More Flower Pots!

I was commissioned to create another flower pot card (as a sample) with some different colors than before. I like working with these colors, so it was a pleasure. :)



If you want to see the other flower pot cards I've created, go here.



All products used are from CTMH.

First Communion Card

Let me just start by saying that this was *the* hardest card I have ever made. Not because constructing the card itself was difficult but because I could not wrap my head around the idea of the card. In my 400+ stamp sets, there is not one single cross....first challenge. Create a First Communion card with NO cross stamps.



Second challenge....my girlfriend wanted something *simple*. I have a hard time with simple, evidently. I worked this card over and over and everytime it looked a lot like something other than *simple*. So I went searching and searching for inspiration. Something I could grasp onto...and I found it at SplitCoastStampers.com - Thank You!



My next challenge....photographing a primarily white and light colored card without it washing out horribly. That was not an easy task either. Now, if I had a better camera, probably wouldn't have been such an issue...but my camera is old and I have to really strain it sometimes.

Overall, I think the card is beautiful and I think it photographed alright...and my girlfriend seemed genuinely happy with them (a set of 6), so all in all it was a success....eventually.

All products used (minus the edge punch) are from CTMH. (Gotta love that textured cardstock)

Enjoy!

A cute cupcake card

My Mom gave me this card...she received it in a CTMH swap. I wanted to share it because I think it is totally cute with the glitter and pearls. :)



Also, the base of the card is made with double-sided textured CS (also from CTMH).

Enjoy!

PS) She didn't tell me who created the card, so if you happen to know the lovely CTMH Consultant who created this beauty, please feel free to post it in the comments. Thanks!

Patchwork Dog says: 'Happy Birthday"

Another birthday card...I just love this little dog. :) The panel with the pup has pop dots underneath for depth.

Interior reads: "Happy Birthday"

Card measures approximately 4.25" X 5.5" (A2)

This card was created with products from CTMH, also.

Enjoy!

Elephants are my very favorite animal of all time. They are just so magical to me. These cutie elephants are wishing some little girl a very happy birthday. :)



Interior reads: "Happy Birthday!"

'Fun Flower' Card (as named by my daughter)

*Love Generously. Praise Loudly. Live Fully.

My daughter named this card because of the flower used on the front. She loves to blow the dandelions once they turn into those little puffs...and she calls them "fun flowers" because they're fun to blow, of course. :)


*May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

This card measures approximately 4.25" X 5.5" and was created with products from CTMH.

Thank You a Latte Cards

I think these kinds of cards are the cutest..."Thanks a Latte". I have never made one until today. I created two of them and gave them to my daughter's teacher...she is big on Thank You cards and loved these.



I decided on a pocket card instead of the traditional open...and I think I like it this way.

Patterned paper is from CTMH's "Topstitch" collection, along with stamps from the "Coffee Shop" and "For Every Occasion" sets by CTMH.

Enjoy!

YOU ROCK! - Mojo Monday Sketch

So, it has been a while since I participated in the Mojo Monday sketches...but I am so happy that I got to play today! :)



I have been dying to play with some more images from The Greeting Farm anyway...and I thought this was the perfect opportunity.



The sentiment is from CTMH's "You Rock"...and I love that set, too. The paper used is from CTMH's "Twitterpated" collection.

Enjoy!

Gift Boxes with Carrier

This has to be one of my favorite projects. I love not only the paper (from CTMH, "Topstitch") but the entire project itself. I am going to give one of these to my daughter's teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week...and I know she will love it.



I'm not sure how Shannon did hers exactly for the lids/toppers of each of the little gift boxes, but I glued the ribbon to the back of the topper and tied around the front. This way the topper can be removed and the box opened...then you can slide it right back over the top and close the box again. Great for over and over use. :)



I know I will make this project over and over again...and I'm sure that I'll give tons away over the years to come.

Enjoy!

Flower Pot Cards (pocket cards)

These are just the cutest cards I have seen in a long time. I love that they're differrent in so many ways...one being that they don't open like a traditional card. :)



I made three of these cutie things. :)


*This one is made with SU! paper (razzleberry lemonade, I do believe) and CTMH CS

The last is probably my favorite...because I am IN LOVE with this paper. It is from CTMH...and is called 'You Rock'.



I found these cards on the Project Tuesday web site.

Enjoy!
