May Blog hop

Welcome to May Joyful Stars Blog Hop!

Happy Mother's Day!

This month we have a new catalog to share with you and that means new stamps and accessories.  

To do the hop, simply look for the Highlighted name at the bottom of each post and keep hopping until you get back here.  

I wanted to share with you my favorites. First up is the Hello Lady bug B1703 on page 44 of the 
May - June catalog. To cut the Ladybug you can get the Ladybug Shaker Window Thin Cuts Z3710. 
I made mine without the shaker. The wings are using the Blue skies cardstock on page 42.
Notice the shine, the paper has a glossy UV coated pattern.  The dots were stamped and colored with the black shimmer brush.  







Second card was made with the Pinwheel Thin cuts CC5204. I used a coffee stirrer for the stem. I used the mix-in paper from last catalog and the diamond paper from Stitched Together X7257S.

The words are from the stamp of the month Time to Celebrate S2005




This pin wheel is using paper from Stitched Together.  and the Stamp of the month.  



This card was made for my dear mother using another favorite A Million Little Things D1925.
I also used May Stamp of the month.  


Here is a close up of the layered flower.  
Hope everyone has a great mother's day!

Happy Easter!


Welcome to our monthly Joyful Stars blog hop!




Every month on the 10th we share with you what we have been working on. You can hop from blog to blog and get tons of inspiration from these very talented ladies.   Simply look for the highlighted name at the bottom of the post and click on it, you will hop to the next blog. Keep hopping until you get back here.


This month I decided to go with the Easter theme, since Easter is on Sunday.  I used our new bunny stamp set A1246 and the stitched circle and rectangle frame.....notice the color of the paper.  This our new holographic paper Dreamy or Oasis. Dreamy is the one I used on this card. Z3635  Oasis Z3636. You won't see this in our current catalog, but it is available. It's always fun to shimmer brush the bow.

Jan 2020 joyful Stars Blog hop

Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2020 Joyful Stars Blog Hop!

We hope this new year will bring your many blessings and creative moments.  This hop is circular, so look for the highlighed name at the bottom of each post and hop to the next person until you get back here.  


What I would like to share this month is the birthday card I made for my wonderful Mother who is going to be 96 on Friday.  I have been so blessed to have such a great MOM.

I used new products from the Jan/Feb CTMH catalog.  Bird stamp set from Spruced Up, card making Z3633 (with thin cuts), new shimmer brushes, raspberry and lagoon.  I also used the Feb stamp of the month, the flower bouquet was just perfect. All the flowers were colored with shimmer brushes. This is a 5x7 card.





This card features our NEW thin cut scallop circle Z3639 and once again the Spruced up cardmaking set Z3633
 I used fern cardstock and the triangle was a 3" square cut in half.  The pine cones were stamped on toffee cs and stamped with espresso, they look so much better in person.



Now it's time to hop to my friend, Betty's blog and see what she has created.
