Use Your Stash October Blog Hop

Thank you for hopping over here from Marilee's blog! This is my creation for this month's blog hop challenge. I am loving that I had some of our retired "Baker's Twine" to set off the retired cocoa button for this card I created from our Sangria paper line. Note the two new cardstock colors for the floral: poppy and fern. Dressed it up don't ya think? *See products used below. Thanks for looking!

Thinking of You Card

I love this sentiment from one of our new stamp sets, So Many Smiles #C1619.  The bright red used for layering is a new color "Poppy"! "Thinking of You" cards are the best to send. Imagine when you are the receiver of such a sentiment and read the note that someone places importance on your relationship with them. I bet you know someone who would love to know that YOU are Thinking of Them! Try this one out. Love the mini envelope cut from our Artistry Cricut cartridge.

You are Fabulous

This card is created from the Sangria paper packet and the "So Many Smiles" stamp set. I love them both. Who do you know that's fabulous?! They might love to receive a card noting their fabulous ways!  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the circles and the scallops. Just enough bling! Let me know if you have any questions.
