If you have arrived from talented friend Andrea's blog you are right on track.

Today I am using our "Celebrate Today" paper suite to create this card....check it out!  

We have a NEW Birthday embossing folder & it made the perfect background! I used Ballerina Cardstock & then inked some of the background with Ballerina ink. 


We, at CTMH, also carry some BEAUTIFUL, Holographic paper...do you see it used on my card? 
The shiny banner at the top is using this paper...plus you'll see another place I used it on the inside of my card too! It's AMAZING how the color changes, according to what paper you have next to it & the different ways you turn it in the light.  This Dreamy paper, looks pink in this photo. 

Here is the Stamp/Thin cut bundle I used for this card....and I have some FABULOUS news for you!! :) 

This "Celebrate Today - Cardmaking" Bundle is ON SALE this month..and this month ONLY!!! 

CTMH currently has ALL of our stamps & our stamp & Thin Cut BUNDLES ON SALE during February 2020! 

 There are 6 different level of SALE prices...some of the Thin Cut bundles are DISCOUNTED up to 50% off!!   Make sure to contact your CTMH consultant, or check out the entire SALE at this link HERE. 



I had to add some MORE shimmer & shine to my card.  I did that by using Shimmer Brushes & Stickles!! Yay!! 
Raspberry & black shimmer brush were used on the cake...and the Diamond Stickles were PERFECT to make the candle sparkle & "flicker". 

I wanted to use the FUN sayings that were apart of this stamp set...so I chose to add some leftover strips of paper to the inside of my card, stamped the FUN saying & popped up a holographic cut out "Stitched Heart"! :)  So simple...but finishes the card design. 
  

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my card & were inspired to create some of your own. 


Happy Crafting & have a LOVELY evening!!!

Take a look at the card I created with this month's stamp set. 

I found today's card design in our BRAND NEW Jan/Feb 2020 mini Idea Book.  Check out page 24, and you'll find the pattern for this card, shown there. :) 

 
A newer item that we carry, are these ADORABLE Acrylic hearts.  

For this project, I wanted COLORED hearts, ....so I pulled out my Tri-Blend alcohol markers, and colored them to match my paper!

I used 2 of my Tri-Blends.... Blue Turquoise & Bright Pink



I also used some BRAND NEW items that are shown in our Jan/Feb mini Idea book....I ADORE all of these new goodies!!

Do you see where I used our NEW...
*Lagoon Shimmer Brush
*Soft Pink Shimmer Trim

I also used our CLEAR Shimmer Brush inside the Raspberry inked heart.  

...............................................................
My papers come from our BRAND NEW "Celebrate Today" papers. What a BRIGHT & Happy paper pack!

 

I also used, our "oldy by goody" Rectangle Stitched Frame Thin Cuts.
