Hello again! Time is just flying by, can't believe it's been 2 weeks since our last blog hop already. It took me awhile to come up with something for the letter "I" but I did it :) Sat down at my crafting table with all my supplies scattered everywhere and it jumped out at me! Irresistibles!!! These are great chipboard die cuts that already have a resist pattern on them, so all you have to do is ink them them up. The ones I used are sadly discontinued, but you can find others at my website. We have a houndstooth alphabet, some journaling spots, and frames.

I've still been hard at work making Mother's Day cards (remember it's May 12th - soon!!! So go get your handmade cards from my Etsy shop). Here are 2 more that I've made, both using the adorable Irresistibles!

This one uses our NEW Dream Pop paper, not yet available to customers. It will be soon though! The entire month of May if you make any purchase of $35 or more you can get this exclusive paper pack for only $10. It comes with 12 B&T and 12 Cardstock that will not be available again after May 31st, so make sure you get at least a few packs ;) I sanded the edge of the card stock to reveal some more of the white core and make it pop off the page a bit more. The stamp is from Perfect Fit - Mom on White Daisy card stock, stamped in Grey Flannel ink. The shape is cut from our Artiste cartridge, pg 33 at 1-1/2". The flower was inked with Tulip ink using a sponge. I just love that resist pattern!

Here is another card using the Dream Pop paper. Behind the sentiment is some baker's twine wrapped around the card stock. Can you see the cute pattern on the butterflies?

So I've been out of town away from all my crafting supplies and racking my brain for something to do for the letter D...I got home late Wednesday night (the day before Valentine's Day) and realized I hadn't even made my hubby a card yet, yikes! So Thursday morning I'm looking through all my paper and stamp sets trying to get some inspiration and I got it :) I'm still in love with the Dotty for You paper (no longer available, was a special from last year) and I just got a new stamp that isn't too girly. Here is the quickie card I came up with!

The stamp on the front is one of our Quick Cards - Dragonfly (A1134). I love this series of stamps because it's an image and a sentiment all in one! If you can't read it, it says "You make my heart flutter" To create the effect I covered the stamp in Sweet Leaf ink and then inked just around the edges of the stamp in Lagoon.

The inside sentiment is from the January SOTM (Stamp of the Month).

Chantilly Card WOTG

So what exactly is a WOTG? It's a Workshop On The Go! It's got everything (almost!) pre-packaged along with instructions on how to make whatever it is that the workshop includes. We have WOTG's for cards, layouts, and even decor items. Pretty neat right? Right! My workshop for the month of February is based on our Chantilly Card WOTG. It includes the cards and envelopes, paper, an exclusive stamp set that you can ONLY get in the WOTG, and some exclusive embellishments as well.
Here is the "official" picture of what the directions help you make:

They are really cute. Pretty gender neutral birthday cards.
One thing I love about our papers, if you don't already know, is that they are double sided. So that leaves quite a few options, even with the limited amounts of paper you get in a WOTG, to make some variations and put your own spin on the cards. The following are some of the cards I came up with. Keep in mind that the 3 "thank you" cards I made were using a different stamp set than the one in this WOTG.

As with all of our WOTG's, you will need some basic tools to complete them. Ink, acrylic blocks, adhesive, paper trimmer, scissors, etc. If you are local to Hawaii, join me for this workshop later this month (exact date/time coming soon!). If not, order the kit and just follow the directions. It's super easy. And be creative! Just like I did, don't be afraid to change things up and make these cards your own.

You will get all of this for only $29.95!

So between visiting family out of town and being sick, I sadly missed the A and B of this...but I am so ready to jump on this blog hop and have an extra motivation to craft (and blog about it of course!) I hope you enjoy my creations!

I had a custom order for invitations and thank you cards for a sweet girl's 5th birthday party. They were having a sophisticated tea and dress up party. Of course I squealed in delight and my creative juices started flowing. I used our Cricut Artiste Cartridge and a stamp set from our Cricut Art Philosophy set to create the invitations.

Isn't that adorable?! 

Materials for the front:

Card is colonial white

La Bella Vie paper pack (now retired)

Tan ribbon from Pear and Partridge card workshop

Dress cut from pg 41 of the Artiste cartridge - Z1790

Stamp set from the Art Philosophy Cartridge bundle - Z1686

7mm Pearl bling non-CTMH

Pink ribbon is non-CTMH

Here is the inside of the card. Personal information blurred out of course.

The pink background page is also from the La Bella Vie paper

Teapot cut from La Bella Vie mauve using a non-CTMH cricut cartridge

Information is printed on white vellum

Ribbon is non-CTMH

And here is the thank you card.

Background is from La Bella Vie

The pink is from La Bella Vie

Stamped with "Thanks" in black - A1125

Embellished with Bitty Sparkles - Z1263

Black tulle ribbon is non-CTMH (although we have some! it was thicker than I was looking for)
