Today's card is made using two of the new Cricut Lite cartridges...Bloom and Cupcake Wrappers. When I originally designed this card I had designed it using Bloom and Feeling Groovy, but in the midst of making it I came across the great 'thanks' cut on cupcake wrappers that I think worked better. This ended up being one of my favorite cards that I have made using the new Lite cartridges thus far.
The flower spray is from Bloom and is cut at 3". I used Papertrey Ink patterned paper and ribbon.
'thanks' was cut using the topper feature from Cupcake Wrappers at 2 1/2".
Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
Don't forget we are giving away an Over the Hill Cricut cartridge this week!

Very cute card!!! I have the Bloom cartridge, but not the other two mentioned.
Great card!! I love just about every type of crafting. I started out with embroidery and crocheting.

Oh my what a sweet..sweet Thank you card it's amazing how the flowers co-ordinate so well from 2 different cartridges...thanks for using 2 older cartridges as they kind of get put on the creative back burner...What a sweet way to start my day with lots of flowers from the "Queen of" herself!
Thanks for the chance at this fun cartridge!
What a great thank you card. I love the flower spray and will probably use it on my next layout. You guys are wonderful for reminding us what is on all of our cartridges. Thanks!
Beautiful card. I did notice this awesome cut on cupcake wrappers, but hadn't cut anything with bloom. I'm super excited to look at this cart again.
I love when you show us hidden jewels on carts we already may have.
I didn't realize that he cupcake wrpper had words that you could use for other things. Thanks for sharing this card design.
What a cheerful card! I'm always impressed!
Thanks for sharing your many unique and creative ideas that combine carts we wouldn't think of combining. You two always amaze me with your creativity. Please keep those ideas coming!!! Any new ideas for Christmas?

My craftiness is scrap booking, card making crocheting and cross stitching. Love doing all these! Thanks for the chance to win the Over the Hill cartridge!
love the ideas, I just started using the cricut and still learning, I also crochet and loom knit, and I do cross stitch once in awhile...
So cute! Nice touch with the ribbon.
I do a lot of other crafty things, I paint, draw, sew, I have been known to throw clay, work with polymer clay, fine silver jewellery.. I try everything.. I just like making things :)
Just took the plunge and ordered an expression! Can't wait til it arrives! This over the hill cartridge is just great and so appropriate right now!

This card is darling! It is always nice to see some of the older cartridges featured. I mainly do paper crafts...cards, scrapbooking, home decor.
Thanks!
Beautiful card. Another one to scrap-lift.
I love the card, but do not have the cartridges that you used, so will have to improvise! No crafting for me today....family matters that need taken care of are a priority today.

I like the use if the cupcake toppers for this beautiful card.
I've been crafting for almost 40 years. I've done jewelry, beading, embroidery, plastic canvas, tole painting, ceramics, miniatures, quilling, stamping, dough art, clay art, scrapbooking, card making, and a little sewing. But I feel more creative with my papercrafts. I recently made table decorations for my son's graduation party.
Love the ideas on this blog.
Wonderful card- I love the bold cuts on the card!
I love your thank you card. It is so bright and cheery, just what a thank you should be.
Another beautiful card. I love the "stiching".
I like this card a lot. Loving the flowers. Will have to check into this cartridge further.
Wow, I just love your style! So pretty! lclass003atgmaildotcom
Wow, FAB card - I don't have the Bloom cartridge, but I may have to rethink that! Thanks for sharing.

Such a beautiful card.
Great card!! I love all things crafty!! I also make floral arrangements.
Super cute card-very cool that you used the cupcake wrapper cartridge for a card!
What a terrific card. I love the flowers.
Great card!! I love just about every thing about crafting. I started out with scrapbooking and LOL hook rugs.
This is so bright and fun! I love the "graph" paper that you've used.
Besides paper crafting, I've been working more with vinyl - for wall hangings, bags and clothing.
I really like the card and must admit that I have not really checked out the "lite" cartridges. After seeing this that is definitely a mistake!
paravella@aol.cm
Love the card! Super cute! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome card! Thanks for the chance to win the over the hill cart. Its always nice to get something unexpected. Especially when we spend soooo much on the cartridges in the first place.
Your Card is awesome, I like the papers you used. I do lots of other crafting right now I am doing alot of crocheting!
really like this card and how the colors and shapes really pop.
Thanks
This card has me thinking that I should try and use a cupcake wrapper on the front of a card! Never thought about that before!
Thank you for making my mind think of that cart in a different way.
Nice card - love the paper you used. I love when you use older carts that I've forgotten about!
This THanks card is so cute. I would have never thought of using those two cartridges together. Thank you for sharing.
Kathy:)
Really cute card! I have Bloom but didn't realize that Cupcake wrappers had more than just wrappers.
I love the card. Its so cute. Its so much fun making cards for everyone. And thanks to you ladies for giving us great ideas.
I love this card. I make lots of cards, (6 this week). I want every card to be unique for the person it is intended for,58 so I love coming here for inspiration. I'm too busy making cards to indulge in any other crafts. I used to crochet a lot, not so much any more.
nice card i have the bloom cart thanks upnurse at aol dot com
What a beautiful card. i know for sure i need the Bloom Cartridge now. Thanks for sharing
Other crafts I do are quilting, sewing, baking-actually I usually try any craft I think may be interesting at least once!!!
love your thank you card Siobhan
Wow this is such a cute card. Love It. Smooches... Felicia - frankleecrafts [at] gmail [dot] com
Your card is adorable! I love the pieces all cut out with the checked paper. Great design detail.
Thanks for sharing! :)
What great ideas. This makes me feel I can be creative too.
Very cute card. I make cards using mainly Paper Wishes products and I make them for a group I belong to called Caring Cards. We send cards to the sick and dying, cards showers. People from all over the country participate and it's a real blessing to know that someone really appreciates what you make. I have recently begun purchasing more cricut carts and am looking forward to experimenting with making cards with my cricut.
Really cute card, great paper choice!
Cheery little card. Simple, clean, and to the point.
The Bloom flower spray is beautiful!! Haven't bought that cart but now I am re-thinking it... Thanks so much for the daily dose of inspiration!
What a wonderful card! I would feel thoroughly thanked if I received something like this in my mailbox. Thanks for all your creativity and sharing it with us!
You have inspired me, starting with the Happy Easter card, to use the cricut words instead of stamping for the greetings. The Thank You card will make Hallmark jealous. You are soooo talented!
thanks for sharing...that is a great card.
Great card! It is simple and very cute.
I absolutely love the Over the Hill cartridge. I would love to win it....had my eye on it for weeks.
What a great way to use that cupcake wrapper cartridge again!
Monanisa@yahoo.com
Cute card, I like the paper you used.

I like to make gifts for my family! Would love to be able to use that Over the Hill cart ;)
Cute card. I am a passionate crafter and I love card making, rubber stamping, scrapbooking, and quilting. I used to play with polymer clay, sew clothes for myself and kids. I also enjoy baking a lot.
That is a great thanks cut. I also love the flowers. The ribbon and bow are a great addition.

What a beautiful card!!! :)

Nice card! I would love to win this Over the Hill cartridge then I won't have to purchase it. Thanks for the opportunity.
Clever card! Also, The bird stamps are fantastic.
Pat S from Canby.
I love the lite cartridges and I love this card!
I love this card!!! it is time to dig out that cartridge and use it ♥
Wow!! Such a sweet thank you so colorful and cute! I like that you used 2 different cartridges! I so need to make Thank you's today!!! Thank YOU for inspiration!
That is so cute!! How do you keep track of all the images swirling around in your head? I spend lots of time looking at handbooks. I know about the Cricut cut website but it seems to be indexed by the file name which doesn't say exactly what the cut is. How do other find exactly what they need? carjo40@gmail.com
The card is wonderful. The die cut images look almost like chipboard they are so dimensional looking. As far as crafty things I made a scrapbook layout using a new piece of artwork, Thor, my daughter created for me after we saw the move The Avengers and Thor is my fav character from the movie. Ck out my 6/6/12 Thor Scrapbook Layout blog post. The 'prove your not a robot' thingies with the 2 tiny tiny (yes they are very tiny) characters are crazy.

nice card,love the colors
Wow this card is lovely - I have this cart and think its fab. I love cross stitching too but since getting my Cricut in the new year, its being neglected. TFS
Great card and just in time. I need to send a thank you card this week! TFS
I am at the age when all my birthday cards are for my over the hill friends so I would love it.
Love it! The colors POP!
love the card - great colours. Apart from paper crafts I also enjoy a bit of dressmaking :)
As always, another cute project. I do anything crafty, paint, sew and anything paper. I would love to win the Over the Hill cartridge. Thanks for the chance.
bgalyean2011(at)aol(dot)com
You are getting your money's worth out of Bloom! I used to sew, but I've pretty much reduced that hobby down to costumes. I used to make jewelry, as well. I discontinued that when my kids were toddling around. Hmmm...that leaves me with paper crafting and "Mommy's 24hour Fix-It-All Shop". Thanks for the opportunity to win!
That cartridge looks so cool! I do lots of crafting. I do my own beaded jewelry, card making, scrapbooking, altered canvases, and I do polish art on my nails.
Very cute card. Over the years I have done more different crafts than I can remember. Right now, I'm mostly about stamping, cardmaking and scrapbooking.
cute card! I like the flower & thanks cut out. I mostly scrapbook but enjoy making cards & gifts.
rfee2@roadrunner.com
Love, love, love your work! I look forward everyday to see what you have been up to!
luv2stamp05@gmail.com
I really like this card. I like the colors and the bow is very cute!
Cute card! Love the sentiment cut out!
Very nice card! I really like that "thanks" cut--good choice!
As for other crafts I do, I also have supplies for jewelry making, painting on canvas and sewing. Does it count if I never use them?
Lovely card! The negative of the sentiment, plus the flowers all look awesome.
I don't really do any crafty stuff except for scrapbooking and cardmaking. I think this cart would help me with both. Thanks for the chance to win!
Beautiful card! I scrapbook, knit, crochet, draw, paint.... too many hobbies I suppose!

Nice card. I love using my
Your Story to make photo books for my friends and family.
Beautiful card! I don't really do any other crafty things.
I'll have to use my Florals Embellished for this or something similar since I don't have this cart. But I'm excited to make a cute card like this.
I love the grid pattern on that paper. It looks great! and you lined everything up pretty good!
such a cute card - thanks for sharing and inspiration!!! My favorite crafting is scrapbooking.

What a perfect bow. Cute card. Srhswney78@yahoo.com
I'm new to Cricut and am loving it. Still learning, but am loving all the crafting out there these days!
I agree with Linda. I've only been making cards since Feb. but am having a blast and learning from all the bloggers out there and the DT'S. Great cards.
I haven't even thought about using my cupcake wrappers cartridge for cards. Excellent idea!! I've been thinking about getting Bloom for awhile now and you may have just pushed me over the edge!! :)
Thanks!
Tianna
Really love it!! You always have the perfect color combinations!!
Love the card. So very cute. I love when older carts are used.

Love the Thank you card and love the over the hill cartridge. Thank you for a chance at this cartridge. My grandfather's 90th birthday is coming up and I was thinking a 30+ 30+30 card would look so cute!
Stacey D. from California
This cartridge is on my wish list, but my husband informed me tonight that "of all the card stuff you buy, you don't have anything with tools or stuff for me!" So I guess the next thing I buy better be pretty manly! Lol! I love to do all things creative....draw, paint (art AND walls!), sew, decorate...creating is my therapy!
Great card. I need to dig out the Cupcake Wrappers cartridge and give it another look.
Thanks for the change to win. I also do a little bit of knitting.
Great card!I don't have very many Lite carts, but I love how you found the Thanks phrase from cupcake wrappers cart.
Like any other crafter I have several things I like to do.Oil paint,decorate birdhouses & photograph, gardening,finding beauty in everyday life.Tfs.
