My mom has a milestone birthday coming up, so I got out my slightly dusty Cricut, and made this card for her.
It’s not showing in the photograph, but all the hummer papers are pearlescent with a little bit of inking.
Through no fault of the machine (mostly) or the files (from SVGCuts) this thing fought me nearly every step of the way. Sure, this card was made with love, but it was completed mostly with tenacity and a lot of creative cussing. If you’re unfamiliar, the pics below shows how box cards collapse to fit into an envelope.

This is so pretty! (All the best crafts are made with a bit of cussing, right?)

So lovely! The color choices are perfection. I’m sure your mom will adore it.
Aw, thank you! I really struggled with paper selections on this one. This is the second humming bird (all colors) that I cut.

It turned out beautifully in spite of (or, perhaps because of? ) the need for creative cussing.
Aw, thanks! I think, in this case, it was in spite of!

Super pretty, my mom would love this too. Something about hummingbirds, so endearing.
