Mojo Monday Birthday Card

Today was a busy day.

I taught a card class this morning and then we had lunch together.  I always follow that with a stop at one of my favorite stores.

Then, once home, there are things to put away 

before I have time to "play". 

Mojo Monday Sketch #515 gave me the framework for the fun birthday card I made using a cute image from Whimsey Stamps called Cupcake Treat, which I colored with colored pencils.

Joyful Stars Close to My Heart May Blog Hop

Welcome to the May

Close to My Heart Joyful Stars Blog Hop.

 

Have some fun hopping between the blogs of this group of talented Close to My Heart consultants, and me, where we share creative projects using CTMH products.

The new catalog is out so I'm sure you'll be seeing lots of new products.

 This past Saturday I attended Joyce Houck's annual Spring Fling, a fun get together where Joyce introduces some of the new items in the catalog.  This is one of the cards we made.  The yellow flower and green leaves and stems were already die cut for us.  We simply stamped and colored them.  Then, one by one, we cut an opening in the front of our cards using the same dies.  Then we glued the flower to the inside of the card.

I saved the pieces that I removed from the card front, stamped them and tucked them away to make this card.

The papers I've used are from the True Love and the Sweet Girl Paper Packs.  The flower Stamp Set and matching Thin Cuts are called Floral Delivery.

If you'd like to see the other cards we made at the Spring Fling, 

just click here.

Now, since this is a blog hop,

you might have arrived here from  Marie Flayer's blog.

Your next stop is Andrea Sherman's blog.

The hop is circular.

If you are just starting here,

simply continue hopping until you find your way back,

making the full circle.

Tea-rrific Card

These coffee/tea cards are addictive.  It must be the caffeine!  I am trying to prep for a class on Monday and had one lonely strip of double sided paper leftover.  Not any more!

The tea pot die cut is from IO; the sentiment stamp is CTMH.

One Layer Father's Day Card

Time to start working on some Father's Day cards.

This will go right on the pile to SAS4K.

Thought I'd make this a one layer card on a kraft card base.

 The image stamp is from Rubbernecker's.
The sentiment is CTMH.

Mother's Day tea cups

This coming Sunday is Mother's Day.  Last week I mailed off all the Mother's Day cards I had made to SAS4K.  This set of cards will be set aside for next year.  

 I have absolutely no clue where I got the tea cup stamp. 

I stamped it on 3 colors of cs, fussy cut the cups, and stacked them.    The sentiment is definitely a CTMH stamp.

The papers are from Stampin Up.

(I received several comments on the background paper on yesterday's card.  

It was part of this same paper pack.)
