You’re #1

Hey everybody – happy first Friday in September! I hope you have something fun planned for this long Labor Day weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Cut It Up Challenges and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for #364 – In Shape! We want to see your shaped card, so I played with my Cricut and the Simply Crafty SVGs Fan Finger SVG cut file, and made a card that could be used for a variety of occasions. This fan finger SVG cut file is from 2022 and I’m not sure why it has taken me so long to use it! Such an easy card to assemble and I like how it turned out!

Using my Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Simply Crafty SVGs Fan Finger SVG cut file, I cut the pieces from CutCardStock Basis White and Flamingo cardstock along with a print in the Keep It Simple Crafty Girls Flip Sides Pack.

For the inside panel, I used the Love From Lizi Stitched Rectangle Nested Cutting Dies to cut rectangles from Basis White and Flamingo, and adhered them together. I used the Keep It Simple Back To Basics Birthday Sentiments stamp set to stamp the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black and Catherine Pooler Polished inks. So what occasion would you send this kind of card for?

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)

  1. Hi Leslie! This is such a fun shaped card and just perfect for giving to a sports fan. What a great shaped card! Thanks so much for having me as a guest designer this week. I enjoyed the challenge to make a shaped card.

  2. I typed a long comment and because I did the right thing and cleared my history yesterday, now none of my passwords work, even the ones that should, grrr. Why does it have to be so hard? Sorry, Leslie, little rant there. You might get two comments from me, but that’s okay because you will know I love your fun design TWICE and I’ll bet you get a lot of use out of it now that you’ve done it and see how versatile it is! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
