Birthday Card Using CTMH Avonlea Paper Pack With Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridges

DT Project For Tammy's Scrapin Corner Challenge #67 - Anything With Wings

Hi to everyone.  I hope you are having a fabulous day!  The weather has been nice in Southern CA; but starting to get hot again.  I have been trying to get back into my normal routine after vacation; but everyone knows how hard that is to do.  I am waiting anxiously for my daughter to close on her house; which is scheduled for Monday.  I wish I could be there to help her move.  She is going to have her hands full with 4 kids, 3 dogs and 1 cat.  Their furniture and all their belongings are in a storage unit right now because the closing was delayed 2 weeks ago when they sold their current home.  I am so excited for her and her family.
 
It is time for another fabulous challenge at Tammy's Scrapin Corner #67 - Anything With Wings.  Be sure to check out the other creations and join the fun by entering our challenge.  If you would like to have a chance at the Guest Designer spot for a week; just add GDT behind your name when you enter.  Our sponsors this week are Eureka Stamps and Kenny K.  They have incredible Digi Stamps; so be sure to check out their stores.
 
I chose Kenny K Devilish Donna Precolored for my image this week.  I love this image and had to use it when I saw it.  I had a challenge with creating my card this week due to creator's block; which hasn't happened to me for a while.  You can get Devilish Donna with and without color.  I love having that option because you can use either one that suits your mood.  I decided to use all Digi sentiments inside and outside my card this time; and the best part is they were FREE from Hannelie at Desert Diva.  Check out her blog for more wonderful free Digi sentiments.

Birthday Card for Male - Using CTMH Avonlea Paper

Hi all you beautiful crafters out there!!  It's really hot here in Southern CA; so I have been staying inside trying to stay cool.  We had a few earthquakes here a couple days ago; which is always a frightening experience to me.  I wasn't living here when they had the last big one; but seeing it on TV was enough to know I didn't want to be here when one hits.  Now - I'm living here and where do you go?  It isn't like a hurricane that you have advanced notice and can outrun; which I use to do when I lived in Florida.  Every area has it's fear factor.  We need to have faith and trust everything will work out the way it is supposed to work out. 

I missed Mojo Monday last week.  I don't know how I forgot it; but I did.  I created a birthday card for my son; which was more difficult than I thought it would be.  Trying to find that many layers of coordinating paper can be a challenge.  Plus; trying to figure out what to use for sentiments to fit that person.   He is a dog lover; so I went with using A Bowwow stamp set on the outside.   My coloring for the dog wasn't what I wanted; but it was all I had in brown colors.


Inside card - Used retired set for the Smile sentiment.  (CTMH "Wonderful You") and CTMH "4 My Friend" for Happy Birthday sentiment.







Supplies Used For This Card:

Card base - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Paper - CTMH Avonlea Paper Packet (X7155B)

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
