I am loving "Buzz and Bumble", one of the new Close to My Heart Spring/Summer paper packs.   Here is a Tag I created which showcases our cardstock weight papers.   


The tag is cut from the exclusive CTMH Cricut Artiste Cartridge - Pg.37 (accent 3) @5.5". 
Assorted papers are cut at 1/2" x 3", adhered flush with the left side and trimmed on the right side after all papers have been added.

A FEW OF MY LATEST CARD CREATIONS

Our Grandchildren are growing so fast.  Hannah, our second Granddaughter, is now a teenager.  Sometimes less is better and in this case the simplicity of this card was a big hit with her!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH!



Our oldest Grandson, Xavier, just graduated from High School.  I saw this card on a blog and fell in love with the design and was inspired to create this one, which is similar. I forgot to get the name of the original designer but "Thank You" for your creativity.

CONGRATULATIONS XAVIER!

 

These cards were a sneak preview of the five we created at my Card Workshop.  The card on the left was inspired by Karen Morris. Hi Karen!

The right card was inspired by Naomi Smith. Both ladies are very talented.

Can you pick out all the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge images??

                          

                           DOTTY FOR YOU -  May Workshop

One of my "Dotty For You" May workshops.  Six standard size cards and a cute heavy-duty chipboard magnetic-close box to store them. Makes a great gift to give or keep for yourself. 

I love the variety of designs in this paperpack with coordinating dot designs on the reverse. 

I have enlarged the photo so you can see the rich colors and designs of the cards and some of our new embellishments.

Due to the popularity of this paperpack, I am extending the workshop through the month of June. 

The workshop will be held at my home Craft Studio in Portsmouth, NH.

Date: Saturday, June 16  

Time:  11:00am - 1:00pm

Class Fee:  $15 (paid at workshop)

All projects are pre-cut for your convenience.

Two drawings for CTMH products and a Free Idea Book.

You can also schedule a date and place to have your own workshop during the month of June for you and your friends.   

Space is limited so email me at LearnToStamp@comcast.net before June 13 to hold a spot for you and a guest,

The workshop and other events will also be posted on my Meet-Up group site at:

Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Collection

Close To My Heart introduced their exclusive Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge at Convention in early July 2011.  I ordered the cartridge as soon as I returned from Convention and soon after that I purchased the Cricut Expression machine at a local craft store.  The cartridge is amazing.  You can see I have been having fun with it.  What a great addition to my business tools. 
You have to see the exclusive Cricut Art Philosophy Collection from Close To My Heart.  You'll want it too!
