Rainy Weekend = Cards, Cards, Cards!

I watched a Mary Gunn video using the CTMH Happy Times stamp set and water colours and was inspired. I don't have that stamp set yet, so I used some SU! and CTMH stamps as replacements. I'm still not super good with water colours, but I'll continue to work on it! :) This was a super easy card and didn't take very long to do. Supplies : Paper: SU! Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White cs Inks/paints: CTMH Black, SU! Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green, CTMH water colours Stamp sets: SU! Secret Garden (flower), CTMH Sincere Expressions (sentiment), CTMH Springtime Wishes I also did the SU! To You and Yours Shaker Cards project kit, which was gifted to me by a very special fellow card-maker and friend! I only finished the first two so far. Since I don't have the coordinating SU! stamp set, I had to find alternatives for the stamped images. I used the following CTMH stamp sets to finish the cards: Charming Cascades (stars on the Merry and Bright Card), Holl

AHSC #157

I have decided to almost exclusively make Christmas cards, so I am getting ready to sell a lot of my stamp collection. I'm having a hard time going through my stamps and deciding what to get rid of... because a lot of stamp sets are versatile and they *could* be used for Christmas cards. Anyway, I used the Atlantic Hearts sketch #157 but I didn't get it finished in time to enter it into the challenge, but I thought I'd share it on my blog anyway. So, here it is: Supplies : Stamps: CTMH Perfect Fit - Holidays Paper: SU! Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green Core'dinations and Very Vanilla cs, SU! Festival of Prints patterned paper Ink: SU! Cherry Cobbler Misc: Cherry Cobbler thick baker's twine, CTMH gold Bling Gems, double-sided foam tape

White Pines Inspiration

(I just realized this was not shared in December when I wrote it! It was just saved a draft! Oops!) I was browsing a Facebook group when I saw a Christmas card that I fell in love with. It was awhile ago (like before Christmas 2015), so I have no idea who posted it and I can't find it again :( So if anyone has any idea whose design inspired this card, PLEASE let me know! EDIT: I found the card that was my inspiration! I tried to replicate that card...but with little success.  But I was so in love with the simplicity of the card, that I decided to make my own version. It is one of the ones that didn't sell last year (2015) at Christmas :( I guess my customers didn't like the style as much as I did! Oh well - I can give it away myself :) So, here it is: Supplies : Olive, White Daisy, and Cranberry cardstock (CTMH) Olive, Cranberry and Cashmere ink (CTMH) Gold sequins (CTMH) CTMH Workshops on the Go White Pines Cardmaking Kit set and CTMH Joyful Ga
