Thank You Cards Using Dotty Paper With The Cricut Art Philosophy and Cricut Artiste Cartridges

Hi all you wonderful people!!  I hope everyone is having a great life and finding time to create.

 

I created these Thank you cards over a month ago; but haven't had time to post them on my blog.  I hope you enjoy them.  I used the Dotty For You Paper packet that we had early last year; which is now retired.  I love this paper and wanted to use it for my Thank your cards.  I love the dragonfly found on the Cricut Art Philosophy.  I use these two cartridges as my main cartridges and there is always one of them in my Cricut.  If you haven't checked them out; I would highly recommend it.  They are the best two cartridges I have found for the Cricut.

Encouragement Card With Sketches By Carly Using Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Hello everyone!!  I hope you are doing well and finding time to create.  I have to start getting my house ready for my husband's family coming for two weeks; so I won't be on here much after the 15th for a couple weeks.  I will miss having time to create; but will be so ready after such a long break!! 

 

It is time for another new sketch with Sketches by Carly.  Carly is a beautiful, creative, 13 year old lady who has such a fabulous talent that I feel very privileged to be part of her Design Team.  She also finds time to create digital stamps as well as her great sketches.  Check out her digital stamps at Carly's Cuties.  This sketch is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps; and they will be offering 7 free digital stamps for the winner of this weeks prize.  Be sure and create your card using Carly's sketch and join us in the fun!!

I used CTMH "Dotty For You" Paper Packet; which is retired.  I wanted to use the page with the bicycle and all the encouraging sentiments already on the paper; plus I added others to the blank spots.  I added "You're the best", "You're amazing", "Life is Good" and "You Make The World A Better Place."  They are stamped with CTMH Lagoon ink (Teal blue color).

Mojo Monday - Friend Card using Dotty For You Paper

Hi all you wonderful bloggers out there!! I felt creative yesterday; so I created a friend a card.  I had purchased a retired stamp set from another consultant and wanted to use it.  I am in love with this stamp set.  This is the first card I have created in a long time without using my Cricut.  I didn't realize I could still do that.  Ha!!  This one was an easy one with Mojo Monday.  I love their sketches. 

I didn't get enough ink on my stamp; but I didn't have time to do it over.  I love CTMH stamps; because the words are so clear even without the proper amount of ink.  The butterfly is supposed to be different shades; but I may not have gotten enough ink on it either.  I did the best I could with the short amount of time I had to create it.

Dotty For You Paper Packet using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi all you fantastic bloggers out there.  I am so happy to have time to create something today.  I decided I haven't used my "Dotty For You paper packet" enough and wanted to create something else for you.  This beautiful paper will be available to order April 17 - May 31 for just $5 when you purchase $35 or more in products from our Spring/Summer Idea Book.  Click here to order.  For just $50 in products; you can add the April stamp of the month for just $5.  What fantastic deals!!  My stamp of the month should be on its way now.  I can't wait to use it!

I decided to use a sketch from Sweet stop sketches to create this card.  I love their sketches. They are so much fun.  Here is my card.  I love the "Everyday Life Stamp set" which is included in the Stella On The go Workshop.  This chair and the sentiment are just too cute. 

This is the sketch I chose to use for this card.  There are many sketches at their blog.  There were other options for this challenge if you want to participate.  See their link below.

I used the new CTMH "Dotty For You paper packet: for this card.  I also used Lagoon and Colonial White cardstock.  I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut the square and the oval for my stamped chair and sentiment.  The chair and sentiment are from "Everyday Life Stamps" which is part of "Stella Workshop On The Go"; which you will find on page 19 of the Spring/Summer Idea Book.  This is a closer view of the stamp, sentiment and the patterns in the paper.  There is a pattern in the paper with the butterflies.  I love this paper packet.  I have already ordered two of them as I know I will want to use it for a long time.  See how nicely the colors and patterns coordinate with each other. 

Supplies I used for this card:

Patterned Paper - CTMH Dotty For You Paper Pack

Cardstock - CTMH Lagoon cardstock (background) and Colonial White cardstock for square/oval

Chair stamp and sentiment - "Everyday Life Stamps" in the Stella Workshop on the Go

Ink - CTMH Lagoon Exclusive ink

Square & Oval - CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, Oval 2 - 1 1/4 in; Square 1 - 3 in.

Sparkles - CTMH Sparkles

Foam Mounting Tape
