January 4-Good Luck Card


One of the other advantages of creating and sending a card every day is that I am going to use up some of my scraps (probably 300 + cards won't even make a dent!). I used the retired CTMH paper pack Hopscotch to create this "Good Luck" card to send to a co-worker as we enter another long stretch teaching and we both are in college working on our Library Media endorsement. We will both need some luck this quarter!



Stay tuned tomorrow to see how to use Picture My Life cards to create quick cards.

ABC Blog Hop-O is for Old

Image
Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter O. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their O element will be featured in their post. If you came from Lauren's Blog then you're on the right track!  My letter O is for OLD today. I used the old CTMH products. The paper pack Skylark, an old card base and old twill ribbon. I used my Cricut Artbooking  cartridge to cut out the sentiment.   We hope you enjoyed today's blog hop.  In case you get lost along the way go to Catherine Nowak's  blog  for a complete list of participants!

My strip of paper from the Charlotte  paper packet 3" by 6". I then scored the paper at 3", 3 1/4", 4", 4 1/4" and 5", 5 1/4". I then marked 7/8" up the paper and cut at an angle from the first fold. I used the following CTMH supplies: Charlotte paper packet Black & Gold Ribbon Sequins Gold Assortment

Happy Birthday Card

Image
I am working on a card pack for Simon's teacher for Christmas. I am creating all the cards out of the Swan Lake paper pack. Today I used Swan Lake and the Wise Guy  stamp set along with some white enamel gems. This is an easel card which is so easy to make. The card base is cut at 4 1/4" x 11" and then scored at 2 1/4" and 5 1/2". It is folded to create a mountain. The card face is cut at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Here is the tutorial I used for measurements.
