One final take...

for now on the Everyday Celebrations cutting guide and using up different papers. This is what I had left of the Stardust paper pack. I like the sort of whimsical effect that this paper pack gives the cards. I'll go back to doing this cuz I still have a few more card sets to make, but as usual, I'm bored with doing the same old, so I've got to do something different for a while!

Another winner sketch at http://www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/ this week!

Using (and giving another sneak peek!) at some of the new CTMH papers and stamp sets that become available on Sept 1.

This is my favorite of the four new paper packs. It's called Grace and it is just beautiful. The stamp set is Sept SOM called Treasures. I used my Nestabilities to cut the center. The dandelion is embossed and pop dotted. The sentiment, "Make A Wish" is also embossed. And since I still cant sew a straight line, there's numerous stitches for some added visual interest!

CardPatterns Challenge

Love the sketch at CardPatterns this week!

I'm giving another sneak peek at a new stamp and paper pack from CTMH. The paper pack, called Jingle, will be available to customers Sept 1. The stamp set is the Oct Stamp of the Month and can only be ordered during Oct and can be earned free with qualifying purchase. The tree is embossed with white EP. The snowflakes I used Winter Wonderland EP, which has glitter mixed in the EP. The swirls are stamped using CTMH Playful Flourishes stamp set and I used Prisma Glitter on them.

A few more

cards using the Everyday Celebrations cutting guide. This group uses up completely the Key To My Heart paper pack! Now I need to decide what paper pack I'll delve into next!

Another take...

On the Everyday Celebration cards. I liked the cutting guide so much, I decided I'd use up some paper packs and make Christmas gifts. I know, I KNOW! It's August! But I like getting the hand-made stuff done early. I used a bunch of different stamp sets with this set as I will with the rest that I do. I like giving people options with the cards I make for them to use! Not saying who this set (or any of the others) will be going to since some of the peeps read! So they'll be able to see them, but they won't know which ones are theirs til they open them! Yes, I am a sneaky biotch!

CardPatterns challenge

Another cool sketch at CardPatterns this week. I needed a birthday card, so that's the direction I took.

You get another sneak peek at a new CTMH paper pack that will make it's debut Sept. 1. This one is called Grace and it's by far my favorite of the 4 new paper packs. There is not one of the B&T's that I don't like in this pack. You get to see a bit of four of them! I distressed all the edges and staggered them on the card. The butterfly is from Flutter and the sentiment is from Happy Birthday. The buttons are a stamp! Called Buttoned Together and it's got lots of different sizes and styles of buttons. I joined them together with a bit of common household string!The butterfly has both regular and distressed Stickles on the wings and is pop dotted.
