Mothers day card using SVGCUTS' Mothers Garden

Hello Friends! I thought I'd share my Mothers Day card for my MIL I had to get in the mail today! This was so much fun! The card base svg is from Mothers Garden and SVGCUTS.com. click on link to go to kit. This is the only svg I've worked on.

The pattern did not have the fence on the inside. It looked naked under the window and just needed some flowers, or so I thought! The flowers are from a Martha Stewart set of punches from HSN last month. I cut a few extra out in yellow and blue purple that I colored with gelatos. This card is rather large, but figured with the flowers on the front I was going to need a larger padded envelope anyway! The flowers were white prima flowers that I made up a glimmer mist spray using TH distress ink in raspberry and the white perfect pearls mixed with a little water in a mister bottle! The paper was double sided and from the K&Company Que Sera Sera Paper Pad. Love that pad!

Hello bloggers!  Happy Monday! Its my day to post on Cricut Fanatics and I wanted to share my new obsession! I love making these little gift enclosure card sets with the purse and I make them for the Azle Lions Club raffle! I love to see the ladies all hoping that they get their number drawn first, because the purse and cards are always first to go! I make all kinds of colors and patterns but this one is my favorite.

The purse was cut on CCR using CTMH Artiste cart at 5.7x10.35 will hold the 3x3 cards perfectly. The doily was stamped and embossed using the CTMH Doily as well as the Celebrate. The butterfly is a MS butterfly punch. These make awesome gift enclosure cards and the little purse can also be used for a small gift or make a few for favors if you are maybe having a bridal shower?! The ladies at Lions love the little purse best! Me too!! All the card were cut at 3x6 using the rounded card on the Artiste cartridge also! Best cartridge Cricut/CTMH made, IMHO! If this cart doesn't have it, you don't need it, I always say!! LOL!

This is the same purse, cut a little bigger to hold the butterfly cards which are 3x4. CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy was used to make these. I used "hide contour" to move the butterflies where I wanted them! So I could emboss the butterfly in white on the front, the stamp also from CTMH. The paper was cut with white Colorbok paper and colored with gelatos! if you haven't tried gelatos, you are missing some fun! You can make any color you want or need!

Spring Break and "Fancy Nancy's Tea Party"

Hello friends, I'm posting today on the CricutFanatics blog today. If you haven't been to this blog, you need to check it out! lots of talent and inspiration and I'm proud to be a small part of it! They have challenges every month too!

Our awesome library has programs for the children during spring break and summer reading program. This year during spring break they had a "Fancy Nancy's Tea Party" and it was awesome! They had a professional ballerina come in and teach the girls some ballet steps for about 20 minutes and the girls were "Ecstatic"!!! to say the least! One of Fancy Nancy's favorite words I'm told. I never read the books, did you? But my granddaughter will be reading them now!! These are the first 2 pages my DGD and I worked on this weekend. And my DGD being the wonderful drama queen she is, and thats DRAMA with a capital D!, said "Nana, I can feel it!" and she had been complaining about a sore ankle from a fall at school so I asked it her ankle hurt. She places hands on chest and says "No, I can feel the love in those pages"! OMG! I about fell out of my chair! 

The pages are 8x8 and they are from a scrapbook I bought years ago on clearance because the pages were already decorated and I was just started to get into scrapbooking. Now they are perfect for this occasion. The title and the Ecstatic card were from the party. The top pic title as well as the teaparty die cut and tea set was cut using my own font and an SVG with older version of SCAL. The white doily mat was cut using one of the new WRMK mini 8 and matching border punch.The tea set looked kinda plain even though it was cut using DCWV shimmer paper. So I "stickled" them! The tea cup border was cut using Wall Decor at 1". The Tea party invite and balloons and princess was cut using "Best Friends" Imagine cart. I will post more later!! She'll be back next weekend but only for Easter, so it'll probably be in 2 weeks!

The Easter card is an A2 size card cut using CTMH Art Philosophy cart. The cross is from "Wedding" and they were embossed using Swiss Dots and a new AG Pirouette folder. Butterflies were cut using DCWV glitter paper and MS punch. And was glimmer misted with Dazzling Diamonds, of course!

Hope you enjoyed both! Happy Easter! Leave me a comment! I love to hear from you!

February CTMH Card Class

Hello Friends,
Had my CTMH card class this week!

Went over great! All of the ladies are quilters so I wanted to make a quilt card! I got my inspiration from a pinterest post which led back to the original card posted at stampinpretty.com. That link will take you directly to the card and pattern she used to make it! I used CTMH Chantilly paper and and the Colonial White paper as well as my new Anna Griffin Embossing folders. I made the card 2 ways and let them choose which way they wanted to do it! The corner quilt was embossed with a different folder on one to make it pop more. They chose the harder way because they liked the embossing folder on the base! But all of them used the AG folders. Which one would you choose?!!

The stamps used were from CTMH, the Chantilly Workshop on the Go Cardmaking Kit stampset and "For a Friend" stamp set, found here!



This card is made with the "For Always" WOTG Cardmaking Kit

I change it up a bit because the ladies love to emboss, as do I, and wanted a space big enough to accommodate that! Everything shown here is in the kit except the stamps. You can't tell it but the flags were stamped with Smoky Plum, which matches color on background. Lighting not so good!

And last but not least, this card was stamped with the Stamp of the month, which can still be purchased until the 28th!

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great week! The following is good until the 28th! Just go to my website at scrappinnanapuddin.ctmh.com! If you don't have the Cricut Artiste or Art Philosophy you should take a look at that also!
