Thank You Cards Using CTMH Confetti Wishes, Cricut Art Philosophy and Cricut Artbooking Cartridges

Hello friends.  I went to the beach for a walk last Friday; which is the first time in over a year.  I use to go every week and spend 4 hrs there on Sunday afternoons; before I married my husband.  I lived closer to the beach at that time.  I didn't realize how much I missed it until I went there again.  I love to walk in the sand and the ocean, watch the Dolphins and just forget about how busy life can be. Of course one of the reasons I stopped going was due to all the smells of sunscreen, smoking, cologne and perfume smells out there; which cause me to have difficulty breathing.  I think I have forgotten how to relax after pushing my self for so long.  I hope all of you are taking time to relax and to enjoy your life.  

I create Thank you cards each month for my customers; and this is one I created for the month of August.  I fell in love with this CTMH Confetti Wishes paper as soon as I saw it.  Of course; you all know how much I love purple; and to have pink and yellow with it, is even better.  LOL!  I leave the inside blank and write a note on some pretty paper to my customers; so that they can pass it on to someone else.  I liked completing the inside too; but this seems more personal to me and can be given to someone else who might need a thank you in their lives.

All Occasion Cards Using Avonlea Paper Packet and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

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
