The top two cards are from the ever tasty Felicity Paper Kit from Close To My Heart. It's a special kit that you can earn free or purchase out right. But the time is limited, it ends Sunday. The card pattern from the round card can be found in the ever helpful "Wishes" book from Jeanette Lynton. It's called Merry Go Round. The second card uses a Cricut Cartridge for the tree and scallops. The colors are bamboo, twilight, cocoa, and sorbet. The branch and heart leaves came from the exclusive stamp set included in the CTMH Twitterpatted Workshop on the Go. 
I made these cards for each of my current club members as thank you for being such fun and faithful members. I left them blank so they could use them & pass on the joy. The paper is from Notebook, the colors are black, crystal blue, bamboo, and hollyhock. Everything on all cards is CTMH. The Flower stamp set is the exclusive set that came with the Sweet Home Work Shop on the Go. The T is a Circut cut letter, and the Thanks came from Thoughtful Seasons.
Now that the paper is attached and dried, use the spray acrylic sealer to seal the paper and prep it for mod podge. I gave mine a couple of light coats before using the mod podge. After drying I added several light coats of mod podge with a paint brush. Make sure to cover any overlapping paper edges really well (that means several coats). I found that mod podging worked best when the items seams are guled down well. 
If it's not you can use the mod podge as a glue and keep going over it until it's sealed. When you are satisfied with your mod podge and it's dry spray a couple of more coats of the acrylic sealer. The sealer kept the item from bubbling and feeling sticky or tacky.
