I (Heart) You! - Swap Spoiler

I made this for our February card swap.  I used the Whoo's Your Valentine stamp set.  LOVE this stamp set.  You'll want to go HERE to order your own.  It's only available for one more day!
Now for the card details:  I found the idea on Pinterest.  I used Lagoon ink to stamp the chevron pattern and Cranberry ink to stamp the I (heart) you.  I cut the hearts out of Cranberry cardstock using the Artiste Cricut Collection.  The bakers twine is from the Bakers Twine Harvest Collection.

Whoo's Your Valentine Creations

I can not express how much I LOVE the promotion CTMH has going on right now!  Whoo's Your Valentine kit is absolutely adorable!  The stamp set is a must have for sure!

 I created the above valentines using the items in the kit and added red glitter gel to the hearts.  These cute gifts will be going to my kiddos teachers.

I had mini cups in my cupboard with the intention of using them for something else, but when I saw them siting there I had a light bulb moment.  The tops are 1 3/4 circles and then I created a few different looks using the stamp set in the Whoo's Your Valentine kit.  Such an easy and fun little treat to give out for Valentine's Day!  

Where do I get my own kit you ask?  Call or email me OR Go HERE for more info.  This kit is only available while supplies last, so don't wait!

I have one more idea to make up using this awesome kit, so stay tuned!

Job Chart

This is our new Job Chart.  I printed out what each kid is responsible for and then slipped it into a clear page protector.  This will make it easy for me to change as I need to.  I added magnetic strips to the back so it stays on the fridge.  The kids use a dry erase marker to mark when they've done their chores.  At the bottom they can see how much money they have in the "bank".  This is easier for me then to hand them money each week because either I don't have it on hand, or when we are at the store and they want something they don't have it.  We've used it for two weeks now and it seems to be working!

Christmas Tree Card

Sorry this image is sideways.  I'll see if I can fix it, but I wanted to get this posted before Christmas for those that needed a last minute idea.  I was inspired by one of my cute customers and card swappers Ann.  See her original creation HERE.  This card was so easy and used up some of my scraps!

I used Pear & Partridge paper packet.  I distressed all the edges using CTMH's distressing inks in chocolate.  I cut the star using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge and Creme Brulee cardstock.  Tied a bow with natural hemp and added pewter brads to the edges.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and happy holiday!

Christmas Creations 2012

I made these three items to give out as gifts this year. 

The snowman is a Symphony bar wrapped in white cardstock.  I cut the eyes and nose using my cricut and the Art Philosophy Cartridge.   I used the CTMH chalk marker for the eyes.  I used a black marker for the smile and then sponged a little blush ink on the cheeks.   I found the hats at Tai Pan last year on clearance.  The scarf is just fabric scraps.

Hot Chocolate Card: When I saw the October stamp of the month I thought of this idea.  I used Desert Sand Cardstock for the base cut at 9 1/2 x 4 inches.  I then scored it at 3 1/2 and at 4 inches.  I used the Pear & Partridge paper packet for the patterned papers.  The mittens are cut using the Cricut and the Artiste Cartridge and stamped with New England Ivy Ink.  I tied a bow with hemp and created the pocket for the hot chocolate using pewter brads.

The last gift I made was super easy, but always gets rave reviews.  I cover Hershey Nuggets with patterned paper and put in a bag.  I like to tie a tag or small trinket with tulle.
