Cricut Cardz Challenge #23

Cricut Cardz Challenge this week is for a red card using any Cricut cartridge. I used the Celebrations cartridge for this card. I took advantage of this challenge to design a birthday card for my daughter-in-law who is celebrating a birthday this week. For this challenge I decided to use paper from a Christmas stack made by SEI. When I bought the stack I noticed that there were papers in it that could be used at other times of the year for other occasions. I love the blue and red color combo. The solid red at the top is Bazzill textured cardstock that I ran through the Cuttlebug lotus blossom folder then used a Fiskars border punch on the edge wrapped it around a white card base then folded it over to the front top edge. My sentiment is cut at 1 1/2" from the same red cardstock and shadowed with light blue cardstock. I kept my embellishments to just the ribbon and bow because this card is getting mailed to Hawaii.
