Birthday Cupcake Card Using Adventure Fundamental Paper

I wanted to share a card I made using the "adventure" fundamental paper pack (Z3253), card & envelope base (X254), a piece of white twine (Z3216), my mini stapler to hold the twine (Z2027), the adorable stamp set "Sweet Birthday" (B1532) and my oh so fun...shinhan markers (love them!) to color in my cupcake...and we can't forget adhesive, scissors, blocks and black stamp pad. All items can be found for purchase on my website. Who couldn't use a few birthday cards on hand?!

Close To My Heart's Special ~ Create Kindness ~ 3X3 Cards

I made these cards (stamped "You are special to me" inside the cards) for the local theatre for their raffle (it's how they raise money to keep the play house going). My daughter volunteers there and I wanted to do something to thank them for giving her the opportunities that they've given her.

PS. I used Shinhan Markers (can be purchased from my website) and the stamps I used are only available until the end of the month (September 2016).

Fall Leaves ~ Cute Card Designs Showing You A Tip Too!

I thought I'd share the cards I made using this month's Stamp Of The Month (Sept. 2016). The paper is swan lake. The leaves are cut with the Cricut and then I sponged ink onto them to give them that multi-color design. Both are available for a short time (SOTM only until the end of the month!)...on my website!

Flower Wreath ~ Made With CTMH Cricut Flower Market Cartridge

I thought today I'd share something I made. The back story: My daughter is involved with a local small theatre. She is thinking of doing this for her career and asked if she could volunteer for them. 

They started her doing ushering and moved her to being co-stage manager during the summer. She loved it and will keep helping them (ushering when she's in school, she's in high school)...and maybe more when she's not. 

I wanted to help in a small way and decided to make a few things they can use for their raffle (how they raise money, along with ticket sales, to be able to stay open). This is one of the items I plan to drop off to them.

I used my Cricut machine and cut with my CTMH Flower Market cartridge (Z3285). I used a wooden frame to hold the flowers. I also added a few dots (Z3122) to give it a little bling. I just need to add a piece of white ribbon onto the back so the winner of the raffle can hang it up. 

Cards, Cards, And More Cards!

I thought today I'd share a few cards I've made. I am trying to use some of my retired CTMH products to make room for the new products. Also, I love showing others they are appreciated...and how better than a card (with a personal note inside), right?!
