Thank You Cards Using CTMH "For Always" Paper and Cricut Artbooking Cartridge

Hello fellow crafters.  I hope everyone is doing good and enjoying the remainder of the summer weather before it turns fall.  I am ready for cooler weather; but I don't really feel I did much this summer outside due to the heat.  I haven't made it to the beach at all this summer.  I usually like to go there in the spring and fall; because there are less people.  Having to deal with the smells of sunscreen, cologne, perfumes, etc. makes it very challenging for me to take a walk on the beach when it is full of people. 
 
I created a video on my YouTube channel for these cards; if you would like to watch it.  They are very simple cards; but so elegant.  I have shared a few from this paper pack in the past; but this time I used the Cricut Artbooking cartridge to create a border; which adds even more to them.  You could change the stamp and use this card for any occasion that you needed including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, congratulations, encouragement, inspirational, baby card or sympathy card.
