May Joyful Stars blog hop

Welcome to the :
We are so happy you could join us in our monthly blog hop. 
You will be able to hop from one blog to the next and get inspired by other Close to My Heart consultants.  I have a  list of bloggers at the bottom of this post where you can see the rotation, in case you get lost.  Enjoy all the wonderful ideas you will find in this hop.

I chose to share with you  this month a cascading heart card. I made this card for my Mother, I hope she likes it. Happy Mother's Day MOM!
I used Blossom paper from Seasonal Expressions book.

This could be a great happy birthday card or valentine's day card.

 I had so much fun making the above card, I decided to make a card for my Grand-daughter's 11th birthday. I used Confetti wishes compliments. 




If you want  measurements I posted them below or I would be glad to have a class to show you how.

Hop over to Betty's blog and check out what she has been up to.  Happy Mother's Day!

April blog hop 2015

Welcome to Joyful stars monthly blog hop!  Enjoy the hop as you go from blog to blog, viewing the artwork of our very talented group of crafters.  Look for the name of the next person to hop to at the bottom of the post. 


Here is a chick I made using the Cricut and the cuddle bug machine.  This is a circle card with the hinge at the top.  We made this card at above and beyond club.  
New from Expressions 2 mini catalog!!!   I want to share with you our new Blossom paper and a new card that is called Easel Gate fold card.  This card will impress anyone who is lucky enough to receive it.  The card opens up with a center fold, then you see the inside with the Happy Birthday greetings and then you lift that piece up and place it against the flower and it stands up to say "have a lovely day"
Easel Gate Fold Card

I used the zip strip on the bottom and the narrow washi tape on the top.
