Grateful For You Cards for the May Joyful Stars Blog Hop

 Welcome to the Joyful Stars May Blog Hop.  We are happy that you can join us today.  If you have come from Joyce's Blog, then you are on the right track.  In case you have not heard, Close to my Heart introduced a new Seasonal Expressions Idea Book on May 1.  You can view it HERE online.  There are tons of all new stamping and scrapbooking products including four new cardmaking workshops.  Today, I have cards made using the Grateful for You cardmaking workshop.
The first card is made following the instructions in the kit.  The instructions are very easy to follow and the kit includes all supplies needed to complete 12 cards except ink and glue.

The second card was made using some of the pieces from the card instruction, but I added a border using the scallop thin cut and a fabulous flower made using one of the Stitched Flower Thin Cuts.  Sometimes it is fun to change the cards up a bit!

The next card is similar to the second card however, I did not have a "bold" thinking of you stamp so I added a border of Mink cardstock so my sentiment would stand out.  This card uses a different Stitched Flower Thin Cut.  The sentiment is a retired stamp . 

Now it is time to HOP on over to my friend, Krista's Blog to see her extra special creation!
