" is cut at 2". I also used an EK Success border punch and Happy Birthday is from Stamping Solutions cut at 1.5" and run horizontally instead of one word above the other. I used my Cuttlebug and Mosaic folder to emboss the top layer. I think it looks bright and cheery - perfect for a 4-year old. Thanks for dropping in and I always appreciate it if you have time to leave a comment.
