Yuletide Carol Projects

I almost forgot. I have 2 more leftover cards I made using last year's paper pack Yuletide Carol. I made simple layouts for quick cards, a bunch of them, and just stamped multiple times. These are simple, yet so elegant looking. Don't you just love CTMH papers?

Background paper is Yuletide Carol, the reindeer is from Miracle of Christmas stamp set, and the tree is from the White Pines Cardmaking WOTG kit stamp set.

The reindeer is colored using Copics W0, W1, W3. I used Poppy extra thick twine to accent both cards. 

And here's the stamp set and WOTG kit stamp I used.

And that's a wrap for Christmas 2015! Happy New Year everyone!

Christmas Card Making

It's December 20 and yes, I'm scrambling to make Christmas cards. I swear that I will start making cards in July next year! Every year I seem to find myself making last minute Christmas cards. But hey, big improvement this year since I actually was able to make some! Last year I actually went with the Close to My Heart's Cut Above cards that were so easy to put together. That is the whole point of Cut Above, assemble and glue and you're good to go. This year I actually carved out some time, albeit late, to create some cards.

So here I am sharing the one I did. This was done last week, since it had to be sent out early.

I used White Pines paper from White Pines Cardmaking WOTG kit. I love how red and festive this paper looks like. Last year the colors were on the dark side and I didn't quite like it that much. I used the stamp set that came with the kit, super cute!! I added some Christmas Red Stickles on the wreath for the holly berries to make it pop out a bit. Last but not the least, I added the extra thick fern twine. Love the red and greens! 

Happy Holidays!!

Heartstrings

Valentine's Day has come and gone, and I'm still stuck on this beautiful Heartstrings paper! I created 12 different kinds of cards using the Heartstrings Workshop on The Go. I love how versatile 1 paper can go, and how many different kinds of designs you can come up with.

Here's the additional stamp set I used.

The Heartstrings line and the stamp set is only available until end of March as part of Seasonal Expressions 1, so if you want it now's your last chance to get your hands on them!

Love Love Love!

Christmas Cards Project

With what little time I have, I've been trying to make as much Christmas cards as I can. I thought I'd use the Snowhaven Cardmaking WOTG, but instead of following the 3 patterns to make 15 cards, I thought I'd challenge myself and come up with 15 individual unique cards. You can actually make more, as I have almost full sheets of cardstock left and 1 patterned paper left. Here's my take on it.

I am so in love with this winter themed colors and papers. I used a variety of Christmas stamp sets to add more flair to the cards. Below are the stamp sets I used.

And of course, here's the Snowhaven Cardmaking WOTG.

Thankful

Pathfinding is one of my favorite papers in the whole Annual Inspirations book. Shocking since I didn't care for it much in the beginning. But after making lots of scrapbook pages using this paper packet, it has grown on me and now it's become my favorite.

I love how classic and simple this card turned out to be. I got my inspiration from one of the Cricut Explore's Make It Now projects, I just tweaked the focus so I could use the Pathfinding Scrapbook WOTG stamp set. I love this stamp set!

Enjoy!

Fall Pathfinding Workshop

Fall is here and my workshop is finally created and completed! You've seen my card workshop portion before, and now here's the scrapbook layout portion of it.

This workshop uses the Pathfinding Scrapbooking WOTG. To make this 2-page layout, the cost is $15 and everything comes pre-cut and pre-stamped.

Big thanks to Sandie's team member Angela for this inspiration. They got me so pumped up, and tremendously helped me move forward to complete this month's workshop.

Catching Up on Scrapbooking

Last Saturday I attended The Busy Bee's Falling for Scraps team event by invitation from my good friend Sandie Alford. Her awesome team organized the event and I was very lucky to have participated. We did 7 make and take projects, and I came out inspired, and pumped to actually finish my scrapbook layouts. I had a layout from August that I was not able to finish and was not able to offer together with my card workshop.

Here's my completed August Chalk It Up Scrapbook Layout. I tweaked the design a little bit from the intended Chalk It Up WOTG Scrapbooking kit. I tried to add in more picture slots, because personally I'm the type who wants to load the pages with pictures. I also threw in a Chalk It Up Picture My Life card in there to show just how versatile that kit is. All the cuts used Cricut Artbooking cartridge.

My September Scaredy Cat Scrapbook Layout is inspired by Sandie herself. I added in some borders and embellishments from the August Stamp of the Month What A Hoot. I did the 2nd page and tried to continue on the theme from the 1st. I added in the Dracula image from Creepy Creatures stamp set, just to make it more fun. I gave them a dash of color by using Shin Han Peony Purple and Light Orange markers. I love love this stamp set!! Everything else is cut using Cricut Artbooking cartridge.

I can't wait for Halloween. My daughter wants to be Elsa from Frozen. Probably not fit for this layout but who knows, kids, they always change their minds! :)

Fall Cards Using Pathfinding

Fall is just around the corner (at least for us here in SoCal), and I can't wait! Weather's been way too hot I hope Fall comes soon.

Here's a sneak peek of my workshop for October. I made 3 cards using Pathfinding Cardmaking Workshop on the Go. The whole kit can make 15 cards out of these 3 designs. I did my own version, with some tweaking the design that came with the kit.

Here's a close up look of each card. This has got to be my favorite I think. I love the different mix of colors and how 'Fall' it looks like!

I am so loving the woodgrain stamp that comes with this kit. Isn't that just adorable? You can use it as a full card background too. I will have to do that some time.

My third card's inspiration is from the Wishes book I believe.

The whole kit costs $24.95 and can make you 15 cards from 3 designs. If you wish to purchase the kit, click here. I will be including this for my October workshop so stay tuned for details! If you can't wait, leave a comment or email me and I can send this card workshop first.

Thanks!
