Mojo Monday Sketch with Dotty For You Paper Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi fellow crafters!! I hope you are having a wonderful day today.  I decided to create a feminine card today using the Mojo Monday Sketch.  I love their sketches and they make creating so much easier. 

This is your last chance to purchase Dotty For You paper packet for only $5 with a purchase of $35.  It includes many great colors and designs that can be used for many different cards and projects.  It is cardstock weight; so it is a fabulous buy!!  This special ends May 31 and you won't be able to purchase this product after that date.  Get yours now!!  Enter your $35 in products from the Spring/Summer Idea Book and the specials will display at the bottom of the page.  Click "add to cart".  The May stamp of the month will also display for $5 if you order $50.  Don't forget to Click  "add to cart".

Here is my creation for Mojo Monday 241.  I hope you enjoy it.  I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to create all the images including the flowers and the leaves.  I have never had so much fun with a Cricut Cartridge as I do with this one.  I find new things every time I use it.  You can be very creative in using this cartridge for so many of your crafts including your scrapbooking and card making.

I used the Dotty For You to meet the challenge of Heart 2 Heart; which was for polka dots and stripes.  I love these colors and they are great together.  This card looks so much more elegant in person.  I tried to capture it on camera; but it doesn't do it justice.  This is the close up of the flowers and the sentiment.  I love these little flowers on the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  They are even prettier in person.

Mojo Monday and Ruby's Rainbow Sketch - Birthday Card using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi all you wonderful bloggers out there!  I have been sick for two weeks and still not feeling much better.  I had the urge to create something; so I won't forget how.  Ha!!   I hope all of you are having a wonderful day!!  It is another beautiful day in Southern CA.  I wish I could get out and enjoy it; but I am sure I will feel better soon.

I purchased some retired CTMH patterned card stock and decided to use it to create a birthday card for one of my granddaughters.  I rarely use red; because my favorite colors are in the purple and pink family.  I decided to do something different this time. 

I created this card following the sketch from Mojo Monday and Ruby's Rainbow.   You'll have to excuse my bow as I am still struggling to learn to tie one.  I had a little challenge with getting the Happy Birthday straight; but I did the best I could at the time.  I didn't have the energy to start over; so please excuse my imperfections.

I created this card using retired patterned card stock from CTMH which features the colors of: Bamboo, Cranberry, Desert Sand and Ponderosa Pine.  I love the flowers and the stripes.  I used CTMH card stock to match the colors in the patterned card stock.  Here is my close up of the flower. Sometimes it doesn't seem necessary to do a close up; but I have people asking for them when I don't.

This flower was created with two of the same patterned paper and one plain card stock.  I had a challenge trying to find a pattern that would go with the colors in the card; so I used what I could find for the flower.  Click on the pictures to see a closer look.
