I LOVE YOU Card

This was a fun card to create

using the Claire paper packet

and the February Stamp of the Month!

A little touch of burlap and a button from grandma's button jar

were the finishing touches!

Are those foxes the cutest?

Noel Card

A card made by Sandy Trammel inspired my "Noel" card -- 

I regret not bookmarking the link, but will add it when I find it eventually!

I used: Kraft paper, burlap ribbon, CTMH Cricut cartridges for the poinsettia 

and the Noel title, Sparkles and Liquid Glass.

I photocopied the Christmas carol from a songbook we've used through the years and printed it on Colonial White cardstock to keep the vintage look.

This is one of my favorite cards so far since I love playing music,

and my favorite color is red!

Noel Sparkle & Shine Christmas Card

Noel!

Today I made my second Christmas card for this year.

I used the papers from the Sparkle & Shine paper packet

featured in the Close To My Heart

mini catalog, "Holidays from the Heart Gift Guide."
(To see the Holidays catalog, click here.)

It doesn't look anything like my first Christmas card

I made last week with Sparkle & Shine!
(You can see it here.)

That's the fun of these CTMH papers and embellishments --

each creation looks different!

The card's base is a 6 x 6 inch Kraft card from CTMH.

For the dimensional poinsettia, I used the Artiste Cricut cartridge

to cut the flower die cuts and also the Noel title.

I layered four flower die cuts, and attached them with a sparkle brad.

I free-hand cut the leaves and tucked them underneath.

The white poinsettia is from a retired Mistletoe embellishment packet.

The burlap strip is cut from a length of CTMH's burlap ribbon.

I scanned a Christmas carol book page 
and then printed "The First Noel" onto colonial white cardstock

and trimmed the music to fit the card front.

Inside the card, I layered the Merry Christmas stamped sentiment

on a strip of Sparkle & Shine patterned paper,

and added a small pointsettia and sparkle brad

to the corner.

My inspiration in making this card came from 

a card (see below) created by CTMH Consultant, Sandy Trammel,

which she shared on the Scattered Hearts facebook group page.

Thank you for inspiring me, Sandy!

Happy scrapping, everyone!

Feeling Flirty

 
Recently, I was asked to donate some of my paper art items to a worthy cause, the Gala/Auction at Concordia University, Irvine, CA. Thankful that my eyes are slowly improving and that I knew I could get a few things created, I said yes enthusiastically to my college roommate, Ruth, who is one of the committee members obtaining the auction items. 

This Flirty Card Box and set of 8 Flirty cards is going to be on their way westward with a few other paper crafted items, with good wishes for a GREAT "Gala of Stars" and with hopes of raising a lot of student scholarship money at CUI through this event!

Though the Flirty paper packet has been retired by CTMH, the Flirty dimensional elements are still available as a clearance item, and so are the wooden buttons and the canvas badge buttons!

Spring has sprung! Get out in the sunshine and feel the flirty where you are!
