Tuesdays' class Feb 2, 2016

We made Stamp of the month cards using Penelope paper and just 3 out of the 6 balloon animals, these are such cut cards and there is so much you can do with them. Everything you see stamped on these cards come from the set.  Remember you can only get this set this month. This is not only good for birthdays, but also babies. 

Wait until you see the elephant, giraffe and rabbit made into cards and scrapbook pages.

This card was for a masculine valentine card using B1507 To the Moon.  Pg 11 in the new Expressions catalog.   

We used sapphire paper, embossed it with the star background embossing folder and sanded it.
We then spritzed it with white watercolor.  Edged the words and the planet with blue and colored the rocket with watercolor pencils.
Hope your enjoying this foggy day, should go out but why?

Jan 2015 blog hop

Happy New Year Everyone, Welcome to our monthly blog hop, our hope is to inspire you to make your own creations.  

I am learning how to use the NEW Explore Cricut machine. I want to share how you can take a card from your CTMH Cricut cartridge and completely change it to suit your needs.   

This card was made the way "Artfully Sent" meant it to be

The swing card on page 25 in the "Artfully Sent" cuts out a separate Happy Birthday that you glue onto the swing part of the card.

 This card was cut out right on the card and I removed the fancy base.  New items on this card are Heartstrings paper, white shimmer trim and puffy stickers.   

This is the inside of the card, the box is a scene card on page 50.  This is what started me on this project.  The original cut has a santa hat coming out of the box. I was able to remove that and I cut out balloons  to have them coming out of the box. The white balloons could have the person's age on it.  

This card was made using the Explore.

I decided to add a cupcake to the top of the card. With the Explore I brought the three cupcakes onto the screen and placed  one on top of the card until I was happy with the size.  I cut these with  our new Heartstrings paper.  Love it!

This is the page you can find the swing card.  If I can figure out how to share the file, I would be happy to do that.  

Now hop on over to Krista's blog and see what wonderful things she has created.

Artbooking birthday card

This card was made with the New Cricut cartridge, Artbooking.  This  card would be good for New Year.  Change the Happy Birthday to Happy New Year and on the inside add fireworks, rockets, etc.  I love how this turned out with the matching envelope, also made with this cartridge.  

 Need ideas on how to use this cartridge, come to my classes.  Next class Tuesday Jan 6. at 1pm or 7pm
     Enjoy New Year's Eve and be safe. Looking forward to 2015

Spring Card Making day

If you were lucky enough to attend yesterday's Spring Fling you have these cards to be proud of.

We had 10  CTMH consultants to help prepare for this day. I praise them for all the hard work they did to make a fun day for all.  The food was great and the cards were showcasing all of new spring papers and accessories.

For Always
Crystal made this card which showed using white daisy ink,   June Stamp of the month, markers or colored pencils, black shimmer trim and a special black glitter button.

Chantilly
Liz brought this card for everyone to make using 12 squares and some other shapes using the Cricut. Stamp set is "Happy Thoughts C1536

Claire
Micki designed this card, using Cricut flower shapes from "Girl's Rock" C1538, and the new Happy Birthday set ''Joyful Birthday B1419

Tommy
Betty designed this card using White daisy pigment ink, "Joyful Birthday" B1419 and the chalk marker.  Pinwheels  are popular and easy to make using a square or cutting them out with the Cricut, see the May Stamp of the month.

Later Sk8R
Lori made this card using" A Journey" A1127 , this set also has some really neat pine tree, that would good on a Christmas card. Check this out on page 74 in the spring catalog.  

Buzz and Bumble
Nancy Brown brought this card to make "Country Born  D1443"  stamp set, the flower was from the Workshop on the go stamp set.
The workshop on the go have some great stamp sets, check them out.   

Tommy
Regina made this Tommy card giving everyone a choice, with different  elements and papers. The stamp set was from the Workshop on the go Tommy.

Stacy was not able to attend, but her creative artwork was there.   We got to see alot of her  artwork on the raffle table, she made this hot air balloon,  3-D lamps, picnic baskets and a turtle all with our new paper.  

DREAM POP
This is the card that I brought to make, I wanted to feature  the May Dream Pop  paper  special.  This paper pack comes with  bright colors and resist.  If you look at the flower, you will see shiny lines that can be sponged in all different colors to match any look that you want.  The paper on the left is another paper from Dream Pop and we highlighted it with black shimmer trim.  "Frame it Up"  D1524, was framed with my favorite Joyful Birthday B1419.  I love the new screen stamp D1544 with the black tulle.
