Hello Card!

Hello, friends! Today I'm sharing a hello card for this week's The Paper Players Challenge.  I went down the left hand column (flowers, die cut and lavender).  Also sharing at Inspired By Challenge. I was inspired by the gingham patterns.  









For my card, I used vellum for the leaves, and to my surprise, I like it!  It looks much better in person though.  I've been making a bunch of hello cards for the Creative Kindness Foundation through scrapbook.com., and this one will also be going in the mail this week.

Supplies:
Paper: All from my stash
Accessories: Hello sentiment cut with my Cricut Maker; Flower Focal Die (Waffle Flower); Blue Prints 20 Die-Namics (MFT); Vellum Paper (Recollections)

IB191 ... Thanksgiving Card

Hello!  Popping in with a quick card today.  I came across this fun theme over at Inspired by Challenge.
I was inspired by the cute bear peaking through the pretty flowers.






I don't have any bear stamps in my stash, so I took out my Cricut Maker and cut out a cute bear and a pilgrim's hat. The patterned paper already had some pretty fall flowers, but I added two more.   

Supplies:
Paper: Orchard Harvest (Creative Imaginations)
Stamp: Year Round Messages (Hero Arts)
Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)
Accessories: Nesting Rectangle Dies (Hero Arts), Cricut Maker, Sequins (Michaels)


Many thanks for visiting my blog today,
