Card Kits

Wendy — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:23:51 +0000

These card kits by CTMH are so great! They are quick and easy to put together. It’s the perfect thing to do when I’m not feeling creative or need something to grab when scrapbooking away from home. You can make the cards as they are designed or you can mix it up and make your own. Pictured above is the My Originals From the Heart Card Kit. I added cocoa ribbon and used some pop dots. The kits come with enough supplies to make 12 cards, including the envelopes, and they are very reasonably priced.

Here’s another kit: Snowflakes (retired). I added silver eyelets, liquid glass, and prisma glitter to my cards.

Distressing Chipboard – Play

Wendy — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:58:48 +0000

Sanding chipboard is a fun, easy, and fool-proof technique. These chipboard letters by Pressed Petals came pre-colored and included a sanding stick. All I had to do was rub the stick back and forth around the edges of the letters to remove some of the pink color and reveal the white. It’s a nice distressed look.

Supplies used: CTMH Whoops-A-Daisy paper, CTMH White Daisy, and cardstock, Pressed Petals Chip Chatter letters (sanded), garage sale flowers, EK Success fasteners, and gemstone brads from the Target Dollar Spot. Layouts inspired by sketches from Cherish by CTMH.

Painted storage containers

Wendy — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:57:28 +0000

I found these cardboard type containers on a rummage sale. I made them mine own by painting them in bright colors with MM paint. I stamped the flowers with white paint and added ribbon around the edges with Glue Lines for a finished touch. I use mine as storage in my scrapbook room but there are endless possiblities to what you could do with them. Choose colors and themes to suit your needs for your scrapbook room, the office , the kids room, or even the garage. Hmm…I think I might have to keep an eye out for more of these!
