End of the Year Teacher Appreciation Cards

by

With our End-of-the-Year party theme centered around space, I figured doing the Teacher Thank You Card in that same theme was only fitting.  I made it in a 5″ x 7″ size so there was a little more room than the standard 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card for families to sign it.  We passed it around … Read more End of the Year Teacher Appreciation Cards

Circus Alphabet Stamp of the Month Card

Here’s a July Stamp of the Month card (Circus Alphabet) made using the lower case font to create a patterned paper done with the tone-on-tone technique. It also uses the negative piece from a heart shape cut from the Cricut Artiste Collection.  Add in some fun embellishments (Aqua Dots, Washi Tape and separated Burlap Ribbon) … Read more Circus Alphabet Stamp of the Month Card

Unicorn Dreams Card

by

Today’s card was created using one of CTMH’s Hostess Rewards Stamp sets.  It was a favorite of mine as soon as I saw it.  I remember when I was a little girl and I absolutely adored unicorns. I had stickers, posters, figurines–you name it–I probably had it!  And it seems like we’ve gone full circle … Read more Unicorn Dreams Card

End of School Year Appreciation

by

Today was officially the last fieldtrip for this school year.  At our school we have a parent who is the Fieldtrip Coordinator for each class.  They work with the teacher to plan the trips and then coordinate drivers–no easy task that’s for sure!  There were way too many times this year when trips were almost … Read more End of School Year Appreciation

Kaboom Stamp of the Month

It’s a new month which means another *NEW* Stamp of the Month!  (It’s hard to believe it’s already June, huh!?!)  This month’s stamp set–Kaboom–is perfect for preparing for next month’s celebrations.  You can use it to create cards, craft some home decor or even get your 4th of July layouts done before you even take … Read more Kaboom Stamp of the Month

You’ve Got a Friend

by

Today I’m sharing a final sample of the May Stamp of the Month—You’ve Got a Friend.  This card utilizes an overlay from CTMH’s latest Cricut Collection–Artbooking.  It makes for a nice background and is so easy to do!  The sentiment is stamped twice–in two different colors and then the ‘me’ portion is cut out and … Read more You’ve Got a Friend

It’s All Good Card

by

I was in the mood to create a simple and clean-looking card and as luck would have it, I had a bunch of random scraps left over from the Free To Be Me Paper Collection–perfect!  Creating the card was a matter of matting the papers, using a little 3-D foam tape to make the sentiment … Read more It’s All Good Card

You Are the Best-Jubilee Style

by

There’s only a few more days left of May which means there are only a few more days to get the You’ve Got a Friend Stamp of the Month.  I figured I’d post a couple more samples made with this set this week.  This card was created using the Julilee Paper Pack–super simple and quick … Read more You Are the Best-Jubilee Style

Free To Be Me Spinner Card

by

I’ve been playing with CTMH’s Free To Be Me Paper Collection lately (it’s in celebration of National Scrapbooking Month) and I designed this fun interactive spinner card using some of the patterned paper and cardstock from the collection.  If you haven’t seen the papers yet, I took this quick picture to show off how beautiful … Read more Free To Be Me Spinner Card

Quick & Easy Resist Technique

by

A super quick and easy way to do the resist technique with your projects is by using Close To My Heart’s Irresistibles.  I love these accessories because they are so simple to use and they pack a nice punch.  But the sad thing is they don’t stand out much in the catalog or online–because they … Read more Quick & Easy Resist Technique

You’re the Best Stamp of the Month Card

by

This May Stamp of the Month (“You’ve Got a Friend“) card mixes some old with some new for a fun, fresh look.  I used the now retired Later Sk8r Paper Collection (love the greens, blues and greys in it!) with the *NEW* Teal Shimmer Trim along with the Aqua Dots and the “You are the … Read more You’re the Best Stamp of the Month Card

Balloon Talk Stamp of the Month Card

Here is the Stamp of the Month card my Stamp Club made this month.  It’s a basic black and white card with a pop of color.  And what makes this set even better is that the Balloon Talk Stamp set coordinates perfectly with the Cricut Artiste Collection.  Additionally, I used the following products: Aqua Dots Z1853 Black … Read more Balloon Talk Stamp of the Month Card
