Thank You in Surf's Up

I needed to make a card for an upcoming party.   Since it's summer, I thought using the Surf's Up paper would be perfect!  


I used Honey and Sorbet ink for my palm tree and flower, first inking the stamp in honey and then rolling the edges in Sorbet.  I love the look of this technique.   The palm tree, flower and little waves are from the stamp set Tropical Paradise (C1531).

I cut the conversation bubble using the Artiste Cricut cartridge and stamped it with "thanks" using a stamp set that is included in the Artiste Cricut Cartridge Collection.

This card makes me want to go to the beach!

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Heart2Heart challenge - create something tropical
CAS-ual Fridays - Banners or Flags

    The colors you chose remind me of juicy pineapples! Love the banner accents and the bit of baker's twine too!

    Thanks for sharing with us at Heart2Heart Challenges this week! I hope the party was terrific!

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 measurement to 2".               To re
