Finally Made those 'For Always' cards!

Just finished working on my For Always card kit...about a year after I got it... :) I cut out all the pieces when I first got the kit... but I was so wrapped up in other projects that I just never got around to stamping and putting the cards together! I love how the smokey plum looks with For Always. Glad I got an extra paper pack when it was available.

I'm very excited about the new CTMH Annual Inspirations catalogue. Not-so-patiently waiting for July 1st and the consultant preview period! :) I do know that we have new markers, all NEW paper packs, and a brand new Cricut cartridge!!! 192 pages of paper crafting awesomeness!

I'm disappointed that the Canadian prices have to increase...but it's understandable. 10% is not that bad... AND the good thing is that for a $50 order, you still qualify for the Stamp of the Month, so that threshold is not increasing.

I can't wait to make some Christmas cards with the new stamps and papers! That is always what excites me most. It's never too early to talk about Christmas cards :)

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

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape
