Free Make 'n' Take

Saturday, May 03, 2014

11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

513 High Street South

(The Old DAT'S Scrapbooking Store.)

Come on in! The front door will be unlocked. This project should only take you 10 minutes or less.

For this 6 x 6 layout, I used CTMH's Timberline Paper Packet with CTMH's Chocolate & Slate cardstocks.

To embellish the layout, I used CTMH's Artiste Cricut Cartridge to cut out a 3 inch, 1.5 inch and 1 inch star.

I used CTMH's Flight of the Arrows and You've Got a Friend - May Stamp of the Month stamp sets with CTMH's Chocolate and Cocoa inks.

Photo Size: 3 x 4 Vertical

For those of you who only make cards, you can easily make this into a 6 x 6 Friendship Card.

I will be placing an order on Sunday, May 04, 2014.

When you spend $50.00 before shipping & taxes, you can buy the Stamp of the Month for $5.00. To celebrate National Scrapbooking Day, CTMH also has a paper pack that you can purchase for $5.00 when you place a $50.00 order.

Quick & Simple Masculine Card

Snow Day in Thunder Bay!

Yes, you read correctly. All school buses and rural schools were cancelled today. This is the 3rd Snow Day this month that my daughter has had.

Anyways, I apologize for my lack of posting lately. I am still fighting with my concussion; which means I can't spend much time in my scrap room or doing anything for that matter. The more I move and the more I think, the more sick I get. Reading is the worse thing for me to do right now...instant nausea. 

So, I spend most of my days on a couch drinking David's Tea, watching t.v. and my real excitement comes when I get to attend one of my many doctor's appointments.

I won't give up trying to get a card done here and there. I made this card in under an hour. That includes no preconceived idea for the card. Searching for the stamps and papers to use and designing from scratch.

I am happy with what I came up with. This was for one of my young adult male cousin's birthday.

I used CTMH's ProPlayer Paper Packet with CTMH's Ruby & Slate cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH's ProPlayer Assortment.

I also used CTMH's Maximum Power, One-Way Borders & Banner Wishes stamp sets with CTMH Black Ink.

Noel Washi Tape Card

Here is my last 2012 catch up blog post.

I used CTMH's Sparkle & Shine Paper Packet with CTMH's Cocoa, Ruby, Whisper & Slate cardstocks.

To embellish the card, I used the CTMH's Artiste Cricut Cartridge for all the die-cuts on the front of the card and CTMH's Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge for the baubles on the inside of the card & CTMH's Sparkle & Shine Washi Tape.

I also used CTMH's Trim the Tree, Stitch Wonder & Frosted stamp sets with CTMH Cocoa & Juniper inks.

The brad in the middle of the bow was covered in washi tape and for the bauble I used the reverse cut-out and not the actual bauble cut-out. The CTMH Whisper cardstock behind the bauble reverse cut-out was covered in washi tape. The border stripe behind the bow & the "photo corners" are also washi tape.

This was the final card that I made with my 2012 Stamping Groups.

Merry & Bright All Night Christmas Card

Happy Fool's Day!

Where I live, this card isn't really out of season, we still have quite a bit of snow.

For this simple Christmas Card, I used CTMH's Frosted Paper Packet with CTMH Whisper cardstock and CTMH Colonial White Card Bases.

To embellish the card, I used CTMH's Baker's Twine that came in the Frosted Cardmaking Kit.

I used CTMH's Quick Cards - Bright All Night and Wintry Wishes Hostess stamp sets. I also used the stamp set that came with the Frosted Cardmaking Kit with CTMH Whisper ink.

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.
