Encouragement/Friendship Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy and Cricut Artiste Cartridges

DT Project for The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 67 - All Creatures Great and Small

Hi to everyone reading this.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I know the weather still hasn't improved for some; but I am hoping all of you see Spring very soon.  It has been nice here in Southern CA.  We actually had rain earlier in the week; with cool temperatures and breezy.  We needed the rain.

It is time for another challenge at The Squirrel and The Fox - Challenge 67 - All Creatures Great and Small.  That should be an easy one for all of you; as there are a lot of little and big creatures ready to be placed on a card.  Our sponsor this week is Oak Pond Creations.  Be sure to drop over and take a look at their wonderful products.  I didn't use their image this week; because I really wanted to use my new CTMH Unicorn Dreams Stamp Set.  I love Unicorns and had to have this one.

The picture wasn't as good as I wanted; but I did the best I could.  I embossed the Unicorn with White Embossing powder; but it actually looks grainy on the picture.  It is very pretty in person, with a gorgeous white shine to it.  Most cards are prettier than the pictures.  The card base was created using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  I use the AP cart on almost all my cards; but haven't used the 100 card bases in quite a while.  This one is my favorite shape of all the cards.

Using CTMH Unicorn Dreams - D1583 and Cricut Art Philosophy for several of the Die Cuts

    1. Thank you so much Wendy for leaving me a comment about my card. I really appreciate it. Could you please take the W off of my name. It is PurplegloCreations. Everyone wants to add a W. LOL! It stands for Purple Gloria; since that is my favorite color. Have a fabulous day! Hugs, Gloria

    2. Apologies that I got your blog name wrong Gloria. We don't usually add those, but I thought it would be a nice touch. I think I'll stick to just the names in future. My team mate corrected it for you. :)

    3. Thanks Wendy. It has happened many times. No worries. I just like it corrected in case someone is just looking it up by the name. I appreciate you adding our blog on there. It is great for others to be able to visit the winners blogs without trying to scroll down to see where they are on the big long list of entries. I normally look for the winners; so I can leave them a nice compliment. We do appreciate the extra effort. Please don't stop because of on mistake. LOL! Have a great day! Hugs, Gloria
