365 Days of Cards

Jeepers  has so much color in it. The RAWR!! Picture My Life card is perfect to create a fun Birthday card. 

Today I created a digital card as I need to send a Save the Date  card for a neighborhood Christmas party. I used PhotoShop to create this card as I have quite a few to make! Happy Sunday.

Today was a busy day. We (meaning my husband and a friend) drywalled the basement ceiling after we got up early and hit Lowe's for drywall. I took Simon and a friend to the Spokane Symphony and then came home and made dinner for my work crew! Tomorrow is a day of work for all of us! Today I had time to play with the Flower Market Cricut cartridge and cardstock to create this simple Thank You  card. All supplies can be ordered here .

Swan Lake  is versatile with so many colors. I used Poppy cardstock and ink . I added white shimmer trim and enamels . This card will also go into a card pack for my son's teacher.

I have quite a bit of the retired Pathfinding paper left. I bought many packs as I loved the style and colors. Today I used that along with Glacier cardstock and some retired ribbon to create this simple   Thank You  card. The stamp is from the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge.

Another fabulous Birthday Card courtesy of Swan Lake. I used the Swan Lake paper pack, Flower Market Cricut Cartridge and a variety of shimmer trim colors.

The Oh Deer!  paper pack can be used for far more than winter and Christmas. I used the sea glass dots and wood grain patterned paper to make this simple Thanksgiving/Thank You card. The sentiment is from the retired Gratitude stamp set. I added 3 gray enamel gems. 

Swan Lake and the retired Snowmen stamp set work together to create a create winter card that can be used for birthdays, thank you's or just a hello card. I added Silver shimmer trim to give the card a little pop!

City Sidewalks  has so many fun patterns. Today I decided to feature the Willow color with the City Sidewalks collection. I also used Green Glitter paper and the Flower Market Cartridge for the Merry Christmas  sentiment. I added a small piece of white twine too. Happy Sunday and go Seahawks!

This morning I woke up early and enjoyed some crafting and coffee! Two of my favorite Saturday things. I used the Oh Deer! paper and the Woodland Wishes Thin Cuts and Stamps to create this fabulous winter card. It could be used for Christmas, Birthday, Thank You, or just a Hello card. I used the new Sea Glass cardstock and ink and Fern  cardstock and ink with the thin cuts and stamps.

I received my Close to My Heart order today and received the Wood Slats Embossing folder. I used it with the Oh Deer! paper pack and the Yuletide Joy Stamp of the Month. I used the Sea Glass  ink for the bell. 

One of my all time favorite paper packs from Close to My Heart was the Blossom paper pack. Today I used the Blossom paper pack,  Finding the Words  stamp set and the Flower Market  Cricut Cartridge to create this card.

 Today's Throwback Thursday card uses the retired Frightly Fun stamp set. I colored the bat and pumpkins with my ShinHan markers available through Close To My Heart.

Some days all cardstock cards are just what is needed. Today I combined the Flower Market Cricut Cartridge and the following cardstocks: Sunset (retired) Goldrush Pacifica Flaxen

Swan Lake  and the "4 My Friend" stamp set work together to create this beautiful card. This will be part of a card set I give to my son's teacher for Christmas. 

I absolutely love how this card turned out. One of my good friends recently moved into a new home and I need to send her a card. I used my Cricut Artbooking cartridge and cut the card at 5" so it fits in a 5" x 7" envelope. I also took a 4"x 6" piece of watercolor paper and painted with my watercolor paints  random colors in order to create color for the flowers. I used Pixie cardstock to make the Happy Home  pop.

When I think of New Year's I think of simple and a fresh start. Using the Oh Deer!  paper pack, Glacier cardstock, watercolor paints and the Flower Market Cartridge  I was able to create this fun card. The jar is cut at 2" and the flower is cut at 3 1/2". I used Rasberry , Pixie  and Glacier  cardstock. The yellow banner was created using watercolor paints and paper .

Paper Fundamentals- Enchantment , the September Stamp of the Month, Blessed Beyond Measure, and watercolor paints create a beautiful card when put all together.

I made this fun card to send to my niece and nephew for Halloween. I used the retired Cricut Artiste cartridge along with a round card that I found in my stash from Close to My Heart. I used Tangerine, Black and Fern cardstock . It was a fun and easy card to make that hopefully will bring a smile to their faces.

I used the new Swan Lake  paper pack tonight to make this beautiful Happy Birthday  card. You will see cards over the next two weeks using this rich paper pack. I also used the following Close To My Heart Products: Black Shimmer Trim Retired Sequins Poppy Ink 4 My Friend Stamp Set  (retired)

The Swan Lake paper pack has so many different designs. This paper is so rich and beautiful. I paired with the retired 4 My Friend stamp set and sequins. We are working on our basement remodel this weekend.I hope you have an amazing weekend with your family and friends.

I realized today I have not made a shaker card in awhile. Christmas and snowmen are the perfect shaker card combination! The only thing I forgot to do was turn my jar upside down! By the time I realized it I had adhered everything down. The jar is cut at 2 1/4" and is from the Flower Market Cricut Cartridge. The snowmen are from the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge and are cut at 1 3/4", 2" and 2 1/4". I used the following Close to My Heart products for this card: Oh Deer! Paper Pack Flip Flaps (to make the shaker) Cricut Cartridge Artbooking and Flower Market Cartridge

Jeepers is not only a great Fall/Halloween paper pack, it is also perfect for Birthday cards. I decided to use the Jeepers paper pack in conjunction with the Wise Guy  birthday stamp and the Artistry  cartridge. Our school nurses birthday is today and this will be perfect for her. Happy Tuesday.

I strayed a little bit from cards today and instead started making Christmas tags. I used the following Close to My Heart products: Yuletide Joy stamp of the mont h Peacock ink Kraft cardstock Ribbon from the Enchantment Fundamental pack

Halloween is just around the corner and the Jeepers  paper pack is so fun. I used Emerald  cardstock, the Jeepers paper pack, complements and  assortment . This will be the perfect Halloween card this year!

The Yuletide Joy stamp of the month bell is perfect with Kraft cardstock, Sea Glass cardstock and my CTMH watercolor pencils . The bells do not have a coordinating Cricut cut, but it was very easy to cloud cut around them to get the bell shape.

Boss's Day is October 17th and a co-workers of my husband asked for a card. I combined Kraft cardstock and Peacock Cardstock to make this card. Everything is stamped in Peacock ink. I also used the Cricut Artistry Cartridge, an alphabet stamp set from another cartridge and the Wise Guy Birthday stamp set.

Today's Throwback Thursday cards uses mostly old but the new Yuletide Joy stamp of the month. I used retired Lilac and purple glitter paper. I embossed the stamp in Silver Embossing Powder. I love how the Yuletide Joy stamp set has intricate detail that is perfect for embossing. Purple is truly a Christmas color representing Advent and royalty.

Enchanted Fundamentals  is a great paper pack to make thank you cards. All the colors in the pack coordinate wonderfully. Adding in the Finding the Words stamp set creates a simple Thank You  card.

This morning I had time to play with the Cricut Artistry cartridge to make a Thank You  card. I used Crystal Blue cardstock, Memo Fundamentals  and Canary cardstock. The thanks  sentiment is from the Finding the Words stamp set. I cut the background alphabet at 3 3/4".

Christmas is coming up quicker than I care to admit. I thought the Oh Deer!  paper pack and the Woodland Wishes stamp and thin cuts worked great with gold shimmer trim . I stamped MERRY in Raspberry ink to give a  little pop to the card. 

The Oh Deer! paper pack and the October Stamp of the Month, Yuletide Joy  coordinate perfectly together to create beautiful Christmas cards. I also added a strip of gold glitter cardstock and embossed the star in white embossing powder. 

The Rustic Home  Fundamental paper pack, Flower Market Cricut Cartridge and Sea Glass cardsdtock combined perfectly to make a great Thank You card that I need for a co-worker. I cut the Full of Thanks  at 3" and the heart at 2 3/4".
