Cute Inspirational Card...

Today's card, I made for a friend, going through a rough patch right now. 

The card stock is all from my stash. 

The Shaker Window Foam and Acetate and Thin Cuts Shaker Window and Confetti for the thin Pink Circle trim are all from Close to my Heart.

The silver sequins are from Close to my Heart.

The adorable "Hello Baby Giraffe" digital stamp is from A Day for Daisies.

I printed the giraffe on photo paper, with my Canon Selphy Printer. 

I then colored it in using a few different Copic markers, to give it a water colored look.

I distressed each layer of cardstock with Toffee ink from Close to my Heart.

The background stamped hearts in Toffee, is from the mini heart stamp in the Dream Catcher hostess rewards stamp set from the Holiday Expressions 2018.

 I received the hostess stamp set for self hosting a party in December. 

The sentiment stamped in Toffee, "Everything Starts with a Dream" is also from the Dream Catcher stamp set. 

I entered my card into the following challenges:

A Bright and Cheerful Card

Tonight's card is going to a good friend of mine, to help her start off the new year. 

Like myself she is a direct sales consultant, who has great goals for 2019. 

I wanted to send her a little something to let her know I believe in her.

The polka dot and striped paper are both from the Close to my Heart "Oh What Fun" paper packet that just ended with the Holiday Expressions 2018 catalog. 

However, I know many of you purchased it for not only Christmas cards and layouts but for everyday use as well. 

The sentiment "Dream Big" is from the Holiday Expressions 2018 Hostess Rewards Stamp Set "Dream Catcher". 

I stamped the sentiment in Archival Black Exclusive Ink by Close to my Heart.

I used the "Blacked Out" technique, and layered each piece with black cardstock to make the colors really pop! 

For just a little flare, I added three silver glitter gems from Close to my Heart.

I was inspired by sketch #297 from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog for the layout for the card.

Bee Happy Card

Tonight, I made a quick and cute card using the Close to my Heart exclusive "Flower Market" Cricut cartridge. 

The base of the card is Black cardstock.

I used a few retired colors and some current ones for the rainbow effect, but overall with the cuts and adhering them, I was finished in less than 30 minutes.

I ended up using a tiny amount of liquid glass to adhere the pieces and just regular Tombow adhesive for the rest.

On the inside of the card, I simply distressed the edges of "White Daisy" cardstock.

I typically use my cricut cartridges for titles, overlays, and characters but there really are so many more capabilities. 

To receive the Cricut Design Space file link, just head over to my VIP Scrapbook/Stamping Facebook group, and look for the Bee Happy Card picture and link. 

You will need the "Flower Market" cartridge to be linked to your Cricut Design Space, in order to cut the file and create the card.

This cartridge is available on my Close to my Heart online store!

Not only do you receive the digital cartridge, you also receive the coordinating stamp sets, that go with many of the cuts/shapes. 

Here are a few examples of the items on the cartridge:

And this link will take you to the Shape Index, which shows you pictures of everything on the cartridge.

There are 700 images: shapes, layers, banners, borders, titles, and fonts on the cartridge!
