40th Birthday Card with TGIF #290

 It's hard to believe my son will be celebrating his 40th birthday next week!  The special card I made for him uses a pale green metallic foil for the Cricut cut (Rockwell Extra Bold) numbers and background panel along with Serenity Paper, Sapphire Card Stock, Sapphire Ink, Time to Celebrate stamp and Stitched Rectangle Frame Thin Cut Dies.

Here is the fabulous TGIF sketch that inspired my card layout:

Fusion Card Challenge Meets Color Dare #394

The flourish on the Fusion Card Challenge graphic interested me so I decided to create a card with it. I used Close to My Heart Lagoon colored paper, ink and shimmer brush to also participate in the Color My Heart Color Dare Monochromatic Greens Challenge #394.  The flourish stamp is a very old wooden CTMH stamp called Poetry in Motion.  The sponge like background paper is from Adventure Fundamentals from 2017.  The sentiment stamp is from Time to Celebrate, the May Stamp of the Month.

Here is the Fusion Challenge graphic that inspired my card design:

Hole in One Congrats Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #230

A friend of mine just made a hole in one so I made her a celebratory card with the current Sunday Stamps Sketch #230.

The background paper is from an unknown source.  The sentiments were stamped with Gold Embossing Powder with Close to my Heart's May Stamp of the Month called Time to Celebrate.  The dark green paper strips are CTMH Evergreen Card Stock.   Gold Glitter Gems adorn the side strip.  The "Hole in One" sentiment is from an old CTMH stamp set called "Tee Time" and was stamped in Evergreen Ink,

Stitched Together Mother's Day Card for Case This Sketch #370

Although my mom and mother-in-law are with us in spirit I've been making Mother's Day cards to share with my sisters, daughters-in-law and mother figures in my life.  I really liked the "wonky" layers of the Case This Sketch challenge and I turned it so it could fit in the Mother's Day sentiments.

The pretty patterned paper is Stitched Together over Peach Card Stock.  The Stitched Rectangle Thin Cut Die was used.  The sentiment is the May Stamp of the Month called Time to Celebrate (only $5 with $50 purchase).  Once I cut a template for the layered pieces it was really quick to put together, so I made a few more cards.

This second card uses the flip side of the patterned paper from the first card.

My third card uses Adventure Fundamentals Paper from 2017 with Lagoon Card Stock as the base.

I would love to know which card you like best. Please share in the comments below.
