TENT CARD




I was inspired to make my first tent card by Carrie at A Busy Bee, then watched a video on how to from Cricutologist.  Thanks to both of them!  This was really a lot of fun!  In the video she used a circle cutter, which I don't have, so I used kitchen things, an old biscuit cutter and a container that was just a little larger with an X-acto knife to make the opening and the frame.  It worked, but it wasn't easy to do, but the results were worth it.  I'll probably do it again.  Hope you like it also! 

I have 9 more days of my summer, minus 5 days for doctors and school related meetings.  I hope to make several more cards, and I'm toying with the idea of using my cutters to make a variety of things so that I can put cards together again when I need them in a hurry.  That always sounds good!

Have a great day!
