365 Days of Cards

I need a Thank You  card and the Charlotte paper pack along with a small scrap of Peacock cardstock was perfect. I used the current Finding the Words  stamp set and Peacock ink. I used my Art Philosophy Cartridge  to create the shaped oval. I cut it at 2". 

The Charlotte paper pack from the last Annual Inspirations makes the most beautiful Happy Birthday  cards. I used 3 pieces of the Charlotte paper pack and one of the Picture My Life cards that I stamped Happy Birthday  on.

The Charlotte paper packet has been so versatile that I had to use for Throwback Thursday to create this simple Happy Birthday  card. I used the current Finding the Words  stamp set and Black ink. Happy Thursday!

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

I have been trying to use all the features on my Cricut cartridges more. I used the Artfully Sent cartridge to create this envelope/card. I used the  Charlotte  paper packet and complements to create this fun card. I cut the card at 7" and used the complement sentiment on the inside. This card will be perfect for a birthday and other celebration and will also hold gift cards.

I have been wanting to make a shaker card for quite some time. I was out of the CTMH Flip Flaps  though. I finally remembered to add them to my order and created this card using the Charlotte paper packet and complements.  Shaker cards can be filled with anything, but I created another card using the Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge and used the cut outs to fill the flip flap. I plan on picking up some confetti to use next time.  I filled the flip flap and then used adhesive to adhere it to the card base. I put another piece of patterned paper over the flip flap in order to provide a background and cover the flip flap so you didn't see it from the inside of the card.  I created the circle using my circle cutter and after I cut the card base, I marked the card stock and patterned paper before I cut the circles the same size. 

My husband will be out of town again next week and I want to have a couple of cards to stick in his suitcase. I made this card using the Charlotte paper pack. The "Love" Picture My Life cards is one of the PML's in the paper pack. I also added Whisper Thick Twine  and sequins from the Sequins Silver Assortment.

In January I had lot's of birthday cards to make. February requires far less birthday cards so more friendship cards are being made. I made this card using the Charlotte paper pack, the Treasured Friendship stamp set, Flaxen Ink and the CTMH watercolors . 

   The Charlotte  paper pack along with the retired "Mini-Heart Wreath" stamp was perfect for a Thinking of You card for a friend. I absolutely love how versatile the Charlotte paper has become for so many different projects. 

   I still needed one more Thank You card to send out for Christmas so I decided to use the Charlotte paper pack along with Whisper Thick Twine and Aqua Dots  for a little pop of color. 

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. 

I made this quick 4" x 4" card for a co-workers birthday. I used the Charlotte Workshop Your Way paper and embellishments to create. The Close to My Heart Complements make crafting so simple. I didn't even have to pull out a stamp set!!

Close to My Heart has changed the way they are packing kits. They now have Workshops Your Way which include a paper pack, cardstock and embellishments. One of the new Workshops Your Way is Charlotte . Charlotte is perfect for card making if you do not have girls to scrap in our life!
