CTMH A Bushel and a Peck meets Documented Love Us Card Set

Want to make some really cute, really quick cards that are very inexpensive?  I have just the thing for you!  I have combined the June Close To My Heart stamp set, A Bushel and a Peck, with a set of CTMH Documented Love Us Picture My Life Cards and made 12 really cute cards! 
We cut the big PML cards down just a bit, and layered the smaller PML cards on top to create our card fronts.  We adhered those on top of a White Daisy Card Base, added our stamped girls and sentiments (all colored with CTMH ShinHan Touch Twin markers) and embellished with some Gold Shimmer Trim.  On a few cards we added hearts cut using CTMH Stitched Hearts Thin Cuts.











 
My youngest child, Emma, helped me with coloring some of the girls, and I was so proud of her effort. 

I hope that you like our cards.  Be sure to order your Stamp of the Month before it is gone at the end of this month.  I am sure that the PML cards and Stitched Heart Thin Cuts will be going quickly too, so get them while they last!

CTMH A Bushel and a Peck Heart Card

Have you seen the CTMH A Bushel and a Peck Stamp of the Month yet?

I am here to show off its cuteness for my stop on the June 2018 Joyful Stars Blog Hop.  If you have arrived here by way of Michelle's blog, you are on the right track!

Today's card began with a card base cut out of the CTMH Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge.  I thought those hearts would make a darling background for my A Bushel and a Peck girl.   It was cut from Kraft cardstock and backed with a little piece of pink patterned paper from the CTMH Documented paper pack.


I pulled out my favorite CTMH product at the moment, 
the Thin Cuts - Stitched Hearts die set.  I can't help myself, I have been adding hearts to absolutely everything.  I thought a big Gold Glitter heart would anchor my girl to the card.  It worked, but I also discovered something amazing.  
The smallest stitched heart was a perfect match for my Artfully Sent card overlay hearts!  Using my exact cut file, that is.  Here is the link:  https://design.cricut.com/#/design/96763985


I added White and Gold Ribbon and White Dots for embellishments. And I almost forgot to mention that my girl was colored entirely using CTMH ShinHan Markers!  I love the control that they offer me while coloring!

Thank you for stopping by GIRLplusPAPER for this month's Joyful Stars Blog Hop.  I hope you enjoy CTMH's A Bushel and a Peck stamp set as much as I do!  Next up is my fellow Jersey girl, Marie, at her blog NJ Stamping Queen.
