Onto the hop...
You should be coming from.......................Avery

 I decided to make a card to fit into a business sized envelope.  The frog is from Create a Critter and was filled in with the Imagine More cartridge in the Cricut Craft Room.  I grabbed some googly eyes and an action wobble for a little extra fun.

Of course there had to be some 3 Girl JAM and TAWS yumminess in there so I used Sunflower, Goblin Green, and Red from Red, White, and Blue pack from 3 Girl JAM.  TAWS' Background Basics was perfect for this fun card.  You can click on the name of each color/ stamp set to see all about getting some for yourself.  Unfortunately, the red is not currently available.  I cut the ribbon in half (along the width of the ribbon).  Now you need to be very careful here as the potential for the ribbon to unravel is great.  If you would like your project to have longevity, you probably want to avoid this.  I am sending this card to a little boy, so I would imagine that the card won't last long.

Other items used -
White Georgia Pacific card stock cut to 9X8 and scored at 4" - card base; also a 3.5"X3.5" square
Inks - New England Ivy, Goldrush (CTMH); Barn Door, Peeled Paint, Faded Jeans Distress Inks; Archival "Jet black" ink
Red plaid paper (from my scrap stash) - piece at 8.75" X 3.75 " and a piece at 8" X 1.5"
Blue paper (from my scrap stash)  - piece cut at 8.25" X 3.25";  piece cut at 8" X 1.5";  3.75" X 3.75" piece
