Update (02/20/2013)
I found out about this blog not long ago...so...
I'm entering this card in the "Love is in the Air" Challenge at Heart 2 Heart CTMH Challenges Blog!
Check it out! It's full of amazing projects!

This is a card I made for a friend.
I used the same stamp (Fancy Pants Designs) for the background and the white panel (with two different ink pads).
Used a border punch and added some mulberry paper behind the border.
Used my Slice to cut out 2 butterflies and adhered them together in the center. Added some clear gemstones. Bended the butterfly wings for dimension.

And yesterday, I also had time to make some cards using new stamp sets found in the CTMH 2013 Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog.
I will be posting them this week...and the following weeks...since I have so many favorites stamp sets!
So, check back often!

Thanks for stopping by!

I made these cards for my first "customers" (a.k.a my mother-in-law and sister-in-law) using one of the stamp sets that came in my consultant kit!
It's called For a Friend (D1542) and it's a new set from the 2013 CTMH Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog.
Just a little sneak peek of what's coming in February...
Check back tomorrow (February 1st) to see the new Idea Book & Catalog, new SOTM (Stamp of the month) and a new promotion!

Thanks for stopping by!

Another (older) page I created and didn't get to post...

Another "thank you" card for friends. Stamps by Stampabilities, Inkadinkado, and Hero Arts. Distress embossing powders by Ranger (Tim Holtz).

Technique #1:
1. Choose a stamp that looks like ribbon (this one is from Close To My Heart, Cricut® Artiste Collection).
2. Ink the stamp in color of choice (you don't have to ink the whole stamp, just the length you want plus about half an inch).


So it should look something like this before you stamp on your project.



2. Ink the stamp.


3. And depending on how you tear the paper, it will look something like this...

I had to give some stuff to my sister-in-law, so I thought I would stamp the bag and write the note on, instead of using a card for that.
I used stamps from Close To My Heart (Cricut® Artiste Collection) and Memento ink pad.
For the faux washi tape, I'll post the technique on Wed...so, check back later!

Two Weekend Projects in one post, before the end of the year!
I made these this month, the calendar for a Secret Santa at church and the photo album for my niece.

The photo album is a store-bought one, and I just added handmade paper, glitter, a stamped ribbon, paper flowers and gemstones to the cover. I printed the best photos from the photo shoot I did for H, for her senior year, and put them in the sleeves.
Oh, the rose in the center of the script flower (lower right corner) is handmade! I did it! =)

Happy New Year!

Oh, boy! I was busy this Christmas!
Thought I had finished all the Christmas cards and found out I still needed more!
So, these are a variation on the first batch...I used gold embossing powder on these instead of clear (on black ink). The flower on the left card was stamped, leaves were colored with green marker, cut out and embossed in clear.

I think I need a break now! I wrapped so many gifts (for family and friends)...
Wait...I can't have a break!
Now, I have to make "thank you" cards for all the gifts I got from family and friends! =)

And since I haven't been posting a lot...
have a (belated) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Another card design for this year's Christmas! I made a bunch and forgot to take pictures before I sealed them in envelopes...luckily I had this one left before I put it in an envelope!
