2015 Christmas Cards

I had so much fun making these cards!  That's a good thing because I made over 50 of them!!  I used Schell's Joy Fold instructions from her 2015 Mickey and Minnie Card Series.  Go check it out here:  https://youtu.be/l6U3VJezUvI  Her videos are awesome and so easy to follow!

Supplies:
Black Cardstock - Recollections
Patterned Paper - There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays from The Paper Studio
Glitter Paper - Die Cuts With a View
Cream Cardstock (sentiments and inside panel) - Colonial White by Close To My Heart
Inks - Ponderosa Pine by Close To My Heart (retired color - sorry) and Versafine Onyx Black (embossed with clear embossing powder by Ranger)
Spellbinders Lacey Ovals Die
Spellbinders Large Ovals Die
Sentiment - Holiday Tags D1560 from Close To My Heart and Glory D1483 (retired set)

Gift Card Holders

For something as simple as a gift card holder I cannot believe I used so many different supplies!!  I started with an idea I found on Pinterest that did not lead to an actual web page (grrr!) so I can't give credit.  If you know who designed this, please let me know so I can give them credit.  Don't you just hate it when Pinterest takes you to just an image with no details?


Supply List:
Red Cardstock - Recollections - cut at 3.75" x 11" and scored at 3" and 7.5"
Glitter Paper - Die Cuts With a View
Gift Paper - The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) - cut at 2.75" x 3.5"
Ribbon - Hobby Lobby
Snowflake Die - Spellbinders
Scalloped Circle Punch - Fiskars
Circle Punch (for the inside notch) - The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby)
Snowflake Embossing Folder - Darice (Hobby Lobby)
Fancy edge on front - Spellbinders Labels Ten Nestabilities (partially die cut)
Adhesives - Scotch ATG, large glue dots, and 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives

I told you it was a lot of supplies!!  I also used my awesome CutterPillar and my Big Shot (with both my extended plates and my magnetic plate) so I pretty much used all my tools except for my Cameo or Cricut.  Although the original plan for these gift card holders did use a cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and a CTMH stamp set but the tags I created just didn't fit these holders so they will get used on Christmas presents under the tree instead.  I'll try to get some pics of those and post the info.

Skeleton Tags

I can't believe it has been so incredibly long since I posted here.  I've been busy crafting but just haven't been able to get here to post what I've been working on.  One of my latest projects was making some cute pumpkins with my dance troupe for a nursing home visit we were doing.  One of the other girls brought in the crafting project for everyone to put together and I made the tags.  I used the Little Monsters stamp set (C1630) from Close to My Heart for the cute skeleton and sentiment.  The tag was just a simple tag cut out from my Cameo.  I really like how it looks like the skeleton is peeking into the tag.  I needed to make 60 of these so I really needed something fast and easy but still cute.  I really think this worked!  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the skeleton in CTMH Chocolate ink.

Awesome July Stamp Special!

Hi all!  I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to post some of my latest projects - lots of cards, several 3D projects, some bible journaling, and even a pocket letter!  But I wanted to jump in before the month was too far gone to let you know about a special that is really great.  Have you ever wanted one of the Close To My Heart hostess stamp sets but didn't want to actually be a hostess?  Then this special is for you!  For every $25 in stamps that you purchase you can purchase one of the hostess stamp sets for $5!  Or...if you prefer, you can get the July Stamp of the Month for free.

You can contact me for more information or go directly to my online store to place your order.  Once you put at least $25 worth of stamps in your basket the system will let you know that you qualify for the Jump On It July special.

I'll be back soon to share some new creations and more information on the new Close To My Heart catalog coming out in September - it includes a brand new Cricut cartridge!!

My Favorite Card and Stamp Set

Here is the card I hinted at way back in January when I was finishing up my thank you card series.  The has to be one of my favorite cards that I've made.  At the last minute I thought it would be cute to make the paper look like it was curling up from the typewriter so I curled it up with my bone folder and then stuck a bit of foam adhesive in the middle.  How many of you remember when you used a manual typewriter and you had to flatten your paper out after you were done?  I sure do!  I also remember the angst at trying to get that darn paper back in the typewriter just right if you made a mistake.

I love this set - it comes will all kinds of sentiments to put in the typewriter and a fabulous pointing finger.  I just love the whole vintage trend that is going on with this set!

You can buy this set for only $5 when you place a qualifying $50 order.  And...if you can get two other friends to go in with you on this and you end up with $150 in orders*, all three of you can get your own stamp set for $5 and you (as the hostess with the mostest) will earn at least $25 in free select product!!  This stamp set is only available during the month of April 2015 so you need to be Johnny on the spot with this one!

Supplies:

Close to My Heart Typed Note April Stamp of the Month S1504

Close to My Heart Colonial White Card Base and Envelope

Close to My Heart Black Cardstock

The Paper Studio Kellerkurtz & Co paper stack

Momento Tuxedo Black Ink

*sadly any purchases of the grab bag specials do not count toward hostess credits - they still will help you qualify for the Stamp of the Month so it's not all bad news down here at the asterisk!
