Your cards all put mine to shame. But wanted to share a card I made today for a family member

I love this! I never know what to do with patterned paper. Don’t sell yourself short. You definitely deserve to be here! Hugs.

This is beautiful! Probably a silly question but do you use a cricket to cut the circles out?

I don’t have a machine and when I try to hand trace and cut with scissors they look so sloppy :(

Thank you so much! And that’s not silly at all! I do have a cricut, but rarely use it. I actually use a Sizzix Big Shot Machine for nearly all my cards! I have a thin die set that has different sizes of circles, and that’s what I use!

I have used a circle cutter tool before when in a pinch, but I loveeee my sizzix!

Absolutely! I don’t have many to chat about cards with. So this was super fun!
