Girl birthday card

One of my favorite card sketch designs.

I find myself coming back to this design again and again.

Simple. Fast. Easy.

Happy Birthday Card

Meet today's card.

Birthday wishes card

A week or so back I was in the mood to make some cards but also in the mood to visit with some friends. So why not both? I sent out a few messages. Nothing can top making cards with friends! Our kids even played so nice with each other. Always an extra bonus!

I hope we'll have this opportunity to repeat this as often as the craziness of life allows.

DIY Triangular Paper Tree

To create a triangular tree:
1. cut a 5 inch octagon.
You can cut this on cricut or silhouette or your paper cutter. If you are using your paper cutter follow steps 2 thru 4. If you can cut an octagon on your cricut or silhouette skip to step 5.

2. Measure and mark 1 ½ inches from each corner.

3. Draw a diagonal line to connect each mark.

4. Cut along each diagonal line to create an octagon

5. Cut octagon in half, then half and half again until you have 8 perfect triangular pieces.

If you are making your Christmas cards this year with trees on them this is a simple way to create a lot of perfect looking trees without all the cutting.
