Mojo Monday #238 & H2H

Got busy and missed last weeks Mojo Monday but this weeks sketch begged to be created!  So simple and fun.  Also, well popping around the inspiration blogs I saw this weeks Heart 2 Heart colour challenge which is so the Dotty for You papers.  Two challenges in one! Fun.

I decided to use my new Close To My Heart Cricut® Art Philosophy cartridge as much as possible on this card as I haven't had much of a chance to experiment with it yet.  I ended up only using a few images on this card but it did take awhile to decide which ones I wanted to try!

The size of the card became 4 x4 1/2 once I got the postage stamp squares cut out and of course I used the exclusive limited edition Dotty For You papers as they are just so bright and cheerful!

I used a few Just Blooms flowers inking them with Sunset and stamped the "Hello!" from the A Bowwow stamp set in Lagoon.  A bit of Startdust glitz glitter gel in the centre of the flower and it's ready for a friend.  So simple and fun. Enjoy.

Atlantic Hearts #233

This card and I are not the best of friends!  The vision in my head for this weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts just did not work and then this didn't work, and that didn't work.  Some days!  But I have made myself be okay with this card and I think it kinda follows the sketch.
For this card, I used papers from both the Silver & Gold (background) and Beary Christmas (tree) paper packets.  Ruby Cardstock was used for my frame and deer which are both Cricut cuts and the star, banner and tree are all thin cuts from the Beary Christmas Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts set.  I stamped the sentiment in Ruby Ink.  The star is cut out on Gold Glitter Paper and the gold background stripe and the tree trunk is shimmer trim.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.  I hope I have inspired you to come play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

Happy Crafting!

Happy December!

Whew!  November was a blur of Christmas Card Workshops, Home Parties, and a Card Buffet! I'm a little tired but do have plans for a few card buffets and other crafty fun this month.  A couple of cards that I created for the recent card buffet turned out super cute and use a mix of old and new product!  Love when I can do that.

This "stag" card features the awesome green buffalo plaid paper from the current Beary Christmas Paper Packet and the stag is from Cricut Artistry but the rest is retired CTMH products from my stash!  The stamp is from last year and is called D1694 Very Merry Holiday if you are able to find one for sale online grab it!  You will not be disappointed the whole stamp set is awesome and I will be using mine for years to come.  As mentioned the stag is from Cricut Artistry and I cut it out in white daisy cardstock and chocolate cardstock (retired) and the leaves are from Cricut Flower Market in Fern. 
The design for this card comes from the Close to My …

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #229

Hello, my friends! My apologies for being a little MIA the past several weeks but when you have too much going on something always falls through the cracks!  BUT school is back in which means way more crafting time for me!

This weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts is up and I decided to play with a little more of the Jack Paper Collection, it recently retired and that is a real shame because I love these papers!  I am working on my annual Christmas Card workshops and decided to have a little fun with the bearded man papers... I give you "Warm Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses".
Sometimes going a little outside the box can be so much fun and I really hope my workshop attendees love this card as much as I do. To create the card I used Slate Cardstock for my base and added the " Bearded Men in Hats".  To add a bit more whimsy the mustache border is from Cricut Artistry and the branches for my mistletoe is from Cricut Flower Market cut out in New England Ivy and Fern cardstocks…
