I came across an old sketch from The Paper Players on my Pinterest board. The oval shape inspired me to create this next card.
Recipe:
Paper: Hopscotch, Smoothie CS, Flaxen CS, Sunset CS, Glacier CS, Colonial White CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Choose Happy, Typed Note (CTMH)
Inks: Lagoon (pigment), Smoothie (pigment), VersaMark (CTMH)
Tools: Craft Heater, Craft Tray, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, White Embossing Powder, Micro-Tip Scissors, Paper-Piercer, Scallop Embossing Folder (CTMH)
Other: Lagoon Washi Tape (retired) (CTMH), Flaxen brads (Hobby Lobby)
I love when I find coordinating embellishments hidden in my stash. I probably wouldn't have used those brads for a while, but realized that they were almost an exact match for our flaxen paper. Yay! P.S. I love brads. I miss brads.
I am feeling accomplished, this morning. I've already balanced my checkbook and paid some bills, and have 4 things checked off my to-do list. Go me! ;)
Have a great day!

I normally don't get Father's Day cards done this far in advance, but these stamp sets were calling my name, and I knew they would work well for this card.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a fabulous day.

I most often reach for "thinking of you" cards. And another mission I am on lately is to try and use up some scraps of papers that have been long ago retired. I paired the orange and pink paper with the beautiful distressed green paper from the Seaside kit.
Recipe:
Paper: Seaside, Daydream (retired), White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Have A Happy Day, Choose Happy (CTMH)
Inks: Hollyhock (pigment), Black (CTMH)
Tools: Craft Heater, Craft Tray, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Shinhan Alcohol Markers, Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Junebug Puffie Sticker (CTMH), White Brads (Hobby Lobby)
I found a sketch from The Challenge, but that particular sketch challenge is now over. However, it provided the inspiration for this card.
Have you heard about Close To My Heart's stamp of the month program? If you spend $50.00 or more in select product, you will qualify to receive that month's stamp (of the month) for just $5.00. It's valued at $17.95. I love a good deal. You can read more about it here: http://scrappinbliss.ctmh.com/
I hope you have a happy CRAFTY day today.
