Congrats Workshop Cards

Well, so far you've seen the thank you cards and the birthday cards we will be creating at our July 1st workshop. Today, I would like to share with you the Congrats cards we will be making.

This card is so universal. It could be used for graduation, wedding, new job, new baby, new house, etc.

I love embossing on my cards. It adds so much texture and really jazzes up a simple card.

Birthday Workshop Cards

Today, I would like to share with you the birthday cards we will be creating at our upcoming July 1st workshop.

I found inspiration for this card on the same page as the thank you cards you saw yesterday...page 13 of the current idea book. I changed it up a little to use Emporium paper again. And the title would've taken forever to adhere so I changed it to a quick label instead. That little label stamp has seen a lot of use, lately!

Our cricut cartridge saves so much time. Love it!

Thank You Workshop Cards

I am having another card workshop on July 1st. I still have one set available to purchase if anyone would like to join, or you can even purchase the set of 12 cards for $18.00 plus shipping and have it mailed to you.

So here is a peek a the first set of cards we will be creating, and it seemed fitting to start off with a "thank you".

Something that I like to share with my customers is that our Idea Books are just that...full of ideas for crafting your own projects. I found inspiration for this card on page 13 of our current Spring/Summer 2012 Idea Book. I decided to use up some of my Emporium scraps. It is one of my all time favorite paper packs. It combines three of my favorite colors, after all. Now, don't freak out over those score lines (your consultant did the "hard" part for you).

Thank You

Happy Friday to you! 

I work as a bookkeeper for my father's excavating business for my "day job". One of our vendors sent us a "No Charge" invoice recently, so I thought it deserved a special note of thanks. After all, very little is free these days.

So here is a card I created for this very special vendor:

I have been having a wonderful time reacquainting myself with my Wishes Book. I wanted to make a quick suggestion that I have found to be a great time saver. When you are creating one card, it's just as easy to create two. So here is my second version of this thank you card:

It only took a few minutes to add the stitching to this card. Hope you like! 

Thank you to my wonderful followers for leaving such lovely comments to me over the past year. It is like happy mail to me. :)

May Birthday Cards

Good afternoon. Life has been busy for my family, this past month. My daughter graduated from her first year of preschool yesterday. It was so cute to watch her sing on the stage with her little classmates. She did pretty well for just turning 4. My son graduated from kindergarten and today was his last day. They are my proudest achievements.

I have found a few opportunities to craft, though. So today, I would like to share a few of the birthday cards that I created this month.

I love the stamps that came with my Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. I decided to showcase our Hooligans paper so you could see that it isn't just for Halloween. It is still available in the "While Supplies Last" section of my website for just $3.00!

I used some of our fun Sunset Mini Medley ribbon, and I found this gorgeous purple ribbon at Hobby Lobby (actually the only thing I found worth buying there from the scrapbook section). My fondest wish is that we start carrying more purple accessories in our upcoming idea book that will premier August 1st. Also used on these cards are retired stamps "You & Me" and "Somethin' Special". I love our Wishes cardmaking program for creating cards when I hit a creative road block.

I made these cards for some of my wonderful customers that have May birthdays. I appreciate each and everyone of you. Hope your birthday was special. Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
