Well, as you can see, I have NOT improved on my blogging but I am happy to report that I have been creating monthly layouts for scrapbooking and cardmaking with CTMH. I love creating and crafting with friends. I am going to post what we did this month and then maybe I will post the past months creations for at least my sake! :-O
This month we created monogram cards using the "For Always" paper (which is one of my favorites!). I love adding it with honey or lagoon or ruby papers and it just "Wows" you!
Here are the four card we made in club. I love how they turned out.
For any members that did not purchase a personal monogram acrylic stamp, I gave the option to make birthday cards with birthday fit-a-frame stamp set.
I also used the honey ink for this card to show a different look.
I have started trying to add a little extra to the inside of the card. On this card I just used some little scraps of honey and a circle stamp.
One more thing we did in club was learned an embossing technique. I believe I found this idea from my pinterest board and I cannot find the site to give the proper credit where it is due---because I pretty much followed her directions. So when I find it, I will add it. Here is the card:
This card was embossed with CLEAR powder on white paper. Then I inked the paper up using CTMH sponge daubers. I started with the lightest color and worked down to the darker color. The stamp set used was June's CTMH SOTM "Flowering Bunch"--which is a favorite of mine.
Well, I am not going to say much more as I want to get this posted and hopefully add to my blog later.
Happy crafting everyone!
