Thank You Card Using Art by Miran Calla and Anna Griffin dies

Hello friends!  We finally have sunshine today in Southern CA.  Imagine That! LOL!  I feel really bad for the areas that were hit with mud slides and flooding. Many deaths reported in other parts of CA and lots of loss for homeowners.  

It is time for another Art by Miran Anything Goes Facebook Challenge; with an option of using a Thank you card.  I am using the adorable Art by Miran Calla. I created a Thank you card; so this digi seemed perfect for that.  

I used two of my Anna Griffin dies; which have been hiding in their original packaging; inside my CTMH container; as I had no place to keep them where I could see or access them easily. 

I just purchased two of the awesome Anna Griffin Die Storage binders. They are incredible. They are so easy to access and now I can see my dies when I need to flip through them.  I filled two of these binders; except for a few pages to allow for my Wishful Thinking auto ship dies.   The "Thank you" is part of the Wishful Thinking word dies that come with border embossing folders; so you can emboss your words if you want to; which I did.

Grateful Card Using Anna Griffin Flip cards kit

Hello friends!  How is everyone doing?  I hope you have had a great start to the New Year!  You may not know this about me; but I am a variety person.  I love buffets, many different crafting suppliers, etc.  Most of all, I love CTMH as my main supplier for most of my crafts.  But, I still have to have those quick card kits; especially Anna Griffin.  I love her products and especially her Cricut Cartridges.  

I am a collector.  I collect so many things in the crafting world.  My biggest one is patterned papers and printed cardstock.  I also love digis and own almost 20,000 of them. Can you believe that?  I use as many as I can; but I will probably never use all of them that I have bought over the past 5 years.   I try to support my favorite artists; which is why I buy so many.  But, I do love creating cards that I don't have to color once in a while.

I created this Anna Griffin flip card for my sister, Becky a few weeks ago.  It still takes me longer than most people to decide what I want to use and how I want to put it together. Quick and easy for me is an hour or two; rather than a few days. LOL! Even one of these quick cards has taken me as much as 3 days; with the thinking process, etc.   Especially if I don't really know the person I am sending it to.  It is harder to make a card for someone you aren't familiar with.  Right?




Inside card
These flip cards are like triple folded; so it is hard to take a picture of them.

Dies
Card base, flowers and butterflies - Anna Griffin Flip Card Kit
Sentiment dies and sentiments - Anna Griffin Flip Card Kit

Sticker flowers and butterflies - Hot Off The Press Dazzles

Sympathy card Using CTMH Hello Lovely Paper

Hello friends!  It is still raining here in Southern CA.  Can you believe it?  I think we might get out of the drought; if we aren't already.   I know some of our lakes were completely dry for several years.  So sad.  I hope they are filling back up by now.  

I decided I needed to create with Imagine That Digis by Kris; so I decided to create a Sympathy card.  I never seem to have them when I need them.  I need to get several made.  I love the digis that Kris creates; especially the colored ones.  I don't always feel like coloring and she has colored digis in most of her digi sets.  

I chose to use Pretty Petunias; which has 22 images in one digi set.  I love this image and have used the one in the frame previously.  There is always so many choices in her digi sets; that you will love them too.  

I love my new CTMH Hello Lovely paper pack and both of these papers are from that pack.  I love the soft pastels; which fit perfectly with this colored image.
