Monogrammed Note Cards

So I was watching a YouTube video earlier this month about making monogrammed note cards as gifts for holidays and etc., well of course now I can't find it to link to. Oh, well. I do know that she used the Wplus9 alphabet stamp set to create her cards. Well I don't have that stamp set, but I do have an older, so old that I don't know who made them, stamp set that I wanted to try first before spending the money on those to see how well I liked making these cards. These are very simple to make and I get bored with simple sometimes. Not the case here, these are super fun to do and come out really cute. My one suggestion would be to get extra thick card stock since this is a one layer card so that it will be very sturdy on its on.

  So I used Mustard Stayzon for the foliage around the initials and for the letters I used London Fog Momento ink. I love the combination of grey and yellow and I think that this came out great. And yes I will be investing in the Wplus9 stamps because this was so much fun and would be great quick gifts.

Valentines' Day Card #1

Welcome back to Creatively Cherry!

Today I am making a gorgeous Valentines' card using the Vintage Collector Mat pad. I cased this from another card that I had found on Pinterest. Here is the link to the original card from the DCWV site, http://www.dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2013/11/vintage-collector-cards.html.

Here is the card that I came up with, similar with a few differences that make it "Cherry"

 All of the card stock used, craft and bright pink are Recollections brand, the hearts were cut from the pattern paper as well as the chevron piece that is turned sideways. The flower and the bling are both Michales' $1 bin items, yes my Michales' still has $1 bins. The burlap was a by the yard purchase from Hobby Lobby. The letter stickers are from Target's $1 bin. I am loving the colors in this as well as the layout.

Thanks for stopping by,
Love and Hugs
