flower Soft... have you heard of these yet??

I was at Frozen in Time (maize rd) on saturday browsing around and saw these awesome cards that had a 3d effect....  I was in Awe and also broke...  so...  I just asked a lot of questions and drooled a bit over the awesome colors.  (can you imagine that huh??  lol)

well... the flower soft is also the name of the company.  It is a "flock" style look.  There is a glue that you put on the area of interest and you put this 'flower soft' stuff on it and it gives it an awesome awesome look!!  

They had as an example a tree (autum look) and used colors of fall on these branches.  it was AWESOME...

let me know if you have used it or will try it..  :)  curious....   I someday hope to have these lil containers....

Have a fantastic 1st day of Spring tomorrow!

*.Cherry Limeade Cricut lite cartridge for the cup was cut at 3.25w & 3.50h.** Ctmh ink colors are kiwi & sunny yellow. ctmh cardstock is citrus leaf & sunny yellow.   The paper on the cup is from my big ol' stack of misc papers collected over time. ** I gently used sand paper from ctmh over the lemon frame. **The lemon background was embossed using the provo craft cricut embossing folders "preserve".  the little lemon was a copy of the embossed folder and just cut out.  It is painted using the Sundance color from Smooch. ** I popped up the lemon using a pop dot from Mini pop dots from all night media.  **  I used the Herringbone embossing folder from PC to emboss the straw.  ** The saying is a cute one from my hubby and a font called Alan set at 18in.

good morning... just some info to share

the cards sent to you yesterday via here were previews to the card swap that we are doing.  I love Rosemary's cards!!  The exchange will be done this weekend.  I would like to do the exchange Friday night.  BUT if you are unable to be there but have cards..  I will collect them and  share.  I know there are several of us that are going to SWAP...    don't forget the instructions so that I can post them.

Tomorrow night.. 4th Friday from 5 to 9:00.  I will be there a lil early so come play and/or visit.  I enjoy seeing you this time of month for I don't get to much during the rest of the days.  ;(
Bring a snack to share and remember you can leave your "stuff" till Saturday.  The room is locked after we leave.

I am thinking I would like to take the picture on Friday night for the Cricut.com swarm drawing.  perhaps one of Saturday too...

happy birthday card made by RosemaryUsing Wild Card cricut cartridge

Using the Wild Card Cartridge this 9in long x 6.25in wide with the real dial size on.  The envelope that matches the card also used the real dial size.  When doing the layers.don't use the real dial size. make sure it is turned off but is same size as the card.  You can measure the layers with the card on the gypsy before you cut them.

the variety of colors are awesome in making this card for the men in our lives!

This is the envelope.  the sizes and details for cutting this is above.  Isn't this a pretty card!
