Thank You Cards Using CTMH Stamps and Ribbon

Hello to all you fabulous people!  I hope you are staying warm and safe with all the cold winter weather.  Please drive safely if you are traveling.  I hope everyone has time to create during the holiday season.  I know it can be very busy this time of year. 
 
I try to get all my Christmas shopping finished the end of November or first of December; so I don't have to be out there with all the crowds.  It is just too hectic and people fighting over things isn't my idea of fun.  I stopped going out on Black Friday because of people fighting over merchandise.  It was crazy.  I hope you have fun with all your shopping and holiday baking; as well as spending quality time with your families. 
 
I created more Thank you cards.  The color didn't turn out very well on the lavender ones for pictures.  That is one color that I just can't get right when I edit the pictures.  I hope you can get a general idea of what they look like.  They are very pretty in person.

Christmas Card Using CTMH Frosted Paper Pack

Hello friends.  Happy Holidays to everyone.  I have been creating Christmas cards.  I am still working on CTMH Frosted Cardmaking Kit; but wanted to share a card I created using the CTMH Frosted Paper Pack.  I love this paper.  It is so gorgeous in person.
I wanted to create a card for my son and his family with a buck silhouette; because they all hunt deer in deer season.  My grandson got one this year; but not sure about his mom or dad.  I couldn't shoot a deer; but they eat the meat all year long.  I found this stamp with Stampin Up; so I decided to get it and another one with sentiments and a dove.  These two were my first stamps to try with Stampin Up. 
I thought their Clear stamps meant they were like our CTMH stamp sets; where you can actually see through them when stamping; but I found out they are the thick red rubber stamps.  I realized they say they are clear because they actually attach to the clear blocks.  I am spoiled with being able to see where I am stamping and had a few challenges with these.  I had trouble stamping straight; but that is because I am used to the see through stamps.  LOL!  They are very pretty stamp sets and I really like them. 
I have been buying Spellbinders die cuts and really having fun with them.  I used both the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and two different Spellbinders dies.  I love combining the different dies with the CTMH Cricut cartridges.  It makes creating so much easier with both.  I was following Mojo Monday Sketch; but I think I made a mistake and it was supposed to be a little different than this; but included it anyway; since it was the inspiration behind my card.  I hope you enjoy my Christmas card. 


Inside Card



This inspired me; but I didn't quite do it right.  I thought the paper was all the way across in my mind and then realized after I glued it that it was only supposed to partially cover the area.


Supplies used to create this card:

Die Cuts -  Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (sentiment base and outside image)
Large  printed snowflake inside -  Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
Spellbinders A2 Distressed Edges and Gold Corner Sets One
Cardstock and Paper - CTMH Frosted  
Punch - Large snowflake is Martha Stewart and small one is Recollections.
Ink - CTMH Saddle
Bling - CTMH Frosted Card Making Kit
Stamp for Deer head - Stampin Up Remembering Christmas (I had to have this deer silhouette.)
Stamp for sentiments - Stampin Up Calm Christmas (Loved these Sentiments)

Thank You Cards Using CTMH Stamps


Hi there all you fabulous crafters and readers!  I hope everyone is staying warm.  We even have cold weather here in Southern CA.  It has been getting down in the low 30's at night and 50's - 60's in the daytime.  I know that doesn't seem cold for most of you out there; but for us - it is cold!  LOL!  You have to remember when you move to a warmer climate; your body gets acclimated to in a year or two and then you feel cold when it gets in the 60's.

I created these Thank you cards over a month ago.  It was my first time experimenting with just using stamps and cardstock.  I thought they turned out pretty good; especially for a beginner.  I just created another 4 cards with just stamps and cardstock; which I think turned out even better.  I will post those sometime soon; I hope.
