So I needed to make something for my very first blog hop! The CTMH (Close To My Heart) Obsessed Scrappers blog hop included the challenge to select a sketch from one of two sites & use it as the inspiration. I chose sketch #95.
There are several cards I need to make, but I didn’t want it to be a card for someone who might see it o [...]
The card base was from DCWV Chateau Lavender Stack. The green die cut was made with the Anna Griffin Cuttlebug Flower Bramble die. The sentiment embellishment was cut with the Cricut Explore, Anna Griffin Summer Soirees cartridge & stamped with an Anna Griffin stamp using white ink.

This card took two or three pages (I forget) of Close To My Heart Skylark paper. It’s not one of my favorites, but I had a few of them & since I thought my sister may like it, I didn’t mind using the two (or three, I forget) sheets necessary to make this card. I do think it turned out quite nice.
I also used two [...]
I like these as small gifts. Something you can give someone & they won’t feel obligated to give something in return. Plus, it’s something if they don’t like, they can always re-gift it.
This is the most recent one. The flower on the front is the first rolled/quilled flower, I’ve done. They look a bit complicate [...]
