Thinking of You Fun Fold Card Using CTMH Feels Like Home Paper w/Feels Like Home Stamp Set

Hello friends! I hope you are doing well and finding time to craft.  It is such a relief to have some time to create something.  Crafting is a stress reliever for me most of the time; as long as I am not on a deadline to get something done.  LOL!

I created another Thinking Of You Fun fold card for my other sister, Becky.  This is my 3rd creation with this type of cards.  I really enjoy creating them; especially trying to find other dies for the front of them.  

I found this posted somewhere on Pinterest I think.  This version was created by Gaynor Boyce.  Click on her name to pull up her blog post and the link for her video.  I made mine with different measurements; so that I could use a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch sized envelope and card.  I like this size.  

I created a video to share with you how I created this special fold card.  You can find this video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN9QYRZZnn8&t=22s.

Sympathy Card Using Anna Griffin Fantastic Flip Cards

Hello friends!  How is life treating you?  Good I hope.  I created this last month; but just now posting it.  

Sometimes I just need to make some quick and easy cards for emergencies.  I keep a stock of Anna Griffin Flip cards just for that purpose.  I also own the dies; which is great when you want to use one of your own papers.  If I need a card with stickers and everything ready to assemble; I use one of these. Plus, I love her gorgeous flip cards. Sometimes I feel like I am cheating when I use these card kits.  LOL!  But, there is still some creativity involved in making them.  It took me a couple days; even using this card kit.  LOL!  I have days when even an easy card kit doesn't work for me.  But, I do not like to send store bought cards unless I have to.  

I needed a sympathy card for my granddaughter - Gabrielle's, grandmother in Florida; as she lost her husband, Bobby on Nov. 15th.  It is a very tough time for all of us; but I hope this card makes her smile for a little while.  Plus, these cards offer a place inside to write a personal message; which is also very nice.

Mini Pocket letter Using 3 x 4 CTMH Picture My Life Cards With Everyday Life Memory Protectors

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is staying cool with all of this super hot weather.  It is too hot to do anything outside in Southern CA.  Over 100 degrees this week!  I saw somewhere in CA where it was over 120 degrees.  I feel so bad for the people who live in that area.  

It is time for another fabulous Art by Miran Anything Goes Blog Challenge.  I decided to try my hand at creating my version of the Mini Pocket Letter.  I also created a video; which takes you through creating one of these pocket letters.  

I didn't have the Player card size pocket holder; so I used the CTMH 3 x 4 Memory Protector pages that hold Picture My Life cards.  These are part of the fabulous CTMH Everyday Life Album/Planner.  There are 3 different sized memory protectors for this album; so any of them could be used for a pocket letter.  Check out the other Picture My life cards and products to create Pocket Letters or Pocket Scrapbooking.

I needed a Memory Protector that would be big enough for my Art by Miran digi image.  It turned out perfect.  It took me longer to create this pocket letter than it would have to create a card; because it was all new to me.  I have used the CTMH Picture My Life cards for scrapbooking; but have never thought to use them as a pocket letter.  

I hope you enjoy my Mini Pocket letter and will try this size; as it is perfect.  I was intimidated by the 9 player card memory protectors; and later saw people dividing them into mini ones; but I actually like using the 3 x 4 size much better.  This is my first pocket letter; so I am sure they will improve with practice.  LOL!   I just found a tutorial for little envelopes that will work great for holding the gifts for this pocket letter.  So many fabulous ideas out there on YouTube.  

Pocket Letter/Pocket Mail/Pocket Srapbooking Lovers - Cricut Artfully Sent is retiring and it has lots of pocket cards and sleeve cards for your Pocket letters.  So many awesome cards to choose from.  Click here to see the handbook.  Click here to view more information on this awesome Cricut Cartridge - 700 plus items.  All images can be sized for your specific pocket card with the Cricut Explore Cutting Machine.
