My first Criss Cross card

I was participating in the Lear Year Virtual Crop over at ScrapCity, and one of the challenges was to make a criss cross card. I've never made one before, so I decided to finally make one.


I used DCWV Pocket Full of Posies cardstock. For the insert, I punched two circles and mounted them back to back for a pull tab. I stamped "Be Happy!" so it can be see when the insert is in the card. I added some ribbon around the card band as well as a Prima and a rhinestone.


Here's a view of the card and the insert. What fun! There is a tutorial for the criss cross card on SplitCoast. Take a look!

I'm so far behind on blog hopping, but I hope to catch up in the next day or two. Have a great Sunday, and thanks for stopping by!

  22. This card is so cute! And yes, I made the paper on that card in my site. I made an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of it and have used it for various cards. I have a file folder full of paper I made...I don't happen to like it all, though! But sometimes I find something good to use it for! :)

  27. Very Bright and very cheerful looking Criss Cross card.

    These are a blast to make. And so different from the everyday run of the mill A2 Cards.

    So many cool things can be added to these cards.

    Enjoy your day. :)
