Gear Up! New Workshop

Is this just the cutest card ever! It was the creative genius of Vicki Wizniuk, a Canadian Close To My Heart Consultant! We aren't going to make that card for this workshop, but if you had the Gear Up stamp set you could!

This is a workshop that will show you how flexible CTMH stamp sets can be. I'm going to show you another way to use this stamp set (for girls only)! You probably already know what I'm talking about if you have watched the new episode of CTMH TV which can seen here. It's a fun episode about 15 minutes long. And, for those of you coming to my free workshop, I will post the projects--a set of mini notecards and envelopes in a cute little box.

July SOTM swap cards - You've Got Flair!

I have been so far behind on posting and I'm glad I am finally putting up the July Stamp of the Months. This is such a FUN set--especially for those who love to make stackable images using pop dots to separate the layers. The first card below is a standard size card by Sylvia.


Round layout is done by Kayla and comes from the Fabulous WISHES book just out! Aren't these round layouts the bomb?


The little box below (yes, it's a little box) is my swap item.


Joey's card is one of the little 3" x 2" cards. Liquid glass embellish the image.


Diane, our swap host was the creator of the "standard" size card below.

And, another darling round layout by Celina! Aren't these fun?

SOTM standing Swap - June - Tender Tags

Oh my gosh! I can't believe that it has been so long since I've posted. Well, I realized that I never posted the June SOTM - Tender Tags artwork. My June Stamp of the Month was the Hinged Card which is the post just before this one. Here are the rest of the groups artwork.

3x3 Card by Sylvia - just love those metal decorative brads!


Below is a standard size card by Laura - Don't you just love those buttons?


The card below is a 3.5" x 6" as I recall. It uses the Moon Doggie Papers.

Next is a standard size card from Joey. She has used the "rolling" technique.

Below is a standard size card by Diane, our swap host and organizer. I am so amazed at the different ideas that come from this group!


The last card, by Celina, is a standard size card. I forget how cool the monochrome side of the paper can look!

And, in the post below is my Hinge Card tutorial for my card that I posted below. Hope you enjoyed the artwork as much as I enjoyed getting these!

TTFN!
