I’m back to this paper. I got it last fall and just love it! I don’t know what company puts it out, but the cardstock is some matching Bazzill. The stamp is CTMH (retired) and the ink is CTMH Olive.

This is a card I actually did last year, but in digging through my things found it again. I really like the idea of it, and think I will make more with different papers/stamps.

It’s a top fold normal size card. Then with a z-fold attachment on the front of the card, held closed by a ribbon (glued between the z-fold and the front of the card).

It would be really cute to put pictures inside, but I just stamped more on the folds.

Recipe:

Paper: CTMH – Patterend Paper retired, Holiday Red Cardstock
Stamps: CTMH – I can’t remember the name of this set, but I believe it’s retired too
Misc: CMTH – Buttons, eyelets, ribbon and inks

Well – let me tell you, I haven’t been feeling “crafty” lately. Despite that, the last few days have been spent actually cross stitching. I have a project or two that I need to finish up for Christmas! Once Christmas comes and goes, I’ll post a picture of what I’m working on. I think it’s going to turn out really pretty.

Here’s another matching card from the set of cards I’ve posted below.

It’s a square card (I think 5.5 x 5.5). It’s really simple, just some paper piecing basically. I felt that it needed something extra, but after adding the ribbon couldn’t really decide on what else it needed – so decided to just leave it alone!

The stamps and paper and inks are all CTMH.

The saying: Our Greatest glory is not in never failing … but in rising up everytime we fail. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I love this card. It’s so pretty I think.

Stamps, paper, inks and ribbon is all CTMH. I dry brushed the back piece of green with white MM paint. And used Liquid Applique to add the snow to the trees.

I made several cards with this same color scheme and stamps, so you’ll be seeing more in the near future!

Ok – finally, another card.

I used the same patterened paper as in the last card, and I have no idea who made it. The cardstock is bazzill. The stamp is the CTMH August SOTM, and the bling and edge anchors are also CTMH. The flowers are Prima.

I really like this card. I don’t know what company the patterned paper is from. The brown cardstock is bazzill (my new obsession). Everything else is CTMH. The stamp is from the August SOTM.

Hi everyone!

Well, it’s been a long couple of weeks!

But, I finally made it packed and got to my Retreat over last weekend. I had 3 days of great times with a bunch of scrapbooking friends in the middle of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. Each year we meet up there and have 3 days of nothing but fun and scrapbooking!

For the last two years we’ve met at The Mountain River Lodge. It’s a great place, and so beautiful!!

I got a grand total of 3 pages done and around 30 cards! LOL I know – it doesn’t sound like much, but it’s about the same as I got done last year. I’m pretty happy over all. And I did get my Christmas cards done, so I can’t ask for much more than that.

I’ll be sharing the stuff I got done over the next several days.

To start here are 3 cards. All paper/ink/stamps are CTMH. Enjoy!

Here’s another Polished Stone Card. I love this technique. I don’t know if this piece of it turned out as nice as the one from the previous card, but I still like how this card turned out.

It’s 5×7. The colors are Olive (CTMH). Stamps are CTMH.

Sorry it’s been a few days. I’ve been tired, and not feeling well most of the week and getting to bed before 9pm until tonight.

This is a 3×3 card, using the Polished Stone technique. All product is CTMH.

I’m sticking with the same Autumn supplies. I ran across Lin’s today and LOVED this card. I’d seen them before, but never made one before.

It was hard to get a good pic, but this was the best I could get without taking a glare off the acetate!

I was on a roll with these supplies! Loved it all!

On my weekend away, we went to one of my favorite Scrapbooking Stores … Treasury of Memories in Bellingham, WA. Let’s just say, I dropped a little bit of money in there. But, I bought some cool papers, chipboard, and also ended up getting a Christmas present as well. So it was a great trip!

These cards have very little stamping on them, but the stamps/ink that are used are CTMH, as are any brads. The patterned papers are Flair Designs (LOVE THEM) and the cardstock is Bazzill. The ribbon is from American Crafts Elements (colors are from the Cider collection). And lastly, the flower is a piece of a silk hydrangea that I bought at Micheals and tore apart.

Enjoy!

Hey! Sorry for the long break. I was on vacation towards the end of last week. Spent a long weekend stamping with some friends. I got a ton of cards done though – so have lots of new stuff to show all of you!

I also have a Guest Card to share later in the week!!! Stay Tuned for that!

Here is Merry Bella! I’m not so sure this card isn’t missing something, but generally, I like it. It might even be my Christmas card … or at least a version of this card. The papers/inks are CTMH. The saying stamp is from Stampendous!
