You are in my thoughts card with CTMH Rosy Regards

When I was a little girl my Grandma had a beautiful set of china in her dining room that was her 20th anniversary gift from my Grandpa and had gorgeous yellow roses on it. I remember that set so clearly but I definitely don't remember her ever letting our crew of grandkids eat off it! 
This card was inspired by a little 4x4 beauty in the upcoming Idea Book.  As soon as I saw it I thought of that china and had to make my own version in honor of the memory.

If you'd like to make this card, get these supplies:

Paper:  Gray Wool CS, White Daisy CS, Creme Brulee CS, Sweet Leaf (this paper is from a retired set but CS is perfect too)

Stamps:  Rosy Regards

Ink:  Creme Brulee, Sweet Leaf, Gray Wool

Other:  Art Philosophy Cartridge (scalloped square), Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Roxie Birthday Card

This is my favorite project I've made so far with Roxie.  I love the mixture of sassy prints with the vintage feel stamped tag.  I used Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the two front tags, the border and the leaves.  The rose was stamped in black and tulip and hand cut with a layer of Red Glitz brushed over top while the black pieces were glammed up with Silver Glitz.

For the sentiment tag I stamped the Cricut shape in 2nd generation Desert Sand with the matching stamp and then over-stamped with the music notes from Universal Backgrounds in 2nd generation Desert Sand again.  I like layered stamping as it gives terrific depth to a project.

Mother's Day Card with CTMH Rosy Regards, Simple Memories, You and Me

This is the Mother's Day card I'll be sending out to my Mom and my MIL this year.

The fold I used is very fun - its a 4x11" piece of Crystal Blue Cardstock that I folded in half and then folded the front back at about 2.5" from the edge which keeps the card propped open in a kind of Z fold after its removed from the standard sized envelope.  Here you can see the card folded out - the inside flap is where I'll write my message.

The journaling spot is a sneak peak at a stamp that will be featured in the upcoming May special "You and Me" scrapbooking kit - you're going to LOVE that one!  I also used the new doily stamp "Simple Memories" to give some texture to the base paper.  The Sweet Leaf circle is punched with our 2" scallop and the "I love you" comes from Tag the Occassion.

Those FABULOUS roses come from our set "Rosy Regards" which is a base and shade stamp so you can use two different inks or first and second generation ink to really give the roses lots of pop.  Here's a close up so you can see the Glitz Glitter Gel I added to each flower along with a sparkle for the center.  I'm really happy with how these cards came out and can't wait to send them out!

If you'd like to make this card, get these supplies:

Paper:  Crystal Blue CS, White Daisy CS, Sweet Leaf CS

Stamps:  Rosy Regards, Tag the Occassion, Simple Memories, Say it in Style, You and Me (upcoming May special)

Inks:  Crystal Blue, Chocolate, Desert Sand, Hollyhock, Blush

Other:  Sparkles, Glitz Glitter Gel, Hollyhock Ribbon (retired - but the Designer Pink Ribbon Rounds is a good substitute)

Valentine's Day Countdown Day #3 Blog Hop

Welcome to day #3 in our Valentine's Day Countdown Linky Party!  If you are receiving this posting via e-mail be sure to go to my blog to see the rest of the artwork posted by fellow CTMH sisters as we countdown the days to Valentine's Day!

I'm loving the new Kraft self-adhesive borders in our brand new Spring/Summer Idea Book.  You get 50 12" self adhesive borders for $5.95 (2 each of 25 different patterns/widths) to add to cards, layouts, etc.  These are absolutely brilliant and so fun to play with!  You can ink them up, cut them, fold them, use them as masks - I'm still playing with them to discover more uses!

Check out the button on this one - did you know you can use Rub-Ons on top of buttons?  I also like to use my Rub-ons for fancy pedicures.  You can put Rub-Ons and our bitty sparkles on your toes and then seal them in with a clear top coat.  Makes for a beautiful and very inexpensive pedi!

Materials Used:

Paper:  Boom-Di-Ada Creative Basics (retired), White Daisy Cardstock

Stamps:  Rosy Regards, Universal Backgrounds,  Jan. SOTM (word Love)

Inks:  Hollyhock (1st and 2nd Generation), Desert Sand, Bamboo, Hollyhock Marker
