Hello Kitty Card

Hello a quick post from me this evening before I go and drink my sleep tea and go to bed. I made this very cute Hello Kitty card for my friend Christina who loves Hello Kitty. It's her birthday in August so I decided to do this now as I'll need to post her a little gift and this card before we go on our trip.

I started with a DCWV pre made pink card and then another layer of light pink that had a nice scalloped edge at the bottom and a grey spotted strip. I did everything in the Design Space for my Cricut Explore. I added some crochet ribbon which Christina actually had sent me for my birthday. I added some cute bow buttons I found in my box (to which I cut off the shanks or rather my lovely husband did). I cut a label from Lacy Labels and used my pens in my Cricut to write my own greeting. Now for the best part. I haven't got the Hello Kitty cartridge and I checked Cricut who said it's not available and also some other places, one place said it was $300 for the cartridge, no way am I paying that and there is no access to it in the Design Space so I typed free Hello Kitty SVG file into Google and I found this, so I was so happy as I could upload it to the Cricut, didn't it turn out cute? There were lots of layers to cut but it was worth it and I know Christina will like her birthday card.
