Set of 4 Hopscotch Cards

I slightly tweaked my past Snowhaven 12 Christmas Cards Workshop to create this pretty set of Hopscotch cards.

(All of you CTMH Consultants will appreciate the concept that I used 1 sheet of bulk paper for these cards, and still had enough paper left over for two more cards.)

I will be offering this as an upcoming workshop in April, so if you are local, watch for details.  (You can pick the sentiments you want to use.)

And just a reminder that the Hopscotch paper packet (and matching accessories) is available only until March 31st, so be sure to get yours ordered right away.

Happy creating!  :)

4th non-winning MIFYH contest entry

Today I'm sharing #4 of my non-winners from the Make It From Your Heart contest.

This 3D 6x6 Anniversary card was made for the Cards using the Dreamin' Level 2 paper pack category.

This card began with the adorable little door hanger that has the pocket out front, that I cut using the new Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  Then I added the flowers (from the same cartridge).  It just grew from there...

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE that Dk. Chocolate striped grosgrain ribbon!

I want it in so many more colors!!!  Although I'm finding that Chocolate is pretty neutral and it works with so many colors, that I guess it doesn't really matter.  ;)

Please come back tomorrow for my next non-winner! 

Happy creating!  :)

Supplies used (all CTMH):

Paper:  Dreamin' B&Ts; Colonial White, Chocolate, Bamboo, Goldrush, Honey CS

Stamps:  Art Philosophy Tags, Typeset WOTG set

Inks:  Pacifica, Chocolate

Embellishments:  Wooden Designer button, Mocha Opaque adhesive gem, Dk. Chocolate striped grosgrain, Colonial White embroidery floss

Other:  Wishes - Pieced Together, Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, 3D foam tape, sponge



Alternate Anniversary Card...

Okay, so I was blurfing (again) and came across a card on Catherine Doucette's blog that I just loved.  So I shamelessly lifted it, using my "Sofa" sentiment.  I put the Happy Anniversary sentiment on the inside of the card.  (Sorry about the crooked photography!  But you get the idea.) 

Now the first card I made will go into my ever-growing pile, and this one I am going to give to my husband tomorrow.  Can't believe it will be 10 years of marriage.  We met and have been together since the end of January of '95, so that's coming up 15 years.  It just doesn't seem that long!  "Sofa", so good!  lol  :)

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):  Welcome Home, Instrinsic Backgrounds stamp sets; White Daisy, Twilight CS; Kraft, Chocolate Chip CS (SU); Twilight ink; Chocolate Chip ink (SU); Dk. Brown grosgrain (Walmart); Brown button (my button stash from various clothing); Hemp; Double Scallop edge punch (Martha Stewart); Modern Label punch (SU); 3D foam tape (other).

Anniversary Card for my Husband

"Sofa", so good...  lol  Cracks me up!  

We have our 10 year wedding anniversary coming up on Wednesday, so I made a card for my hubby. Hope it's not too frilly for him...

When I was planning my card, I hadn't yet picked my B&Ts I was going to use, so I went ahead and printed my sentiments out on White Daisy CS.  Shoulda picked my B&Ts first... woulda picked Colonial White to tone it down a bit and be more matchy-matchy.  Oh, well, live and learn.  ;)

(I was having issues with my printer, so the main sentiment wasn't printing properly... ugh!)

Supplies used (all CTMH unless otherwise noted):  Welcome Home stamp set; Felicity, Grace, Veranda B&Ts; White Daisy CS; Chocolate ink; Antiqued Copper mini brads; Punches: Heart to Heart, Lg Oval, Modern Label (SU), Cornice (Martha Stewart); 3D foam tape (other); Computer: Tahoma font.
