I’m making a Cricut Simple Cards “Thank You” card for my neighbor. Sometimes you need a quick and easy card that also looks really nice. Cricut cartridges to the rescue!! Above is a screenshot of the card I chose. It’s from the Simple Cards cartridge and only has two pieces – quick AND easy!

I used Close To My Heart cardstock from the Happy Times paper pack (a limited paper pack from May) and Lagoon cardstock.

A really nice feature of using CTMH cardstock is that the patterned paper coordinates with the solids – takes a lot of the guesswork out of matching paper colors – I may tend to overthink choosing paper . . . just sayin’.

2016-07-06 22.00.38I used the We R Memory Keepers phone app to calculate the paper size and punch guide measurements to create a customized envelope for my card.

So . . . when are We R Memory Keepers going to fix the misspelling on their app? There’s an “e” between the “r” and “m” in “Punch Guide Measurement” – I mean, really . . .

**Remember when you send a non-standard-sized card through the mail, it requires extra postage.**

2016-07-06 22.01.09Above, I used the We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board to cut, score, notch, and round the corners of a piece of CTMH Lagoon – this is one of my favorite colors – a pretty turquoise!

2016-07-06 22.01.39Here’s the finished card – I love the detail on this patterned paper from CTMH – a subtle floral design. I didn’t do any embellishing on this card – quick AND easy! It took me about 20 minutes from start to finish, so don’t think you have to make all out blinged cards every time!
