November Card Class

This card is from the Workshops on the Go™ Pear & Partridge Cardmaking Kit G1043.
Unlike the last card, with this one I followed the instructions exactly as they were in the instructional brochure. This kit gives you instructions to make 15 cards (5 each of 3 designs). By following the pattern and cutting instructions you'll have 15 Christmas cards completed in no time.

November Card Class

This is one of the cards for my November Card Class. I created it from the Workshops on the Go™ Avonlea Cardmaking Kit G1041. I used one of the patterns and the included stamp set, but used different paper and colors from the kit other than what it showed in the instructional brochure. I really like how you can follow the instructions exactly as shown for quick cards or change them up however you'd like.

My 4 year old granddaughter made her mommy a birthday card. She loves to spend time in my craft room.

Gift Box

This is a small gable box I made for my moms birthday gift. It was so easy using the new Cricut Artiste cartridge! The box, the banner, and the flowers were all cut from it. It is such a fun cartridge with so many cool 3D objects.

 

This is one of my October Card Class cards we will be making on Sunday the 21st at 2:00.

 

 

It features the Flirty paper pack and the stamp set D1525 Casual Expressions.

 

The green is New England Ivy and the sentiment is stamped in Goldrush.

 

This is a "swing card". It was cut using the awesome new Artiste Cricut cartridge that is exclusive to Close To My Heart. There are nine different swing card shapes on the cartridge and coordinating stamp sets that match the shape of the "swing" part.

 

For the month of October when you purchase 9 layouts in Studio J you will receive your 10th one FREE!

June Card Class - card 1

This card uses the very cute SOTM set Life Is Tweet S1206.
The paper pack is Footloose X7151B. The Footloose paper pack is so cheery and perfect for Summer/beach themed layouts. Featured colors here are Creme' Brulee, Sweet Leaf, and Lagoon.
The card is made from the Colonial White Die-Cut Cards & Envelopes Z1738.
The bird was stamped partially onto the Colonial White cs and then again on the blue paper and cut out and layered on top. The inside of the card says "It's your birthday"
Don't you just love that little bird!

Card two for my March Card Class

This card uses the new stamp set D1515 Play Day and the new paper X7154B Cruisin'.

I love the color combination of this paper pack.

On this card I paired two of the papers and decided to highlite Cranberry. The boy is stamped in Twilight ink and the edge of the paper is distressed with the same ink. I layered it on Cranberry card stock. The Happy Birthday (from a retired set) is stamped and edged in Cranberry and backed by Twilight card stock. The saying is attached with 3-D Foam Tape. There are two Juniper brads in the lower right corner.

The card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.

This is the first of three child birthday cards for my March Card Class

This card uses two new stamp sets D1505 Roar! and D1508 Diverse Backgrounds.

I stamped the entire front of the card with the speckled background stamp and Bamboo ink. The dinosaurs are stamped in Sorbet, Pear, and Pacifica. The bones are Pacifica and the saying is Pear. I edged the card and the saying with Sorbet ink and a sea sponge Texture Tool. The card base is Colonial White. The saying is backed by Pacifica card stock. The card is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.

My Granddaughter Phoenix had alot of fun using the fourth dinosaur in the set. Her favorite color is blue, so no matter what image she is stamping, it is always BLUE.
