Nope it's not Piglet.....

Okay....it really is. I was going to try and shake things up but to be honest at the time I am typing this post I am tired and about ready to go to bed so I don't have anything to put in the place of this next Piglet card....so yep...it's a Piglet today!

When I saw Piglet cut I thought it would be cute if he was holding a present, and luckily there is a present on the Pooh and Friends cartridge!! *okie thinks she is so lucky to find these little things out so she doesn't have to switch out carts while cutting*. I did have a booger *okie giggles because she said booger* of a time cutting the present and I am beginning to think that cutting with the Cricut is much like sewing.

My mom use to tell me "when you keep having to rip out stitches it's time to put it away for a little while". So I need to keep telling myself "when you keep ripping the paper it is time to put it away for a little while".

Since the cut is rather large I had very little room to embellish the card so I thought embossing the mat that Piglet is on would be a great way to add something extra to the card. I used Cuttlebug Happy Birthday word folder for this purpose. I also lightly inked the paper so it would show up just a big more.

The patterned paper is double sided Bo Bunny and actually some I had left over from a Valentine's project *okie so loves using scraps*.

And if you are wondering if I had a hard time finding a quote.....the answer is of course YES! I really couldn't find any direct birthday quotes from Piglet so this is just another one that I thought would do for the situation.

I bet no one wants the .cut file for the Piglet cards *okie wonders if her .cut files even get used anymore* but I will post the download anyway. So if ya wanna make your own Piglet cards you can download the file here ----> PIGLET BIRTHDAY CARDS.

  6. I use several of your files all the time. The tri-fold shutter card is one of my favorite cards and now with your cut file, I use it a lot! Also love the waterfall card. Having your cut files makes our lives so so easy! I have liked all of your Pooh cards but don't have the cart. : ( Keep up the good work! Now if you could just come up with a swing card cut file, I would be in heaven. ; ) Thanks Okie for all you do!!!!!!!
