Ridgeview Card and Free Sentiments

Hello!

Good news! Well, for me anyway! My son came over and figured out why my cutter wasn't working. First, we had to get a different driver. Then after installing it, he realized there was a program interfering with the driver and disabling it. I'm so glad he figured that out! I wouldn't have found it on my own!  No more problems. YAY!

Rather than hand cut everything, I was able to use my cutter for the Ridgeview Card. Here's the card...well, two versions of it.

I made up a bunch in different colors...I had some help from my girlfriend Adie while we visited! Fun!!

And here they are, just about ready to go...

I thought you might like the sentiments so you can make your own if you want to. I made up my own mittens, but Birds Cards has some mittens that are similar- HERE , in a cut file.

 Here's a set of multiples, should you want to make a bunch.

 Here's another one too. It's pretty simple, but you might like to use it instead.

Here's the measurements, if you want to make the card:

Card: 5 1/4 X 8 " scored at 4"

Solid colored background: 5 X 3 3/4"

Striped frame: 3 1/4 X 3 1/4"

Solid colored frame: 3 X 3"

White frame (if you're using it): 2 1/2 X 2 1/2"

Sentiment background: Approx. 3 1/2" wide

"Brrr" Sentiment: I adjusted this to about 1 1/2 to 2" long before printing it.

Using a needle, I strung some thin ribbon through it, and then placed a button overtop the top of the sentiment. With the button facing me, I stitched down and through the paper, then back up. Then I tied the ribbon on top of the button and made a bow. 

 "Sending Warm Fuzzies" Sentiment: Approx. 3 1/4" wide.

Optional: 

Use a Cuttlebug for the solid backgrounds to add interest

I tend to ink the edges of everything. I like the depth it adds.

I used a glittery foam snowflake that I bought from Michael's, for the top of some of the cards.

Well, that's it for -well, probably this week. I have company coming and may not have much time to play until sometime next week.

Hope you're all having a good week!

Blessings,

Carmen
