Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut Cartridge Birthday Card Times 2

Cricut Cartridges, Cricut Hello Kitty Greetings

Today my kitty, Domino, has been acting completely CRAZY!!  He’s howling and running around the house…basically doing things he doesn’t normally do.  It’s all because he can’t find the kids.  🙁  Today was their first day back to school.  Poor Domino.  Maybe this card will make him feel better?  I hope it’s his birthday.  😐

The REAL Story is…It was my sister-in-law Lizard’s birthday and I needed to make her a card.  Yes, I really call her that.  No, it’s not her name. 😉  So, I made this card.  When I was through I decided that I didn’t like it.  So…

I cut it up and made this…

Cute…even though the pink parts aren’t long enough on the left and it drives me crazy.  You know what?  I was having an “off” day.  Does this happen to you?  You just have those days where you shouldn’t be driving the Cricut?  Yeah.  Me too.

However, I did pull out the Martha Stewart loop punch around the page.  Hey, that reminds me!!  I got a bunch of new MS stuff that I haven’t played with yet because I was producing Cricut Vinylology.  Woo hoo!!  I’m off to shop in my own craft room!  LOL!

HAVE A SUPER DAY!

  1. I think you did a great job Joy. Although I have to admit I do like the second one a bit more. I love how you "cut it up" and it still looks great. I can never do that. :)

  2. Thats what makes it special the little goof ups. Cute card. And Happy Birthday to you S-I-L. Its my DH Birthday too!

  4. Yes, Joy. I have those days more often than I'd like! I do like the second card better, but the first was cute, too. I didn't even notice the pink strip until you pointed it out, but I am that way about my own work. I am a perfectionist with my cards, so it takes me hours to make the same card most whip up in minutes! I love how you used the MS punch just to the corner on one side!!!

  5. I know exactly what you mean! I actually have a card I made for my nephew that I am going to take apart and redesign. LOL I like the bling on the second card~ SIL is gonna like it!! TFS Lori http://got2bcrafting.blogspot.com/

  6. Hello Joy I love your Hello Kitty Card... It really adorable love all the colors you picked out... how you get the pink loops around the card is that a on the cart or did you cut it with a punch ?? Love your Blog The Scrapbooking Queen

  7. Loved the second card too! Sometimes a rework is just what is needed to make it look right or be visually right!

  9. It's about time you posted one of your creations, it made my day. I think both cards are very cute, the second one a little cuter. Edge punches are fun, love to use them.

  10. I like the second one better too :-) I was just going through my Give a Hoot cartridge and I found a lot of borders there. :D

  11. I liked both of the designs....but liking that punched border on number two quite a bit! She'll be happy with it!

  12. Hi Joy, I loved both of your cards. I know my granddaughter would love it also.May have to copy it.

  14. Mine day was this last sunday. the glue, the cricut cutting mat & I where not friends at all. Your card came out great and I am huge hello kitty fan.

  17. Super cute, Joy! I hate it, too, when the piece isn't long enough. I've been known to slit it behind the top-most layer so that it will fit. I do that fairly often with ribbon because I'm pretty sure I can use that one inch I've saved somewhere else ;o)

  18. Joy, Just ran across your website through You Tube, looking for info using the cricut lite cart... I loved all your projects, but especially this card. I do a lot of scrapbooking for my 7 yr. old twin grandaughters, (thus the name scrapingrammie.) Your videos have been very helpful, as I am needing help with the more difficult cartridges. Thanks for all your help. I love all types of crafting and can`t wait to see some things you do for Christmas.
