Simple card Monday - You are a Peach using the *new* Cricut Just Because Cards cartridge

Hello, everyone!! I am just loving this new blog design we have! It just goes so well with our personalities and personal styles. Stay tuned because there is a lot more surprises coming your way in coming weeks, so be sure to tune in.

On to today's card.......This week's card is made using the *new* Just Because Cards cartridge. I seriously love this cartridge!! It is full of really great cuts. For example, how about this sweet little peach!?!


It is a A2 size card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4").


The peach is cut at 2 1/2".


The Paper, ink, sentiment, and ribbon are from Papertrey Ink. Here is the blog of the stamp designer herself http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/these_are_a_few_of_my_fav/ You are definitely going to want to add her to your daily routine!


Here is the video:

Great card Mel ... and I am with you ... I like to change up my cards with various images my own way too instead of using the pre set card designs. I love getting ideas from the card designs, but for some reason, all my own, I like to add my own personality to it, just as you have done here. Love this card ... love the peach ... and also love the papers!

Thanx for sharing another delightful card!

Hugz,
♥Carol♥
