I'm Liking Lucy!

The Lucy paper packet and the Lucy Complements Glittery Rub-Ons are new items in the Close To My Heart Spring/Summer Idea Book. The Lucy colors include Blush, Creme Brulee, Sweet Leaf, and Grey Wool.

I used two rub-on florals on the front of the clear card (inside the Cricut-cut medallion frame in Hollyhock) and one on the inside of the card on top of the diamond-patterned paper.

The Sweet Leaf butterfly is a die cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. The Hollyhock paper butterfly is a M-S punch.  The small printed butterflies are CTMH's Flutter Paper Shapes.  Small glue dots and CTMH Bonding Memories help to adhere all the parts of this card.

The stamp "Our Love" is from an older stamp set, Celebrate Life. I used Hollyhock ink.

Clear cards are clearly my favorites when I'm in the cardmaking zone!

Olivia Card

The colors in the Olivia paper packet are so rich--barn reds, golds, greens, and oranges! It makes me like Autumn just a little bit better than I usually do!

Clear cards are fun to make--it just takes a little bit of planning to place the paper sections so that the adhesive doesn't show, and so that the inside sentiment is a surprise when the card is opened.  Even the back of the card is pretty with the double-sided peachy-colored leaf paper pattern showing through the acrylic.

With the recent rains and wind this week, our leaves are falling fast. The deck will need the leaf blower's magic when everything dries. For now, it's so nice to have the leaf dust settled. My nose appreciates that.

Happy weekend, and thanks for stopping by and leaving some love! If you haven't used clear card bases AND the new CTMH papers, what are you waiting for?
