Zen meets Cricut

This card is a mix of all kinds of things. The "H" and "B" were stamped..a great set of alphabet stamps from Just Jhone. They are large alphabets that are an open line image. I am into Zentangles which is a form of doodling, so I filled in the letters with some zen-doodling. I had just got my Cricut and had to play with it. The "appy" and "irthday" are from the Opposites Attract cartridge. I was also on the Triple Play (technique from TJN) card kick when I made this. I had some trouble trying to fit the HB on the flap I would normally have on a triple play card...so I had to improvise. So I kept the dimensions for the size of the card...and then remembered a great idea that I learned from a stamping friend Denise Krueger. She makes the most amazing cards and uses a single sheet of card stock as the base, just a tad larger than the card, then adheres the folded card to the base. It's a really fun look, and it worked perfectly for this card....and it still fit into a business sized envelope.
Jhone (from Just Jhone...now unfortunately closed) was the recipient of this card. It was destined to be hers, since it was her alphabet stamp set I used and we are Zentangle buddies...and it was her Birthday last month!
