The infamous moving card!!

So if you guys remember I had told my cousin I would make her moving cards for her, thinking she would want about 15-20. Well she said she needed 50! I was like WTF?? 50 SERIOUSLY?? But I'll show her. I only made 48! HA HA HA

This is one of the cards I made. I think they looked cuter on the mat when I was designing. BUT OH WELL!

For the inside I put "A house is built by human hands, A home is built by human hearts" and then put "announcing our move (then the address)" I printed that on the computer on the same cloud background paper that I used on the front of the card.

I did send her a picture and her husband said "we don't have a fireplace and that is too many windows....and the pine trees are too pointy". I told her "(cusswords) cards are going in the trash!" Of course her husband was only teasing with me. AT LEAST HE BETTER HAVE BEEN! When I told her I was only sending 48 she said "well I guess I don't have to send you one" and I kindly replied "I never want to see the $#*@ again!!" HA HA HA She said she loves the cards and can't wait to get them.

  10. The card is all cut with the cricut with the exception of the "lawn" I cut 3x5.5 strips and then did a wave cut with scissors for that part.

    I used My Community for the house and JOTS for the trees, the words are with Beyond Birthdays.
