Pizza Box Birthday Card

I have a friend that loves pizza so I thought I would make her a pizza card in a box. I think this card turned out great!

For this card, I used the Pizza Box file (#61145) that I purchased from the Silhouette on-line store.

I hand cut liners for the box and added a happy birthday flourish (# 49867) sentiment to the inside of the box. I cut two pizza background circles and glued them together to make the card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday.

Make it in Minutes Monday

Welcome to Make it in Minutes Monday. I thought it would be fun to feature quick and easy cards and projects that take only minutes to make, but look like you spent more time making them.

For this card, I used one of the Spring Folded Cards designed by Carina Gardner that I purchased from the Silhouette on-line store. It is a thank you card for a friend.

You could make this card using Cricut images or stamps! Any three insects will work. This card was so easy and fun!

BBQ Grill Box Card

I am giving this card as a thank you to a friend that loves to grill. He recently gave us six different bottles of his homemade beer, so I wanted to make a special card.

For this card, I used the BBQ Grill Box Card (#136229) that I purchased from the Silhouette on-line store.

Since he loves beer, I thought the saying was appropriate. I left room on the bottom to sign my card. This card took a while to make but it was worth it!

Thanks for stopping by and have a marvelous week!
