An any time sorta card!

Happy Friday Everyone! We made it! The nice thing about this Friday? The humidity is gone! Woo hoo!!!!
I can tell you the garden has loved the hazy, hot, and humid. The J's...not so much!

I had mentioned I made a card. I even mentioned I wanted to share it soon. I am sharing!!! Sometimes it is the small things in life, right?

I used the Campin' Critters cartridge to make this card. All cuts were done at 4 inches. I made this card for  my Dad. The outside sentiment makes this card extremely versatile. Ready to take a peek?

I used my Gypsy. I can't believe it has almost been a year since I found her at a yard sale!!! What a birthday present! That post can be found here.

For those of you that are Cricut Wise...the mat is an off brand mat I picked up at my local craft store.

I like it pretty well, far better than the newer Cricut mats.

The paper is laid out to make the beaver cut found on page 27 of the handbook.

Here's the outside of the card!!!

"We wood like to say"

I used my Martha Stewart Custom Stamp Setting kit to make the sentiment.

It would have been MUCH faster to use the computer. Perhaps, just maybe, I will think of that the next time!

Isn't that versatile? It could be a thank you card, an I love you card, a congratulations card.

You get my drift.

I made it as a birthday card and father's day card for my Dad.

I didn't get his birthday card made in time and I didn't get it made in time for Father's Day either.

/sigh

I DID use the computer for the inside of the card. The inside says...

"We're sorry we've been so dam busy in the garden that your birthday card and Father's Day card are now combined into one. Happy Birthday! Happy Father's Day! Happy Every Day!

ha ha!!! Get it? We WOOD like to say and we've been so dam busy and the beaver on the front.

I know you got it. Sometimes I just crack myself up!!!

I should have cut a bunch of logs to put on the inside of the card.

Oh well.

I think it turned out pretty cute. The cut turned out amazing and I am pretty sure I will be cutting this busy beaver quite a few more times. He was quite easy to put together!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!

I think a garden tour will be up next! Maybe! 

Hugs everyone!!!~Jen

A Hunting he will go

Well, Monday is almost in the books! I am not necessarily a Monday hater, but today....I just wasn't in the mood, at least not for the work part of it. The after work part, well that was pretty cool. I had a night on the town with a besty doing some retail therapy and having some good eats. {heart} her!!!

Moving on! My Dad leaves for Colorado on a hunting trip this week. We live about 100 miles apart. I took this opportunity to make him a fun card. I mailed it on Saturday so I haven't heard from him about it yet. I used my Campin' Critters cartridge to make the cuts. I think it turned out pretty cute. Take a look for yourself.

You can't really tell in this picture, but the tree and deer in the middle is actually on the card with dimensionals. I wished him luck on the inside. It was a fun card to make. This was the first, maybe the second project, where I used the new style Cricut mats, I am not very happy with the stickiness. I was told that my JoAnn's still had some of the old style, I will be checking that out this week. I'd love to hear about the fun, random projects you have made for a friend/loved one.  (Maybe someday my blog will grow up and there will be a linky party for such a thing)  Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week! Drop us a line so we know you were here!!
