Class is in Session.....

Howdy all! At last month's Stamp Club we each had to teach a new technique. Here are the cards that we made to share.

I made these to demonstrate stamping on vellum/Using stamps as a background (all Close to My Heart Products)

I really need to get more creative time in but I am too busy checking out the new items in the Annual Close to My Heart Idea Book that is coming out in August (less than a mnth). I will be debuting an Exclusive Hostess Club in honor of this new Idea Book. Stay tuned for more information. Until Next time.....

Crafty Card Gallery's Challenge Inspiration

Happy day all... Sue B here sharing the most recent Challenge given to us by Crafty Card Gallery. This month we were challenged to try a new technique. Well, I am always interested in trying to make new fun fold cards and this is one that I have always wanted to make. It is a Flower Petal Card. I used a template cut from CTMH's BandT Duo paper from the Free to Be special paper pack for May. Here is my card:

You can get this exclusive paper pack with a qualifying purchase. The other items I used are:

- CTMH Exclusive Inks: Ponderosa Pine, Sorbet, Sunset, Ruby and Bamboo

- CTMH Cricut Collection Art Philosophy Stamp Set

- CTMH Angel Friends Stamp Set

- CTMH Banner Wishes Stamp Set

I hope that you enjoyed my challenge inspiration. Until next time......
