Art Philosophy Cricut Flower

Here's another CAS (clean and simple) card. 


Use your imagination here ... the card base is colonial white (the colors aren't so true here with harsh indoor lighting and the phone camera).


A dear friend is having a knee replacement surgery and I'm going to tuck this little card into a "pamper yourself" goodie bag for her hospital stay.


I'm enjoying using the AP cartridge and learning how to make a variety of flowers and other pretty embellishments! If you haven't gotten yours yet, check it out in the Spring/Summer Idea Book on my site: http://janeellinghaas.ctmh.com  or just click HERE for the shopping page link. 


I used CTMH products:  Miracle Kit papers; Garden Green ribbon; Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to make the rose; Opaque Pearl; Sweet Leaf and Crystal Blue inks; Liquid Glass


Other: Verve stamped sentiment


I'm glad you stopped by!

A Miracle Birthday

A very special lady will be celebrating her 95th birthday soon, God willing. Alma was my long-time alto-singing friend in our church choir, and though we don't sing side by side now, I'm always so happy to see her at church events and around town. She's a ball of energy and always has good news to share! Flowers and butterflies are two of her favorite things in God's creation.  And she'll be the first to tell anyone that she wakes up saying, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!" She's just full of rejoicing!

My card recipe -- CTMH products:

Miracle papers
Stamps: Celebrate Life; From Me to You
Inks: Sweet Leaf; Olive; Crystal Blue
Miracle kit Irresistable Die Cut Flower
Foam squares

I stamped the butterfly in Crystal Blue, then I stamp-rolled its edges in Olive.
(Some days I just don't trust myself with the X-acto knife, so I didn't cut the space between the antennas--it would look better if I had!)

Other: Green sparkles; sheer ribbon; Verve Scripture stamp

So glad you stopped by! I hope I've inspired you even a teeny tiny bit! Blessings!

Miracle Paper Projects

Today I played with the Close To My Heart clear acrylic scalloped card base and use the Miracle Kit papers to create a card for a friend

who recently retired after a long career as a teacher.

I love the see-through effect!

I used the "recipe" for the card that came in the Summer Keynotes.

When closed, the "Best Wishes" stamped sentiment paper strip

hides the inside sentiment I handwrote

on the inside using Cocoa ink.

For the two-page layout, I used the Celebrate recipe in the Miracle Kit.

The left page will hold a 5 x 7 inch photo

matted on the 8 x 8 inch crystal blue section.

The right page will hold two 4 x 6 inch vertical photos side by side

and journaling on the far right between the embellishments.

I plan to place photos of our daughter and son-in-law

from their recent wedding anniversary date into this layout.

Happy Anniversary, Emily & Christopher!

Baby Gift Tags

Two precious baby girls were recently born into our extended family--thank You, God!

I wrapped some practical baby bath gifts in receiving blankets and topped each with a hand stamped tag using the Flower Child and Miracle stamp sets (a verse is stamped on the back of each tag). CTMH sheer Spring ribbon and a tiny pink safety pin helped attach the tags to the gifts.

Welcome to the big world, little cousins!
