Thanks Gerbera Daisy Card

Yes, another Gerbera Daisy card. I love making these daisies!!! Daisy directions HERE.For the Certainly Celery frame, I used a cool dingbat font, which I found at Clever Someday Blog. I downloaded the dingbat to my computer and used my Cricut machine and SCAL software cut it. Too easy!! This dingbat will cut 94 different frames and other miscellaneous cool images which are perfect for scrapbooks, cardmaking & papercrafts! When using SCAL, you can make your dingbat any size you want!

3D Flowers Card

***So many requests for this file. Here it is & it's FREE!!

I love my Cricut!! and SCAL!! and SVG Cuts!!!I made this card with my Cricut machine, SCAL software and a file from SVGcuts.com. It was so easy, and I love the way it turned out!
Only the outer parts of the petals were cut, so it's only one piece of paper...not small flowers glued to the card. Isn't that cool? And because it's done with Cricut and SCAL, I can make my images any size I need them to be! :)

Good Morning Sunshine Gift Card Holders
