World's Best Dad card made using the *NEW* Cindy Loo Cricut cartridge

Hello, friends!! This is Melanie and I have a super simple father's day card for the father or husband in your life. I made it with the *NEW* Cindy Loo cartridge if you can believe it. I know you were thinking that when you saw that cartridge it would just be for the more feminine paper crafting projects that you have. However, it is quite versatile given the right paper. the paper I used today is the Bella BLVD 'Man of the House' line. This line is so much fun and so perfect for any projects that are for any man...or boy in your life. I quite often have a hard time finding masculine paper that I like and I really like this!


I cut the leaf and berries at 3 1/2" with my expression.


I used a chipboard embellishment that came with the paper as my sentiment. I love when stuff works out like that. I always try to purchase the chipboard that coordinates with the paper. You never know when you need that little extra bit of something!






Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a safe and fun holiday weekend!!


P.S. don't forget about our awesome giveaway! Wouldn't you love to win 4 of the new cartridges(Freshly Picked, Cindy Loo, Mini Monsters, and Wall Decor and More)!
