I've used elements from Lettering Delights in my card. WHICH in case you were wondering is the Candy that's handy! Be a follower and comment on this post and you will automatically be entered for the drawing. I will be giving two $5.00 gift certificates to two lucky winners, (whew that's alot of T's).  Make sure I know who you are, I will announce the winner on Monday. 
Okay all that noise aside let's get to the FUN stuff...This little big card I made for my sister in-law. She is very sweet to me, is always ready to listen, and I know she's on my side. Shouldn't we all have a sister just like her?

I used Lettering Delights Card E (now in hindsight I should've placed my designs in the horizontal plane so she could stand it up, BUT remember it is ME we're talking about.
Ever done this? Thought the color was FAB when it was late & dark, after a glass of Pinot,  then in the morning light, you wonder WHAT you were thinking?
This is why SureCutsAlot2 is so Fabulous. I always save my project, it'll be a scut file, I reopen it and just cut the parts I need again- Voila! 


I used MS Word and my lettering delight digital paper and fonts. Check out my tutorial for this if you want to know how.
I used the following products for this projectLettering Delights  Card E
Lettering Delights  Spring Flourish 
Lettering Delights  Scalloped borders


SvgCuts.com  Rosies Ribbons
SvgCuts.com Annie's edge

  1. Wow...I'm your first comment... Woo Hoo! I love the blue and colors of this card. I also love how you "edit-undo'" the lettering. I do that ALL the time. Great job on your beautiful card. Thanks so much for being part of our blog hop.

  2. LOL! You're so funny! I must agree with you that you made a great decision to change the word color from pink to blue. I think that it is pretty and your sister-in-law is going to appreciate that! Better make sure that she doesn't see the card before she gets it!

  6. LOVE it! And yes, the blue letters were better than the pink ones... It is dangerous to sleep on a card, usually when you look at it with fresh eyes you go "whaaaat??".
    I love all your layering, the stuff I stink at, LOL :-D

  13. LOVE your card. I don't know what a blog hop is- but I found you on the SCAL site and followed your link and now- here I am- your latest follower!

    So is the paper background in the last pic before the video- that's a digital paper? the blue green & yellow flowering vine type one?

    I love it. & your cards are beautiful!I got my SCAL for Vday but haven't learned to use it yet. That's my plan for the next few weeks- Spring Claning & learning my SCAL. & get back to my blogging too. =0)

    Have a blessed day!

  30. That is a beautiful card. I am still learning about using SCAL and all the svg files. I discovered Lettering Delights just recently and have been stalking their site trying to pace myself from buying up all their goodies at once. Love the blog and thanks for the chance!

  33. Great video. I never thought about using MS Word with digital papers and I waste ages in Photoshop.
    I will be watching this one a few times and plan on using MS Word from now on, thank you.
    BTW love the accent. It reminds me of a great holiday I had last year in your friendly state.
