A Couple of Thinking of You cards

Hello, I know it has been some time since I posted on my blog, it just seems like I run out of time sometimes as I am sure everyone does now and then.

So today I have two "thinking of you" cards to share.

The first one is made from some papers I have had in my stash for many years, and the flower I had made awhile ago so I am not sure which cartridge it came from.

I love how these colors look together, to me they are a soft look.  

The second one was made using CTMH papers from the Flirty paper pack which unfortunately has been discontinued.

Both of the sentiments were stamped using a stamp from the CTMH stamp from the Card Chatter Sympathy set

The flowers were cut using the Artiste cartridge.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope to keep up with my posting a bit better in the upcoming days/weeks.  Thanks again

Flirty Paper Birthday

Hi everyone, I have a bright flower card to share with you today.

This card was made using the papers in the new CTMH Flirty Paper Pack,

plus it follows a sketch challenge I am hosting this week on the Cricut message board.  We would love to have you join us click HERE to check it out you have till Tuesday 10/2 to play along.

 I love the colors in this paper, and of course I like anything that has flowers on it.

  The goldrush border was also cut using Artiste cartridge, then I stamped the happy birthday one word at a time.  Both words are on the same stamp, it is one that comes in the Art Philosophy bundle, but I bent the word I didn't want around the edge of the acrylic block and inked the word I wanted to stamp.  Hope this makes sense ha ha.

The flower and leaves are cut using the CTMH Artiste cartridge, I cut it out of the Flirty Raspberry colored paper that comes in the pack, then spritzed it with some Glimmer Mist to give it a bit of glimmer.   I also used my embossing tool to add some lines to the leaves to give them some dimension.   The center of the flower is a pearl brad.

There is also a set of  CTMH stamps Love Blooms that match this paper, I think they will be on my next order.

It is a two step stamp set so you can make your flowers look like they are layered, or to put the dimension on them with a different color.

Thanks for stopping by today, I always enjoy reading your comments.
