The Big 40

I created this 40th Birthday Card for a co-worker in my office.  The images on this card came from the Cricut Life's a Party cartridge.

Cricut:  Life's a Party cartridge
Design Paper:  My Mind's Eye "Indie Chic" 6" x 6" pack.
Other:  Stickles

A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"
Cricut Life's a Party cartridge

Card Recipe:

• Mat 1 (blue pattern) = 5 3/8" x 4 1/8".  Edges inked with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.
• Mat 2 (yellow pattern fence border) = 2" x 5 1/4" before punching with Martha Stewart punch.
• Over the Hill = cut image and layers at 4" from Cricut Life's a Party cartridge; [OverHill] found on page 48 of the folder.
• The Big 40 = cut image and layers at 2.5" from Cricut Life's a Party cartridge; [OverHill] [Phrase] found on page 48 of the folder.

 



• The "The Big 40" image is mounted on two more of the same image cut out of beige card stock.  It made the image stand out more and created a chipboard effect.
• White gel pen used for stitching around images.
• Stickles used for candle flames.
