Hello again to all my followers and fellow crafters!! I love this new Avonlea paper. I almost didn't buy it; because I wasn't sure I would like it. I am so glad I did. I have already created 3 cards using this paper packet. I plan to order the new Avonlea Cardmaking kit when I place my order on August 15th. Other consultants have been able to create 8 - 18 extra cards with the scraps when they were finished making the 15 cards that come with it.
I created these two cards as Thank You cards and stamped sentiments on the inside; but you could use them for any occasion. I love my polka dot ribbon; which I use as often as I can if it matches. The little flowers on the corner were cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and the same paper packet.
First Card
Inside Card - Using "4 My Friend" stamp set sentiment and "Love Life" stamp set for the flourish.
Second Card
Supplies I used to make these two cards:
Scalloped Borders - Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
Card base - Ivory 5 1/2 x 4
Ribbon - American Crafts
Sentiment inside - CTMH "4 My Friend" (D1510)
Flourish inside - CTMH "Love Life" (D1482)
Bling - Want2scrap.com
Adhesive - Tombow Mono Adhesive
Foam Tape

Thanks for visiting my blog today. I hope you enjoyed my new cards. The nice thing about this design is that you can use any patterned papers and embellishment to make it look a little different than the ones before. Plus - you can use it for all occasions. I have used it with a butterfly, a flower, bling, etc. It is just a simple easy one to make. Have a fantastic day!!
Remember - Keep On Creating!!
Very pretty card I love the papers you used and the design is super. I love all the CTMH products

Chana, DT Coordinator
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliment Chana and for taking time to visit my blog. I really appreciate your support Chana. FYI: I actually made these two cards from the Avonlea paper packet; which includes 6 - 2 sided designer papers and 6 matching cardstock (12 sheets total). CTMH just came out with the Avonlea cardmaking kit which I plan to buy; but it is completely different than these two cards. I normally don't buy card kits either; but we have two awesome ones that just came out and I have to have both of them. The other one is for Christmas cards. Everyone has been able to get extra cards just from the scraps. Can't wait to get them!! Have a wonderful weekend Chana. Hugs, Gloria
DeleteHi Gloria I have popped back to have another peek at this beauty and to thank you for joining our challenge at The Paper Shelter this week.
