Circle Thank You cards by Judy Harreld

 

These cute little cards made by one of Close to My Hearts newest consutlant, Judy Harreld, were inspired by a workshop Tanya took to me to.  The workshop was hosted by one of Tanya’s friends Shelly, who is a Stampin’ Up Consultant.  Yes, I said it Stampin’ Up!  Love their stuff too, but just can’t switch over to the wooden stamps.

Great job Judy!!!

A little something special for my Mom.....and your Mom too!!!

Tanya and I are so focused on getting layouts done for clubs that cards and special workshops are an after thought that never actually seem to happen. We decided to make a extra effort for Mother's Day, though, so you would all have a handmade gifts that you could present to your mother for her special day. Or keep for yourself!

For those of you who know me personally, I can't help but organize, re organize and then re re organize!! When I saw this DVD Tin, I thought what a great idea to slip easily in my purse and keep all my paper work, stamps, post its & pen together!!



Here is the Accordian purse and the 12 cards and envelopes that fit inside - what a great coordinating gift to give to your Mom to use the whole year through.







We plan to have this workshop on Friday, April 16th at Sabre Lanes, Menasha from 5PM - 1AM as well as Saturday, May 1st, during the CTMH work day at the Community Blood Center (anytime between 8 AM and 8 PM). Although everything has been designed to be quick and easy, this is a big workshop so you'll want to allow plenty of time to complete it.

The cost of the entire workshop is just $30. If you wish to only make a part of the workshop, here are the cost breakdowns:

DVD tin - $10
12 Cards - $18
Accordian File - $5

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Thanks, Colette

Cards by Caryn

This weekend my Mom Jane, and Sister Caryn, were here in Wisconsin for a weekend full of scrapping, card making and just pure fun! My Mom put together her 7 full size 12x12 calendars and my sister, helped me put together all the kits for my Aurora club members. It took until 1am! It was hard to go to sleep even then! We got up early and Caryn wanted some pointers on cards - she went home and made these beauties! Send me your photos and I'll post your ideas here too!! Enjoy!

February Stamp of the Month - Piece of Cake

I'm sooooooo in love with this month's Stamp of the Month - entitled piece of cake. I used the cuttlebug to emboss CTMH paper and sanded to reveal the white core on the background piece of paper. Then used paper piecing and a lot of liquid glass to create these 2 Birthday cards.... which I think may end up as card kits for sale for $2 each! I highly recommend getting this stamp set - click on the picture on the right to find out exactly how to get it in February only!!!

Crazy for Cards!!

In preparation for Christmas I've been making cards like crazy these last two weeks to give as gifts to my family. Last year I gave them as gifts and my cousin used them....the people who received them were crazy for them. So, this year she wanted to give them as gifts to her friends. So needless to say, I made about 125 cards in the last two weeks.... CRAZY!!! Here are a sample of just a few I made.

Warm Holiday Wishes.......

When my Festive Frills (C1328) stamp arrived I couldn't even put it away! I instantly new I wanted to put the new CTMH Twinkle Brads (Z1220) as berries on the wreath and glitter everything! Warm Holiday Wishes from me to you! To purchase this stamp set go to colette.myctmh.com

Happy Anniversary..........

This card was created for my husband in August for our 19th Wedding Anniversary. I couldn't ask for anything more in a husband. After giving him this card, I used it as an addition to a page I scrapped for our evening out. For the hearts I used chalk popping as a technique for a softer look than using ink.

If you'd like to purchase a $1 kit to create this card, please email me at colettedramsey@yahoo.com

Can't say Thank You enough....

I created this card with scraps left over from October's Hostess Club layout. Most of the paper is from the Enchanted Paper Pack, Olive card stock, D1271 April Word Puzzle & D1361 Thank You stamps.
