All Occasion Card Using CTMH Pemberley Paper and Cricut Artiste

Hello to all of you beautiful people!  I am so happy to have time to create and to share with you.  It is truly a blessing to have all of you as my followers and readers!!  I love to see your creations as well.  I would love to offer challenges someday; but I don't feel I am ready for that yet. 

 

One of the things I love the most is to create cards to give to others.  I hope the receivers feel as much joy in receiving them as I do in creating them.  I think it is important to show our appreciation for the people in our lives as much as possible. 

 

I created these 3 cards several months ago and used them as Thank You cards for my CTMH customers.  I used CTMH Pemberley retired paper that I love.  This is one of my absolute favorites and I wish I had purchased more of it than I did.  It's always a hard decision to make because there are so many papers that I love and I don't have room to store so many.  You never know what the next group of papers is going to look like.  I hope you enjoy my creations.

Thank You Card Using Stella Paper Packet and Cricut Artiste Collection

Hello to all my blogging and crafting friends.  I have been staying inside most of the week due to the extreme hot weather here in Southern CA.  I hope everyone is staying cool.  I tried to go bike riding early yesterday morning and I had a bike wreck.  Not sure how it happened.  I forgot how badly a fall can make you feel.  I ache all over; but I want to get this post done before resting. 

I created a Thank You card for my Mojo Monday card this week.  I am a little late in getting it on here.  I used CTMH Stella Paper Packet and a couple different stamp sets.  I used the new Cricut Artiste Collection stamps for the outside sentiment and the Cricut Artiste Cartridge for the sentiment accent.  I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection stamp set for the inside sentiment.  The cute little gnome and mushroom are from CTMH "Gnome Garden" which is retired now.  I love that stamp set and thought it would be cute on a Thank you card.
