Paper Hug Card with Case This Sketch #326

When I saw this week's Case This Sketch challenge I immediately thought of using an older Close to My Heart stamp set called "Swirls Around" as the background flourish.  The cricut cut oval is from the Lacy Labels cartridge and the sentiment stamp is from a retired CTMH stamp set called "True Love".



The paper color is Sugarplum and the stamps were inked with Peacock Ink.  Don't you love how great these two colors look together?  I cut an oval from white craft foam to "pop up" the oval frame.

Here is the fabulous Case This Sketch #326 that inspired my card layout:



I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
     Sparkles Forum #117--No Patterned Paper
     Aud Sentiments Challenge #229--Anything Goes & Sentiment
     Crafty Sentiments--Anything Goes

June Joyful Stars Blog Hop Floral Thinking of You Cards

Welcome back to another Joyful Stars Blog Hop! We are a group of Close to My Heart consultants who share something each month on the 9th and at 9PM EST. If you are coming from Debi Brile's blog you are on the right track. (The complete lineup is on Joyce's blog in case you get lost.) Have fun being inspired!  


I have two bright and cheery Thinking of You cards to share with you this month.  The first follows the current Freshly Made Sketch #391 using Craft On patterned paper, Floral Delivery Stamp, Carolina Card Stock, Bluebird Card Stock and Bluebird Ink.


Although you can't see it in the above photo, the floral panel was dipped in Versamark Ink and clear embossed to create a shiny surface. Here is a different view so you can see the glossy effect.


This is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:


My second card follows Case This Sketch #325 and features Pixie Card Stock, Raspberry Card Stock, Floral Delivery stamps, Raspberry Ink and Black Ink.  The frame was cut with Stitched Rectangular Frames.  The stamped flowers were fussy cut and embellished with White Enamel Dots.


This is the sketch that inspired my second card:



Now it's time to head over to Joyce Hauck's blog --I'm sure you'll be inspired by what she has to share.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
