First Impressions Card

  I have changed my plans a little and I will try to get 2 or 3 cards posted every week. Here is my first card for the week.  It is First Impressions on page 11 of the "Originals" Book.  I have used the new "Believe" paper pack and the stamp set is "Christmas Love"   Both are currently available from Close To My Heart. Both paper and stamp set is copyright CTMH.

One of my favorite things to do on cards is add foam tape to add dimension to the card.  On this card I added foam tape to both the Christmas tree and the little ornament.

 

Circle card

Hello.  I had a great weekend scrap booking with friends.

Here is another card for you all.  This one is from Wishes  page 11.  A simple statement.  I cut the card base using the "card" button on the Art Philosophy cartridge.  The label is also from the AP cartridge..  Paper is from the Sonoma package and is one of my current favorites.

Be back Tuesday

I will get my card a day on here going on Tuesday.  I was hoping to get more done this week but it just has not happened and I have a girls weekend that I look forward to all year long.  TGIT  Here I come ready to crop.

Hello,  I have decided to do a "Card a Day" Challenge using Close To My Hearts 2 card confidence books "Originals" and "Wishes"  These 2 books can be found on page 10 of the current catalog. Please email me at coppercoin@mywdo.com if you would like to purchase these books or anything else from this catalog.  Please join me in making cards as well as letting me know what you think about my cards.

The first card is "Cubes and Colors" on page 11 of "Originals"  I am working on using up some old paper so this paper has been retired for some time.

Here is another card I did for a friends birthday.  The paper used is Typeset X7139B (page 16 of the catalog)

I flipped the card pattern so that the "happy Birthday on the acetate showed better.

 The acetate is embossed using my Cuttlebug and then sanded. The cupcake is cut from CTMH's Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge (page 13 of the catalog).

Here is a card container and cards that I have made for my Mother. The container is made from at large cocoa container that I got at Sam's Club.  There is 18 cards in all. All of the flowers and the letters were made from the new Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. The paper is CTMH Sonoma.  Everything is CTMH.

These are a couple more address books.  I used Roxie paper pack and the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the first.  This paper is available through January of 2012 at least from Close to My Heart.

 This one I used Sophia paper pack, which is also available through Jan 2012. The butterfly and the Address plate are both cut from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.
