Pink Poodle Birthday Card

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a super week-end.  We had a busy one, that's for sure. 

Spencer had a birthday party to go to this afternoon and while grocery shopping today after church I found this adorable pink poodle in the Valentine's section.  I fell in love with it and thought the little birthday girl would love it too...so I decided to buy it and put it in her gift along with the other little girlie items I had for her.   Well, finding this pink poodle just sent my entire imagination spinning and I thought how cute it would be to make a birthday card with a poodle on it.  As I was standing in the check out line of the store my head was spinning with ideas of how could I pull this off???  I looked at my watch and said; okay it's 2 hours until the party; hmmmmm can I get it done.....???!!@#$@!!  yep, I can do it.  LOL.....I then thought ..... now WHAT cartridge has a poodle on it????  I remembered seeing one but which one???? .....hhhhmmmm?????.  Well, what do you think was the first thing I did when I got home (and after unpacking my groceries) - yep, I pulled out my Gypsy and searched "poodle" - it pulled up Paper Pups and also Cricut Sampler.  I don't have Paper Pups but to my delight I just got the Cricut Sampler cartridge in the mail this past week (from my cricut rewards program) so I quickly got to work.  I had to make some quick decisions because by then my clock was ticking.....tick...tok...tick...tock....okay - 1 hr. 15 minutes until party time...no time to video....only create (sorry ladies).  Ü

I really think this card turned out adorable.  I do my best work under pressure (so I am told).  Let's see.....I made the card and got to the party on time too....  Ü

Here are the details:

• The base of the card is a green cardstock 8 1/2 x 11 in. folded in 1/2.
• The pattern paper is from Nana's Kids DCWV paper pad.
• The happy b-day is cut 3" - Lyrical Letters
• The glittery bow is also 3" - Lyrical Letters (using shift key); white glitter paper. 
• The green cardstock behind the happy b-day is just edges torn to shape around the b-day shape and used white ink to ink the edges. 
• The poodle is from Paper Pups cartridge or Cricut Sampler cartridge has this cut on it too.  The poodle is cut at 3 inches - blackout pink paper.  The top outline of the poodle is white glitter paper to add some "bling".  3" also. 
• I used pop dots on the poodle and b-day to add deminsion. 
• green grossgrain ribbon and white tulle for the bow.

Here is my inspiration for this card.

I tried to take good pictures to show you....sorry I had not time to video but I hope I described it okay.

Leave me a comment and let me know how you like this card.  Your comments really make my day.
