Oh Christmas Tree!

I have been dying to play with this Close to My Heart Stamp Set for some time now. I had this idea in my head, but just needed to find the time.

Last week, I finally found the time to create the card & made 5 of them for my stash, but then trying to get it up on my blog was another story....but here I am.

I used KaiserCraft's Just Believe Collection: Remember & Hymn two-sided patterned papers with Bazzill cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH buttons (an old line), CTMH Green Assortment Brads, CTMH Neutral Assortment Baker's Twine, Bazzill rub-ons (Merry Christmas) & embroidery floss from my stash.

I also used a Stampin' Up Border Punch and a Martha Stewart Border Punch for the strips down the side of the card.

The stamp sets I used were, CTMH's Pear & Partridge Scrapbooking Workshop Stamp Set (the tree & the snowflakes on the inside of the card) & Kraftin' Kimmie's Christmas Interior Sentiments Stamp Set with CTMH New England Ivy & Chocolate Ink and Momento Black Ink.

Shanna has a Close to My Heart order going in this Friday, November 16th. There is also a promotion going on that if you purchase the Stamp of the Month for $5.00, you get to pick a stamp set from the catalogue for 50% off!

You can contact Shanna or myself to place an order.

Watch for tomorrow's post to see the another card made with this same tree stamp.

Happy Holidays

I used Bazzill cardstock that I had on hand, so I don't know what their names are except for the Bazzill Kraft cardstock.

To make the tree, I used My Mind's Eye Indie Chic tape. The black line was just drawn freehand. 

The "Happy Holidays" is a Bazzill rub-on and I used Karen Foster brads.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is from Kraftin' Kimmie's Christmas Interior Sentiments Stamp Set.

TJ's First Birthday Invite

Yes, it's hard to believe, but TJ turned One on October 29, 2012.

This was the invite that I made for his party.

I used Doodlebug's Snips & Snails paper line with Bazzill Pacific & Intense Kiwi cardstock.

The image on the front of the card was made with the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge and for the number one, I used the Don Juan Cricut Cartridge.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH and Die Cuts with a View yellow brads.

I used CTMH's Party Pennants stamp set with Black Momento ink.

The inside of the card & Book Title Index Card were typed out on my computer. 

Buttercup Flower Card for My Stash #5

For my 5th and final installment of the BoBunny Buttercup Flowers, I used Basic Grey's Picadilly 6 x 6 paper pack with Bazzill cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used BoBunny's Buttercup Dahlia Flower (new flower package from the other cards), Imaginisce Jasmine's Jewel Brads and My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Pictures Tape. I also used Stampin' Up punches for around the sentiment.

I used Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set with Black Momento ink.

Buttercup Flower Card for My Stash #4

For my 4th BoBunny Buttercup Flower Card, I used BoBunny Serenade 6 x 6 paper pad with Bazzill Black Prismatic and Bazzill Rope Swing Dotted Swiss Cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used one of BoBunny's Buttercup Zinnia Flowers, We R Memory Keepers Black Brads and Kaiser Craft Soft Yellow Rhinestones. I also used one of Stampin' Up's Border Punches on the inside of the card.

I used My Favorite Things Vertical Greetings II Stamp Set with Black Momento Ink.

Buttercup Flower Card for My Stash #3

BoBunny Buttercup Card #3.

I used Basic Grey's Picadilly 6 x 6 paper pack with Bazzill cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used one of BoBunny's Buttercup Zinnia Flowers, We R Memory Keepers Yellow Brads, Lace from We R Memory Keepers Gold Ribbon Package, Vintage Pixie Blue Binding Ribbon and The Bead Smith Metallic Vintage Hemp Cord from Jangles.

I used My Favorite Things Vertical Greetings Stamp Set & Die Cut and I stamped with Momento Black ink.

Buttercup Flower Card for My Stash #2

Here is the second card that I made using BoBunny's new flowers. Again, the photos aren't great when you shoot with poor lighting, but I think you still get the feel of the card.

I used Basic Grey's Picadilly 6 x 6 paper pack with Bazzill cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used one of BoBunny's Buttercup Zinnia Flowers, We R Memory Keepers Red Baker's Twine and My Favorite Things Buttons.

I used My Favorite Things Vertical Greetings II Stamp Set with Die-Cut and I stamped with CTMH Holiday Red ink.

Again, I was inspired to make the cards with no real purpose in mind. So, I left the inside of the card blank so I can add an appropriate sentiment for when the time comes to use this card.
