July Joyful Stars Blog Hop with Brushed Paper and Mason Jar Bouquet

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 Betty Locco'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! 

Close to my Heart has brought pack a lovely old paper pack called Brushed and a pair of stamp sets to coordinate with them.  (These are available for a limited time only.)  I made a couple of cards using different sketches with Brushed Paper and Mason Jar Bouquet with Pixie and Candy Apple Card Stocks.

The above two cards were based on this week's Freshly Made Sketch:

This next card uses elements from the July Stamp of the Month called "For My Beautiful Friend" and the flower from a "Budding Friendship".

The above card was based on Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch:

I'm also entering the above card into

     Heart2Heart--Sunny Days

Which of these cards do you like best?

Now it's time to head over to Joyce Gough'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!

Blue Skies Paper with Inspire.Create. Sketch 71

This lovely card was made with Blue Skies patterned paper and Blue Skies Coordinating Card Stock.  Notice the glossy pattern on the yellow strips.

The sentiment is from Mason Jar Bouquet and the background colors are Pixie and Candy Apple.

My card layout was inspired by this wonderful sketch by Inspire.Create #71.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Creative Fusion--In Nature's Garden

     Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge--Anything Goes
