CTMH THANKSGIVING CARD VIDEO


I realize it's been a couple weeks since my last video, sorry for the delay. I have gotten my craft area all set up and now have my camera suspended on shelves above me, so the filming process is much better. I hope you will enjoy watching this video where I use the new Soft Set Tool, Watercolor Pencils, blender pen, Grace Paper pack and Liquid Glass...so sit back, grab a warm cup of coffee and enjoy.

Lone Forgotten Card


I just realized this poor little guy got left off the other day when I was posting my cards from Close To My Heart MN Regionals. The funny part is this is my all time favorite paper pack...Perfect Day. I also really loved inking the edges of our buttons...the ink does not come off. How cool is that? Enjoy this sweet card and enjoy your day.

CTMH Color Challenge Card


This is a card I did this evening killing two birds with one card....I have wanted to participate in Jeanette Lynton's weekly color challenge and this week is the week. I'm not sure I'm crazy about this card yet, but it might be growing on me. I also wanted to enter The Flamingo's Are Stealing My Sanity skittle challenge...so one card, two challenges. This card took a lot longer than it looks...I stamped pumpkins faces on the back of the black card stock and then cut them out with my utility knife and versa mat. Then I put citrus green, orange and sunny yellow card stock on foam tape and adhered to the back so it has a raised effect showing some spooky shadows. Lastly I punched some circles of color out using my 1/4 inch punch and layerd skittles over the top...the effect is almost like a candy treat just waiting to be gobbled up. Be sure to vote for me in the card challenge starting October 15th and check out The Flamingo's Are Stealing My Sanity's blog and take Jeanette's color challenge with me.

CTMH Cards and More Cards






This weekend was a busy one for me. I worked all weekend long getting my scrapbooking / card /craft area all organized and cleaned. Granted it's a really small space, but you would not believe how much I have gotten in it and neatly I might add. I'm so happy to say, it's all ready to go and taping of new videos will be begin this week...so be sure to stay tuned for those. Now onto these beautiful cards I completed at Regionals in MN. We used the Thank You stamp set on the first card along with the popular Emporium paper. The beautiful flower card was created with the Amore Paper Pack and the Delightful Things Stamp and lastly the Star Card was from the Star Dust Paper Pack. Don't forget to distress those edges to add the detailed layering that will set your cards apart. Enjoy these card samples and keep watching for new videos.
