Thinking of You Card-January 12

This morning I woke up early and had time to create a sympathy card for a friend whose mother recently passed away from cancer. I thought the Charlotte paper pack was perfect for the occasion. I also have been trying to make myself use my cartridges more so I pulled out the CTMH Artistry Cartridge and found the perfect balloon cut on page 34. I cut the balloon base using a sheet of the Charlotte paper pack and the top of the balloon using Sorbet paper. I used the January Stamp of the Month "Thinking of You" in Whisper ink to stamp the words. I used a Treasured Puffies in the right corner to give just a pop of gold color.





 The January Stamp of the Month is available for only $5 with any $50 purchase. All products used for this card can be found here.

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!

There are tutorials all over the internet but I had to play with the one's I found to get the right size. My card was 3 3/4" x 3 3 3/4". (I had to cut it down my card to fit after I folded!). 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

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.
