Happy Birthday Swing Card with Artfully Sent

I finally received my new Cricut Artfully Sent Collection today! I had to try it out right away. There are tons of cards including pop up cards and cut out cards on this cartridge. There are also lots of cards sized for pocket scrapbooking! So exciting!

I decided to try to make a swing style card using key #7 (listed under the Scene button).

I cut out one card in Cranberry, one in Colonial White, and one in Sunset so that I could layer the Colonial White and Sunset onto the little cupcake for added color. If you do this, you can actually stop your Cricut machine after it is done cutting the cupcake portion since that is all you need. I used Pear for my inside layer.

Here is my card, stamped and all put together. I used some of the little star cut outs from my "cupcake" cuts on my Pear cardstock inner liner. The scalloped strip is Sunset, the zip strip is from the Pathfinding Paper Packet, and the plain strip is Colonial White. I stamped Happy Birthday on the inside liner using the Just To Say stamp set which comes with the Cricut Artfully Sent Collection.

I also added a little rectangle of Colonial White on the inside so I could have a small area for a handwritten message. I can't wait to play with it a little more!
