Falling for You cards and layout

It has been a while since I posted any artwork! My apologies if you have been kept waiting! This is my second post today. Scroll down to see the specials. You won't want to miss them!

These cards were done for a swap with some fellow CTMH consultants. The paper pack I chose was Falling For You from the Holiday Expressions catalog.

This first card uses You Are Here and Flower Market Cricut cartridges. Falling for You paper packet X7223B and Coordinating Cardstock X7223D. Sentiment is from the Falling For You-Cardmaking C1686. New Charcoal Ink Z2831 and Bronze sequins Z4029.

This second card uses the same papers along with Hunting for Words B1571 from the Annual Inspirations Catalog, Pebble Ink Z2833, Espresso Ink Z2829, Basic Tags Thin Cuts Z3344 and White and Bronze Twine Z4030.

And finally, the same papers, sequins and twine are used here with the Falling for You Cardmaking Stamp and Thin Cuts Z4041. The inks used were Espresso Z2829, Fern Z2850 and Goldrush Z2823.

Hope you enjoyed some artwork. Please shop with me at the link on the right if you are interested in any products or want to host a gathering to earn free products!

Happy stamping and scrapping!

Here For You and Some Kinda Wonderful

I am playing today! This card is inspired by Amy Sheffer of PapertreyInk and Freshly Made Sketches #273. I used papers from Some Kinda Wonderful and the stamp sets Sending Smiles and Here For You. The flowers were stamped using Raspberry Ink first and second generation. The leaves were done the same way using Willow Ink. I also used the stitching guide to pierce holes for the zigzag stitching and use White DMC floss.

Please shop with me with the link at the right  if any of these items interest you! Thanks for stopping by!

All supplies are from Close To My Heart unless otherwise noted.

Some Kinda Wonderful Cards

Here are three cards that I made recently for a card swap with three fellow CTMH Consultants.

This first card was inspired by Vicki Wizniuk. I made very few changes. The sentiment is from CTMH Thin Cuts dies, as is the heart. I used Whisper, Raspberry and Willow card stock on a White Daisy base. I also used the Black dots.

This second card uses a Cricut image from the CTMH Flower Market cartridge and White dots to accessorize.

And finally, this third card has random stamping on Glacier card stock using the Some Kinda Wonderful-Scrapbooking (D1716) circle and the journal stamp with Glacier Ink. The sentiment is from This & That (C1667) using Whisper Ink and Raspberry Ink. It too, is accessorized with White dots and White Twine.

I hope you enjoyed these cards. Please shop with me at the link at the right if you are interested in any of these items.

I hope to return soon to show you the amazing cards I received in the swap!
Happy paper crafting!
