Birthday Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and AP Celebration Stamp Set With CTMH Markers

Good morning to all my fellow bloggers/creators.  It remains fairly warm here in Southern California; but it is cooler than it was a few weeks ago.  It is hard to believe it is fall when the weather is this warm; but the leaves are changing so it must be fall.

 

I am very excited to share my card with you that I created for Tammy's Scrapin Corner .  I was chosen to be a Guest Designer on her blog using a fall theme.  I feel honored to be a part of such a creative team; even for just one day.  Be sure to check out all the wonderful creations from the rest of the team and enter your project as well. 

 

I used a digital stamp from QKR Stampede; one of the sponsors this week.  Drop by and check out their cute digi and rubber stamps.  You will find this one under Autumn and Scarecrow.  I am in love with scarecrows right now; as many other people.  They are everywhere -  in the stores, in yards, on cards and all kinds of other projects.  I am planning on giving this card to one of my grandsons on his birthday.  I think he will love it!!

 

I used CTMH new markers and I love them!!  They are so easy to use.  I had to use a few Copic markers for my browns and skin tones; as CTMH Basic colors are not available at this time.  I can't wait to have the complete set.  I love how they coordinate with the ink, cardstock and paper packets.  There are two in a pack with one either lighter or darker than the regular color.  You can see them on page 9 of our Autumn/Winter Idea Book with the cardstock and ink pads.

Watch this video for CTMH Card Making Kits.  The two card kits are Avonlea (Thank You) kit and Pear & Partridge (Christmas card) kit. The Pear & Partidge is perfect for making Christmas cards for your family and friends.  I am currently making the Christmas cards and they are so easy to follow.  Each kit makes 15 cards plus I have enough paper left over to make additional cards by using cardstock I have on hand.  Both WOTG kits come with a D size stamp set and all the embellishments you will need to make these beautiful cards shown here.

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.
