December Workshop

These are some awesome pages using our Pear & Partridge paper pack.  We will be making them on December 18th at 6:00pm.

 I love the rub-ons that match this paper kit. The snowflakes have glitter in them.

 Then I added the dimensional elements and some red sparkls to just give it a little sweetness.

I hope you all are getting ready for the great season of giving!

November Kit of the Month

For those that know me know I don't like Halloween at all. But I'm always amazed I can come up with some pretty nice layouts for that holiday. These are the four layouts we did using Moonlight paper pack.

 

 This second one the spider has a large black pearl on it's back and it really brings the little bug to life.

 Love that black tulling just gathering it up and it just adds so much to a page!

Hope you enjoy the Moonlight paper pack.

Christmas Layout

This is my Christmas layout I'm doing to show you how to use 5 of our 4x6 flip pages  on a scrapbook page. You will get all supplies just bring adhesive. Cost is $5.00.  Dates for this are Monday November 12th and Thursday November 15th both nights at 6:00pm.

The page on the left has room for a 5x7 photo and on the banner you can stamp the year.

November Cards

It's that time of year when I start my Christmas cards. We'll make 4 cards, a gift bag (purse), and the box with a bow. These are very cute ideas to put your gift cards in for the holidays. These first two cards are so cute. We use the October stamp of the month (Very Merry Christmas) and the silver metalic tape, and the right card is from the Pear & Partridge card kit, with olive ribbon.

These next two are just so pretty and simple.

 This is the gift bag (purse) and a box with a bow. I love to show you how to make a bow using paper/cardstock so you can match your paper. You're box will not have chocolate nuggets but tissue paper so you can wrap your gift card in it.

 

Hope you enjoy the Christmas Card workshop for November.

October Cards

What is in store for cards this week? We'll create these 5 cards. The top left we make the new yo-yos, the top right using an ink pad and no stamping, I'll show you how to make background paper then bottom middle this is the newest thing out there. You'll love making this card. Cost of the workshop is $6.00 or free if you place an order of $15.00 or more.

OK you all know this is not my favorite holiday coming up October 31st but I thought I would make a card anyway. You will use shaving cream with your reinkers for the background. We also will color with our markers again. No B&T paper on this one.

Then this one, what can I say - thank you pinterest. I got this idea off there, yes my cricut was working overtime to cut the scallop squares and the plain squares. We will use the Flirty paper kit for this. One card that can be used for many different occasions and it's easy. Another one you'll want to remake.

If you would like a set of these cards email me at kmauk@excel.net and in the subject line put cards please. I do have a few openings on Saturday October 6th at 1:00pm if you're interested.

What a wonderful gift

I'm offering this as a workshop the end of October. What  wonderful Christmas present for someone, or a great way of preserving memories of a loved one you lost. Cost will be $30.00 and all you bring is your photos and adhesive, I'll give you the rest. I'll repost this again with more details. Just wanted to give you a peek.

This one is a close up of the top left corner of the tray. My photo is double matted with Remember is a sticker or you could us "family".

This is the bottom of the tray. I will give you the letter you wish. The journaling spot is if you wish to write something otherwise you could put another photo or a piece of paper in the spot. Yes we make two small roses out of paper for the second from the left portion. Let me know what you think.
Send your messages to kmauk@excel.net This idea was lifted from Lisa Stenz another Close to my Heart consultant.

August Card/Swap

This is a using the Lovely Lily stamp set, sunset, olive cardstock/inks, and glitter gel. I cut the leave off the lily and used that as the background stamp on the top half of the card. This is a using the Lovely Lily stamp set, sunset, olive cardstock, and glitter gel. I cut the leave off the lily and used that as the background stamp on the top half of the card. This card also lifts up to open bby the end of the olive and the word part folds down while the olive brad is holding it shut. The lily is also colored in with our waterbrush and I used our glitter gel on the center of the flower.This card also lifts up to open and the olive brad is holding it shut.

I'm also using this as a swap for other Close to my Heart Consultants at our convention. Hope you like it.

Tulip Card

This card is so easy. It's using the SU owl and small oval punch. The cardstock and ribbon are hollyhock with the grey coming from the Dotty For You paper pack. After you punch the tulip out you need to sponge the edges to give a sharper look. The green leaves are cut from a circle first.
