I LOVE this card!!!! its SO....CUTE!!!! its for my niece, she'll be 7. I used the Everyday Paperdolls cart cut @ 3.72"h, ( I changed out the hair and shoes) Peachy Keen face stamps and jute cord for the jump rope (I used a scrap of red paper for the "handles" and put a mini glue dot at the top of the rope). The sentiments were done on the silhouette.

Another Birthday card...do you see a trend?...LOL!

Since my favorite sellers of cricut carts don't exist anymore (Oh my Crafts and proudparents on ebay) and PC hasn't updated their library and theres problems w/updates...I haven't bought I new cart or updated anything since last summer... I'm very PROUD of myself!!! My NEW TREND is called "Getting to know the carts you already have" ROTFLOL!!! heres a card I made for my niece.
Supplies:
All Sports cart- swimmer on front @ 5.08"h, I used vellum for the goggles and peachy keen face stamp. isn't it CUTE!! the sentiments were done with the silhouette. Inside of card the diver is cut @ 5.45"h  the face is so little I drew it on by hand...LOL the waves are from Plantin Schoolbook @ 1.47"h
Using All Sports cart reminds me of the newspaper comic strip "Love is...." except I say "Birthdays are like..." LOL....I like this cart..I have quite a few cute sentiments planned....the only thing is some of  the layers are way to small for a standard card...GEEZ PC what were you thinking?? not all of us do LO!

I LOVE MY SILHOUETTE!!! I love the fact that I can print/cut a sentiment otherwise I would of just put a shamrock on top. Which would of been OK, but I like sentiments!!

Sentiment done on the silhouette- SO QUICK and EASY!! I used printer paper, since I wanted it to curve.

LOVE this card!!! This card is for my niece. I really put on my thinking cap and got creative, I used several different carts and ALL my machines..LOL  I won't tell you how old she is...its kind of obvious..LOL
Supplies:
 Banner is from the silhouette cameo @ 3.75"w
Girl is from the Imagine "Best Friends" @ 3.25"(my niece actually looks like that!!)
name is from "Lyrical letters" @ .75"
hand is from "A Childs Year" @ 2.75"
#5 is from "cursive 101" @ 1.30"
Cuttlebug "swiss Dots" embossing folder
4 pink rhinestones
and embroidery thread pink

The BEST part is the HB banner made with the silhouette cameo!!!! None of my PC machines would have been able to do this.... it was so easy and QUICK on the silhouette!!! Yes, the tiny little triangles were cut out and I glued them to the thread and then draped the thread across the card. COOL HUH??
 See, ALL my machines work very well together. Yeah, I know it was a lot of money to spend on a machine just to print/cut text but its worth it to me...Now my cards will be extra special cause I can add text/sentiments...The silhouette is for small text/sentiments only and I will ALWAYS use my PC carts for my die cutting. I am a CRIC AHOLIC!!!!! ROTFLOL!!!!

PS...I helpful tip..on the imagine I LOVE the border(shadow) feature but on this girl tho I didn't like the color it gave.  I changed the border color to match the card base...it blends in with the rest of the card and you hardly notice it.. NEAT HUH?? I gotta start remembering to do that for now on.
