This is one of two layouts that I will be teaching at a workshop in April. The hostess wants one Spring layout and one Easter layout. (I’m still workin’ on the Easter LO.) I really wanted to add some photos to this layout, but it’s not Spring yet and I don’t have any photos to…
This layout was 100% inspired by Jill Broadbent. She did a very similar layout that was shown at CTMH’s Regional Celebration last month. I fell in love with her “furry” chipboard letters and had to recreate the layout myself. Hannah’s name is created by using CTMH’s Dimensional Elements Simple Alphabet wrapped with chenille Sassy Strands…
Sorry I didn’t post this yesterday as promised. It was a crazy day. This is the card box that I mentioned in my last post. You can fit 5-6 standard sized cards and envelopes in it. The first photo is of the back of the box with a card and envelope sliding into it. The…
I am kind of stuck on this stamp set and the color blue lately. This card is part of my March card workshop. It uses CTMH’s Simple Beauty stamp set and the “celebrate” from CTMH’s Happy Birthday set. I colored in the butterfly with Heavenly Blue and Grey Flannel markers. Then I covered the Grey…
This simple card uses CTMH’s Playful Flourishes stamp set. (One of my favorites!) I embossed CTMH’s Taffy Textured Cardstock with white embossing powder. Then I stamped a few sentiments in Taffy ink from CTMH’s Happy Birthday set. I used three mini flowers from CTMH’s White Daisy Just Blooms and added a Pewter brad in the…
This is a card that I made using CTMH’s March stamp of the month called Simple Beauty. I stamped the image twice and then colored it in with markers, cut out the flowers and used 3-D foam squares to add dimension. The “hello” is from CTMH’s For Every Occasion. I also added a bit of…
I finally tried one of those fun cardstock baskets. It was a little tedious, but fun to make. Here is a link to the instructions. I used CTMH’s Honey colored textured cardstock which I love because it is darker on the inside and lighter on the outside. I sanded the cardstock and then inked the…
Staying true to (my latest) form, here is another simple card. I used one of CTMH’s beautiful metal Foundry Frames to emboss the chocolate cardstock. First I spritzed the cardstock with a little water on both sides. Then I laid it on top of the metal frame. I used my rubber brayer to roll over…
I love creating layouts using a single photo. Sometimes you have that perfect photo that you want as the main focus. The layouts above are obviously of my two favorite subjects. My adorable kiddos. They were quick and easy to create because all I did was some “somewhat” random stamping down the page and mat…
