Happy Birds

Good morning Friends!  Today is Thursday so that means it is time for a new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks!

Lori is our hostess this week and she is looking for
3 SETS OF PAIRS.

For this card I pulled out my new favorite embossing folder and some Kraft card.  This Chevron folder is from Close To My Heart and is just so fun!  The stamp set is also a CTMH set called Happy Birds.  I colored them with my Spectrum Noir pens (I am WAY out of practice!)  The pattern paper is from the Brushed collection.
Here is a close up of the birds and flowers.


As you can see I have at least 3 sets of pairs on this card! 
 2 Birds - 2 Flowers - 2 words.

So be sure to head on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your project using 3 sets of pairs today!  We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Fall is in the Air!

Good morning Friends!  It is time once again for another wonderful challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.
This week the lovely and talented Tamie is here to host our challenge. (Welcome Back Tamie!)
Tamie is getting into the spirit of the season and would like to see a FALL project.
As I have been getting ready for my October card workshop- this is the perfect challenge - because we are doing an entire workshop on FALL and Thanksgiving themed cards!  
The card I am going to share with you today is using the CTMH stamp set - Always Grateful.  I love the trees in this set along with the beautiful sentiments!





For this card I used the paperpack - Pathfinding.  I just love the fall colors in this one!
I stamped my image first with Barn Red ink then took a Q-tip and added in the rest of the fall colors - Autumn Terracotta, Honey, and Olive.
A little bit of shimmer trim and a creative masterpiece was born! (LOL)
So what are you waiting for?  Head over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your FALL project today!

Hostess Rewards - Thanksgiving Wreath

Good afternoon Friends!  Can you believe it is the middle of September already?  Where did this year go?
Today I wanted to share a project I made using the Close To My Heart Hostess Rewards Stamp Set - Thanksgiving Wreath.


This is actually just a 3x3 card.  I started by using the Wishes how to book.  I cut my card base at 3x6 and scored at 3 inches.  The front was done using scraps of paper from the Close To My Heart Exclusive card stock.  I stamped my sentiment with Chocolate ink and mounted it to my card using 3-D adhesive. A little bit of embroidery floss and it was complete.  A pretty simple thank you card!

If you would like to learn more about the products used to create this card please visit my website.

Fancy Folds and Seaside Greetings

Good morning friends!  Today marks a new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks and I am excited to be the hostess this week.
Our theme this week is - Fancy Folds

For my card I decided to do a simple easel card and use one of the new stamp sets from Close To My Heart - Seaside Greetings.  I also used paper from the Seaside paper pack.  I stamped my image using Pacifica ink on Indian Corn Blue card stock and matted it to a piece of Colonial White and then another piece of Indian Corn Blue.  All of this went into the center of my card base which I used Seaside to create.  A few gold triangles and some Teal Shimmer trim and this card was complete!  I don't do CAS very often and I am not really sure this qualifies, but I love the clean crisp look of this one!

Here are a couple of close ups of these great stamps:

Sewing

Good morning friends!  Can you believe we are into September already?!  Where is this year going!
Today starts a new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.  The lovely and talented Leanne is our hostess this week and has she got a challenge for you!  She wants to see sewing (either real or faux) on your creations.  This was really a challenge for me.  I knew I wanted to actually sew on my card, but my machine did not want to cooperate.  I ended up using my stitching guide to preset my holes and then sewed it by hand.  It actually wasn't that bad!  My layout came from the Close To My Heart Wishes book.  The paper is from the Paper Fundamentals pack Enchantment collection along with some Cocoa and Pear card stock.  The stamp set is from our September Stamp of the Month - Family is Forever and the ribbon and brads are from my stash.  


It is a pretty simple design but love the way it turned out!

If you want to learn more about the products I used here visit my website here.

Be sure to hop over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your project using sewing today!!! I can't wait to see what you have for us!
