The new Seasonal Expressions catalog launches on September 1 and I got a sneak peek at the new products recently. I made this birthday card featuring the new Boutique Paper Pack and Your Special Day stamp set for a consultant card swap. I can't wait to see what the other consultants come up with!</div>

For this week's Color Dare challenge, I made a Thinking of You card to go along with a meal delivery for a neighbor of ours.<br />
<br />
I used the Doily Wishes stamp set to stamp in both White Daisy and Juniper ink on my Raspberry paper. For the Mink color needed, I used some burlap ribbon and a few sequins I had in my stash.<br />

I got some inspiration from a few different Pinterest boards and then tweaked it a bit for this birthday card theme.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For the swirls, I selected some wreaths from the Flower Market Cricut Cartridge and used the weld feature to make them a bit more robust. Here's the <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/design/90337710">design space file</a> if you want to recreate this yourself. Here are the supplies I used for this card:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Peacock paper from Enchantment Fundamentals (Base and stripe)</li>
<li>Mink paper from Basics Fundamentals (stripe)</li>
<li>Peacock, Lagoon and Mink cardstock for the swirls</li>
<li>A few drops of Peacock re-inker on my watercolor brush for the splatter background</li>
<li>Wise Guy birthday stamp (retired)</li>
<li>Silver sequins (retired)</li>
</ul>
<div>
This was a really fun card to make and it's off in the mail to bring smiles to the recipient. Thanks for stopping by.

I've following <a href="http://www.danyellscraps.com/2018/04/ctmh-technique-blog-hop-creative-with.html">Danielle Wagner</a> in this blog hop and am sharing a couple of birthday cards I made:<br />
<br />

<br />
This first item is a shaker card with some different leftover gems I had on hand. Did you know you can put baby powder or flour on the back of sticky gems to remove the "stickiness?" I use transparencies for the clear layer behind the Raspberry cut-out on the top part of the card.<br />
<br />

<br />
For this card, I used a couple of techniques here. I only had a small piece of this floral paper left in my stash so I cut out a small section that was going to be covered up by the PML card anyway and hand trimmed a few extra flowers to go with the corner floral border.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">For this week's Color Dare challenge, I made a birthday card for a friend of mine featuring the happy thin cut that's in our <a href="https://tammylubick.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=264">going soon</a> section of the website. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: start;">This is a fun technique for doing something a little different with your thin cuts to get the layered look here, you'll stack two different colors of paper on top of each other and make sure that the thin cut goes just past the edge of the paper. For this card, I used Bashful paper from the Gimme Some Sugar paper pack and Raspberry cardstock. It looked like this before I ran it through the Cuttlebug, notice how the edges of the thin cut are just past the paper edge:</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I forgot to get pictures of the cut paper after it went through the Cuttlebug. You'll end up with a top and bottom of each color that you cut through, for my card, I mounted the top part in Raspberry on Pebble paper from Chelsea Gardens paper pack, then mounted the Bashful paper under it so I could see where the next thin cut of "happy" should go (note, you'll want to keep the little cut out pieces from the "h" and "y" so you can layer them back on in the blank spots.)<br />
<br />
Next, stamp on the Raspberry cardstock with the small flower from the <a href="https://tammylubick.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=10456">For You Darling</a> stamp set<br />
with Raspberry ink for a tone on tone effect. Cut out "happy" from silver glitter paper then use a masking technique for the birthday stamp in Raspberry.<br />
<br />
I was on a roll so used white glitter paper for the 2nd card that has the Raspberry cardstock on the bottom and Bashful paper on the top. <br />

We have three separate birthdays to celebrate this week for my aunt, sister-in-law and husband. I've got two cards in the mail already so was happy to see the blues posted for this week's Color Dare challenge so I could use that as inspiration for my husband's birthday card.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">For this card, I used the pattern on page 53 of the Wishes book and changed up the circles to use balloons cut at 1.75", 2.25" and 2.75" from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. I stamped Happy Birthday from the Birthday Times stamp set with White Daisy and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder then sponged with Pacifica ink. Then I did a quick swipe with a baby wipe across the title to remove left over ink. Since silver was optional for this challenge, I added some with a piece cut from "All About the Gold" Fundamentals (did you know the back of the gold is silver? makes it more versatile!)</span></div>

For this month's CTMH Technique Blog Hop, we have 14 consultants sharing artwork using patterns from our latest Make It From You Heart Volumes. I'm following <a href="http://www.myflightsoffancy.com/ctmh-technique-blog-hop-purposeful-patterns">Michelle Johns</a> in the hop and am sharing a birthday card I made using pattern 3 from volume 4. These patterns are great for inspiration and you can add your own touches to add a little extra punch. In this case, I added the bits of shimmer trim for some sparkle.<br />
<br />
<br />

It works out really nice for me that this month's stamp has such fun birthday options since we have all kinds of family birthdays in March.<br />
<br />
I used pattern #11 from the latest Make It From Your Heart book, volume 4 to make a couple of different cards. I always think it's so fun to see how different the cards look just by switching up the paper and a couple of accents.<br />
<br />

<br />
I used Adventure Fundamentals paper, Basic Circles Thin Cuts and some fun embellishments for these cards. On the inside of the card, I used the big "Celebrate" stamp for the message.<br />

I am following <a href="https://centralnyscrapper.blogspot.com/2018/02/think-pink-blog-hop.html"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Brenda Lapp</span></a> and decided to create a fun birthday card for a co-worker to feature here.<br />

I used the rose embossing folder for the background and heat set with gold embossing powder. Then mounted that on top of Raspberry card stock. The sentiment is from the Notes of Inspiration stamp set inked with Raspberry and I set this off with more Raspberry card stock and gold ribbon.<br />

I'm glad you found my post for the February SOTM Blog Hop featuring fun projects by CTMH Consultants. This month's stamp is called Sunny Thoughts and we need that about now in Wisconsin where the weather has been a bit gloomy and cold lately!<br />
<br />
I am following <a href="https://michelleloncar.blogspot.com/2018/02/february-2018-stamp-of-month-sunny.html"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Michelle Loncar</span></b></a> in the hop list this month. For this card, I'm featuring a side step card using Gimme Some Sugar paper and a flower vase from the Flower Market Cricut cartridge. The card is super easy to cut, I followed these <a href="https://splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/sidestepcard">instructions</a> from the Splitcoaststampers site.<br />

I've been away from blogging for a bit, had a crazy work schedule and then when it got nice out, just HAD to spend more time outside. The CTMH convention was last week and they shared tons of ideas so I figured I should get back into my blog posts and share some of the fun products we have.<br />
<br />
For this card, I a piece of Prickly Pear paper and cut just the stripes I needed to meet the color challenge. Then I embossed a piece of White Daisy with the confetti embossing folder and put that next to the colored paper. The Uptown ribbon pack has this super versatile black and gold ribbon. For a title, I used the No Worries card making stamp set.</div>

May is National Scrapbooking Month and for this post, I am featuring a card made with the Live Beautifully paper packet for the special Color Dare challenge to use either the paper packet or the lovely colors featured. I used a piece of the floral paper and the zip strip on the card base. I don't have the coordinating stamp set so used a retired stamp that is similar and stamped on Pixie paper then layered on a piece of vellum to give it a bit more texture. The "together" title is from the May Stamp of the Month and inked with Glacier; final touch of a few clear bitty sparkles and this anniversary card is ready to go in the mail.<br />

For this week's Color Dare challenge, I made this card using some different techniques with the different colors. Start with a black and white mat from Some Kinda Wonderful paper packet. Then make a slightly smaller mat cut from White Daisy. Use the end of a pencil and Canary ink to make a random pattern. Then use a slightly larger circle stamp inked with Glacier. (Remember, you can use the smooth side of a stamp for this if you don't have the right size circle.) Then a little larger circle stamp using Juniper pigment ink and heat set with embossing powder. Cut three titles from Thistle paper using the Celebrate thin cut and layer them together, really gives it a raised look. The next photo shows that a bit better. Finish off with a few silver sequins and this card is ready to go in the mail.<br />

For this week's Color Dare challenge, I just had to break out the May Stamp of the Month called "Live, Love, Laugh" for a wedding anniversary card with these super bright and cheery colors. I stamped LOVE with Raspberry ink and cut the letters apart then substituted a heart for the "O" and matted the letters with Lemon card stock and mounted them on the Willow patterned paper. Next up, use a sponge dauber to ink with Raspberry, layer on the "together" stamp in White Daisy and heat set. </div>

You can purchase this stamp set for just $5 with a qualifying purchase on my <a href="http://tammylubick.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/promotions/sotm/2017/1705-live-laugh-love.aspx">website </a>in the month of May or visit the Color Dare site to see more artwork for this week's challenge.</div>

For this week's Color Dare challenge, I made a fun Thank You card with the Flower Market Cricut Cartridge. I haven't played with this one much so thought it would be good for this challenge. I'm happy with how it turned out and can't wait to send it off in the mail.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instructions:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>Cut a 4" planter image on Uptown Fundamentals paper using the image found on page 32 of the Flower Market Cricut Manual (cut off the bottom 2" and use it on a second card), wrap the container with slate/white twine.</li>
<li>Cut flowers on page 24 from Eggplant and Canary paper at 2.25" and 1.5" (remember the keys are linked so you cut the middles at the same size as your flowers and they fit perfectly!)</li>
<li>Apply Liquid Glass to the flower middles (that way, you can stay true to the color challenge)</li>
<li>Cut "thanks" from a Thincut and White Glitter paper</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

For this week's CAS(e) This Sketch challenge, I turned it upside down and made a birthday card for our son. I can't believe he's turning 25, it really doesn't feel like it! Where did the time go? Anyway, back to the card, I used supplies from Close To My Heart:</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Artiste Cricut Cartridge - balloon image found on page 70 cut at 1.5" from five different papers including white glitter paper for a bit of sparkle</li>
<li>I used a black marker to draw the balloon strings</li>
<li>The title was cut at 1.5" three times and layered together before mounting on the card.</li>
</ul>

My mom's birthday is coming up so I decided to use vellum on her card for this blog hop. I started with a White Daisy card and stamped balloons with Raspberry, Sea Glass and Tangerine inks using the C1660 - Happy For You stamp set. Then I stamped the outline balloons on vellum with White Daisy and embossed with white powder and heat set that. I stamped the Happy Birthday title with White Daisy ink and heat set with white embossing powder. Final step was to layer on a couple of strips of Sugar Rush paper to adhere the vellum to the card base.<br />

We are in prime time birthday season for my family and this week is no exception so I used this week's Color Dare challenge colors for this masculine birthday card. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To make this card, I broke out my watercolor paints and used a splatter technique to cover the whole card with Willow and Peacock colors. Then I did a basic wash with Willow watercolor on the left side of the card. For the Peacock layer on the bottom, I used a sponge dauber with Peacock ink.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the title, I stamped the "One in a Million" phrase on White Daisy and layered that on Peacock paper. Next up was to cut a few circles out of Peacock paper and apply a few white sequins. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, I'm real happy with the results, it's fun to use different techniques on cards. Thanks for stopping by, check out the other Color Dare entries at the link below.</div>

A friend of mine has a birthday coming up this weekend so I made her a card with the fun color combination in this week's Color Dare challenge. I think it turned out super cute and can't wait to give it to her.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Instructions:</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cut a piece of Thistle pattern paper at 5.25" x 4" for the background. I used a piece of retired paper from the Penelope paper packet that I had on hand.</li>
<li>Cut two pieces of White Daisy at 5" x 3.75"</li>
<li>Cut out the "happy" thin cut at an angle and outline the letters with a Thistle marker. Stamp "Birthday" on the bottom right with Lagoon ink. I used a stamp from the Birthday Sparkles occasions stamp set.</li>
<li>Sponge the 2nd piece of White Daisy with Lagoon, Tangerine & Thistle inks then apply Versamark ink over the whole sheet and sprinkle with clear embossing powder. (See the picture below, it's hard to tell in the photo but it's really nice and shiny!)</li>
<li>Mount the layers on the card and add a few clear bitty sparkles for a bit more bling.</li>

A co-worker of mine has a birthday tomorrow so I used this week's ColorDare colors on his card. I started with a 5.5" square card then mounted a 5.25" square of Emerald Fundamentals paper. For the top layer, I cut a 5" square of White Daisy and mounted a "Happy" Thin Cut on with repositionable glue then used a cotton swab to dab on the Pacifica and Emerald ink dots. Peel off the Thin Cut and add the rest of the title elements. I added a black arrow for a pop of color (and to make sure I had all the colors for the challenge.)</div>

For this week's Color Dare challenge, we get to pick any shades of green to use along with gold and white so I made this card for my mother-in-law for St. Patrick's Day. I used the Sweet Leaf paper from the Whimsy Fundamentals pack as the background then layered on the gold stripes from the All About the Gold Fundamentals paper pack. Next, I broke out the Flower Market Cricut Cartridge and cut out the fun cloverleaf from some New England Ivy green paper and the Lucky title that I layered on gold glitter paper. Final accent is a green gem along with a stamped sentiment inside and I've got a card ready to go in the mail this week.<br />

To make this card, I started with a watercolor splatter on the edges of the front panel. Then I cut a piece of White Daisy cardstock to 3.75" x 5" and embossed it with the Simple Chevron embossing folder. Layer that with a .5" strip from the Whimsy Fundamentals collection and a row of seam binding ribbon below that. Cut a 3" circle from the watercolor paper and ink with White Daisy; heat emboss. Double stamp the flower using Fern and Sorbet inks, fussy cut the pieces out and layer them on the edge of the card. Use bitty sparkles for embellishment.<br />
<br />
I'll be using this as a birthday card so I used the masking technique for the inside greeting and a combination of stamps from this month's set as well as Wise Guy birthday.<br />
