Christmas Card Fun

Wow....once again it has been FOREVER since I have posted.....ugh.  Sorry

Today I would like to share some Christmas Card Kits.  I want to thank fellow CTMH Consultant Brenda Rose for sharing her inspiration.  She is so talented!

Now on to the cards.  There are 18 different cards in each kit, all cut, die cuts and stamped for you. You just need to assemble them using the guide that I have put together for you.  These great cards feature our Picture My Life Christmas Overlays, Clear Sparkles and glittery snow flakes made using our Snow Flake Thin Cuts. 

I have created two versions of the cards...one using the elegant Sea Glass and Gold colors of the Oh Deer paper pack and the other using the more traditional Christmas colors of the City Sidewalks paper pack.  Both have sparkles and glitter!  (of coarse!)  Each kit includes card bases & envelopes, a full pack of the Picture My Life Christmas Overlays, Clear Sparkles, pre-cut papers, pre-stamped images and Snowflake die cuts out of our sparkly glitter paper.  Before you know it you will have 18 hand made Christmas Cards to send to friends and family.

The kits are $30 each plus $6.45 for Priority Mail postage. (Local peeps can make arrangements to meet up and save the shipping costs.)  Or you can come to one of my Chat & Scraps or Card Buffets and assemble them in my studio.  Click on the Calendar tab above for my schedule.  Both versions of the kit are all ready to go....drop me an email at Susieque@sbcglobal.net to order.

Here are some close ups of the cards......

Thanks for looking....hope to hear from you soon.....

Gotta LOVE the Sparkle! Card Kit

Hello.....today I want to share a card idea that a fellow CTMH consultant recently shared....

I know that the picture does not do it justice, but the sparkle in the CTMH Shimmer Trim is just stunning.  And the shine on the Gold Foil Tape just makes it Pop! that much more.  And against the black and white papers, Wow.  I just knew I had to make my version of the card.  But I didn't stop at just one.....

The pictures really do not do them justice.  But here is a close up of the Shimmer Trim....

Our Shimmer Trim is vibrant and sparkly....but best of all the glitter does not rub off.  And even better, it is self adhesive.  It comes in 13 colors and sells for $4.95 for a 5 yard roll.  It is great for adding accents on your layouts, cards and other projects.  Did I say that I LOVE this product???!!!  And our Foil Tapes are just as sparkly.  They come in Gold, Silver and Rose Gold and also sell for $4.95 per roll of 15 yards.

I love these cards so much that I decided to offer them as a kit.  The kit will include all of the supplies to make all eight of the cards, with the papers all cut and ready to go.  You have the option to have me stamp your sentiments as shown or to receive them blank so you can pick your own sentiments.  The kits sells for $20.00 plus $6.45 for priority mail.  If you would like to order a set please email me at Susieque@sbcglobal.net to make arrangements.

I hope you like them as much as I do....

Thanks for visiting...hope to hear from you soon.

Paper Pumpkin

Wow, I haven't been on here for a while.  November sure was a whirl wind in our house!  Before the month is completely over (it still has a few hours, lol!) I wanted to share a special project that I did this month.

I started with an 8 in styrofoam ball and sliced off some at the top and bottom to give it the shape of a pumpkin.  I then covered the ball with strips of burlap - both to cover the styrofoam from peeking out among the flowers and to give me a better surface to glue the flowers to.

I then used the CTMH Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy to cut the different types of flowers.  I cut them at 4 and 4 1/2 inches.  Once I rolled all my flowers (let me just say that the CTMH Quilling Tool REALLY helps) I started from the bottom and glued the flowers on using Quick Dry Tacky Glue.  To top it off I simply rolled some Olive cardstock and glued 'the stem' to the top.  Add some leaves and vines, cut using the CTMH Artbooking cartridge.  And TADA!  I think when I put it out next year I am going to add some glitter highlights....because I am after all the Glitter Queen!

 This brings me to some exciting news....

Halloween Workshops

Before the month of October is completely gone I thought it would be fun to get together for a workshop or two.  I have come up with three different projects....I hope you find something you like.

Halloween Cards and Treats - Wednesday October 15 @ 6:30 pm

We will be making 4 cards and 4 treats.  All cutting will be done for you ahead of time.  Cost of the workshop is $15.

And of course there will be extra candy for sampling!

Halloween Flip Album - Saturday, October 18 @ 11 am

This 8 page Halloween themed flip album is made using our Designed Decor Flip Stand Album.  Each page features images from our ArtBooking Cricut cartridge.  All cutting will be done ahead of time for you.  Cost of the workshop is $20.

Scaredy Cat Layouts with Flip Flaps - Tuesday, October 21 @ 7 pm

Flip flaps are a great way to add on to a standard layout....you can add out or up or down....and it all folds back up to fit nicely into your album.  We will be making what is really 3 two page layouts, but once we utilize the flip flap page holders it will become 1 two page layout with extensions.  Confused?  Check out the photos below.  We will be using the fun Scaredy Cat paper pack and compliments.  And of course all of the paper will be cut ahead of time for you.
Cost of the workshop is $20.

So there you have it....a  little bit of everything for your Halloween Season.  I hope you saw something you liked.  (Sorry for the sideways pictures, I was computer challenged today!)

Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Sue
