Heart2Heart Challenge - Show us Your Flowers

Heart2Heart Challenge wanted to see some artwork using flowers so I decided to share these favour boxes. The Artiste Cartridge from Close to My Heart is a helpful tool for creating interesting favours. I created these for one of my daughter’s bridal showers last weekend. They were filled with four Hershey kisses. They could be made larger to hold more.  It was a mix and match design from two different Artiste designs that worked beautifully. The original flower on page 65 is an orchid shape and I wanted to make it more like a daisy or informal floral shape.

How to:

The bottom was created with the design on page 65. Cut on b <3d object=""> at 2 3/4^th from Pear Cardstock.

The flower top is from a different design on page 32. Cut on 2 at 2 3/4^th from Cotton Candy Cardstock. Flowers were put through the Cuttlebug embossing folder - dot design.

The leaves are from same design on page 32. But cut on 2 SHIFT at 2 3/4^th from Pear Cardstock.

Sparkles were added to the tops for a little bling.

A Farm Style First Birthday Invitation

One of my customers Ginette is a proud grandmother of an amazing little boy and she and her daughter-in-law created the cutest first birthday invitation using a farm theme. Not sure of all the details but a Cricut was used. I had to post as it is so adorable.  When you open the door you see all the details about time, location, etc . Brilliant Ginette- so proud of my customers who use their products to create wonderful things.

 

Changing up the For Always Card Kit - Card Pairs

Take a look at several cards created from the For Always Card Kit and a second card created highlighting a different stamp set but using the same basic pattern and papers.

Change the orientation and use a stamped image from another stamp set.

Used the stamp set from another Workshop to Go here - Tommy Workshop to Go.

Pinwheel Stamp - Three Ways using a Card Formula

Featuring the May Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart, the three cards were created using this stamp set and every stamp in the set was used. Just love that! This is my fav stamp of the month from this idea book.

This is something fun to try. Cut pieces from your scrap box or paper paks( see dimensions on the diagram) and put them in a zip lock bag. When you want to create a card arrange and play with the pieces and add details. Each of these three cards have the same basic parts but they are arranged differently.

 

Here is the cutting diagram and sizes for two of the cards (third was the same)

 

 

Here are the three cards together.
