spring and baby cards!
Shaped spring card.
supplies:
3 Birds Super Sticker Nestables Foil and Glitter Set.
3 Birds Must Have Textured Cardstock Stack.
3 Birds 3D Sticker Embellishment Kit.
instructions:
Fold 12*12 pink cardstock in half.
Peel off the very center of large sticker.
Place round sticker (heart border, flower) on the folded cardstock, making sure a small amount of the circle hangs over the top, folded seam of the card base.
Before completely adhering edges of flower to cardstock, place some of the leaf stickers underneath the petals.
tip 1: Use a tiny amount of baby power and rub it on the sticky spot that overhangs the top of the card, this will make it non-sticky so it won't be sticking to your table.
Cut around the circular edges of the large sticker, being sure to cut thru both the front and back of folded card.
tip 2: If you want to use the shape of the center of the large sticker, but don't particularly like the way the pattern works with your project you can try this tip: I took the sticker and placed it on the back of a patterned paper that I wanted to use. Then I simply used my scissors and cut around the shape, flip it over and there you have the shape you want with the patterned paper you want.
Once you have the center ready, adhere to the center of your large flower using foam adhesive for dimension.
Use some circle punches and cut out pink then a smaller green circle, layer and adhere to center of flower.
Finish this card by adhering butterfly, title and flower to card as seen.
Here's another card I made using Cricut 3 Birds on on Parade Full Content Cartridge.
Stork baby boy card.
Hope that gives you some good tips and new ideas!, Charity

Women's retreat
This past weekend I went on my church Women's Retreat to St. Simon's Island. It was fantastic- time away from home, with the girls, great speaker, singing worship songs and great Bible study! We laughed, stayed up till 1:30 am talking, went on a late night run to cvs for mascara and went thru the Starbuck's drive thru for a cup of joe too! It was great to encourage each other, pray with each other, and learn together.
After the Bible studies, etc. we went shopping and ate at a local restaurant... they had the best pumpkin bread and sweet tea! yum! Here are some pics...
