C9 Summer Camp Arts & Crafts Class

One week ago I was participating in Concord & 9th's virtual summer camp. Our last class was all about 3D items. The paper wreath was fun to make, but I love the 3D cards and building the scene. The best thing is they fold flat to mail in a standard A2 envelope. This was the best summer camp I ever attended!

Spring Critter Gingham Cards

I stamped the sheep, chick, and bunnies intending to make Easter cards, but since the holiday has passed I pulled out animal pun stamps and found sentiments that work! These cards were inspired by shaker cards I saw on Pinterest. The supplies are mix of current and retired products from Stampin Up1, Close To My Heart, and Simon Says Stamp. 

Coral Flowers on a Card

I stamped the leaves and flowers from Simon Says Stamp's set called Delicate Flowers. Then I colored the images using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers. I love the coral color! The piece of cardstock is embossed with the Geometric Next Level Embossing Folders by We R Memory Keepers. Then some gems from Fun Stampers Journey finished the card. I stamped a sentiment inside to make this a birthday card for a dear friend.

Blue Flowers on a Card

Here is another card I colored using a blue marker from the set of Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers I recently purchased. The floral stamp image comes from Simon Says Stamp Delicate Flowers. The piece of navy cardstock is embossed with the Gemstones Next Level Embossing Folders by We R Memory Keepers. Then some white and iridescent sequins finished the card.

A Special Birthday Card

Today is mom's birthday and I made another 3D card. This one uses Spellbinders Grand Cabinet 3D dies. Then I used some Anna Griffin dimensional stickers to embellish. 

Christmas Cards 2018

I made 12 of these cards to give family and friends. The card design is from Lori Whitlock's Flex Card Christmas Bundle. All the paper and the stamped sentiment is from Close To My Heart. I added some shimmer using Fun Stampers Journey's Sparkle Silk.

I made a second card too. I made 30 of the snowman. This card design is from Lori Whitlock's Bobble Head Christmas Card Bundle. All of the paper is from Close To My Heart. I also used the Sparkle Silk from Fun Stamper's Journey. To make the bobble head I used a pack of action springs bought on Amazon. The final touch was wiggle eyes!

Postcard Perfect Birthday Card

As you may know I used to be a Close To My Heart Consultant. My former upline and sister consultants are still dear friends. On Saturday (National Scrapbooking Day) I attended a card making event that they organized. This is one of the cards that I made. It uses the special collection for May 2018 Postcard Perfect. I mailed this card to a very special person who is celebrating a birthday today! 

Beautiful Day Card

I spent National Scrapbooking Day making some cards! This is one of the cards that I created from the April Bloom Box from Fun Stampers Journey. It's the first Bloom Box I purchased. I really liked  the techniques and product included. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Bloom Box! If you're interested in Fun Stampers Journey my friend Nancy is a Journey coach.

Pumpkin Kisses & Harvest Wishes

Here is another darling card that uses products from Fun Stampers Journey. I created this card at a class and was amazed at how to do the background. We inked up a block to add color to the embossed image! This card is not my design. To find out more about how to make this card and the products used visit here.

Card for Mom

This is the card I made for my mother this year. It came together quickly because I used a Cricut Make It Now project. I pulled out one of my favorite retired paper collections from Close To My Heart. It's called Blossom, I love the color combination and blue is my mom's favorite color.

Box Birthday Card

My dear friend Jolene is celebrating a birthday today. All month I have been working with Close To My Heart's featured paper packet La Vie En Rose so I had it on my table when planning out this card. The box card design is from SVG Cuts. I used CTMH's glitter paper and embellishments from the La Vie En Rose Complements. The birthday sentiment is from the stamp set Your Own Kind of Wonderful.
