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.

Birthday Card Using Cricut Artbooking Cartridge

Hi to all my fellow crafters/friends.  I have been on vacation; so haven't created anything for over 3 weeks and I feel lost right now trying to come up with something to share with you.  Tammy's Scrapin Corner has changed to teams now and my team creates a card every two weeks now instead of every week.  I think I require some sort of discipline to create weekly; but I am sure I will enjoy it once I get the swing of having a week to create anything I want.  I love using sketches; and I use to do a lot of them; so maybe I will start doing that again. 

I ended up posting two cards that I created before I left for vacation; so this post is going to be for Tammy's Scrapin Corner.  It is time for another fabulous week at Tammy's Scrapin Corner and I am sure you will love this weeks theme - Challenge #82 - Monochromatic.  I can't wait to see what you create with this one.  I had fun putting this one together.  Our Guest Designer today is Dewi.  Click her name to visit her blog and see more of her beautiful creations.  If you would like to be a Guest Designer; please add GDT behind your name when you enter. 

Our Sponsor this week is Bugaboo.  Drop by their website and find all sorts of fabulous digi stamps.  The ideas and stamps are endless and you will love all of them as I do.  I think I own 80% or more of their stamps.  LOL!!

I used the Bugaboo image "Live, Love, Laugh Flower Fairy"; which is normally black; but I made it lavender.  I decided to use all lavender and white for my creation; which is my favorite color - of course.  I got this new Die Cut from Joy Crafts called Butterfly Edge Die and had to use it right away.  I have tried to get it for a while and it was back ordered.  I love this die.  I love butterflies of any shape or color and I also love fairies.  I have had this image for a while. 



Inside card





 Supplies I used to create this card:

Teresa Collins EBosser Bundle - This is my first creation with this wonderful machine and it is fabulous.  It cut everything and embossed so perfectly.  Unbelievable!  Came from HSN.

Swing Cards Using Cricut Artiste and Cricut Art Philosophy plus August Winner of FREE $25 of CTMH Products

Hi Fellow Crafters!  I was on vacation and have been having a challenge trying to get caught up.  I just finished unpacking last night.  LOL.  I suffer from jet lag and migraines from traveling with all the smells; so I haven't felt up to normal yet.  It usually takes me a few weeks to get back to normal.
 
I have a drawing each month for $25 FREE in CTMH products for everyone who orders $50 or more.  Congratulation to Mercedes H.  - the winner for my August drawing.  I don't always remember to post them here.  I have been notifying the winner.  I love giving free products to my loyal customers.   I am also having several drawings for my followers on my blog.  I am trying to reach 500 followers; so I have several free prizes to give away coming soon.  Please take time to link to the linky if you have a blog.  If you don't have a blog; just leave me a comment on the followers post by clicking here.  If you are already a follower; I appreciate you following my blog.  If not; I would love to have you as a follower.  Please leave me your link for your post as well; so I can follow you too.  I would love more "likes" on my Facebook page as well.
 
I have two clubs that you can join to also earn free CTMH products.  I would love for you to check them out.  Click the tabs at the top of the page for "Kit of the Month Club" and "Rewards Club". 
 
I created these cards before going on vacation and created a video on YouTube; so I wanted to share them here as well.  These cards are using the new "You Are My Happy" September National Stamping month trio stamps that you can pay only $10 for with any $50 purchase.  What a deal.  Retail value is $47.90.  See pictures below of all three stamps.  This special ends Sept. 30th; so don't wait; place your order today.  All the images and sentiments are from this set of trio stamps; except the outside sentiment for the first card and it is cut with Cricut Artbooking Cartridge, pg. 47.
 
These are both Swing cards; which you can create easily with the Cricut Artiste; page 52.  I love these cards and they work great with the double sided CTMH paper packets.  This first one is "For Always" paper pack; which I am so in love with this one.  I have bought several packs and use it for everything.
