Green & Teal Mother's Day Card

Hello Crafty friends, 

I'd like to show you this pretty Mother's Day card I made. I stamped the flower with a CTMH stamp called Just For You. The coordinating flower base was cut from the exclusive Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (the stamp and the Cartridge can be purchased through my CTMH shopping links). I also added some crinkle ribbon and used an EK border punch to create the bottom paper ruffles. I used CTMH inks to stamp the images. I think this card is pretty and turned out just like I was aiming for. I didn't want to stamp Happy Mother's Day on the front (I felt like it would take away from the card if I put it on one of the ruffles  (punched borders layers at the bottom). I think I like it better without a sentiment on front (which could have been stamped inside as an alternative). I used a My Pink Stamper sentiment.







I will enter into the following challenges:
1. Pumpkin Spice -use green, a stamp & ribbon
2. Little Scrap Pieces -use some type of flower(s)
3. My Pink Stamper -Mother's Day theme

CTMH Flower Thank You Cards

Hello there,
Hope your weekend is off to a great start! I have some Thank You cards that I made to show you today. It seems like you can never have too many Thank You cards in your stash. As it turns out I'm always running low on those, so I try to make some when ever I can...which is never enough-lol. The beautiful flower was made using a Close To My Heart Stamp called JUST FOR YOU (#B1398, comes with 7 stamps for only $9.95). Also some of the ink colors used are also close to my heart. The CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge was also used to cut the flower out and then I stamped it with the coordinating CTMH stamp. I love there products and the quality of them is fantastic. In short, I did some Cuttlebugging, ink embossing, pop dotting, background stamping, and adding some ribbon.
I am entering this card into the following challenge: Simon Says Stamp Challenge - April Showers Bring Spring Flowers.

Chick In An Egg Easter Gift Tags

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter.
Today I'm sharing some tags I made to go on the kids goody bags I made I this Easter. I made 6 of these total. I just love the way it turned out. This has to be one of the cutest images on the Doodlecharms Cartridge. Instead of using the entire face the image came with I stamped the chicks eyes with a PKS animal eyes stamp. I made some girl tags colored tags and some boy tags colored ones. I also used some eyelets in the hole for the tags. I love the way the eyelets bring additional color and detail to something as simple as a tag. 
I will entering this tag into an Easter/Spring challenge at:

Birthday Card for Mom

Hello my Crafty friends, 
I hope you are having a crafty day. I wanted to share a card that I made for my mom's birthday that is coming next week. Do you every find that some times you cannot figure out a theme or design immediately for a card? Well it wasn't until I got a new paper stack that I was finally inspired. The paper stack has a lot of pinks, creams, mint green, raspberry and brown. Then I knew I wanted to make a shabby chic sort of theme...but not too shabby. I used an awesome zipper die (that I finally received) to make this card and I LOVE it. I won't bore you today with a lot of details and recipes. So here is the card I made her.

Birthday Girl in Action Card

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a birthday card that I made for a little girl. I decide to make a Cricut-less card. I colored a stamped image with my Copic markers and added some Stickles. I used my Cuttlebug (ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOOLS) to cut a die from MCT. I wanted to layer the die, so I glued it down onto some paper and cute about 1/4" around it to give it a border. I then stamped the die with a coordinating border stamp that looks like party confetti. I used a Martha Stewart corner punch on two corners for a bit more easy detail. I wanted this card to be colorful, fun and vibrant. I like the way it turned out. I even added an Action Wobble to the girl. I'm sure the 4 year old I'm giving this card to will have fun with this.
I will be entering this card into the following challenges:



You can see the motion of her moving in this picture.


Don't forget to place your CTMH orders through my store!
Have a great day.
