Balloon Ride Card

These cards are also quick cards. 
 The papers are the same, just reversed.


The stamp set used is one of three stamps sets that
 come with the CTMH Artiste Cricut Collection.


The Balloon Ride papers are so fun to work with.

HAPPY CREATING!

FATHER'S DAY CARD

Father's Day is right around the corner.  I have a husband, a son, a son-in-law, brothers and brothers-in-laws that are awesome fathers.  This will be a hard time this year as it is my first year without my father, but I have great memories.

Here is the card we made for Father's Day. 
 It is a Gate Fold card that opens in the middle.  Since my guys are all car crazy, I decided to use CTMH's  Maximum Power
 ( D1564) Stamp Set. I stamped the truck and car images on a separate piece of paper, colored the images with Alcohol Markers, cut out the images and adhering the truck to one side of the front only, and the cars to the inside of the card.  


Just click on the pictures to view larger.



The Happy Father's Day came from the
 CTMH stamp set You're the Best (C1571)


The tire marks were stamped directly on the paper.

HAPPY CREATING!

BALLOON RIDE MULTI FOLD CARDS

Here are two of the Specialty Fold Cards
 from May's Creative Card Class.  We used the Balloon Ride Paper Packet (X7180B)



This card is called a Pop Up card. 
 It is very easy to make.  I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut out the flower and Girls Rock (C1538) Stamp Set.


The great thing about this card is it lays flat for shipping.




Give a Lift Stamp Set (D1581)

This card is simply a 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" piece of CS folded to create a 4 1/2" sq. card base.  Just stamp 1/3 of the stamp on the folded card base.  Stamp the balloon on another piece of scrap, then cut it out and adhere to the card base lining up the images as shown.  I used water color pencils to color in the images, cut out the clouds and stamped the sentiment.  Fast and Simple!

HAPPY CREATING!
