Picture Purse




Well this is my first attempt at trying to make a template of my own, after seeing several this was what I came up with, a picture will go on the buttercup matting. I have to keep trying and when I get a final product I am happy with, I will try and share a template or tutorial. This one just used CTMH'S Emporium paper pack and stickease.

Treetops and buttons?


For this card I whipped out some older paper(Paper Garden) and I used the oh so adorable Treetops ss, as well as Garden Green and Blush Ric-rak over wide white grossgrain. The little dream sentiment is from the Geometric Thoughts ss(retired)and I rubbed alittle chalk over it. It definatley did not turn out like I was expecting but I guess that is just an opportunity for me to play more with this set.

Another Wishes Card


Here is another card using the circle template from the CTMH Wishes book, I love that book and template cd. I also used Free Spirit, You're A Hoot, Treetops and Whoo Loves Ya stamp sets. The paper is from the Bella paper pack and the ribbon is hollyhock stiched. Everything was distressed in Desert Sand ink.

Is it the 4th of July already?


I just felt like making a patriotic card so that is what I did.

I used Creative Imaginations paper, the flower is from Petaloo, the little girl is from H&M Stamps a set called Celebrate the Day and was colored with Copics, the God Bless America and star stamp are from CTMH's July Word Puzzle. I also used a Label Nestability Die and everything was distressed in Desert Sand Ink. Well hopefully this is a better picture than the last one, which if you notice I deleted.

Purse Bag


I was just playing after I saw this tutorial I got from Carolina's Creative Pad. I am not happy with how this turned out but oh well my 6 year old loves it. I used My Mind's Eye paper.

Okay as promised from yesterday here are the cards, envelopes, and pen that go with the box. I really wish I would have had the Endless Friendship stamp set that matches this paper but I guess on Tuesday when my stamp gets here I will have an excuse to make another set. Another huge thanks to Tresa Black for her tutorial on this great box.

Unforgettable Boxed Card Set




Here is todays project, I got the instructions for the A2 card box from Splitcoast stampers last fall, and I just made the lid with a transparency instead of cardstock and wrapped the ribbon around the top to cover up the tape. I made 6 cards to go inside using Ctmh's Unforgettable paper and stickease. I left the cards blank, they are for my mother in law for mother's day.
