Happy Anniversary -- More Mayberry!

Happy Anniversary!

This is my second post today, showcasing the springy-cheery-delightful "Mayberry" papers from CTMH. So please scroll down to see the "Happy Everything" card too.

I used all CTMH products except for the big honey colored flower from M*s -- it's so bright and cheerful! Have I mentioned how much fun I have creating CTMH clear acrylic cards? Just LOVE 'em!

Clear Acrylic Cards -- More Mayberry!

Happy Everything!

That's my wish for a dear cardmaking friend!

I used all CTMH materials except for the big cheerful flower from M*s. It makes me smile.

Mayberry -- Happy Birthday Card

Just a quick clear acrylic card for a special someone's birthday!

I LOVE creating with clear cards -- once you plan how to hide the inside, it's so much fun! The back is always a surprise too.

I used CTMH Mayberry papers, medium white paper flowers, summer green buttons, a dimensional element tag, pop dots, Olive ink, and an old "Happy Birthday" stamp from CTMH.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Stamp Kissing H2H Challenge

This week the Heart 2 Heart challenge has been "stamp kissing" -- a fun technique doing exactly what the name suggests! Muuuu-wah! Put those inky stamps to-getha for a smooch!

(I love the CTMH awesome, wonderful MyAcrylix stamps from Close To My Heart so much I would gladly kiss them! ... so much more fun than kissing a frog!)

To learn more about how to "kiss" with stamps, watch Tresa Black's great tutorial here. Then try it! It's fun!

After stamping the kissed stamps together, I stamped the image on cs and then cut each out. Some have foam squares behind them to add dimension.

Here's the inside sentiment:



I like to stamp the envelope too! The recipient might think "she really planned this duo!"
