Another Wings Card

This 5x7 sized card is from the Wishes book as well.  It is my "go to" resource for making cards these days.  Just pick a size and a pattern and I'm off to the fun and creative part!  I used the new Wings paper packet for this card and the new Dreams Come True stamp set.  Both are available NOW in the Inspirations brochure.  I love that flourish in the bottom right hand corner.  I finished that off with some Bitty Sparkles and Licorice Opaques.  I trimmed the black cardstock with decorative scallop scissors and added some Juniper grosgrain ribbon as an accent.  To finish off the focal point flower, I colored it in with one of my favorite tools, the blending pen.  Colors for this kit are Sweet Leaf, Vineyard Berry, Black and Juniper.

Wings Circle Card

One of my favorite new products is the Circle Card Pack.  It comes with 12 cards and 12 envelopes in either White Daisy or Colonial White.  The circles are 4.5 inches and super cute!  The Wishes card pattern book has many easy and adorable patterns that work perfectly with these card bases.   For this card, I used the January Stamp of the Month - Find Your Style.   This is one of my most favorite SOTM's in a long time.  I love how the butterfly and other images have words inside them.  I also love all of the great words that come as a part of the set.  For this card, I trimmed around the wings of the butterfly to make it look as if it was flying off the page.  I used the Rock and Roll stamping technique with Juniper, Vineyard Berry and Black inks.  I added some Licorice Opaques to finish it off and Voila, done!

Calendar Time!

I completed these custom 12x12 sized calendars for a client back in December, I'm just now getting around to posting them!   These are so great for keeping memories all year long.  CTMH has a blank, white 12 month calendar available and the top half is completely an open canvas.  I like to put a scrapbook page on the top, and accent the bottom with stamped months and days in the coordinating colors.  This client does one annually for each of her two girls.  She said she wanted something pink and green for one and purple and yellow for the other - what a fun time I had choosing these color combos with CTMH's new summer color palette!  For the top calendar, I chose Creme Brulee, Amethyst and Gypsy.  For the bottom one, I used Pear, Smoothie and Baby Pink.  I chose layouts from the Reflections book and random stamped the pattern paper using the chosen color.  I used the Tickled Pink stamp set for the purple calendar and the Felicity stamp set for the pink one.  Then, I used the brand new Bohemian Alphabet stamp E-sized alphabet stamp set (my new absolute fave) for the months.

Bridal Shower Invites

These custom designed bridal shower invites were so fun to make, especially for something different to work on during Christmastime.  The bride's theme is very simple and elegant and her colors are black, ivory and platinum.  The black base is 4.25x5.5 with a Grey Wool slider that I stamped using the Felicity stamp set.  I added Pewter Bitty Brads and Pearl Opaques to accent the flourishes.  I stamped the words using the Party Pennants stamp and the border around the words with the Wings Workshop on the Go stamp set.  Some of the words have been fuzzed out to protect the client's privacy. 

A Peaceful Winter Scene

I made these fun trees to use as centerpieces for the tables at my moms church group.  We're having an event centered around peace and I thought these colors from the retired Aspen kit were perfect for a peaceful winter feeling (Twilight, Outdoor Denim, Creme Brulee and Colonial White).   I was inspired by CTMH CEO Jeanette Lynton's blog post here and her trees to make my version.  With the help of my Cricut, I cut 140 1.25 inch sized circles per tree and hot-glued them onto a cone shaped cardstock base for each tree.  My awesome friend Heather helped me assemble all of them, thanks Heather!!
