Using this Blog

Since I am no longer a Close To My Heart consultant...I have decided to use this blog for other things.    I do not want to delete this blog due to links to it on Pinterest and other places.  But I do want to put this blog to use.    So, I will be posting Odds & Ends to it from time to time.

Ending Business

At the end of June I will no longer be a Close To My Heart Consultant.

Thank you everyone who supported me.
It has been a fun year, and I have really enjoyed my time as a consultant.
It just didn't work out :(

A giggle a day

To make my card I used CTMH Lollydoodle Paper Pack & Lollydoodle My Stickease Assortment (the sentiment.)

I cut the two banners out using the CTMH Artbooking Cartridge.  The stars that I have place randomly are the stars from the banner cutouts.

 

 

 

 

Happy Home

I used CTMH stamp set "Happy Place" (March's Stamp Of The Month)...coloring everything in with CTMH Watercolor Pencils.

I also used CTMH Ivy Lane My Stickease Assortment for the lace top border and the pink flower in the left top corner.   The silver metal flower is from the CTMH Base & Bling Collection (this flower set has been retired.)

The bottom yellow gingham flower was from my stash.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Easter

I used the CTMH Skylark Paper Pack - colors Sweet Leaf & Lagoon.

The stamps are from the CTMH Easter Wishes stamp set.

I also added CTMH Clear Flourishes to the one side of my card, along with a white lace bow.

The stamping is done with CTMH Lagoon Ink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

May your Circuitboard.....

Card made using CTMH's Lollydoodle Paper Pack and Robot Family Stamp Set.

 

 

 

 

Dream

 

All my products used are CTMH

The colors I used are: Champagne, Smootie, Sunset, Juniper, Sky & Pacifica.

The girl, heart & dream are stamped on with black ink.

I used the Dreamer Stamp Set.

 

 

 

You Make Me Happy

You Make Me Happy card.

I used three papers from the Skylark Paper Pack - three charms from the Base & Bling Dreamer Charms - and stamped three birds from the Delicate Wings Petite Perks set.   I also added the "You Make Me Happy" tag that is from the Skylark Compliment Pack.

Shabby Chic

 

The base of my card is CTMH Champagne cardstock, which I embossed with one of the new CTMH Embossing Folders called Damask.   I added CTMH Hollyhock Zipper Lace to the one side.  I then used Hollyhock cardstock to make my square piece, which I distressed all the edges of.   I stamped on the heart which is from the CTMH Sweet & Lovely stamp set, which is one of the stamp sets that come with the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Bundle.  I first stamped it with Chocolate Ink...and then stamped it again using White Ink.   The "Many Thanks" is from the Chantilly Paper Pack...one of the borders on one of the designer papers.    I then added three different colored flowers to it (which are not CTMH.)

 

Love You Hearts

 

Made this valentine's card for my hubby.

I used up some of my scraps from the CTMH Sparkle & Shine Paper Pack.

I cut the hearts overlay from the CTMH Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  And the hearts along both sides of it are cut from the CTMH Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I then added four pearls, using two different size pearls.  I hand wrote the Love and You with a white marker and attached them with 3D foam dots to make them "pop" up a little.

In The Spotlight

I made this card using the "In The Spotlight" technique.

I used the CTMH "Sweet & Lovely" stamp set...which is one of the stamp sets included with the CTMH Artbooking Cartridge.   I stamped the flower heart stamp around the card in black ink, except for the center flower heart.  I stamped that in cranberry ink...then colored it in.   The frame around the the colored heart is cut out using the Artbooking Cartridge.    I also added a little black flower to it that is from the CTMH Fabric Necklace Kit.

Double Fold Pocket Card

 All products used are Close To My Heart.

I have made a double fold pocket card.

I used the Huntington Paper Pack, the rose is from the Flirty Complements Dimensional Elements, and the flower heart stamp is from the Sweet & Love stamp set (which is one of the 3 stamp sets that come with the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge package.)

For the first pocket I stamped on the flower heart and then attached the rose element to the top left hand corner.   For the second pocket I hand wrote a personal message.

Here is a picture of the card and both pocket inserts:

New Baby

I used the Babycakes Paper Pack & Babycakes Stickease Assortments.
The whale stamp and the Whale, what do you know? A New Baby is CTMH Exclusive Stamps set called New Baby...stamped with CTMH Exclusive Inkpad Chocolate.
