You're the Best - Masculine Card

Here is another card that my Stamping Groups will be making.

I used CTMH's Timberline Paper Packet with CTMH Bamboo & Chocolate cardstocks.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH Burlap Ribbon, CTMH Slate Striped Twist Ties & CTMH Durables Triangle Studs.

I used CTMHS' You're the Best & Banner Wishes stamp sets with CTMH Chocolate ink.

I used a sponge dauber to ink the CTMH Slate Striped Twist Tie with CTMH Chocolate Ink.

I have 4 samples of this card, 3 of them are Happy Birthday cards and one of them is a Happy Father's Day Card.

Good Times...Thank You

This is the 4 x 4 card that I made for my Stamping Group participants at the end of their commitment period thanking them for their friendship throughout the year.

I really loved how this card came together and this is the card that inspired my February's Open House Valentine's Day Free Make 'n' Take Card.

I used CTMH White Daisy Cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH Sparkle & Shine Washi Tape, CTMH Ruby Alcohol Based Marker and CTMH Red Glitz Glitter Gel.

I used CTMH's Wintry Wishes, Take Note Artbooking Collection, Perfect-Fit Thanksgiving, Santa Claus and Comments stamp sets with CTMH Black, Ruby, Slate & Whisper inks.

I hand wrote my appreciation to each Stamping Group participant with Stampin' Up's Cherry Cobbler Marker.

I made my own CTMH White Daisy cardstock envelopes with Stampin' Up's Envelope Maker and sealed the envelopes with Sparkle & Shine Washi tape to match my card.

Address Recipe Box

Here is where I keep all my CTMH Friends' Addresses.

I used CTMH's My Creations Recipe/Photo Box. Unfortunately, this item wasn't continued into the current CTMH Catalogue and is no longer available.

I used My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary two-sided patterned paper.

To embellish the recipe box, I used CTMH Bamboo Ink to distress the white edges, Basic Grey Flower, Stampin' Up Felt Leaves, Stampin' Up Punch for the divider tabs, Basic Grey Alphabet Stickers for the divider tabs and CTMH Hook & Loop Dots (velcro fasteners) to help keep the lid closed.

The recipe box did come with a magnetic lid fastener, but with my layers of paper it would no longer work so I used the hook & loop dots.

Birthday Pocket Album

Prior to my accident on November 21, 2013, I had spent some time in my scrap room and completed some projects that hadn't made it up on my blog.

So, I am now catching my blog up.

This is CTMH's My Creations Kraft Pocket Album. I use it like an event calendar and record my birthdays in it. This way it's not hanging up on my wall for everyone to see.

I keep it stored in my scrap room. In older posts I had shown a card holder and a piggy bank that I had also made for my scrap room. I used the same paper line on all of these projects to tie in with my room.

I used My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary two-sided patterned papers with CTMH Juniper cardstock.

To embellish the pocket album, I used Basic Grey Felt Stickers, EK Success Photo Corner Punch and Don Juan Cricut Cartridge for my "Month" titles on the pockets.

I used CTMH's Moments in Time, Cherish the Day and January to December Word Puzzle stamp sets with CTMH Cocoa ink. If I am not mistaken, most if not all the stamp sets I used are no longer available.

This project was more of a personal project than one to promote only current stuff available with CTMH. It felt great to use old stamp sets that hadn't seen any or much ink at all and to use some of my paper and embellishment stash up. 

You Inspire Me

This was the card that I designed for my 3 Stamping Groups that I currently have active.

I used CTMH Balloon Ride Paper Packet with CTMH Saddle & Cashmere cardstocks.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH's Baker's Twine from the Frost Card Making Kit, CTMH Clear Sparkles, CTMH Sparkles Clear Flourishes - Small, Doily die-cut from the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge (page 58) and a CTMH Edge Distresser. 

I used CTMH's Inspiration Flourishes stamp set with CTMH Saddles & Cashmere inks.

For the inside sentiment, I used the "Happy Birthday" from one of the stamp sets that comes with the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. Some of the participants used the "Happy Mother's Day" stamp from the CTMH Mother's Day stamp set.

I left some of my samples blank to possibly use them for National Scrapbooking Day.

Autism Crop Layout - Free Workshop

At the Sold Out Giving a Scrap About Autism Crop on Saturday, April 12, 2014, I am teaching two Free Workshops for the participants to attend. This layout and the card on my previous post.

I am also hosting a vendor booth with many products on hand for customers to check out. I hope to have a few samples made up by then, but I am still on rest orders from the doctors due to my Post Concussion Syndrome. So, I won't have as many samples on hand as I would normally have.

This layout is intended for the participants to scrapbook their day at the Autism Crop. Photos with friends, completed projects, work station and the list goes on, but of course, it doesn't have to be about the crop. That is only a suggestion.

I used CTMH Jubilee Paper Packet with CTMH Indian Corn Blue, Cranberry, Honey & Topiary cardstocks.

To embellish this layout, I used CTMH Topiary Mini Chevron Ribbon, CTMH Durable Triangle Studs, the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge to cut out the die-cuts on this layout and the CTMH Scalloped Border Punch.

I used CTMH's Catch You Later stamp set and CTMH Sweet & Lovely stamp set that comes with the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge with CTMH Cranberry & Cocoa Ink.

So, for those of you attending the Autism Crop, don't forget to bring your cameras to capture your memories from that day!

Thank You Easel Card - Free Workshop at the Autism Crop

Here is one of the Free Workshops that I am teaching at the Sold Out Autism Crop on Saturday, April 12, 2014.

It is a Thank you Easel Card with a Gift Card Holder.

I used CTMH's Lollydoodle Paper Packet with CTMH Pear, Juniper, Cotton Candy & Cocoa Cardstocks.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH Flamingo Dots & Espresso Stampin' Up Marker.

I also used CTMH's Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut out the 4.5" Cupcake on page 69.

The stamp sets used on this card are CTMH's Doodle Signs Hostess Rewards and Oodles of Doodles stamp sets with CTMH Cotton Candy and Cocoa Ink.

Yes, that is a pug gift card from Wal-mart peeking out of the cupcake wrapper. 

Hope to see you at the crop!
