Happy Birthday, Ashley!


My first attempt at using the Dreams Come True cart to make a card for my niece's birthday. The details on these cuts are amazingly intricate and can be really difficult to piece together with my clumsy hands and blind eyes! The front of this tri-fold card was inspired by Susan Bluerobot, who very
generously shares many of her great tips, ideas, and design studio cuts on her blogsite. Used cuttlebug fantasy embossing folder for the side panel and a prima blossom to keep the card closed. Happy Birthday is printed on yellow vellum.

All Aladdin characters including Jasmine, the genie and Abu are from the Dreams Come True cart and the fancy birthday cake from the Celebrations cart. Krylon gold leafing pen used to color in gold accents and Gelly Roll Glaze pens for intricate eye details that were too small for my cricut to handle.



The inside of the card and closeups:








This mega-sized cut for the gift bag was also created with Dreams Come True and Design Studio. Definitely a lot easier and faster to piece together when cuts are as large as this!
