Card Club–Snowhaven Card Kit

Hello!  I am back to share some more artwork with you, a lot of artwork.  Today’s post is all about the Snowhaven Cardmaking Workshop On The Go Kit (G1085).

If you are local to the Chesterfield, VA area we would love for you to join us on Thursday, November 20 from 6:30-9:30pm for this Card Class. We will make 15 cards total (5 each of 3 designs) for only $25.

Pictured above are the 3 designs as created by Close To My Heart.  The Snowhaven Workshop On The Go Cardmaking Kit ($24.95) includes the following to create 15 cards in total:

Workshops on the Go® Snowhaven Cardmaking Kit Contents:
1 – My Acrylix™ Snowhaven Workshop Stamp Set (D-size)
2 – Snowhaven B&T Duos™ Papers
4 – Cardstock Sheets (1 Cranberry, 1 Glacier, 1 Whisper, 1 White Daisy)
15 – White Daisy Cards & Envelopes
1 – Red Enamel Hearts (Z2009)
1 – Silver Shimmer Trim (Z1799)
1 – Instructional Brochure

Here’s a closer look at each one.

Do you need a stamp set to caption a photo with those award-winning ugly sweaters?  Well, this is it.

I think you could even give the above card to someone who has an early January Birthday.

I love the trees stamped at the top of the card.  Another great stamp for making your own background.

Above is the stamp set that comes in the Snowhaven Cardmaking Workshops on the Go Kit (G1085) $24.95. (Sorry, I know it’s not the best photo.)

So I wanted to give my customers some choices.  Some of them are really partial to Christmas Cards that state the actual words “Merry Christmas”.  So here is what I came up with.

I kept the same design of the cards I just used different stamp sets.

This sentiment comes from one of my favorite new stamp sets, Merriest Christmas (B1468).

Ok, I know this one doesn’t say “Christmas”, but it was my last chance to use these polar bears.  How cute?  This is from Polar Bear Holiday (C1557).

This card uses 2 stamp sets, Merriest Christmas (B1468) and Sing Glory (C1587).  Sing Glory is one of our new Hostess Only stamp sets that can be seen on page 7 of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  That means it is only available to Hostesses who hold a party (in person or online).  They can use their Hostess Rewards to purchase 1 of 10 stamp sets at a discount.

From the same Sing Glory (C1587) stamp set I created this card.  Love this angel and sentiment.

 

So now if that wasn’t enough, I took it a step further.  I have some customers that have already expressed a concern with doing 3 months of Christmas Cards (we made them in July and October as well).  Well, here are my non-Christmas creations.

These are probably some of my favorites.

This was the perfect sentiment to accompany all of the Red Enamel Hearts (Z2009) and the stamped heart image.  This sentiment is one of our new Mini stamps, Guiding Heart (M1046).

Everyone needs Birthday cards and on this card I used the stamp set titled Lovely Birthday (B1462).  Also, in place of where all those trees were stamped I attached a piece of white cardstock that was embossed with our Dots Embossing Folder (Z1924).

This card actually uses an older retired stamp set, sorry!  It was available for a short time as a Stamp of the Month.  I’ve still got some if you are interested, so contact me to purchase yours for $15.

 

So, there has to be something for you in this workshop and you too can make these cards.  Even if you aren’t local, I can put together a kit for you and mail it directly to you.

So who wants to join in the fun?

Scrapbook Club–Pathfinding

So the new Idea Book is here and the first collection that I am playing with is called Pathfinding.  If you love fall colors and themes then this is the collection for you.

Each of the Scrapbooking Workshop on the Go Kits uses the Cricut Artbooking cartridge to create titles, accent pieces, embellishments, and more of each of the 2 pages.

I love this overlay cut that is used under the journaling sentiment.

In addition to the products that come in the Pathfinding Workshop on the Go Kit I added the My Crush Wildwood Clips (Z2047) to my pages.

I also wanted to try and use a special tool or technique on the pages that CTMH didn’t do. So I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder to emboss just 2 pieces of cardstock on each layout.  Can you see it?

I bet you can now.  What a fun look and texture it adds to the pages.  I just love it.

As always, you can choose to buy the Workshop on the Go Kit which includes the stamp set and embellishments or just get the paper and choose what embellishments you want to purchase.  The choice is up to you.

I used the embellishments that came in the Workshop on the Go Kit and added the My Crush Wildwood Clips.

So who wants to join in the fun?

Thursday, September 11 at 6:30pm

Sunday, September 14 at 2pm

Cost starts at just $25 and includes a full paper packet (you'll have leftovers) and 2 of the embellishments needed to complete the pages.
But, remember you choose how much you want to spend and purchase only the embellishments and tools that you want.

Register by Thursday, August 21

If you can't make it to the workshop, simply purchase the Pathfinding Workshop On The Go Kit and I'll include my instructions for both layouts for free.

July Card Club

I will be heading to Close To My Heart’s annual Convention in just a few days and I can’t wait.  I get to see friends from around the country (and Canada) that I haven’t seen in months and share ideas with other consultants.  It’s so much fun!

Before I leave I wanted to share with you the cards that we will be making at July’s Card Club.

That’s right it’s Christmas in July.  This was such a big hit last year, so I’m doing it again.

If you are local to Amelia, VA I hope you will join us on either:

Thursday, July 24 at 6:30pm

or

Sunday, July 27 at 2pm

Cost is $25 to make 12 cards (3 each of the 4 designs)

(price includes all cards, envelopes, and embellishments)

If you don’t live near Amelia, VA I can put together a kit for you.  If you want me to stamp it for you add $5.  If shipping applies add $5.

 

So my obvious focus was Christmas, which was really hard to do since we don’t have any Christmas paper, embellishments, or new Christmas stamps right now.  So I had to get creative and I turned to the Cricut (and pinterest for inspiration).

Isn’t that deer cut the coolest?  I cut it from our Green Glitter Paper (Z1847) and embossed the trees with our Damask (Z1927) and Quatrefoil Embossing Folders (Z1926).

This card is one of my favorites.  I completely stole the design from a card on Pinterest and I can’t remember the name of the person, but you can find their original card on my Cards board on Pinterest.

This card was so easy and so cute.  It’s just paper (cardstock and glitter paper of course), with some strategic cutting.  I love the embossing because it almost gives the effect of Santa's “fur” on his suit.  The stamp is from the Perfect Fit – Holidays (B1412) and it truly was a perfect fit! (yes, pun intended)

This is probably my favorite card, which is ironic because it did not start out that way.  I knew I wanted to use the soon to be released July Stamp of the Month – Circus Alphabet (S1407).  Then when I found the diagonal stamp from the In The Background (D1540) stamp set and stamped it with Ruby Ink – perfection!

Email me to attend the workshop or purchase a kit.

Thanks for stopping by.

Embossing is Boss

First of all, Happy Valentine’s Day!  I hope you all get lots of chocolate and flowers. 

Today I am sharing with you the Monthly Special for February.  In case you haven’t noticed we now have Embossing Folders – YEAH!!  I have been wanting some embossing folders for years now, but knew I wouldn’t have time to use them if CTMH didn’t sell them. 

During the month of February, you are eligible to receive your choice of a new embossing folder FREE (a savings of $8.95!) for every 2 packs of bulk single color or combo cardstock you purchase.  Pick from our 5 new folder designs - dot, chevron, quatrefoil, damask, or stripe - when you make a qualifying purchase. 

Add a touch of texture and flair to every cardstock project you create - gorgeous and easy!  This offer is only valid while supplies last, so make sure to get your order in early!

 

I plan to play with mine today. Thanks for stopping by.
