Siimple Pleasures & Cherry-O Card

I'm always trying to use up some of my stash of old papers, and I was probably successful in using a whole 12x12 sheet for this card, so it doesn't look like I'll run out any time soon.  I used the CTMH retired "Simple Pleasures" for the brown and blue papers, and "Cherry-O" to make the Tim Holtz rose.  The ribbon is CTMH, the punch is from EK Success, and the sentiment is from CTMH's "Fringed Phrases" set.

Jess's 22nd Bday - Mixing Paper Packs

I made this busy LO with pics from Jess's 22nd Bday.  I used three different CTMH paper packs (Cherry-O, Sweetheart, and Daydream) to make this playful, girlie look. 

White mats around the pages and photos tie it all together.  The banner was made with CTMH's "Pennant Alphabet" stamps, and "November 10" was made with the the "Vintage Type" stamps, which punch out perfectly with a 1/2" circle punch.  The numbers "22" on the flower are CTMH Dimensional Elements Numbers.  I used flowers, pearls, rhinestones, pins, and tabs for embellishments.  EK Success edge punches were used for the scalloped and birthday candle borders.

Mostly more of the same materials.  "Celebrate" is from a set of CTMH Irresistibles, covered in coordinating ink.  The two hearts toward the bottom center were punched, then I crinkled the all the edges up.  The long strip of pearl embellishments is from Recollections.

Mojo Monday Challenge 222 with Cherry-O

I played along with the Mojo Monday sketch challenge today.  Here's the sketch I started with:

All the materials on my card are from CTMH, except for the mini blue flowers, which are from Recollections.  The paper is from the CTMH paper pack "Cherry-O" and the stamps are "Zoology" (ticket) and "Card Chatter - Birthday" (sentiment).

The inside of the card reads:  "I'm just extending the Celebration!"

Good Luck Gaming Card

I had to pair this Art Impressions slot machine stamp with CTMH's Cherry-O paper.  I also added the Tulip cs embossed on my Cuttlebug with the Bingo folder.  I added lots of bling to the slot machine and a tag with "Good Luck" from the "For Every Occasion" CTMH stamp set.

Girl Cards with Be Yourself and Just Because

This card is Tulip, White, and Black.  I embossed the background with my Cuttlebug and sanded it to show the white core of CTMH's cardstock. The stamped images are from CTMH's "Be Yourself" stamp set.  I stamped the girl once in black and then again in Tulip.  I cut out the tulip dress and glued it over the black image.  The flower is a "Tim Holtz rose," although I used a different six-petal flower punch I had on hand.  The flower sticks out from the card a long ways, so this card will have to be presented by hand without an envelope, or included in a gift bag or box.

I love using CTMH's "Just Blooms" flowers and cutting them up to make skirts.  I paperpieced this image just like the one above, and I used CTMH's "Cherry-O" paper for the mat.  The image is from the stamp set "Just Because."
