Well, I LOVE these!!

There comes a time that you just can not put an hour or two into one single card. So when I am running low on cards (and time!), I will sit down and start an “assembly line” to create several of the same style card for my stash. This is a set of three simple but sweet cards using my brand new order from Papertrey Ink!

Here is what I used: Garden Variety stamp set, Edgers #3 Die Collection and small strips of Bitty Dots Basics patterned paper.

The white cardstock was cut using the edger die (and my cute Cuttlebug), stamped with some of the sweet images and then popped up onto the kraft cardstock base with some foam stripes for some dimension.

I slipped a small strip of the bitty dots basics patterned paper on the kraft cardstock before adhering the white to emphasize the layers and add just a little more color to the card. I think it adds the perfect balance!

Is that sweet enough for ya?! These cuties will be perfect for all sorts of occasions and now sit waiting for their perfect owners…

I hope you do have a sweet day and a wonderful weekend ahead! Thanks for stopping by!

Today, I bring to you a set of 6 cards that I call “White Beauty.”  They feature a new stamp set from Papertrey Ink, Year of Flowers Collection. This lovely set allows me to add a pop of color to the white on white; the perfect amount of color, if you ask me!

Don’t you just love the woodgrain texture just popping out at you. Maybe my theme should be “popping” since I love things to pop out! I love the simplicity that still grabs attention! I played along with some challenges this week while creating these beauties, please see the list below.

A little bit of twine and pop dots… now we’ve got a white beauty! I hope to spend some more time making a few different sets of these cards in other color combos for my Etsy shop! These sweethearts are great for any occasion.

Thanks for visiting and (hopefully) enjoying my little beauties… have a blessed week!

This month’s Papertrey Ink blog hop challenge is all about Embroidery Floss and how you can use it! I don’t have any, but I think that baker’s twine has a similar look and texture… With this card I didn’t actually embroider with it but I used it as an accent for the edge of my button card! I had a ton of fun with the button dies and stamps from Button Boutique! Wrapping the floss/string around the corners wasn’t as easy as I had thought, but now that I know what I am doing, the next time will be easy peasy…

I simply placed some adhesive down on the backside of the card to hold the floss in place and wrapped it around. Once it was wrapped, I then placed another piece of adhesive over it (on the backside) to hold it in place for good. I wrapped both corners twice for some texture. Speaking of texture, don’t you just love lace? I just bought a yard of lace fabric from JoAnns since I had a 50% off coupon — yep, $3 for a yard is pretty good and I am hoping it will go a long way! Since I had just bought it, I couldn’t wait to use it on a project, so here it is!

Is it true??? It is already the 25th of February and time for another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!?

I can not believe how quickly 2011 is going by. I have been wanting to blog more, especially the projects I have been working on, but have been oober busy over here. I hope everyone is well and that you are enjoying the blog hop so far :) This month’s challenge was to use Scallops in any and every way. As you will see, my new stamp set from Papertreiy just arrived and I couldn’t wait to get my hands dirty! I used it to create two sweet Baby Shower cards. My scallops have been layered 6 times in order to achieve some sort of a elegant, soft texture. I love how it turned out!

I only had a short time to play with my new stamp set, Button Boutique, but I have to say that this may become a new favorite! It has sparked so many new ideas and inspiration! Thanks to Mish and Nichole for providing another amazing stamp set that can be used in so many creative ways… The cards below are just a few that I had fun with tonight and are also just another sneak peek of what is to come in my Etsy Shop!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my creations! See you next month!

Let me start off by saying how wonderful it is and I know you are going to swoon over it just as much as I have when you check it out. Be sure to check out www.closetomyheart.com on February 1st to see it online! And now for some of the goods…

Here is how the blog hop will work: Simply scroll down to the bottom of my blog to view all of the wonderful creations on other wonderful Consultant blogs — click on them one by one to view them up close! I can only imagine how many awesome projects are just waiting to be seen! Don’t forget to come back throughout the day to see who else has added their link to more awesome creations! Here’s mine:

This card features a new paper pack called Wings. This pack has the most beautiful color combo of Juniper, Sweet Leaf, Vineyard Berry and Black! I just am in love with the combo! I also included a strip of the Kraft Color-Ready Borders! Okay, are you ready for this?! First of all, they are Kraft — amazing! Second, the backside has adhesive all ready for you to peel and stick! It is wonderful,convenient, all that good stuff! I included a photo of some of the designs that are included in the pack below.

Products used: Wings Paper Pack (X1375A/B), Kraft Color-Ready Borders (Z1377), Licorice Opaques Adhesive Gems (Z1335)

(and that’s only about 1/4 of the pack!! Great Deal!)

And for card #2, well, I needed something simple and sweet. This card took about 10 minutes to think up and create, so I am pretty happy with how it turned out. The only new product featured is the Kraft Color-Ready Borders — I have a feeling you will be seeing these beauties a lot! I used it as a ledge for the cutie owl from “You’re A Hoot” which I paper pieced together so that her eyes could have some color… aint she a doll!? When you do a simple card, you have to keep it simple, but the layout of your stamps and colors/embellishments need to flow too. I had fun laying it all and can’t wait to pass this card on to someone special!

And as a closer, I thought I would also announce the February Constant Campaign! You wont want to miss this if you use Studio J and love it! *This is a “Members-only” deal, so e-mail me at ames33@gmail.com if you are interested in signing up and I will walk you through the process. (So worth it!)

I am so excited for 2011… just another year full of new experiences, creations and happy moments! As I was cleaning the house and putting things away I realized I never did send any Christmas thank yous. So here are my short but sweet cards. Wanna guess how long these sweet thangs took me (there were actually a set of 6 — two of each)! A whoppin’ 30 minutes!

I took a small 4.5 x 6.5″ matstack from DCWV, called Linen Closet and chose 9 gorgeous papers to create with. I used the more simple patterned papers and folded them in half for the card bases and die cut the focal points out of the more elaborate papers using Papertrey Ink’s Mat Stack 4 die. Then I stamped the sentiment on creamy white cardstock and chopped them down to create a little banner — the banners were adhered using popdots for dimension. I quite like the simplicity of these cards. The matching button to the right ties it all in and adds that sweet little touch that I was looking for.

You will probably see me using this method for Thank You’s more often now that I know how easy and cute they are. I always am looking for new projects to use the small matstack papers with and the best part is that all of the papers match so it takes all of the guess work out of it for you!

I hope the recipients enjoy opening their cards and know that they are appreciated! Lots of love was mailed out today!
