Erica's Cricut Craft Room IMAGINE-ation! Mondays!

Today I made a card for my Dad's Birthday ...

I used Imagine More Cards Cartridge 
 Because I used the Imagine to Cut and Print to save me a lot of time I got to take out my other tools to embellish the card. I printed and cut 2 sheets to work with.
 I used Embossing folders for the background ( then added TH Distress Ink)  and the brown scallop... I used clear embossing power with an embossing pen for the cupcake wrapper. I used glue and chunky glitter and heat gun to make the frosting. For the candle I used 3 embossing powders.
 Here is the finished card and envelope...
The match set... I hope he likes it ... Happy Birthday  Dad !!

Have a Happy Crafty Day and don't forget to check out the other projects on Erica's Craft room ( My Cricut Craft Room)

 This is on Cricut printable vinyl sheets..... 6 " It will go on his bedroom door !!!
 Next is the bonus of a treasure box at fit to page 10.5 "
 This box did not have any scoring marks so it was a little harder to do. ( a gift card is going inside)
 This is also a bonus feature fit to page 10.5 "
 Every Pirate needs a hat and eye cover !! The hat is great it has lots of sizes it can fit  a small child to adult.
This is his card !! I cut the Bonus map at 6" and the Happy Birthday Matey at 4" I added a silver gel pen  and pop doted the Birthday mat on then I added liguid Pearls on the X....
