Quilt card using Close to My Heart Wings Collection

The week is half over and I have another card to share with you. 

I used a bit of each of the patterns in this collection and even managed to use my go to cartridge (Songbird) for the top note shape on the card and envelope. 

I love the idea of using the top note shape as the address label on a black envelope.  I also used the clear embossing powder and the beautiful butterfly stamp from the Stamp of the Month to finish off the envelope. 

I used a scrap pc of colonial white card stock for a base to my 'patch work quilt' to I knew exactly what to cut for each pc from my scraps--this is a great way to use up some of the smaller bits left behind from other projects.  

I mounted the sentiment to a strip of satin ribbon and added two buttons with colored twine tie to finish off the outside.  I simply love this stamp!!! We all have a friend or two that this is true for!

I finished off the inside with a 5x7 pc of the matching green with a strip of the butterfly paper down the side. 

Make it a great one

Scrap Card monday using Close to My Heart Wings Collection

Happy Happy Monday--I am in NYC this week market week and will be here till next Saturday morning.  I am so excited about the new Close to My Heart collections--The paper is BEAUTIFUL--the Stamps are AMAZING--what does this mean for me--I am going to be BROKE!!!
Info for the next club goes out this week!!! Idea books and last months order is going to be waiting for me when I get home!
I have a super easy card today using scraps from the projects form last week and the Stamp of the Month set for January

I used a fiskers edge punch for the bracket shaped borders and some satin ribbon and colored twine (you can color natural twine with your ink pad if you don't mind getting a little ink on your fingers!)  I made the ribbon explosion with four pcs of ribbon folded at the half and than attached using my Tim Holtz tiny attacher (every scrapper must have one of these--if you don't run, don't walk, to the store and pick on up!!!)  I think the button is from Melody Ross--but it has a nice refined vintage feel to it.

This stamp is from the Stamp of the month set--which I think is one of my most fav sets ever!!  I used versa mark ink and clear embossing powder and you see the results.  I also used the same stamp and technique on the envelope--I really like the look on the black card!

Wings Workshop On the Go Cards

Well I am off to NYC today and I have been doing my best to work ahead so I can keep this fresh!
Today I want to share the cards from the WINGS workshop on the go from CTMH.  You get a ton of stuff in these workshops--more than enough to make 6 cards (2 each of three designs) and a two page layout as well as many many projects with the leftover paper, trims, and the exclusive stamp sets that are only available in the kits!

I have never been disappointed in the workshops and some of my fav stamp sets are kit exclusives--so worth the 29.99.
Make it a great one!!!!
