Card Club in February features 1/2 of a Penelope Paper Pack

Have you seen the new paper packs yet (Charlotte, Penelope, and Regatta)?  They are slightly different from the previous packs. They now contain 11 different patterns, 1 is a Picture My Life (PML) page of cards that are ready to be cut up.  So there are 12 sheets total, 1 is the PML page, and the others are different patterns front & back.  The pack contains 2 of each sheet of paper.

Penelope Paper

So I decided to challenge myself and see how many cards I could create with 1 of each sheet of paper.  The answer – a whole LOT.

Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (01)

So on February 25th we will create 3 of each of the 5 cards pictured above.  That’s 15 using 1/2 of the Penelope Paper Pack (X7207B).

Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (02)

PLUS, 1 of each of these 4 cards using the PML cards from the PML sheet of paper.

Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (3)Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (4)Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (5)Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (6)

These cards were so quick to put together with little to no stamping and just a simple embellishment.

Now back to the first 5 designs. 

Cards 02 - CMTH Penelope (10)

This card uses the February Stamp of the Month, Balloon Animals. How cute are they?

Cards 02 - CMTH Penelope (11)

This card is probably my favorite.  I just love this stamp set, Rejoice (A1184), and of course it’s perfect to celebrate the Easter season.

Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (07)

This card (or cards) features the stamp set called Animal Greetings (D1679) that benefits Operation Smile.  Every $7 from the purchase of this stamp set goes directly to Operation Smile.

Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (9)

These last 2 cards use some of our new Thin Cuts, Spring Critters.  Each set of thin cuts pairs perfectly with a stamp set.  I couldn’t decide between the bird or the bunny so I did one of each.

Cards 02 - CTMH Penelope (8)

This last card is another one of my favorites. I recreated it for my nephew’s 1st birthday.

 

So have you been counting?  That’s a total of 19 cards using 1/2 of the Penelope paper pack (and I still had some paper leftover).

 

Want to join us?  If you aren't local or can't come to the class, I can mail you a kit that will include my cutting diagrams, instructions, and pictures.  If you would like me to cut and stamp your kit please add $8.

So who wants to join in the fun?

Thursday, February 25 at 6:30pm

Cost is $28 to make 19 cards (3 each of 5 designs and 4 using PML cards)


Register by Thursday, February 11th

If you can't make it to the workshop, I can put a kit together for you.  Add $5 if shipping applies, and $8 if you want it stamped and cut.

Thanks for stopping by.

June Card Club–Sympathy and Get Well

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  I hope you are taking some time this weekend to thank those that have fought for our freedom and remember those that lost their lives defending this country.  This weekend is so much more than bright sunny days, grilling food, and spending time with family.  I hope you enjoy every aspect of it. Perhaps these cards can also brighten your day. These are the cards that we will create at my June Card Club on Thursday, June 30 from 6:30-9:30pm . Per requests from my regular attendees, I chose to focus on sympathy and get well cards. This card features a retired stamp set, Kiss It Better , but I really wanted to use it. I love how the band-aids act as closures to the ripped card front. This card is much easier than it looks.  The flower is just circles that have been folded.  I added a stem from our Artiste Cricut collection (which is retiring on July 31 by the way). Having a bad day? This card is sure to brighten it and give you some encouraging wo

June Stamp of the Month Blog Hop–Ice Cream Dream

Yeah!  I am finally getting a chance to participate in another blog hop.  We have 50 Close to My Heart Consultants participating in this month’s Stamp of the Month Blog Hop .    If you lose your place along the way the complete list of participants can be found here.   If you have come here from Kathleen Androlewicz’s Blog you are on the right path. The June Stamp of the Month is entitled Ice Cream Dream (S1506) (Set of 7). Here is a picture of this stamp set. I chose to make a card with this stamp because I thought it would be perfect for a birthday! I chose a pattern from our How-To-Book, Wishes: Simple Side View .  I love the cut-out on the front of the card to reveal a little bit of what is inside. I colored the ice cream truck with some of our ShinHan Markers (Peony Purple, Warm Grey 4, Tender Pink, Turquoise Blue, Golden Yellow, and the Blender for some shading). Then I simply added some of our new washi tape from the Carnival Washi Tape pack (Z3067), s
