Birthday Card for Mojo Monday

Looking for the January Stamp of the Month?  Click HERE.

I was supposed to spend the day reorganizing and cleaning my scrap room.   But it was hard to stay focused on what I needed to do.  I did put a few things away and hung a pretty Bulletin board my daughter got me for Christmas.  I really wanted to create instead of clean.  I finally sat down and created this quick Birthday Card using this week's Mojo Monday sketch.


The paper is from Elemental Level 2 paper pack (X7141B).  My lace doily was cut from Smoothie cardstock using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (Z1686).  Shift Font Layer <Flur DeLs>  I cut it at 3 1/4".  I wanted a chocolate butterfly so I mixed Chocolate Re-inker with Pearl Create A Shade paint.  I just love that big chunky Chocolate Stripe Ribbon (Z1617)!  My birthday sentiment is from Card Chatter - Birthday (D1475).  I also used the Opaque Mocha Adhesive gems (Z1333) for my final touches.

Here is the Mojo Monday sketch:

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
