No Cricut?? No Problem!!

I needed to make some Congrats cards for the winners of my blog candy, since my Daughter's Birthday Party is tonight I needed to make the quickly! 

I think when the Cricut (which I love) is taken out of the equation the cards are much easier to make. I used 100% scraps for all my paper and supplies that have been laying around! Yippee!
Cards are 3X3

Flowers from Micheals

    Super cute cards Carri. I agree that the Cricut can make things more complicated and time consuming.

    Happy birthday to your daughter! It's a great time of year to have a birthday (mine's tomorrow)!!!

    I agree, the Cricut does take a little longer.. I try to use my scraps, which I have plenty of, but usually the piece I need isn 't bigger enough. BEAUTIFUL cards Carrie...

    I forgot to congrat the winner's on your previous post... Being so pre-occupied with so many things to do....
    Anywho 'BIG CONGRATS' to all your winner's... It sure was a lot of fun doing the hop with all the rest of the team too.... Just give me a howler if you need me again.. I would love to play along....
    BTW - those 3 x 3 congrat cards are so darn cute.... and they are pretty fast to get them whipped up too...
    Happy Birthday to your daughter.....
    Have a super weekend...

    Hi Carri! These are just darling! Gosh, I scrolled through your blog and I am so bummed that I missed out on so much so I just had to subscribe via email that way I don't miss out on all the fun next time! First of Happy Belated Birthday! So sorry I didn't catch that earlier! Next I wanted to thank you so much for the lovely birthday card you sent me! It's so sweet, just like you! I'm finally feeling better and can't wait to start on CCR! I have a few questions for you so please be sure to check your email. Headed off to email you now. Thanks again! :0)

    LOVE all your cards. These seem to be the perfect way to use all your scraps. I should make a bunch just for "thanks yous". Do you make the envelopes for this size or buy them? Or not even worry about it since they are going it to package?

    Hope the party was a success! I'll text you later!

  53. Hi, I am Karen DriscollMarch 5, 2012 at 5:02 PM

    Hey Carrie, I love these cards, it's so nice to see some cards made without the Cricut for a change. I love my Cricut, but sometimes more trouble than it's worth. I like to try and cut double when I am making it hard so I have things ready in a pinch! These are all beautiful, and happy birthday to your daughter! Karen♥
