"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous!"

(Coco Chanel)

My best friend bought me a coffee mug last year for my birthday that says, "I'm not a shopaholic. I'm just really into stimulating the economy." Let's just say, that is so true! So when I came across this stamp set from Close to My Heart, I just had to have it.

This is my first card with the stamp set, inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch. I remembered I had bought square cards from CTMH so, I got to work, and produced this. I'm really happy with the outcome. And I LOVE that stamp set just as much as I thought I would. Also, the plastic card was really fun (and super easy) to work with too.

I don't usually like stamping with acrylic stamps...but CTMH produces an excellent product and I have absolutely no complaints!

Supplies:
Paper, Recollections paper (all)
Stamp, Fashionista (CTMH)
Clear square card, CTMH
Embossing folder, Spots & Dots
Spellbinders, Standard Circle and Lacey Circle
Rub-on, Bazzill Basics Paper

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with: I made it in the school colours (red and gray). This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
