Christmas Cheer
Previously, I had only owned one Christmas set and I didn't want to keep making the same card, so I didn't participate with the Merry Monday challenge created by Lesley. Alas, now that the new catty is out (and I've had a sneak peek at the Holiday catalogue coming out in August) I know that I will have a surplus of holiday cheer to choose from :)
Here's this week's Merry Monday sketch.
I also played along with Freshly Made Sketches to make this pretty little birthday card for my sister-in-law who turns 30 today. I LOVE the Stippled Blossoms set SO much. I knew it was pretty... but I didn't know how pretty it was until I actually used it. For this one, I used Primrose Petals on the bottom layer of the flower and Raspberry Ripple on the top. For the leaves I used Lucky Limeade on the bottom and Gumball Green on the top.
Birthday Wishes
Here's the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.
I have some cute Father's Day cards to share as well, but I'll wait for tomorrow for those :)
Edit to add: So excited that my SIL's birthday card got a "Perfect Princess" nod at the Freshly Made Sketches - Thank you! :)
Two wonderful cards! I adore the Christmas one made from the Cheers set! Love everything about it! And your flower on the birthday card is gorgeous! Such a wow factor!
