Another set of cards using Wishes 20 Card Workshop

Last weekend while the guys were all watching the Nebraska football game, I sat at my craft table and cut 2 sets of 20 cards using the Wishes 20 Card Workshop.  I assembled them that night, but did not stamp or embellish until this weekend.  I have only finished this set using Jingle and have 1 set left using Game On.

Again, I kept them fairly simple, some I did not even ink the edges!  GASP!!!  I know.....at first they looked a bit plain to me, but once I started adding the stamped images and added a bit of glitter and ribbon and a few other embellishments they started looking better and better.  I did add a bit of inking to the edges, but not to every piece of paper as I usually do......

Enjoy!  As soon as I finish the Game On cards I will post them as well.....




















Supplies used: 
Paper-Jingle Level 2 Paper, Creme Brulee CS, Juniper CS, White Daisy CS
Stamp Sets: Thoughtful Seasons, Thank You, Somethin' Special (Jingle WOTG Kit) Dainty Thoughts, A Twinkle, A Little Everything
Inks: Olive, Tulip, Creme Brulee, Juniper
Embellishments: Cranberry Ribbon, Twinkle Brads, White Daisy Grosgrain Ribbon, White Daisy Brads, Juniper Brads, Prisma Glitter, Glue Pen
Tools: Wishes Card Confidence Book

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!  

Once again, I hope that I have inspired you to try this 20 Card Workshop from the Wishes Book!!  I think I am addicted to making them.  I LOVE choosing the papers, cutting them, assembling the cards and then the best part is stamping and embellishing on them!!  Just like putting a puzzle together.  The stamping and embellishing is like putting that last piece of the puzzle in place......it all comes together!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!!

Back from Yellowstone and finishing some projects!

How about a few cards??  I started this 16 Card Workshop from Wishes a few weeks ago but could not finish until I purchased another package of Cherry-O opaques.  I used 1 package per 8 cards and actually had a couple left over that I cut apart and used just the pearls for accents.

I am really loving these multi-card workshops lately.  For one, I am killing several birds with 1 stone, so to speak.  I am keeping a few cards for myself to send out.  I am bundling 4 cards and envelopes to use as giveaways in my prize drawings.  PLUS I am using single cards to put into my customers bags with their orders.  OH and 1 more thing......in the process of it all I am using what I have in my stash and showing off the gorgeous papers and embellishments that CTMH offers!!!

I hope that you were all able to take advantage of the AWESOME 2, 4, 6, 8 sale that CTMH has had going for the past 8 days!  I can honestly say that I have never seen this great of a sale since I have been a customer or a consultant.  WAY TO GO CTMH!!!  Thanks for giving us such awesome products at such a great discount!!

Well, on to 8 of the 16 cards that I created with this workshop.  I did not follow exactly the cutting dimensions for my cards.  I added 16 pieces of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Sweet Leaf CS to use as my card base.  The cards that are shown in the Wishes book are all built on the card base itself which looked a bit plain to me using the Cherry-O Creative Basics papers.  So, I built everything on the Sweet Leaf bases and then adhered to my pre-scored CTMH cards.
















Supplies used: 
Paper: Cherry-O Creative Basics, Sweet Leaf CS, Tulip Cs and Colonial White CS
Stamps: Thank You, Dainty Thoughts, Bowl of Cherries, SOTM (can't remember the name off hand)
Ink: Chocolate, Tulip, Sweet Leaf and Blush
Embellishments: Blush Ric Rac, Cherry-O Opaques, Basic Buttons and Chocolate Brads
Wishes Card Confidence Book: 16 card workshop
Bulk Card and Envelops from CTMH (50 pre-scored card bases and 50 envelopes)

Thanks for stopping by!!  

I hope that this has inspired you to give one of these workshops a try from the Wishes Book.  They are a ton of fun to create and  super cute too!

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!!

How about a card?? Mojo Monday #84

I have not had as much time for creating lately and I have been missing it. So I sat down the other night to play.... I started by finding a sketch on the Mojo Monday Blog. It is an older one from a few weeks back, but I really liked the sketch. Once I found the sketch that I wanted to use, I chose to use a paper that I love, but have a hard time working with. The paper that I chose is from the CTMH paper pack Emporium. I used the colors Twilight, Crystal Blue, Heavenly Blue and White Daisy.


The stamp sets that I used are Ambience, Dainty Thoughts and Say it in Style. The middle flower is from the Dainty Thoughts set. I stamped it on all 3 colors of CS and cut out the largest part in Twilight, middle part in Crystal Blue and the smallest part in Heavenly Blue. There is a pop dot between each layer of flower. The 2 flowers on the sides are actually the same flower as the center just cut out smaller.


The center of each flower is a White Daisy Bigger Brad. The ribbons are White Daisy grosgrain and Heavenly Blue Ribbon Round.

I hope to be able to set aside more time for "playing"......

Thanks for stopping by!!
