Card Making with Friends

Super fun afternoon making cards and sharing some laughs! Jayme found some fun designs online and so we played, created and here are some of the results!

Using CTMH new Hooligans paper and stamp set we made a "spring-up" card which is really fun to play with and turned out really cute!

Here is a look from the side.

Then, there was a search for a fancy folded card and we found this pattern...WOW! I used CTMH Cherry-O paper with Cherry-O Opaques and the You're Sweet Stamp set.

This is what the card looks like opened up, this one is a definitely a keeper to make again and again - it is a super cute design! I'm looking forward to working with more of the CTMH paper to make more of these!

Next, Jayme found this WAY FUN folded purse card! We used CTMH Topstitch paper, soft suede pinwheel accent and ribbon from the Heavenly Blue collection. Neat idea for all those purse lovers out there, CUTE!

I love the new Olivia paper from CTMH (OK, so I love them all - that's why I do what I do) - anyway, here I used a simple fold to create a fun pocket to add leaves and give the card extra dimension. I  used the stamp set Autumn Splendor. I added a little hemp to tie the folds together and secured with a little adhesive.

And I just can't seem to put August Stamp of the Month away - Something Splendid. We used CTMH Topiary, Honey and Desert Sand paper to make this card with some chocolate ribbon to finish it off. What would it look like as a horizontal?







Jayme thought the same thing and did her design with that in mind :) She also added a little stamping to her envelope too! SUPER CUTE.

Thanks for a really fun afternoon of making cards! Let's do it again really soon. Hope you all enjoy the designs as well! Have a blessed day and keep crafting!

Here We GO!!!

I'm really new to this blogging thing, but have been told to give it a try and post some of my cards and scrapping work online to share with anyone who would like to see them. Hopefully along the way you can share projects with me and we can have a lot of fun! I'm blessed to be able to get together with several groups of wonderful ladies and make cards. Over the past 7 months we have gotten together to make 6 different cards each month. What fun they have had taking the designs I have brought, change them up a bit if they choose and make them what they want. It has been a wonderful adventure watching them each step a little further out of their comfort zone to create beautiful cards that they can share with family and friends.

Below is a sample of the cards we did in August.

We get together once each month in Bird Island, Hector, Hutchinson and Willmar. If you'd like to join in the fun, contact me via email and I'll get you the information.
