Blogoversary Card


A card recently made to celebrate one year of blogging for Jen at Pieces of Me. She calls it a

"Blogoversary" and was celebrating with a surprise giveaway...so of course I couldn't resist the

challenge! This card is really outside the box for me and usually not my style...but I wanted to

try something different. Saw a challenge a while back on Bitten By the Bug to create something

using the crown from Cricut's Happily Ever After cart...something I would never have

thought of doing myself, but I loved what the designers came up with and wanted to try one too.




The front of this tri-fold card was cut away close to the crown to reveal the patterned paper on

the inside. Sentiment on second page was printed off center so it would remain hidden by

the crown until card is opened. Crown was embellished with rhinestones (left over from


ice skating costumes) and colored acrylic gems

from Photocraft Hawaii. Rub ons from American

Crafts, Blossoms from Prima, glittered brad from

Making Memories, swirly die cut from Quickutz,

and a bit of Stickles for extra bling.
