Stuck on You Card

Happy Friday!! This was inspired by the Paper Craft Crew Challenge Sketch #246.  My daughter is really into cactuses right now.  (BTW, we looked up the correct plural - just so we would know....and found either "cactuses" or "cacti" is correct...couldn't help ourselves!)  I was happy to use these great Close To My Heart Stamps along with the Thin Cuts (coordinating) and copics to color the flower.  The sketch was great because I feel like I get into a rut with card designs after awhile. :)

Hi! A Pop-up Card to Thank a Friend

Hi!  I've neglected my blog for a long time because even though I've been busily creating all this time, my iphone app I was using with Blogspot stopped working for me and I got frustrated and gave it up (if anyone has an app to recommend, I'd love to know about it).

Anyway....wanted to share this happy friendship card in the challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.  Their theme is "Friends Forever".  Love it :)  I used the Artfully Sent cartridge from Close to My Heart.  The pop-up cards are so much fun and my friends and family always love them.  I used purple because it is a dear friend's favorite color.

 Matching envelopes are a sweet finishing touch.

 The front is cute, but this card is all about the inside!

 Gotta have glitter!  Here, I used stickles to accent the middles of the flowers.
