Pathfinding Layouts-Workshop on the Go

Image
I really like the Close to My Heart's Workshops on the Go . Everything you need to create two to three beautiful two page layouts. Included is all the paper you need, a stamp set and embellishments. The best part is the cost, only $29.95.  This Fall I completed the Pathfinding Workshop on the Go.  The first two layouts were created with directions from the kit: The third layout I created adding two additional pieces of Chocolate cardstock. I used Make it from the Heart Vol. 1 to get the idea for the layout. I also added a small piece of Chocolate fundamental paper  and used my Cricut and Artise Cartridge  to create the rosette.   All three layouts use Goldrush, Olive and Chocolate Ink. You can order all supplies here .

Pathfinding and November Stamp of the Month

Image
Life is finally starting to slow down for me now that grad school ends in 4 days!!! I am working on cards this week for the fabulous staff I have worked with. For these 2 cards I used Close to My Heart Pathfinding  along with the November Stamp of the Month "It's the Little Things". Here are the cards: For this card I used the November Stamp of the Month along with the sentiment stamps that came with the CTMH Artfully Sent Cartridge. I used Olive, Barn Red, Goldrush, Lagoon and Glacier Ink.    For this great card I used the new CTMH Cricut Cartridge, Artfully Sent . I cut everything at 4". I also added some Paper Fundamentals Basic  and brown glitter paper. The tree is from the Artbooking Cartridge cut at 3 1/2". I love how it turned out and is masculine enough to use for my school's principal.

I cut the paper 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" and then creased the paper at approximately 3 3/4" and 4". All supplies (except the post-it-notes) can be purchased here .

Chalk It Up Cards

Image
I have had so much fun this month playing with the Close to My Heart Chalk It Up  paper. Tonight I made 3 cards using different papers from the pack and 3 different stamps.  This card uses the Lagoon dots and I also used the Your Own Kind of Wonderful  stamp set. This is by far my most favorite stamp set in the new Annual Inspirations. To create the butterfly I second generation stamped the solid butterfly and then stamped the decorative butterfly over the top. I also added some silver shimmer trim. This card I used Lagoon and Sorbet cardstock and stamped the Great Job stamp in Lagoon and added black enamel stars.     This card was created with the Teacher Appreciation stamp set and the black striped twill ribbon . All these products are available on my website .
