Then you open it up:

I created a little pop up for a gift card.  I made it and cut it out on my Silhouette.

I used one of the dot papers to resize and adhere to the tree for a fun effect.  The sentiment was printed onto the paper.  Everything was then cut with my silhouette and put together.  These hybrid cards are so easy peasy!  I love and am adicted to making them.

Wild Hearts Birthday Card

If you know me at all, then you know how crazy I am about Miss Mint's Wild Hearts Papers.  I cannot resist these papers.  I keep coming back to them over and over and over.  Today I am sharing a birthday card that I made using them enjoy!

Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You!!

It was my Father-in-Law's birthday this past weekend. Of course my share for the day is the card I made for him. I am just LOVING my Silhouette. I have not abandoned my Cricut. :) I have a Gypsy on its way to me as I type!!! EEEeeeek! But, I must say that I am really getting into using my Silhouette. There is a print and cut technique that BLOWS IT OUT of the water! In my opinion, if you are going to do any type of hybrid crafting, you must have this little machine. Anyway, I digress . . . I will post more on my little wonder that is my Silhouette at a later time. :) Until then, here is my share today.

Happy BOO to you!

It is officially halloween. We don't celebrate halloween (gasp, roars from the crowd). My mom is a halloween fanatic. I was on the phone with her today and her halloween gag this year is a fake cockroach!!! Every year she does this kind of thing. So this roach is somehow on a string and you can make it jump toward people. She thinks it is sooooo funny to scare people with it. Oh the stories - just like a little kid!! :) I love it. I think it is this kind of thing that keeps one young.

My share today is a card that I made specifically for her. I cannot wait until she sees it. She will probably ask where the "scare" is though. :)
