Thinking of you - Enjoy the Ride

Hello! I am a bit late in posting this one, not sure how I missed it! I created this card using the AHSC #580 and I used the CTMH paper Enjoy the Ride offered through Stampin' Up! The flowers were stamped using the Enjoy the Ride Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cut set also from CTMH but sold through Stampin' Up! I used all CTMH colours on the card, which features Rosy, Pumpkin, Honey Butter, Bluebird, Jade and Sweet Leaf.

Thinking of You - Hillside Cottage - AHSC 579

Hello, Happy Monday! Today's card for AHSC is from the retired CTMH Hillside Cottage collection. This collection seemed a perfect fit for this patchwork type of card. I combined it with the Flowers of Beauty stamp and die cuts from Stampin Up. I used Canary, New England Ivy, Flamingo, and Blue Belle from CTMH for the stamped images.

Your in my Thoughts - AHSC #576

Wow, we are in May already, January and February seemed so long but since then time seems to be flying and boom, we are in May! I have the first of the May sketches for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for you today. Since the closure of Close to My Heart, I am working on a bit of stash busting so I pulled out the Hillside Cottage papers to pair with my new Flowers of Beauty stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I have decided to take the leap of faith and join Stampin' Up!, they gave us an incredible offer to join and have been so good to us. It still feels so unreal to me, a definite loss but I am excited about what the future with Stampin' Up! looks like. The ink colours I chose are all now retired CTMH colours of Blue Belle, Canary, Espresso, and New England Ivy.
