Thankful Card #TBT


After camping this last weekend and seeing trees reflecting on the lake I knew I had to create a card reflecting what I saw. I love mirror and second generation stamping. I first used Crystal Blue ink and a sponge to sponge on water. I then mixed Fern and Saffron ink on the trees. To create the mirror image I stamped the tree than covered it with a piece of paper and stamped the top of the tree upside down in the water. I used the very top of the tree in the water. I also used the top of the tree to create bushes. The tree and sentiment is from the Always Grateful stamp set.

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!

Charlotte Drapery Card

I have been wanting to create a drapery fold card for some weeks now. I finally had time to create one this morning after school drop-off. 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.
