Thank You Cards Using Lucy Paper Packet and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

I created two Thank You cards using Lucy Paper Packet and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge.  I  created this same card several months ago using some paper I had lying around; but I wanted to see what it would look like using CTMH Lucy.  I find it much easier to create the different borders with the Art Philosophy cartridge and I love all the flowers available on this cartridge.  The flower is also from the Lucy paper; but doesn't really show well in this picture.  I used a stamp set that is only available to CTMH consultants; but you can find "Thank You" sentiment on "4 My Friend" D1510 and also on "Card Word Puzzle" C1494.  Remember - Buy 2 get 1 free for the month of June. 

 

My lighting wasn't very good when I took the picture above; but it was the best I could do at the time.  I created two with the same pattern but with different pages of the Lucy paper packet.  Here is the second card.  I like to keep extra Thank You cards around the house because I seem to use them quite often.  I love these colors.  I used two of the 1 inch borders from the Cricut AP cart for the inside with another stamp.  I used both of these before I could get this blog posted.  I guess I will start making more Thank You cards. 

Supplies I used for these two cards:

Card stock base - CTMH Colonial White - cut at 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

Paper - CTMH Lucy Paper Packet

Border and flower - CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Cardstock for flower layer - CTMH Blush

Stamp set - Can find Thank You on "4 My Friend" D1510 and also "Card Word Puzzle" C1494

Ribbon - Celebrate It (1st card) Offray (2nd card)

Ink - CTMH Cotton Candy for sentiment and inside and outside edging

Bling - http://www.want2scrap.com

Adhesive - Tombow Adhesive

Foam - CTMH 3D Foam Tape

I am entering these cards in the following challenges:

Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes

Lollypop Crafts - Challenge #83 - Flowers in Bloom

Make It Monday - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Anything Goes

The Ribbon Girl - Use Ribbon or Lace

Stampalot Challenge - Bingo - First card has purple, ribbon and pink.

I hope you enjoyed these two cards.  It is always amazing to me that you can create the same style with different pages of the same paper packet and end up with two very different looking cards.  I did use the same green border in the middle and on the inside as well.  It went so well together and I love the Lucy Paper Packet.  It also comes in "Workshops To Go - Lucy".  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Comments are welcome here.  Have a fabulous day!!  Remember - Keep On Creating!!

Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge - Birthday card

Hi you wonderful bloggers out there!!!  Another Spring day in Southern CA and it is gorgeous outside.  Can't wait to get out there.  My 14 yr old grandson is visiting from MO and we are having a blast!!  I have to get up at 5 AM in order to get my cards and scrapbooking done.  Not much sleep this week; but it is so worth it to have him here.  We spent the afternoon yesterday just visiting high end car dealerships in Beverly Hills.  What an experience.  I didn't know there were so many expensive cars out there.  He is a walking fact machine for cars.  Knows everything about them.  He could sell all of them.  :)  Rodeo drive is always a hot spot for expensive cars as well. 

I used three different sketches this week and I think I was able to pull it off.  I entered this card in my 1st, 2nd and 3rd sketch challenges.  This was my 2nd entry for the 1st sketch.  I think I am getting the hang of it now.  Here is my "Happy Birthday" card using three sketches, dots/spots, stripes, pastels, never inked stamp, Spring and flowers.  Wow!! That was fun putting them all together.  I like combining my challenges.  This paper is very shiny and pretty; but the shine doesn't show up on the pictures for some reason.

This is a view trying to show you the shiny paper.  Everything on here shines.  It was hard to capture.  Click to enlarge. 

This sketch is from Cards & Things Sketch Challenge #114. See list below for link to this challenge. 

This is the sketch from unscriptedsketches.com.  You can flip it, rotate it, create a card, a scrapbook page; whatever you want to do and it is fine with them.  I love this.  See below for link.

This is my second entry into the sketch challenge seen below.  I think this card is pretty close to the same sketch as this one; so I decided to enter another one. 

 

I love the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut collection!!  You can create so many fun things for your cards and scrapbooking.  It has become my favorite cricut cartridge.  I used it for my flowers in 3 different sizes as well as the tag for the Happy Birthday stamp.  This is a closer view.  Click on the pictures to enlarge. 

The Happy Birthday stamp was made with my new Acrylix CTMH Card Word Puzzle Stamp Set which was part of the Pemberley Add-On selection that I purchased with my kit when I joined CTMH the end of March.  It has several words you can select and put together to create whatever you want to say.  They are small; but very clear.  I was very impressed with these stamp sets.

Card - Reflections 6 1/2 X 5 white

Paper - S-e-i Couture (Shiny cardstock)
