Puppy Peekaboo Card Using CTMH Paper Pal Pets Stamp and Thin Cuts

Hello friends!  How are you? There seems to be a lot of bad weather towards the East and Midwest.  CA had almost two weeks of rain; but now it is cold today.  It was upper 70's for a few days; then cold today; and supposed to warm up for the weekend into the 70's again.  I heard that Arizona desert even had snow; which rarely happens.

I created my first Peekaboo card and wanted to share it with you.  It is clean and simple; but adorable.  I used the new CTMH Paper Pal Pets Stamp and Thin Cuts for this sweet card.  I also used three CTMH papers from three different paper packs.  I love when they work so well creating with any and all the paper packs.

My Favorite Creations for 2018

Hello friends!  I am late with this post; because I normally do it at the end of each year.  I like going through what I have created and post my favorites all in one place.  I finally narrowed it down to my top 20.  I noticed it is quite a variety.  I guess that says a lot about my personality; or at least my creativity.  LOL!

I use CTMH products as much as I can; because they are my favorite.  Their papers cut like butter in the Cricut, they are heavier than most papers on the market and they are gorgeous.  CTMH stamp and die sets are awesome; and they cut perfectly.  All of CTMH products are top quality or I would not use them.  I started as a CTMH Independent Consultant 7 yrs. ago because I love the products and wanted to share them with others; especially the Cricut cartridges.  

I love the CTMH clear stamps; as they stamp perfectly and their sentiments are exactly what I want to say.  I also love using digital stamps as well as regular CTMH stamps.  One of the advantages to using digital stamps for me is that I am able to enlarge them and color them easily, as my eyes get older and it is more difficult to see the smaller ones.  They provide a platform for coloring that smaller stamps do not provide for me.  I do love coloring CTMH stamps as well; but it is a completely different way of coloring when the stamps are smaller.

You will see that I use a lot of variety in my creativity; which is sharing who I am.  I create with the products that I love, not because of any other reason.

Click on each picture below to see the CTMH products that I have used.  If you have any questions; please let me know.  My contact information is under About Me at the top of the page.

Sympathy Card Using CTMH Stamp & Die Sets Plus New CTMH Embossing Folder

Hello friends!  How are you?  What a mess the latest storm has caused across the US.  Snow Snow and More Snow!  Rain Rain and more Rain!  We rarely have much rain; but we are making up for it this year for sure.  It has rained already more this month than I have ever seen before and we are supposed to get rain every day this full week.  Please drive carefully and stay safe.

I bought this awesome new CTMH Embossing Folder that I am in love with.  It has an area with no embossing; which works great for anyone wanting to stamp in that area; plus it already has a design going across the middle.  I also used the new CTMH Budding Peony Stamp and Thin Cuts set, plus the new CTMH Butterfly Friendship Stamp and Thin Cuts set.  And the new CTMH Nectarine double sided cardstock with Nectarine Ink.  Doesn't this look awesome together?  And then I added my sentiments from the CTMH January Stamp of the Month "Card Captions" which has lots of much needed sentiments that can be used all year long.  

I am planning on creating more similar; but yet different using this same Embossing Folder.  I was out of Sympathy cards and it seems the one card that I need on a regular basis as I get older.  A friend/customer of mine lost her husband  on January 2nd and I didn't have a card ready.  I made a quick one; but this was the one I planned to send and just couldn't get time to get it done.  

I am using CTMH Swiss Dot Z4232 (the lower half is dots; but for some reason they aren't showing well on this photo.  Also the top layer is the darker side of the Nectarine doubled sided cardstock and the back layer is the lighter side of the cardstock.  It looks really nice in person.
