Card Making

By: Melissa Van Denover

One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is make cards. I love finding cute paper that I can turn into something creative or using my Cricut to create “just the card” for that special occasion. Working at Roberts Arts & Crafts, I consider myself extremely lucky. I get to see all of the cute paper and accessories before they go out to the floor.

A few months ago the DoodleBug Glitter cardstock caught my eye. It reminded me of the ocean on a sunny day at the beach. I didn’t know how I was going to create it but knew it had to be done, since it was still snowing in May!

One day while I was helping a customer she asked me about the Life’s a Beach Cartridge from Cricut. I pulled it out and we started playing with it. Once I found out that you could make any of the shapes into a card I was SOLD and so was she.

I created a “beachy” card for my Summer Card Club and it was a huge hit. Using the Glitter Cardstock as the sky/background and a few embellishments added just the touch that I was looking for.
