Artfully Sent Flower Cards

I found this pretty template on the Artfully Sent CTMH Cricut cartridge and thought I would experiment with a few cards. 

The stamped saying is from Stamp A Mania.

The first one I did not add any Stickles too and I put it on a red glitter card. 

The next one I inserted some red Stickles onto the flower cut outs to give it a bit of sparkle and placed it on a white card base.

 

The next one I inserted silver Stickles onto the flower cut outs.

 

 

Embossed Tree cards

Today I wanted to share with you some cards that I made with my Darice embossing tree folder.  I have cut out the deer and rabbit with the Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge and the coordinating "thank you" banner from the Art Philosophy cartridge.

I used my newly purchased bristle brushes to ink the trees in the same green as the backing paper and background of the banner.  I like the brushes better than the sponge daubers for projects like this. 

I experimented with different paper to cut the deer and rabbits out - first trying plain paper ....

Then trying to patterned paper.....  I think I like the patterned paper the best.  What do you think?  I wish I had a Happy Autumn stamp but don't.  So for the inside - I think I will write "You are DEER to me!".

Wasn't sure about the position of the banner either - so I tried different positions. Let me know which position you like best if you could.  I think I like the first card's position of the banner the best.

I'm also working on another card - it's not complete yet as I didn't make the branches long enough but wanted to show you the progress before it is completed just for fun.  I like the way it's coming together - what do you think?  Everything was cut from the Cricut machine.  And I stamped the background with leaves and different colors to give it that Autumn look.  Still experimenting with it though. 

Please leave me comments as to suggestions and what you like - I love reading your comments and they make my day bright and sunny!  Again, thanks for visiting and have a great day.

Thinking of You cards

Today I wanted to share with you some Thinking of You cards that I made with the Cricut and CTMH Horray Bouquet stamping set. 

The background with the "Thinking of You" and butterfly was cut from the CTMH Artfully Sent cartridge.  I cut multiple size butterflies to give it some pizzazz! 

Hope you like them - they were fun to make and I'm thinking there are so many more possibilities out there for this template. 

I wanted to try the background in a color so here is what I came up with:

This last one I created with some fancy paper and cut some extra butterflies in different sizes.  I think I like this one the best.  Which card do you like the most?
