Thank You

Good Morning everyone!  I am finally  posting a card today.  My son and daughter-in-law have been visiting and I have been enjoying their company!

For today's card I needed to make some special thank you cards for some special people! 

I  only used the Poppy Exclusive Ink Pad for the color on this card. And Poppy Cardstock for the middle piece and to cut out the cute and tiny arrows from the new Cricut Flower Market Collection cartridge. 

I used the Charming Cascades Stamp Set to stamp the hearts at the bottom of the card (this set also has some cascade dots and stars..click on the link to see!)   And then for the hearts and the sentiment I used my new favorite Happy Heart Stamp Set. 

I also used some Liquid Glass to make the hearts shiny and pop out a bit! I then finished the card with a strip of our fun adhesive backed White Shimmer Trim. 
Now I am off to get these cards addressed and sent in the mail!  Have a great day everyone!  I know I will!  Hugs!

Simple Thank You

Hello!

Sometime you need a card but don't have a lot of time to sit down and create.  This card is a simple but elegant card that takes little time to create but I love the results. 

I am using Happy Heart Stamp Set.  I am thinking this will be another stamp set that I will be using over and over.  Click on the link and check it out!

I used the new Chevron Embossing Folder along with the Square Diffuser so I could have a "non-embossed" area to  stamp my sentiment. 

The patterned paper is from the Whimsy Fundamentals Paper Packet. 24 double-sided sheets of pure wonderful!


I used Juniper Exclusive Ink Pad and Pixie Exclusive Ink Pad for the sentiments and the sponging around the paper and the white card base. 

I finished by adding the white embossed piece to a piece of Juniper Cardstock and adding a few of my favorite Bitty Sparkles.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend and check in next week. Hopefully I will have more creations to share with you. Hugs!!

Happy Birthday Cupcake!

Hello!  I am back!  I have been camping and now back home and creating in my craft room! 

Today's card is using one of our brand new stamp sets from the new Close To My Heart Catalog. The name of the set is called Sweet Birthday!  Click on the link to see the cute little faces that go on the cupcake!  I can see myself using this set a lot in the coming days ahead! So fun!

I used some of our new Whimsey Fundamentals  Paper for the folded piece behind the cute cupcake. 

 I used the Watercolor paints and the Small round water brush to color in the cupcake.  Also, using the water brush I picked up some of ink from the Sorbet Exclusive Ink Pad to match the paper and  color in the cupcake paper and hat.  I also stamped the sentiment with the Sorbet ink pad.   

Finished off by adding a few Pink Enamel Gems and tying the top with the White Twine.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!  Hugs!

I also used some of the beautiful new paper from the Enchantment Fundamentals Paper Pack  from the new Close To My Heart catalog that was released just a few days ago!

I used  Goldrush Cardstock to border everything.  I used Shinhan markers to color the images in.  I used the Shimmer Brush to make the cute hat  sparkle.  And the black pigment ink from the Basic Mini Pigment Ink set along with the Clear Super Fine  Embossing Powder for the bats and the sentiment.   I also used a piece of the Fern Thick Twine.

Ornate Blossoms Workshop Card and One More Workshop Card for July 2016

Hi there!

This card reminds me of the fun colorbooks that so many people are doing now. Click on the links below to see all the stamps in these sets!

For this card I used:
Ornate Blossoms Stamp Set and I used Ornate Blossoms Thin Cuts Dies to cut the image out with.  And I used Sunshine On a Cloudy Day Stamp Set.  

Please note if you are interested in purchasing these stamp sets, they will only be available until the end of August 2016 and then they will no longer be available. The thin cuts are only "while supplies last".



I also used Coral Shimmer Trim and Flaxen Extra Thick Twine   -this twine is also on the "while supplies last" list.   I also used  Light Orange ShinHan Marker, Pastel Green ShinHan Marker and Marine Blue ShinHan Marker  to color in the image with. 

I hope you enjoyed my "color book" card.  

Here is last card that we did for my workshop.  I did NOT create this card but wanted to include it because it was one of the cards that we did. I got the idea for this card from the Close To My Heart consultant website. I would give credit for it but I couldn't find the "author" so whoever you are..thank you!

Have a great day everyone and thanks again for stopping by!
